i. s. WILL PROBE
TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS.
Lamont Says Plans Have
Been Approved for Seeking
Cause of Troubles.

Secretary of Commerce Lamont to-
day said plans have been approved for
a program of research by Federal agen-
cies to determine the causes of automo-
bile traffic accidents and congestion and
to develop remedial measures which
may be applied by the Safes and mu-
inequalities in dealing with the problem.
Mr.. Lamont is general chairman OF the
National Conference on Street and
Highway Safety.
The Agriculture Departments Bureau
of Public Roads will carry on the re-
search work in cooperation with the
Commerce Departments Bureau OF
Standards. The work vii be directed by
Secretary Hyde of Agriculture. under
authority of the Federal highway act,
and will be organized by Thomas H.
Macdonald, chief of the Bureau Of Pub
lie Roads.
To Develop Information.
"It is not contemplated" Secretary
Lamont said, that the Federal Gov
that of existing bodies or that 1t Will
assume direction or responsibility 1or
traffic regulation activities throughout
the country. It's purpose is to develop
needed information and make 1t avail
able to the States, municipalities ana
the general public"
Mr.. Lamont emphasized that the
national associations and other organl,
cations participating in the National
Conference realized the gravity OF the
automobile problem indicated by 34,0oO
fatalities and million serious IN
juries annually as well as the losses
due to congestion amounting to several
billions of dollars each year. He re-
viewed the research work done IN tne
past by various organizations.
Obstacles to Probe.
I'm nearly every one of these studies.
however, the expert committees appoint
ed to develop the facts and recommend
ations,' he explained, have en-
countered serious obstacles in the lack
of basic data which it was found could
only be secured through extensive re-
search. Some research along the desired
lines has been carried on by private
organizations and by few OF the pet
ter organized State motor vehicle de-
partments and municipal traffic bu-
reaus. but these efforts have been limit
ed either because of inadequate re-
sources or because of their local scope"
Mr.. Lamont pointed out that the type
of questions on which information is
needed is confined not only to 1nstalla-
ton of different types of signals, design
of intersections for various traf1lc conol-
tions, but to a more searching and spe-
cific information as to the causes OF ac-
cidents-particularly the human factor.

The science of medicine had its orr

and superstition, and even today it has
not entirely shaken off all the heredi-
tary beliefs and symbols which have
adhered to it down through the ages.

Early Paper Money

In Europe paper to represent money
first came into use, apparently, dur
ing the Middle Ages when the Jewish
financiers Of those days reinvented
the bills of exchange of Babylonia
and recorded them in ink on parch-
ment and paper.
The Bank of st. George at Genoa
and the Bank of Venice were the first
corporations to use paper money.
Their bills were bullion certificates.
Because the use of these receipts
were so much more convenient than
carrying about heavy bags Of gold
and silver, they became popular with
merchants and even circulated at q
premium over coin.-Detroit News.

LONDON, Nov. 4.-(Copyright- Cd by The Associated Press.)-Sel- dom has Europe taken such a keen interest in an American Presiden- tial election as now, a survey of the Associated Press shows.
 Publicly, the officials of all na- tions are observing strict neu- trality" toward the Presidential election excepting to say:
 May Best Man Win
 Hoover or Roosevelt-may the best man win and then may he embody and inspire a new spirit in world leadership which will pull America and the world out of the slough of economic depression"
 Regardless of who is elected, Europe hopes and desires remain much as they were, including can cellaltion or drastic revision in the World War debts and disarma- ment, if it can be achieved suc- cessfully.
 Prohibition Issue
 All eyes are also turned on the fate of the Prihibtion law, Great Britain hoping to hear distilleries will be revived; France trusting that her wine industry will boom, and Germany hoping for recovery of che American beer market.
