OSWALT TAKES
AIR TO HELP
SAFE DRIVING

Frank OsWalt, captain of the
county highway patrol, spoke over
radio station KXO from 1890 to
12:45 O'Clock this afternoon in the
interests of the safety campaign
being advocated throughout the
state. An increase in accidents
and deaths throughout the state
in the first three months of the
present year has led state officials
to inaugurate this campaign.
"'There is no noticeable increase
in traffic this year over last year,
Oswalt said in his address, "but
there is decided tendency to ig-
more the rights of other motorists
and pedestrians having a lawful
use OF the highways
After quoting figures relative to
the number of accidents which
have occurred in the state so fa1
this year to raise the number OF
fatalities, OSWalt called upon his
listeners to adopt a policy of safe
and sane driving in order to reduce
this number.
"Let us begin today to help
eliminate some of the causes lead
ing to these accidents,' he said
"First, we will promise ourselves
and stand by it, that we are going
to drive our cars in a safe and
sane manner. In order to do this
check up on your brakes, lights,
steering gear assembly and tires
If every motorist in the state does
this we can show 100 per cent
decrease in accidents and fatalities
in the next 80 days. -

lightest in ten years, and other
markets were correspondingly Gull.
Contrary to usual procedure, how
ever, prices moved in a narrow
range. Ordinarily in dull and un-
certain market there is a decline.
Sales today totaled 0,000 shares,
the lighteSt since June 2, 1924, when
the total was 100000 shares. Sales in
the final hour were 10000 shares
or about one-third of the days
trading. On Friday, the previous full
session, sales were Oil, 900 shares.
Curb sales were $4,000 shares,
against 248,000 shares on Friday.
The Dow Jones preliminary clos
ing averages showed: industrial,
95.76, up 0.63; railroad 43.77, up
0.O7; utility 1888, up OILS.
Wall Street was awaiting the Pre-
sident'S message on silver, expected
tomorrow. In the hope it would be
constructive for silver metal, trad
ers bid up the silver issues to more
than points and they provided the
only item of interest in the entire
lot. Homestake mining shot up more
than 9 points at the opening and
then lapSed into lethargy Most of
the industrial leaders made small
gains. Chemicals rose with Du Pont.
Rails did nothing. Mercantile issues
and motors were steady.
News of market Importance was
