clergymen. doctors, taxicab drivers
and teachers.
On many of the pledges are notes.
One man says he has driven 10000
miles without accident. Another has
driven since 1911 with perfect rec
ord. One voluntarily adds a thir-
teenth pledge-"To refrain from the
use of alcoholic liquors" Others re-
quest pedestrian control legislation.
With many of the pledges come let
ters of comment on the campaign;
suggestions for notifications of the
pledge; pleas for stricter police en-
forcement of certain provisions of the
traffic regulations; diatribes against
drunken drivers.
Accidents Made.
A retired Marine officer submits
with his pledge note, in which he
says: II have been driving an auto
mobile since 1914, and never have had
an accident. L firmly believe acci-
dents are made, not caused. When
car is kept in proper condition by pc
riodical inspections, there is no rea-
son for having accidents, if the drivers
are careful and on the alert for what
might be the cause of an accident.
1.-The Star is certainly contributing
more than its share to safe driving
on our highways"
The announcement that Secretary
of Commerce Roper had Endorsed The
Star safety campaign and led the
organization of a departmental safety
council to cooperate in the movement
was front-page news for the Hartford
Times, Hartford, Conn.,, which is con-
ducting its own automobile safety
campaign. The Hartford campaign is
bearing fruit in the form of reductions
in street and highway accident and
death totals. The local campaign has
not yet been in progress long enough
for detailed analysis to be Of value,
traffic officials hold.

BRITISH AID EGYPT
IN BUYING PLANES
100000 Credit Advanced.
Troops Reinforcing
Malta Garrison.
BY the Associated Press.

SJ IAO hooVSAubCu ElCoe.
LONDON, September IA Reuters
(British) News Agency dispatch from
Cairo said today the Council of Min
listers had approved credit of 100000
(about $200,0OO) for purchase in Eng
land of new airplanes for the Egyptian
Army air force.
Meanwhile high source disclosed
that Great Britain is rushing addi-
tienal troops to reinforce its garrisons
at Malta, strategic post in the Mediter-
ranean.
Malta and the surrounding Mediter-
ranean area have already been the
scene Of extraordinary activity.
The Mediterranean fleet, aug
mented by units from the home fleet,
has already strung out in semi
circle around Suez, gateway to East
Africa, in what was officially described
as a normal Summer cruise"
The citizenry of Malta has been
circularized with precautionary in
structions against air raids and gas
attacks
A call has been issued for volun-
teers for so-called passive defense
forces" for relief, gas and decon-
tamination work.
A boom defenSe-steeI cables SuS-
pended across floats similar to those
used extensively in British ports dur
ing the World War-has been ordered
swung across the mouth of the Malta
harbor
Anti-aircraft Guns Placed.
Reports from the island said a
start has already been made on
stringing of barbed wire entangle-
ments and anti-aircraft guns have
been assembled.
The troop movements came after
yesterdays meeting of defense minis
ters, the third in less than a month,
which was accompanied by unofficial
and unconfirmed reports that ships
were loading at various ports with
airplanes and munitions for dispatch
to the Mediterranean.
For the second time in a month
rumors circulated in London that
army reserves have been called up,
but the reports were officially denied
Failure of the League of Nations
in the present crisis will force Brit
ain and other member countries to
reconsider the whole League set-up,
according to authoritative opinion.
This opinion was evoked by Sir
Samuel Hoare's address to the League
Assembly yesterday, but observers
were careful to point out it is too
early to talk of Great Britain leav-
ing the League or guessing what will
result.
Opinion Behind League.
1t was explained in informed quar-
ters that an immense public opinion
has been built up in Great Britain
since the war in favor of the League
as buffer between the world and
war. If this belief is betrayed through
League failure, it was said in these
circles, there will be a powerful re-
versal of public opinion which will
force the reconsideration of what the
future of the League is to be.
The British press was virtually
unanimous in its support of the policy
laid down by the foreign secretary.

briefly the reasons for one of
these regulations and why it
should be observed.
2. DRIVE ON RIGHT
OF HIGHWAY.
The National Uniform Code
provides that all vehicles must
drive to the right and pass on
the left. This is a safety meas
ure, as practically all drivers
are familiar with this regula-
ton and are only looking out
for cars that pass them on the
left side. Slow-moving vehicles,
especially trucks, should keep
as far to the right as possible,
as their size makes it difficult
for other vehicles to pass them,
in any event.

The largest income for any year
since 1880 was predicted for the Ma

reau of Agricultural Economies. In

for the agriculturalists was nearly
S700,000, 900 in A. A. A. benefit pay
ments to bring the total for this
year to about 700,000,000.
After reaching a peak of S10,479,-
100000 in 1929, cash farm income
slipped to S8,451 100000 in 1880, S.

The figure for last year was So
367 ,000, 900, and for 1888 S5,117, ,000,-
900. Most Of the increase this year
was attributed to a considerable rise
in cash income from the sale of
live stock.
During the first six months of 1885,
bureau records showed, cash income
from farm marketings In the United
States totaled S2,67O,0O0,OOO COM

period of 1884.
Income from live stock and live
stock products was reported to total

than s300,00O,000 over the first six
months of 1884. Rental and benefit
