or approximately one-twentieth of all
accidental deaths.
Last year deaths resulting from au-
tomobiles reached an all-time record,
numbering $4,000, more than one
third of the 101 900 deaths attributed
to accidental causes.
In addition, during 1884. motor We
hicle accidents caused los 900 perma-
nent disabilities. 1,l50,000 temporary
disabilities. The total economic loss
to the Nation from these deaths and
injuries, together with the property
damage loss, is estimated at $780,
100000.
This toll OF deaths and injuries Is
equivalent to the combined population
of four of our Western States. namely.
Navada, Wyoming, Idaho and Mon
tana.
A continuation Of the upward trend
of 1884 (and reports indicate the pos
sibility), would mean a loss of more
than 10000 lives for 1885.

Text Of Editorial.
The following editorial appears in
t,ta Scc1 af
following a personal visit to the office
of The Star Safety Council by Miss
Eleanor A. Heller, editor Of the
Hatchet:
Joining the Administration and
other campus organizations, the
Hatchet heartily indorses the safety
drive campaign which is being spon-
sored by The Evening Star. The pri-
mary purpose Of the safety drive is TO
secure the cooperation of every mo-
torist in reducing the number Of fatal
tiles and accidents on the streets and
highways of the National Capital.
Among the nationally prominent
personages who have signed the safety
driving pledge promising to obey IL
cardinal rules for safe driving are
President Roosevelt. Secretary Of In

DRIVER Of TRUCK

Schedule Makes Fast
Driving Necessary.

& If the people of Washington under
stood the problems of the mail truck
driver, often abused as a source OF
traffic troubles, they would have a
more kindly feeling for the mail men.
In the opinion of Charles H. Sherrod,
Hyattsville, Md, a collector for the
Washington City Post Office.
In a letter to The Evening Star
Safety Council, Sherrod, inclosing his
signed safe-draving pledge card, says:
"I heartily indorse The Stars safety
campaign and fervently hope it will
result In somewhat better driving con-
ditions in the city.
II drive a collection truck for the
City Post Office and there are times
when I seriously consider giving it up
and going on relief in order to escape
the possibilities of a serious accident.
We are on such short schedules for
each trip that it's case of hurry,
hurry all the time; If we pause to draw
a long breath we are late-this causes
the good people of Washington to con-
slider us a bunch of reckless drivers.
but I assure you most of us would
prefer to take it easy if our schedules
permitted.
My tour of duty is from 2:30 to
IL pm, and in that time must
drive a. miles in the traffic, making
four trips. collecting from IS boxes and
apartment houses; this entails climb
ing out and into the truck 252 times
: on the route and four times at the
Office, making a total of 256 times per
day.
IF the citizens understood our
working conditions I'm sure they
would not feel too harshly toward us,
and they might even give us the right
of-way occasionally"
y. Sherrod's letter is one Of hundreds
received by The Star council dealing
with the traffic situation in Washing
ton. Excerpts from some of these
letters follow:

declared archly. Wont you sit
DOWN."
When he got home that night, Ina
was surprised at his noiseless en-
trance, radical departure from his
customary clatter on the stairs. She
came to meet him, her welcome in
her eyes, fair haired, adorable against
the soft background of the lampShade
behind her. Paul eyed her hungrily
but kissed her almost perfunctorily,
and crossing to a chair, sank into it
as though exhausted. She followed
and perching on the chair-arm, slid
an arm around his neck caressingly.
Tired, Honey?" she asked softly.
He shook his head, eyes fixed on
the rug. He put up a hand and
rubbed his forehead vigorously as if
seeking to alleviate inner constric-
| ton.
'Headache?" he inquired, solicit
ously.
Mo-" he said.
His mood was an infrequent one
to Ina. The grim line at the corner
Of his mouth sent a thrill of ap-
prehension through her, sensing in
his reticence the long-awaited sur
render to the cravings of conscience.
She steeled herself for the forgive
ness that she knew she would be
unable to deny.
Tell me what's wrong" she
prompted. Il know there's some
thing"
He sat as if craven in stone. He
seemed utterly detected. beaten.
please tell me, honey" she begged.
Cant help?"
His eyes, in a sudden side glance
at her, looked wild. He did not reply,
and in the strained silence that fol-
lowed the faint hum of the tiny
alarm clock on the radio was plainly
audible. Paul suddenely jerked con-
vulSively and, jumping up from the
chair, STROBE across the room and
stared out of a window at the dim
street below. His shoulders were
squared, erect.
Tell you," he repeated, harshly.
"Sure-I'n tell you-"
Ina made the mistake of following
him, of putting her arms around him
and drawing him close to her; of
smiling into his eyes with a radiance
that, had she realized it, was the
means of defeating bnr own purpose.
Don't be afraid, darling" she en-
couraged him softly. There's just
you and to consider. No one else.
Can't you see that-that nothing
could change my feeling for you.
Well just wipe it of clean and start
over again-and-and the next time
We won't make mistakes. I'm sure
of it. Why, honey" she laughed
ecstatically, Il could forgive you, even
if tiff it was Jessie Whitewood."
She paused expectantly Paul was
staring at her queerly. He heSitated,
wayered and was lost. He suddenly
caught her to him in a grip of iron.

There was a dance in Brussels the
night before Waterloo. And some
thing over hundred years later, on
rain-swept night in November, Mrs.
Paul Machanello gave a birthday
party for her husband.
The hour set was necessarily late,
and soon after midnight the invited
ones arrived in a body from the
Viennese, laughing, rain-pelted, a
noisw crew on the stairs. They were
received by the charming hostess and
her staff of "assisted-byS," Sue Train
and Carol, and the alacrity with which
they availed themselves of the entire
apartment, from rear hall to living
room, soon assured the affair Of sue

under cover of the general festivity.
He eyed her approach warily, and his

apparent.
"Didn't-Paul come with you?" she
queried. Her voice was a little in
credulous.
He shook his head. He'll be along, ="
he responded shortly, busying himself
with his overcoat.
'But-where is he?" persisted Ina.

his absence began to be noticeable.
