MISPLACED SPEED
HELD CRASH CAUSE
Mechanical and Road Faults
Held Least important
by Roads Bureau

BY the Associated Press.
The Public Roads Bureau yesterday
listed "too much speed in the wrong
piAce," as the most important single
cause of automobile accidents
such accidents, it said, seldom re-
suit from mechanical failures or from
road defects. The driver is usually re-
Sponsible and 'he can reduce the num-
Der of accidents, which last year re-
suited in the death of $4,000 persons" 4"
The bureau called attention to a
pamphlet by William G. Elliot, Sd, one
of its economists. putting questions to
the motorist as to his qualifications
for driving. ~-
Temper One Factor.
Are you fitted for driving as shown
by tests?" it asked Can you keep an
even temper or do you become irri-
tated? Do you get ratified? Are you
able to control that occasional i'm
pulse to act recklessly? Do you know
what the law requires of you?"
The pamphlet also listed these re-
sponslbilities as devolving upon the
driver:
Both you and your car must be
properly equipped and ready for the
road. Inspect car regularly. especially
brakes and steering gear. Discard
worn tires. Keep lights properly ad-
justed, so they won't glare and blind
other drivers"
Rules of Road Given.
AS rules of the road, 1t gave:
Drive to the right when meeting
vehicles or where approaching vehicles
may be hidden from view. Drive to
the left in passing vehicles from be-
hind Do not pass vehicles on crest
of hill or on a curve-you may find
your road blocked by an approaching
vehicle. Do not reduce your speed or
change direction suddenly without
signalling. Keep safe clear stopping
distance ahead of you.

SILIC0SIS PREVENTION
UP TO ENGINEERS
Cornell Professor Says Devices
Are Being Used to Prevent
Floating of Dust.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February s.-Engi-
neers must play the largest role in
attempts to prevent the lung disease
silicosis, DR.. Edgar Mayer. assistant
professor of clinical medicines at Cor
nell Medical Schsol, said in a radio
address tonight.
Numerous types of devices and
methods have been and are being used
to prevent the accumulation of dust
in the air in the various hazardous
occupations" he said.
Suction systems to remove dusty
air and suction systems attached to
rock drills to collect the dust before
it gets into the air are employed.
The use of masks by the workers
has been advocated. Improvement Of
the ventilation system by having q
free flow of air cuts down the number
of floating particles. In some plants
the walls are wetted to cause dust to
settle more readily"

CURB ON SPENDING
DECLARED Forced
U. S. Chamber Sees Agency
Policy as Indicating
End of "Priming."
BY CARLISLE BARGERON.

BY CAhLASLE bAhuEhON.
With speculation continuing over
the reason President Roosevelt few
days ago Cancelled credit authorize
tfons of three of his lending agencies
totaling $1,000 900, the United
States Chamber of Commerce in its
periodical business review, made pub
lie yesterday, says it was because the
Treasury is having trouble with its
forthcoming huge financing program.
Withdrawal of the authorizations Is
at least gesture" towards tapering
off by the administration in its spend
ing program, the chamber says, and
"it does arouse the hope that the
pump -priming policy may be draw
ing to an end"
'Uppermost in the minds of Treas
ury officials" says the chamber, sis
the fact that within the next II
months it will be necessary to raise
some II billion dollars in new and
old Government finance. Their worry
is to preserve the Governments
credit"
The report says: "The increasing
its fiscal outlook. as reflected in con-
ferences now under way. holds the
spotlight in Washington"
Unusual importance is attached to
the chambers utterance because of its
sources of information as to what Is
really going on. 1t gives its version
Of the reason for the withdrawal of
cto 1ov,t nf
fact. The action has been variously
interpreted by observers, although Mr..
Roosevelt at the press conference at
which he announced it, warned against
attaching any particular significance
to the matter. His tendency to pass
over the matter lightly had the effect,
however, of increasing the speculation.
He was pressed by newspaper men
at the time as to whether his action
meant the lending of the emergency"
Some observers saw in it Shrewd
move on Mr.. Roosevelt's part to ap-
peal to the conservatives. and move
that involved. as Mr.. Roosevelt him.
self pointed out, only bookkeeping
transaction inasmuch as the agencies
from which the authorizations were
withdrawn did not plan to spend the
money anyway.
sOne widely published Interpretation
Of Mr.. Roosevelt's action was that it
was intended to signalize the with
drawal of the Government from the
money-lending field. The fact that
the agencies affected are the Home
Owners Loan Corp, the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corp. and the Commodity
Credit Corp. was cited in support of
this view 1t is a fact that those who
are insisting that private agencies can
now carry on the financing for home
building have the upper hand in the
Presidents councils at present. In
this connection there is the strong i'm
preston among observers that Prof.
Rexford G. Tugwell's resettlement
activities will be sharply curtailed. A
large slice of the funds previously al
located to him are expected to be re-
allocated to the w. P. A., whose funds
will run out in April.

u'Why, it won't get $50 votes. Most

got that 80 of them wouldn't vote for

Roosevelt in all probability would have
the tax measure ready for Congress by

had not definitely said there would be
no additional levies. these same spokes-
men asserted there was basis for the
belief he was delaying final decision
Just in case the March Is income re-
turns should not prove as large as
expected.
In financial circles, 1t was said that
corporation taxes-the biggest single
source of revenue-should show q
''substantial' increase over last year.
The Commerce Department, 1t was
recalled, has reported that many big
corporations were "out Of the red"

These same circles also contended
10 was only logical for the President
to hold up a decision on new taxes and
his request for a new relief appropria-

the basis of the first quarterly returns
fairly accurate estimates could be
made of receipts for the remainder of
the year.

Dawes as vice presidential nominee
with Coolidge after Frank o. Lowden
Of Illinois had refused the nomination.
Dawes elected not to sit in the cabi-
net with President Coolidge and their
relations never we're very close.
All of which leads up to the 1928
convention and the famous statement
of Mr.. Coolidge in the Summer of 1927
that Il do not choose to run for Presi-
dent in 1928"
Curtis, after talk many months
later with Coolidge aboard the presi-
Dental yacht Mayfiower, announced
his candidacy for the Republican pres
idential nomination. He appeared
convinced that Mr.. Coolidge approved
of his running. He was the first to
announce.
Occasionally in the turbulent fight
preceding the 1928 convention Curtis
would be asked by Mr.. Coolidge how
Dawes was doing. Dawes was not an
avowed candidate, but he was very
close to the group fighting Herbert
Hoover and was considered always a
very likely possibility.
Named for Vice President.
Hoover was nominated. Curtis was
named for Vice President. The night
before Hoover was nominated Curtis
was asked about reports that he would
be the vice presidential nominee.
With great emphasis Curtis as
serted that this was an effort to get
him out of the presidential race and
that he had refused to talk with those
mentioning him for Vice President.
He stood his ground and ran second
to Hoover on the nominating ballot.
Then nominated Vice President.
Curtis. the good party man, buried his
hatchet with Hoover, and served m-
der him Loyalty for four years.
Curtis had conviction about
whether Mr.. Coolidge wished and ex-
pected to be renominated In 1928,
reached after long deliberation. but
he never expressed that conviction for
