legislation can be laid before the Legis-
latures Of the States at their next ses-

This code should prove a keystone
in the structure of uniform regulations
since it embodieS such fundamentally
sound ideas as the creation Of a motor
vehicle department in every State. and
the establishment of standard methods
of registration of vehicles. of licensing
of operators and chauffeurs and of

In approving the aims Of the asso-

Fatalities in Nine Months.

Nearly 10000 persons have been killed
and more than $4,000 injured in $685.
900 automobile accidents the first nine
months of this year, it has been esti-
mated by a national insurance COM
pany, on the basis Of detailed statistics
received from State authorities.
Although the deaths the first nine
months are nearly per cent less than
in the corresponding period OF last year.
there have been actual increases OF
nearly per cent in the fatalities per
accident. rs per cent in the number
of persons injured non-fatally per acci-
dent. and 26 per cent in the number
of deaths and persons injured non
fatally per accident This record Is
indicated despite S per cent decrease
in the number of motor vehicles regis
tered in the first half Of this year, and
also a decrease in gasoline consumption
during the first four months, since
which time gasoline consumption has
shown a gain.
Beginning in June, automobile acci-
dent fatalities have shown an increase
over the same period of last year which
amounts to nearly 6 per cent. Up to
June deaths decreased per cent. On
the basis of the trend in deaths which
started in June, it is estimated that
fatalities for the year as a whole very
likely will exceed the record of $4,000
of last year.
Official State reports OF deaths which
have been made available this year show
that fatalities have increased 1876 per
cent in the New England States, 1873
per cent in the Mountain States and

Every trip scheduled since the early
Spring Of 1892 has been flown exactly
on time, with two exceptions On each
occasion the Graf made up the lost
time en- route. This astonishing record
of dependability has been maintained
in spite Of the statement made two
years ago by DR.. Hugo Eckener, her
famous commander, that the Graf is
too small and not stanch enough for
regular service on the ocean airways.
The successful service Of the past two
years, in DR.. Eckener's eyes, is merely
experimental. 1t Is only demonstra-
ton Of what can be done when the
world decides to build the proper air
ships for regular commercial service.
When the Graf Zeppelin completed
her tranSoceanic season last November
she had made a total of 290 voyages
Of 1928 A year ago she passed the
SOC, ,0OO-kilometer mark, having flown
the equivalent of $4,000 miles BY

this month she will have flown nearly
400 900 miles.
That tremendous distance has been
flown with the original engines and
equipment and most Of the original
crew. Very few repairs have been made
to the glorious veteran of the skyways
and the operations costs have been de-
scribed by American airship experts as

three more crossings and three are
scheduled for October. in addition to
which the visit to the United States will
be made.
When it is recalled with what admi-
ration the world hailed the first ocean
crossing of the Graf in 1928. from
Friedrichshafen to Lakehurst, N. j., II
is significant that her feat Of 10 round
trips across the ocean each year for the

one of them. Last year the Graf made
So trips, aggregating 1.7664 hours of
flying time.
During her five amazing years Of ac-
tivity the Graf Zeppelin has crossed
the equator 35 tines and has made AZ
transocear1ic voyages.
The longest trip from Friedrichshafen
to Pernambuco required 76 hours and
IS minutes and the shortest 62 hours
and 80 minutes. The return trips,
against the prevailing winds, ranged
in length from 81 to 10l hours. The
average flying time for the westerly
trips was It's hours and the return trip
average was So hours.
The first voyage of the Graf Zeppelin
to South Amerca, in 1880, was regarded
as purely experimental. Three such
flights we're carried out in the Fall of
1881, one trip month, and a decided
increase in the number of passengers
and quantity Of mail carried was noted
with each trip. This increase continued
during the nine voyages Of last year.
As soon as the voyages were extended
from Pernambuco to Rio de Janiero a
decided increase in passengers and mail
was observed. At the last trip of the

