Only the rates of death per ac-

less than the average of all automo-

But the rate of death per accident
which occurred between street in

Use Fulghum Oats
For Spring Hay

Recent freezes having played
havoc with small grain and
hav corn planted last fall, many
dairymen and others have been
teeking information about crops
that may be planted now and will
produce an early crop u hay this
spring.
John A. Arey, dairv extension
specialist at State College, recon-
mends Fulghum oats for this pur-
pose. However, the oats must be
heavily seeded where the crop is ro|
be cut for hay. At least three BUSH
els of seed must be used per acre.
eff Fulghum oats are planted as
soon as the soil will permit, they
will make a larger yield of spring
hay than any other crop that may
be planted at this time," says Mr..
Arey. TN tests made at the Upper
Coastal Plain branch near Rocky
Mount, this variety of oats produc-
I'd 2,4oo pounds of hay per acre."
Mr.. Arey also points out that
where the crops planted last fall
we're we'll fortified, it may not be
ecessary to add further fertilizer
'nder the oats at planting. How
yer, an application of about 100
,ounds of nitrate of soda or some
>ther quickly available nitrogen
material will be highly beneficial
Apply the nitrate when the oat
| plants are from four to six inches
thigh.
Planting a crop Of spring oats
will aid dairymen over tight
period when hay and forage Of all
kinds will be scarce, Mr.. Arey says.

Insurance Company.

Insurance Company.
At rural intersections the death
rate per accident exceeded the av-
erage for all accidents combined
by nearly 20 per cent, and wa IA
per cent greater than the death rate
per accident at street intersections.
The higher speeds which prevail on
highways account for this differ
ence.
On highways the rate of death
per accident was 11S per cent
greater than the average for all &C
cidents combined and was 167 per
cent greater than the death rate
per accident between street inter.
sections. Just another example of
the high price of TOO much speed.
On curves the death rate per ac-
cident was 1875 per cent grelter
than the average for all accidents
combined. Yet drivers continue
to try to pass on curves. At rail-
road crossings the death rate per
accident was nearly 700 per cent
worse than the average for all ac-
cidents combined. This expert
ence is regarded as another tribute
to the pagan of haste, or too much
speed for time and place.
Between street intersections and
at street intersections $4,000 ac-
cident last year resulted in 1880
deaths. Between rural intersec-
tions and on highways 139,SSO ac-
cidents resulted in l1,13o deaths.
The rate of death per accident on
the highways was 219 per cent
greater than on city streets. Speed
does not pay, is the fact brought
out by such figures on the auto
mobile accident situation in this
country last year.

PARK COMMISSION
HEARS PLAY PLEAS
Northeast Delegation Ask
Sherwood Square Purchase.
Session Ends Today.

The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission was expected to
conclude today a three-day session.
during which may Federal as well as
municipal projects have been taken
under consideration.
After a joint session with the Fine
Arts Commission and members of the
Treasury Board of Architectural Con-
sultants, the commission met yesterday
afternoon to consider several play
ground and recreational developments.
A committee of the Northeast Play
ground Association urged immediate
acquisition of the rest of Sherwood
Square. the Government having paid
100000 for part of it for playground
purposes.
While the commission was sympa-
thetic toward the proposal, members
pointed out that funds are not now
available to continue development of
the site.
Plans for improving and grading the
grounds Of the Takoma Recreation
Center, between Third and Fifth streets
approved by the commission. This
large project is being developed with
Public Works funds. The swimming
pools and field house will be reproduc-
tions of those at the Mckinley High.
Differences of opinion arose between
the Planning Commission and the Fine
Arts Commission yesterday as to where
future Federal building development
should center. The Planning Commits
sion continues to support selection of
areas between Constitution avenue and
E street around the intersection of New
York avenue and Virginia avenue, where
much land is already owned by the
Government. The Fine Arts Commis-
sion is supporting the proposal to de-
velop the area west of Lafayette Square
so as to fit in with the White House
and on Pennsylvania avenue west to
Rock Greek Parkway. No decisions were
reached yesterday.

Bill Duffy said today, there will be no
such display. 1t seems that ambasSa-
dors have to be very careful. even if
they are prizehghters, and His Excel
lency Primo the First does not crave to
have doings with gentleman seen
training in night clubs and doing his
footWork in tap dance. Besides there
are some questions of time and place
and eligibility and money which need
more than silken phrase to unsnarl
them.
Jealous or Contemptuous.
1t may be, Of course, that Primo is
either very jealous Of Baer or con-
temptuous of him on account of his
song and dance fame. If Max is a
sensation and a delight to the hearts of
ladies when he trips around the stage,
Primo would bring down the house in
more ways than one could he set his
gargantuan dogs dancing. They are
such remarkable affairs that many
sports writer's meeting him for the first
time have gone through an entire inter
view, asking intimate questions about
his heart and his head and his right
and left, without once taking their ewes
OF his feet. They have gone back and
turned out powerful paragraphs about
his size, and many of them were very
tall stories indeed, because the boys
thought the man Was as biz as he
started out to be.
Another thing some of them have
missed because Primo answers their
questions in language that may be
diplomatic but is not very understand
able, is the fact he has something
more than muscle above his shoulders
The first interviewers who greeted
Primo when he landed over here several
years ago thought it must be a very
stupid fighter who did not pay any
more attention to his growing, or try
to stop it or keep it under control
They may have been right then. but
Primo doesn't collect a roomful of re-
porters to laugh at him now He thinks
some of their questions dull enough tc
be funny, and he keeps up his share
Of the laughter.
And that, incidentally, is the way he
promises to win at Miami Loughrar
can't hurt him, the big fellow says. ano
he has learned so much boxing of late
the Italian is beginning to believe he
can take care of that end of it too

covered many families living in base

In many cases, they live four and five

GOING CONCERN VALUE
EXPLAINED BY EXPERT
Nash Tells Commission Cost of At
taching Customer Is Part
of Valuation.

The less efficiently a company is
managed, the greater the cost of at
taching customers and therefore the
greater the going concern value, Luther
r. Nash, an expert on public utility
economics, told the Public Utilities
Commission today at valuation hear
ings Of the washington 4 Georgetown
Gas Light Cos.
Part of Nash's estimate of $4,000 900
for going concern value was made up
of the cost Of attaching new customers.
Under crosS-examination by Assistant
Corporation Counsel William A. Roberts,
he admitted inefficient management
might send these costs up and thereby
result in an increase in valuation.
He also said If a company were 30
efficient 1t attached new customers
without any cost whatsoever, there
would be no going concern value.

A quick man with bon mot since
