TRAFFIC SAFETY
PROGRAM PLANNED
Meeting Here in October to
Devote Efforts to Reduc-
ing Accidents.

A balanced program for reducing
traffic accidents will be submit ed to
the twenty-first annual Safety Congress
here October 81 on the basis of study
by the National Safety Council Of
causes underlying last years death toll
Of $4,000 persons.
The survey Of cause and result, COM
pleted at considerable cost of time and
expense, recommends engineering, edu-
cational and enforcement remedies, and
calls for the cooperation Of city, State
and Federal governments, schools, in
duStrial concerns and associations Of
all sorts.
ON the increase among private motorists,
while efficient safety work among COM
mercial operators Of trucks, buses and
taxicabs has reduced accidents in this
field.
Causes Of Accidents.
The survey found that the causes
CT accidents are: First. highways in
adequate for modern traffic, lacking in
safeguards or poorly equipped with sig
nails and lights; second, cars of high
power and speed, faulty brakes and
headlights or in poor mechanical con-
olt1on; third, drivers unframed, uncon-
trolled, indifferent to safety and heed
less of the rights of others.
The result was the loss of SO 900 lives
last year, injuries to 1000 900 persons
and the direct economic loss of
$3.50, ,000. 900.
The remedies, the program points
out, are: First, engineering, as to
streets. highways and cars built to
SAFETY standards, a traffic survey of
every community and signals, signs and
regulations based on engineering rather
than guesswork: second. education of
new drivers, dangerous drivers. pedes-
trians, children, traffic police. CONNER
clal drivers and education through COM
munity organization; third, enforcement
through uniform codes, model ordi-
nances. and through experienced State
and city poll backed by public opinion,
and through the traffic courts.
These remedies cannot be effected, 1t
was emphasized. without the cooper
alton OF the public as a whole.
Headquarters Established.
Headquarters for the congress will
be Wardman Park and Shoreham
Hotels. Another feature of the con-
ference will be display of almost every

Army Air Corps
Wages Warfare on
Texas Mosquitoes
Attack Group Lives Up to
Motto, ''Not by Arms
AlOne.7

On the battle crest of the deadly Sd
Attack Group. Army Air Corps, appears
the motto, Non Solum Armis," which
translates into mot by arms alone" !"
This motto is truth in the latest war
fare being waged by the group at its
home station, Fort Crockett, Tex. The
group is battling the pestiferouS mos
quito, and its weapons in this warfare
are numerous.
In cooperation with DR.. c. P. Google,
malariologist of the Public Health Serv-
ice. the group has brought the horrors
of war to the mosquitoes Of the Gulf
regions near Galveston. Among the
poisons used in the aerial warfare are
sulphur trioxide which resulted in stu
peflcation of the pests in from one to
six hours and survival of the insects
for three days; a chlorine solution,
which killed half the mosquitoes in six
hours and all of them in less than
three days, and a pyrethrum solution,
which brought death to all the mosqui-
toes so treated within six hours.
Dr. Google, in a report to the Air
Cops. expressed the belief that this
is the beginning of new chapter in
mosquito work, and with. our
combined ideas We feel very optimistic
that we may be able to solve the pest
mosquito problem"

TO OPEN
LITTLE SEASON"
Brilliant Series of Events

Until Christmas.
Special Dispatch 70 The Star.

Spec;al Dispatch 20 The Star
LONDON, September "a (NANAO
Tho so-callei little season." which
makes London so bright from now until
Christmas, shows signs of being par
ticularly brilliant this year. Commit
tee meetings are in full swing, for there
is plenty of organization behind the
apparently care-free gaieties of charity
balls and musical soirees.
Although there is no fixed event to
mark the opening Of the little sea-
son." it probably will date unofficially
from Wednesday, when Lady Samuel.
wife of the home secretary. lends her
drawing room for display of folk
dancing of all nations and recital
of folk songs by artists of many
nationalities.
Musical Evenings.
Musical evenings seem likely to loom
large in the social diary during the next
few months. In addition to the public
concerts to be given by the B. B. c.
Symphony Orchestra under Odrian
Boult; the New London Philharmonic
Orchestra, directed by Sir Thomas
Beecham, and the London Symphony
Orchestra, with Sir Hamilton Harty as
conductor, there will be a series Of
chamber concerts and recitals for which
well known people are lending their
drawing rooms.
Among the big charity balls will be
the Halloween ball october 81. at which
MANY old lovers customs will be re-
vived. On this occasion girls once again
will learn who their lovers are by
throwing apple-peel over the left shoul-
der and seeing what initial 1t makes,
and young men will find out the year
they are to marry by being led blind
fold to several lighted candles-the one
they bio wout deciding their marital
future.
The craze for "all the fun of the
fair" which brought a cockney note
into some of the smart dances OF the
London season, will continue during the
Autumn ball season, and lucky dips and
ringing the bottle will figure largely
among their attractions.
Mrs Richard Hoare is planning a
Spanish ball for December 9, when, it
is hoped, well known men and women
will dance in gorgeous Spanish shawls.

DEMPSEY SETS
new RECORD in

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY

CHICAGO, Feb. 18-Almost Az
years after he had Gene Tunney
on the floor for the famous -four
teen count Jack Dempsey will
make his first appearance in a Chi
cago ring in fighting regalia to-
night against King Levinsky, ranked
No. 7 in the heavyweight division
by the National Boxing association.
The match is billed as a around
exhibition, but it has all of the as
poets of a real fight Both fight
erS will wear 9la ounce gloyes-3i2
ounces over the regulation size, but
not too large to prevent either from
inflicting damage or scoring knock
outs.
A crowd of $4,000, the largest
ever to see an indoor boxing match,
will attend and enable Dempsey,
most popular fighter of all time,
to complete the cycle of boxing
records. He has participated in ey-
cry million dollar gate and holds
every outdoor mark. The previous
indoor record is S22,430, made in

the same building.
The gate receipts are expected
to be about $4,000 of which Demp-
seys share will be about S35, 900
and Leyinsky's $4,000.
More interest has been manifest
ed in the bout than any boxing
contest held in Chicago since the
Dempsey-Tunney battle in Septem-
ber 1927. Special trains will bring
ring fans from Milwaukee, Madi-
son, Wis, Detroit, Cleveland and

Track And Field
Meet February u

February 81 will be the date of
the annual Imperial Valley track
and field meet, to be held on the
El Centro hign school field, ac-
eording to an announcement today
by Coach Robert Armstrong of
Central Union high school.
This meet. one of the most out
standing high school athletic
events of the year, has become an
annual custom in El Centre. and
probably will draw a crowd as
large as any otbe. sports event
here this season.
Every school in Imperial Valley
will be represented on the El Gen.
tro field when the first gun is
sounded. The field meet this year
gives promise of being as interest
ing and hotly contested as any of
previous years.
For many years El Centro and
Brawley high schools have been
bitter rivals for first place in the
valley meet, and this year should
be no exception, since both schools
have an abundance of material to
place on the field.
