TRAFFIC FATALITIES
FOR CHILDREN DROP
Ratio Decreases Nearly 80 Per
Cent in Eight Years,
Says Report.

Benefits of safety education work for
the prevention of accidents to children
are disclosed in a recent report of the
Highway Education Board, which shows
that the ratio Of child traffic fatalities
has been decreased nearly 30 per cent
since the work was first undertaken
eight years ago.
Although complete statistics are I'm.
available, the report discloses that the
ratio OF fatalities to children under IS
years Of age in 1880 will not greatly
exceed 10 per cent Of the total fatalities
In 1922 children were victims of trafic
fatalities in nearly one out of every
three.
Equally encouraging are statistics dis
closing that, while the registration of
motor vehicles has more than doubled
during the period, the increase in the
number OF accident fatalities has been
less than 85 per cent.
Accident preyention programs are
credited for the improved showing. One
OF the most important activities of this
type Is the National Safety Essay and
Lesson Contest which has been con-
Quoted annually for the past eight years
by the Highway Education Board under
the auspices OF the National Automobile
Chamber Of Commerce.
Last year more than 100000 school
children submitted essays on the sub
Iect of highway safety. At the same
time 10000 school teachers participated
in the lesson contest conducted in con-
jur ction with the children's contest.

U.S.ROUTE TO PANAMA
SURVEY PLANNED
Inter-American Commission Will
Meet January 1851
at Isthmus.

The Inter-American Highway Com
mission will meet at Panama, January
26-31, to consider plans preliminary to
a survey of the route of the Inter
American Highway between Panama
and the United States, according to a
communication just received from Pam
ANA by the Pan-American Union.
The commission was created at the
Inter American Highway conference
which met at Panama in October, 1929,
with representatives in attendance from
Panama, Costa Rica. Nicaragua, Hon
duras, FL Salvador, Guatemala and the
United States. The Mexican section Of
the Inter American Highway already
has been laid out by the Federal High
way Commission of Mexico, and no sur
vey will be required in that country to
determine the route of the road. In Ell
Salvador virtually the entire section of
the highway extending from the frontier
of Guatemala to the border of Honduras
has been completed.
In the other countries surveys yet
remain to be made, and it Is announced
that the purpose of the commission is
to undertake the surveys within the
very near future to determine the most
feasible route of the road from Panama
nortnward TO the United States.
The United States has offered to CO.
operate in making the reconnaissance
surveys necessary to locate the route OF

HINTS ON WINTER DRIVING
GIVEN BY VETERAN DEALER
Certain Principles, If Followed,
Will Make for Greater
Safety and Comfort.

With the most dificult of all driving
seasons now at hand the motorist would
dc well to Ak in his mind certain prin-
ciples which, II followed, will make for
greater safety and comfort
So says Rudolph Jose, veteran local
automobile dealer, who cites several
things the motorist should especially
remember in relation to his Winter driv-
ing The list follows:
Give adequate hand signals. Stopping
Is more dificult on Winters treacher-
Gus street surfaces and ample warnings
are essential. Be sure to allow more
distance for stopping, turning, or any
other traf1c rnaneuver.
Keep the car in the best of mechanical
condition for the extra demands that
will be made upon 1t. Brakes not only
should operate instantly and vigorously,
but they should be as precisely equal
tied as it is possible to make them to
avoid skidding.
Some motorists run with the tires un-
Terminated TO get greater traction. The
gain in traction is negligible and the
wear on the tires excessive. Under-in-
flated tires are no substitute for chains
which are an indispensable adjunct to
Winter motoring.

When the car starts to ride hard there
are three things that should be consid-
cred: Tires. shock abSorbers and springs
Old rubber gets hard and unyieldine
Shock absorbers need servicing. Springs
settle and should be re-arced or re-
placed.
New tires will furnish some Of that
new car ease. The shock absorbers will

MANCHESTER, N. H, January "a
Although a motorist can operate q
motor car cheaper, as far as taxes are
concerned, in 90 States than he can in
New Hampshire, this State has lower
automobile taxes than any other State
in New England, except Massachusetts,
A compilation recently made by C.
NJ. Babcock, commissioner of highways
for Minnesota, shows that the tax total
for the average car in New Hampshire
is $41.47. This includes the average
vehicle tax of $20.65 and the average
gasoline tax of $20.82
The average Massachusetts, total is
$31.96. which includes vehicle tax
Of $8.70; the gasoline tax, $1193. and
the personal property tax on automo-
biles which does not exist in New
Hampshire, $l1.33.

fee many hours wear on his engine
simply for the sake of saving a few
minutes time in starting.
THE difficulty with the lighter oil
poured into the crank shaft in cold
weather is that it is likely to become toe
thin under operating temperatures to
lubricate the engine parts properly dur
ing the running of the car. The leak
age of gasoline past the piston rings
and into the crank case is usually
greater in cold weather than in warm
due, in part, to the use of the choke.
Also the evaporation of gasoline from
the crank case is slower. Thus a great
er amount of gasoline is likely to be alb
sorbed by the motor oil, making it dan
gerously thin for proper lubricating
service"

Choke Precision

While the condition of the battery,

nothing will delay the cold weather

the choke. On every car there is a
point at which the choke is most eff
cient. 1t may vary with different cars
Of the same make.
BY paying strict attention to the posi-
ton of the choke I can get a start at
the first spin of the motor. If I am
careless, I may be several minutes

Aid in Releasing Brake.

When the brake system is designed
so that one set of shoes is actuated by
two systems, in other words, when one
set serves for both service and parking
brakes, many drivers find it difficult
to release the parking brake lever. The
trick is to press hard on the service
brake pedal at the same time. 1t re-

Purchasers of Bank
Land Must Pay Taxes

Purchasers of land to which the
Bank Of North Dakota holds title
must pay taxes for the property while
paying for it, according to an opin-
ion by Attorney General James Nor
ris.
The opinion was given In reply to
an inquiry from G. Liebert Crum,
Carson, Grant county states attor-
ney.
Crum called attention to the fact
that the Bank Of North Dakota has
acquired title to several pieces OF
property in Grant county and now
has entered into contracts for their
sale. The contracts, Crum said, do
not appear Of record, but run for q
long term Of years, and the land Is
being farmed by the purchaser.
He asked whether, under the cir
cumstances, the land is liable for
taxes during the period IN which the
purchaser is paying for the property,
but has not acquired title.
Morris replied that under such cir
cumstances, the land Is subject to
taxation as against the purchaser
and that the land should be placed
on the tax list.
"As q matter Of policy" Morris said
in his opinion, "the Bank Of North
Dakota notifies the county auditor
Of the county in which the land SOLD
upon contract is situated as soon ss
the land is so sold, so that the county
auditor may place the land upon the
tax list. The management Of tho
bank feels that such land should be
placed upon the tax list as soon as
1t can be legally taxed in order that
the land bear its fair share Of the
tax burden of the local community III
which 1t is located"
