New York, N. Y.--An automo- bile accident death rate for boys from i to IA years old, which is two and one-half times greater than that for girls is held by sta- tisticians of the Metropolitan Life Instance company to illustrate the greater venturesomeness of the male sex. The same trait is also reflected in the larger number of deaths of boys which result from collisions between automobiles coli liding and bicycles, sleds, etc. Yet despite this situation, the one bright spot in an otherwise dismal picture of the steadily mounting motor vehicle mortality rate is the sizable decline in the automobile accident rate in childhood.
 While the automobile death rate is decreasing for children, between 1 and 14 years, the insurance conl- pany statisticians report that this death rate is increasing among adults, particularly among women occupants of automobiles. As q basis for their figures, they take the deaths recorded among -he millions of industrial policyholders insured by the company.
 In 1894, according to this record lthe automobile accident death rate among boys was 1914 per 100000 and among girls 7.5 per 100000 Approximately three-fourths of the ad 1.Yt1 automobiles striking pedestrians However, these figures for auto mobile deaths in 1854 show a decline of 21.5 per cent among boys and 33.3 per cent among girls since 1925. Credit foi this decline is given by the Metro politan statisticians to the value oi safety education and applied safety work, to public playgrounds and tc other methods employed to sale guard children against the stree' hazards to which they are exposed
 The increase in the death oi children in collisions between au' tomobiles for 1884 over 1925 among both boys and girls, is at tributed to the increasing owner ship and use of cars for family transportation
 The automobile accident deatt rate for males. between l5 and ~ years, was 46.O per 100000 in 1884 This was more than three and one half times the rate of l3.O pei 100000 for females. More thai 40 per cent of the deaths In eacf sex was caused by automobilel striking pedestrians and the deati rate for these casualties was 2O.' per 100000 for males. which wa almost four times the rate Of e.' for females.
 Collisions between vehicles ac counted for almost 90 per cent o tho deaths in each sex. The deatf rate for innios was tg.S per 100, GOO, or more than three times th' feniuis rate of 3.e. Collisions be tween automobiles alone sec0unt Cd for 7s per cent of tho deaths "l men and for sb per cent Of th' denfhs Of w0lnefI which rosuiies from vohleuSars collisions.

OF COURSE, it was inevitable that someone would say this is communism-a scheme to change the government when war starts. Of course, that is too utterly stu- pid. In the last year a petition was presented to the congress which read as follows:
 "We, the undersigned teach CTS of political economy, public finance and political science in American universities and col leges, respectfully urge upon congress to adopt the policy of taxation rather than that of bond issue as the principal : means of financing the expen- ditures of our own country in the war. The taxation policy is practica ble. It will prevent the
 price imitation which must re- suit from large bond issues. It
 is demanded by social justice. It will increasethe efficiency of the nation in the conduct of the war"
 Just lot of red professors Well, the group was headed by Dr o. M. w. Sprague or Harvard university who is regarded as one of the country's leading conserva- tive economists.
 Here is another paragraph from some "reds":
 War is a relic of barbarism. It is justifiable only as means of defense. In the event of war in which the man-power of the nation is drafted, all other re- sources should also be drafted. This will lead to discourage war by depriving it of profits" That's from the democratic na- tional platform of 1924. From the last war we have left a debt of SIXTEEN BILLION | DOLLARS. For this depression we will have piled on another EIGHTEEN BILLION DOLLARS by 1936. Are we prepared to venture into another war and to pile on top of this staggering mountain of debt still higher one of forty or fifty billion flor the next war will be the costliest of all if we do not restrain the prof iteers.

and labor and profit factors 60 hopelessly that the government was powerless.
 Congressman McSwain and MT Baruch hope to prevent a repeti- ton of this by putting q ceiling over all prices when the war starts = prohibiting any prices from rising at all unless speci-a fically permitted by the govern. ment thus doing away with price control.
 However, the Nye bill propo-. nents think there is but one way to meet this problem. It is to begin at the beginning-to pre- vent the imitation by avoiding the thing that creates the inf1ation, This can be done by taxation severe taxation. Drastic! Yes, but war is a terrible thing. Drastici Yes, but not as drastic as knock ing on mans door and summon ing him to the trenches to be killed or used up.

FARM HOME PLANS
 PROGRESS NICELY
Building Manufacturers In= vited to Cooperate in
 New Movement

Washington, D. C., April 2S- Manufacturers of building mater ials and hom and farm equipment eligible for financing under the modernization credit plan of the Federal Housing Administration are being invited to cooperate in the better farm home program now being conducted throughout the country under supervision of the administration. s% This program is being carried forward in each state under a spe- cial state committee on which IS represented practically every or ganization directly interested in rural progress. Special Farm Building Days" and Farm linn provement Days" have been held or are scheduled for the immediate future in hundreds of counties. The purpose of the program is to bring directly to the attention of each of the 6,000,000 farm families the benefits o fmodernizing the farm home and the farm itself.
 Through every channel the inn portance of making needed i'm provements now, and the assist ance available through the Federal Housing Program, is being brought to the attention of farm families. the letter to manufacturers states. Farmers are now displaying re- newed interest in the repair and maintenance of their long neglected properties.
 "The farm income for 1884 to- tailed approximately six billion dol lars, which was 16 per cent higher than the preceding year. A further increase is probable for 1885" It was stated by administration officials that practically every farm family in the United States has re- ceived the illustrated booklet "Open This Door to Farm Proper ty Improvement" or a leaflet on the same subject.

off some of these charges. But she still overs s32,000, 1000. How long before that century old career of war and conquest will be paid for?
 At the end of the Great War the United States owed over TWENTY-FIVE BILLION DOL LARS. With the exception of d small sum-perhaps two or three hundred millions, it was all owed for three wars-the Civil War, the Spanish-American War and the Great War.
 This is the history of nearly every government. From 1T6S to 1900-a period of 132 years Great Britain had borroy only about $S0,000,O00 in peaoB times. The balance of her vast debt was the fruit of wars.
 Now if you want to know what mainly produces those dangerous storms and currents, referred to in the last article, in our economic life during wars-and after them there is the answer. War bor- rowing.

But that debt was still due in 1914 when the Great War broke out over Europe. Of course, in appearance, it was paid, but merely by substituting new bonds for old.
 In those 142 years England has fought many more wars-against Napoleon, against America in 1S12 against Russia, against the Boers. In the long years comparative peace from 1915 to 1855 and then Tn the 41 years following the Russian war, England kept paying off yearly large sums on those debts But the best she could do was to settle her bills for old wars from 176S-over 15O years before-down to 1793. In other words in 1914 about the last war she had paid for was the American Revolution. In 1914 she owed $3 0O0, 00 000-amost every penny Of
