WELL PLEASED

Rome. July 12-(UP)-For the
first time in several weeks the
Giornale D'Italia's editorials today
struck an optimistic note, emphas-
izing the conciliatory tone--to-
wards Italy-of Sir Samuel Hoare's
speech to the British commons on
the Abyssinia crisis.
1t was plain that Hoare's refer

had pleased the Italian leaders.
Hoare's speech was described as
tranquil. serene and cautious"
Its moderate tone, even its corr

said. was especially welcome al
though he abstaincd from defining
the next moves TO be undertaken
by British interests.

VOTING LISTS TO
BE INCREASED
BY $500 NAMES
Both Major Parties Are
Working Hard to Get
in New Voters

Indications at the present time
are that the voting lists that will
be in effect when the fall election
takes place will be approximately
$500 greater than it was when
the polling occurred in the state
election of last November. Regis
trars of Voters Michael Slavin and
Albert Faller to-day had in their
hands over 1900 applications from
persons seeking to be enrolled on
the voting list.
Both Parties Working
In view of the fact that new
voters will not be sworn in until
September the large number of
applications now on hand shows
that both major parties are work
ing silently and effectively in their
respective drives to add to their
strength in anticipation of the
coming municipal election.
1t is also believed that the
communist and socialist parties
have workers quite active this year
getting new applications. This
is believed to have much to do
with the large number of new
names already in the hands Of the
just Turned 81.
Most of those whose names are
now in the hands of registrars
have just turned 81 years of age or
else are in their early ''twenties''.
Thorough combing of the city;
however, has also brought to light
names of persons who have neg
lected to be made voters for many,
many years.
With the coming city election
expected to be one of the most
holly fought ones in years, it is
expected that by theh time for
making" new electors arrives the
registrars will have approximately
$500 applications in their hands
Taking out for Implications, and
SO forth, it is expected on the
basis of present figures that about
1880 new electors will be sworl
in by September.

IHUEY LONG TRIES
ANOTHER COUP
Resignation of Mayor Is
Asked By Democratic
Leaders.Of City

New Orleans, La, July 12- (UP)
"A resolution asking the resigna-
ton of Mayor 7. Semmes Walmsley
was presented at a regular demo-
cratic caucus today by a commit
tee representing leaders of every
ward in the city.
The action constituted a major
coup in Sen. Huey P. Longs plan
to gain complete governmental
control of the city. 1t means the
progressive disintegration of New
Orleans erstwhile little Tammany.
Walmsley, last important holdout
against the Long regime, headed in
opposition to the Kingfish.
Stripped of power, the mayor
had only his title and office furni-
ture, just as Long had predicted.
Nevertheless, Walmsley insisted
he would not resign.

ELIMINATING THE FIRE-BUG

One of the more encouraging phases of fire
ing to a committee report from the National Board
OF Fire Underwriters covering the fiscal year that
closed on April 80, 1895, conditions now are better
tina nat any time since the committee was started.
incendiarism is at a relatively low ebb and is furth-
er declining. Investigators and prosecutions are
being made more efficiently, and with better results.
Weak and Intellectual arson laws have been cor
rected and strengthened. Pubic officials especially
prosecuting attorneys, are showing themelves to be
much more determined than in the past to stamp
out the ~fire-bug.
The statistics tell the story. During the wear.
arrests for arson were the lowest in any year since
1928, while the rate Of conviction was high. Con
vlctions were obtained in n per cent Of the cases
tried as against 10 per cent in the year before. A
Number Of these convictions were of mem
bers OF organized arson gangs which had caused
hundreds of thousand of dollars of property loss
throughout the country.
Much Of the credit must 90 to the fire insur-
ance industry which has worked increasingly
against the incendiarist 1t has prepared model
law, which have been widely adopted. 1t has sent
out trained Investigators to aid local officials. And
1t has carried questionable fireloss cases to ccart. and
helped to uncover evidence of arson that might
otherwise have never been unearthed.
The arsonist, who works in the dark. has been
called, with justice, the most depicable Of criminals.
He deserves no mercy.

YOUR LIFE AT STAKE

During 1884, accidents Of all kinds caused 101,
900 deaths-the highest total ON record-in addition
to almost 10000, 900 %no-fatal injuries.
The total cost Of those accidents, including
wage loss, medical expense and property damage
amounted to So, 500, 100000.
Accidents are responsible for more deaths to
persons between the ages of five and nineteen than
any other cause. Among persons of all ages only
three diseases result in more deaths than do acct
dents.
Thee are facts that should make the public
pause think and remember The waste of accidents,
both in lives and materials, is complete and irrevoc-
able. 1t cannot be re paired. And it is almost en-
tirely unnecessary.
Of all forms of accidents, those caused by the
automobile are Of course the most serious. Between
1913 and 1884 motor vehicle deaths increased from
1927 to 5000 a year, while other kinds Of accidents
dropped from 1928 to 60, 1000. That is largely due
to the increased number Of cars in use-but the fact
remains that at present motor accidents per thous-
and gallons of gasoline conumed, are on the rise.
The reckless driver is becoming more reckless-the
incompetent driver is becoming still more Of a men
ace to all who use the streets and highways. The
automobile accident record is in striking contrast to
that Of industry, which has made magnificent prog
ress in reducing both the severity and frequency Of
accidents in even the mast hazardous factory opera
lions, -
The war on accidents is every citizens war,
and every citizen should Join the colors., Thous-
ands of lives, to say nothing of billions of dollars,
are at stake-and your life and your dollars are
among them.
