REPORT AUTO
DEATHS GAIN
Reckless Driving and Old
Cars Are Attributed
as Reasons .a
ByJ. C. Baskerville

,... Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH, June 22.--Automo-
biles continue to kill more people
in North Carolina than any other
one agency. During May, Ga were
killed and 333 injured in 233, &C
cidents in which 373 automobiles
were involved, according to fig
ures made public today by l.. S.
Harris, director of the motor We
hicle bureau of the State depart
ment of revenue. This brings the
total for the first five months OF
this wear to 271 killed and 1859
injured in 1,197 accidents. For
the first five months of 1882, =
total of 231 persons were killed
and 1888 injured in 1898 acct
dents, This is an increase of 40
in the number of persons killed as
compared with the same five
months of last year, but de-
crease of 229 in the number in
iured and u decrease of l6l m
The number of accidents.
. Director Harris is unable to &C
count for the increase in the
number of deaths and the de-
crease in the number of injured
and the number of accidents, ur-
less the large number of old and
mechanically imperfect cars on
the roads has something to do
with it. :
81 believe the large number OF
old and nearly worn out cars, tc-
gether with speeding and reckless
driving, have had more to do with
the increase in the number Of IA
tai accidents than anything else"
Harris said. "For it cannot be at
tributed to the number of cars,
since there are fewer cars on the
highways than in years"
Captain CHARLES D. Farmer, OF
the state highway patrol, how
ever, attributes the increase IN
fatal accidents primarily to speed
ing, due to the fact that there are
fewer cars on the roads with the
result that drivers go faster and
take more chances. He also points
out that the cars are being built
to attain faster and faster speeds.

fair Under Red Cross
Auspices

CAMP CAROLINA, Brevard,
June 22.-As the activities at the
ninth annual American Red Cross
Life-Saving Institute in the South
are drawing to a close here, the
largest affair now on the pro-
gram is the yearly pageant to be
staged on the waterfront here to-

ments have been got up entirely
by camp members themselves.
Making an unusually spectacu-
lar performance at night on the
lake waterfront, the pageant
brings into play all diving, swim
ming, ife-saving, first aid, boat
ing and canoeing instruction that
the students have had while in
camp. There vii. be an eXhibi-
ton by some of the divers in
camp, as we'll as performances by
several expert swimmers.
The drama production Thurs
day night will conclude a course
in pageantry being given as an
elective part of the institute cur
riculum. Despite the fact that
this course is entirely elective,
every student in camp is partici-
pating in the performance, to say
nothing of all the faculty men,
bers.
With 116 persons in the cast,
the principle PLAYERS are: Matte

Princess; Joel Snyder of Fayette-

Marshall of Washington, Captain

THANKSGIVING DAY

A nation of 120,000,000 people pauses
tomorrow to give thanks for the many
blessings it has received and in taking
stock of the situation finds abundant
reasons for being thankful.
None can deny that our situation as a
nation is vastly improved over what it
was year ago. 1t is not all that could
be desired, but this is a time for being
thankful for what we have and not for
idle wishing.
Hundreds of thousands who few
short months ago were pinched by lack
of the necessities of life, today have
passed the crisis and enjoy the blessing
of work, for which they sought in vain
over long period of years.
The laborer, who sought only the
chance to obtain subsistence for himself
and his family; the merchant, who knew
long hours when he was without patrons;
the professional man, unable to collect
the money due him for his clients had
none; the manufacturer, forced to sus-
pend operations because there was no de-
mand for his goods; even the farmer, be-
set for years by low prices for his pro-
ducts; all these see change for the bet
ter which indicates that brighter times
are ahead.
Just this week the nation saw the start
of plans to put four million men to work
before the end of December, their wages
to be paid by the federal government,
giving them and their families the neces-
sites of life and at least few of its COM
forts.
A nation staggering along for Is years
under well-intentioned but unenforce-
able law, rose up at the polls and cast it
aside, and while this course of action is
deplored by many, it is something for
which many others will rightly give
thanks.
Again, we extended the hand of friend
ship to great nation with whom we have
been at peace but whose very existence we
chose to ignore like the ostrich which
sticks its head in the sand, thereby be-
heving that which it does not approve
does not exist
Outstanding in what might be termed
spiritual blessings is the practical elm
lnation of child labor through the adop
ton OF the NRA codes by industries here
tofore guilty Of this pernicious practice.
spared the political strifes which have af-
fllcted other nations and there have been
few major calamities, none of which in
Jured US as nation.
Perhaps We cannot say that "our cof-
fers our full to overflowing" as we
boasted some years ago. but we can look
back on that period now and see its true
character 1t is better to want than to
be surfelted as we were then with a false
sense OF prosperity.
We have been richly blessed with ma
terial and spiritual things and having

agriculture has been cooperating
with state agencies in New Jersey

program Of parasite and disease
control. Briefly these seven points
are: % hatch or buy chicks early;
% keep the brooder houses clean;
80 either provide clean range or
keep stock in close confinement;
"a separate old and young stock;
90 keep manure pits screened; (6)
provide poultry wire just above the

Poultry raising is an important

WASHINGTON, Nov. 90. = The
navy department removed its anti
German signs in the nick of time
to prevent some grade A interna-
tional embarrassment.
The signs had been on the walls
for 18 years, warning navy depart
ment employees to beware of Ger
man spies.
The posters were getting yellow
ed. And the walls were getting
dirty. So a painter scraped off the
anti-German signs and painted the
walls a pretty pastel color.
The paint had hardly dried when
the distinguished new naval attache
to the German embassy, Capt. Robert
Witthoeft, paid his first visit to the
navy department. The painter got
no medal, but the diplomats in the
department think he deserves one.

THE TOUHY VERDICT

Yesterday the governments intensive
campaign against kidnapers struck its
first snag when federal jury of 10 men
and two women eXonerated four members
of the notorious "Touhy gang charged
with abduction of William Hamm, Jr,
st. Paul. Minnesota businessman.
Previously the federal prosecutors had
been successful in sending to prison
those responsible for the Urschel and
Luer kidnapings.
At this distance it is not logical to crit
icize the verdict though the fact that the
defendants are not given their liberty
but must be removed to Chicago to stand
similar charges in the Jake Factor case,
indicates that the government has con-
siderable evidence against them.
The background of the "Touhy gang
is an unfavorable one. Unfortunately
this cannot be taken into consideration IN
trying them. 1t is an important factor
in every other walk of life except in our
trial courts and that its exclusion is a SER
ious handicap to justice cannot be de-
MED
Vigorous criticism of the verdict is
made by officials, who may be charged
with prejudice, but who, nevertheless, are
in position to know many facts hidden
from the general public and kept from
the evidence by the intricacy of the law.
The police chief is reported as saying
such verdicts justify the San Jose lynch
ings. There will be many to agree with
him. Our system of Jurisprudence has
been permitted to become a protection for
those guilty of violating the law more
than it is a safeguard against those who
may be unjustly accused Verdicts

in the flocks of the 344 poultry
men who cooperated was 1876 per
cent. These poultrymen, it is noted,
were better than average and were
willing to take pains to cut losses.
By 1882 there were 961 flocks en-
rolled and losses had been cut on
the average to 1874 per cent. This
gain of more than five per cent in
the number OF chicks saved repre-
sents a decrease of nearly 80 per
cent in the number of chicks that
died. In flocks where the full sew
en-point program was in effect
mortality was as low as IA per cent.
1t is high time that these facts be-
come needed by more poultrymen
says Landerman, if they are to at
tack the increasing mortality rate
problem effectively.
