NATIONWIDE DRIVE
TO STOP ACCIDENTS
Legislatures in More Than
Forty States Will Consider
Legislation to Prevent Rear
end Auto Collisions.

NEW YORK (SPECIAL). - AS a
part of a nationwide safety drive.
the legislatures of more than 30 states
meeting this winter will consider
legislation requiring all automobiles
sold after certain dates to be equipped
with safety tail lights having reflex
lens, according to reports to the head
quarters of natic: al safety organiza-
tions.
BY the use of reflex lens in tail
lights. a warning is given to ap-
preaching drivers by means OF re-
flected lights from the headlights of
oncoming cars, even though the tail
light of the car ahead is not lighted,
thus enabling drivers to provide heir
own safety against rear-end smashes
at night.
An increasing number of automo-
bile accidents due to failure of me-
chanical equipment, with more than
10 per cent of such failures directly
attributable to unlighted head and
tail lamps, IS listed from reports made
public by motor vehicle authorities in
all parts of the country. Thousands
of rear-end smashes caused annually
by the failure of tail lights could
be prevented through the enforce
ment of uniform legislation, it was
pointed out.
More than 20 states already have
laws requiring that trucks and COM
mercial vehicles be equipped with
reflex lamps and in 1882 the State
of Colorado enacted legislation maxi
ing mandatory that the tail lamps of
passenger automobiles be similarly
equipped.
Police have long considered parked
automobiles without tail lights, and
faulty tail lights On moving cars, to
be among the greatest sources OF
danger on American streets and
roads. Reports from all sections of the
country show that, because of the
depression. IT, ,usands of motor car
owners add to the danger by park
ing their cars in city streets all night
without lights. in an attempt to elin1i-
nate garage rental and save batteries.
Safety organizations have urged
automobile manufacturers to adopt
as standard equipment various fea-
lures which contribute to the safety
of motorists, such as safety lamps.

Washington, D. C.-The people of the United States spend $715,- 900. 900 annually for drugs and medicines, which constitutes about 20 per cent of the national bill for sickness.
 Of this amount $190,000, 900 (26.6 per cent) is spent for medi- cines prescribed by physicians; $165,000 (23.1 per cent) for non- secret home remedies and $360 = 100000 (50,3 per cent) for "patent medicines" of secret composition. These facts are brought out in a report just issued by the commit tee on the costs of medical care of which Dr Ray Lyman Wilbur is chairman.
 This report, "The Costs of Medi- cines," published by the University of Chicago Press, discloses authen- tic figures on the drug industry in this country obtained through a three-year study on the subject made for the committee on the costs of medical care by pr R.

GOLD LINES LONDON ROADS

London GU. P.) - Country yokels visiting London used to be- lieve that the streets were paved with gold, and that the rigging that they saw was mining.
 To-day Londoners like to think that their streets are figuratively with the precious metal (particu- larly in the "city'', where banking and business are concentrated, ), though the value is represented by the buildings themselves.
 A statistical observer, standing on the steps of the Mansion House recently, counted four buildings within a stones throw represent ing an outlay of $60.000.000.
 The new Bank of England, for example, cost $20,000,000; the new Midland Bank cost $11,125,000; the new National Provincial Bank cost another $10,000,000, and the new Lloyds still another $10,000,- 900.
 Thees are not skyscrapers, for English law states that, unless special circumstances bring about special permission, a building may be no higher than 80 feet to the cornice and 120 feet 'stepped back" to its highest point. This i' because of the fire hazards and the ''ancient lights" rights.