80 passengers at Pernambuco. though

Earns Its Way.
The Graf, which is being operated in
close cooperation with the Hamburg
American Line, had earned enough a
year ago to write of her original cost.
The passenger, mail and express tariffs
are based on actual costs. drawn from
the expense charts Of several years of
operation. Operation costs. it is un-
derstood, have been far less than was
estimated originally.
Although DR.. Eckener as recently as
two years ago, prior to the Inauguration
of the regular South American service,
placed the cost Of an ocean crossing by
the Graf Zeppelin at $50,000. it was
revealed by survey of last years oper-
ations costs that the crossing costs aver
aged only $4,000 per trip, or just
little more than SO per mile.
Because Of economics in operation,
passenger fares have been reduced ap-
proximately to one-third greater than
steamship rates. On the first voyage
to South America fares ran as high as
$4,000. According to the Crafts 1888
time table, the fare between Fried
rtchshafen and Rio de Janeiro has been
reduced to $475; between Rio and Sc
vile, Spain, 10 S45u. ana between fer-
nambuco and Seville. for the ocean
crossing proper, to s410.
These rates, for 80-hour service are
only q third greater than first-class
passage on steamers which require IL
days for the passage.
Pilots Strike Averted.
Complete solution of problems and
labor conditions affecting the Nations
airline transport pilots is expected be-
fore the end of October. after many
weeks of distressing controversy. during
which pilots strikes or walk-outs were
put off three times through the inter-

PEOPLE who take life with an eager stride Just
naturally gravitate to Chrysler ownership Its split
second action appeals to hair-uigger minds.
It's not glttering generality to say that you can
get places quicker in Chrysler. It's provable
fact based on Chryslers lightning acoeleration,
Chrysler's fnger-touch gear-shihing, Chrysler's
nmble steering, Chryslers quick, positive braking,
and Chryslers cat-like ability to turn and twist
with the steadiness of low center of gravity.
It's more fun to drive a Chrysler, and it's
more practical to drive Chrysler .. because
a Chrysler is built to take life at high pressure

MODELS USED
BY BRIDE
Corporation Counsel, However,
Will Submit Them With
out Recommendation

Two proposed plans for liquor
control here will be presented to
the new Board Of District Com
missioners shortly after they are
sworn in, it was announced today
by Corporation Counsel William
w. Bride.
. Mr.. Bride, with his assistant,
Vernon E. West, has been at the
Bride summer home, Rehoboth
Beach, Del, for the past five
days preparing the liquor bills.
He will confer today with Major
Ernest w. Brown, superintendent
of police, in regard to the plans
and will submit them to the new
Commissioners within the next
day or two.
Will Study Bills
After the Commissioners have
had an opportunity to study the
bills, they will be sent to Senator
William H. King, chairman of the
Senate District Committee, and
Mrs. Mary T. Norton, chairman Of
the House District Committee.
Mr.. Bride refused to make pub
lie details of the two systems, but
said they are the New York sys-
tenn and the Quebec plan.
The New York system would
provide for licensing of dealers
who sell liquor and supervision of
the liquor traffic by a licensing
commission. Sale for consump-
ton on the premises would be
permitted.
The Quebec system provides for
sale of liquor through Govern
ment dispensaries. Under this
plan only package" sales are
allowed, for consumption other
than on the premises.
Both Are Modified
Mr.. Bride said both plans had
been modified to meet local con-
ditions.
Brides original plan had been
to submit three liquor control
schemes, but this was changed
when he learned that a third
plan, modelled after the Bratt con-
troll system, is being prepared by
Rufus S. Lusk, president of the
Crusaders.
The Bratt plan calls for set
ting up of a legal liquor mono
poly, under strict Government
supervision. Profits of stockhold-
ers in the business are limited
under this plan.
Bride reiterated previous asser-
tlons that he favors no particu-
lar plan and that the plans he
has drafted will be submitted
without recommendation by him.

ROVER POSITION
MAY Be FILLED
THIS WEEK
President Expected to Name
District Attorney Before
His Vacation

Appointment of the District
Commissioners by President Roose-
velt yesterday was looked upon
today as the forerunner of other
District appointments this week.
The President has expressed
the hope he will be ready to ap-
point a United States District At
torney for the District before he
leaves for Warm Springs, Ca,
Friday, and it is thought likely he
may name some one to fill the
vacancy in the Public Utilities
Commission created by the rCSig-
nation of Gen. Mason M. Patrick.
Surprise Selections
Predicting successful candidates
for these offices has become diff
ficult matter. since in every Dis
trict appointment made by the
President to date he has turned
his back on local Democratic lead
ers. However, they feel that in
subsequent appointments they will
be compensated.
Although the name of Rich
mond Keech. Peoples Counsel for
the Public Utilities Commission,
has been mentioned generally in
connection with the vacancy on
the commission, Keech has indi-
Gated he would prefer to remain
at his present post.
William Roberts, assistant cor
poration counsel and counsel for
the commission, also has been
suggested as possible successor
to General Patrick.
Many Candidates
A score of names have been
mentioned as possible successors
to Leo A. Rover in the United
States District Attorneys post
here.
Lucien Vandoren is conceded to
have a place in the front of the
list, as is Leslie Garnett. Others
who are believed to be included in
the list from which the President
will select are: Lansdale G. Seas

a hand in politics since women
