Raleigh, July 10--There is a direct
relationship between speed and au-
tom0)lie accidents, in that most ac-
cidents occur because one or the other
Of the motor-vehicles involved in
travelling too fast for existing road
conditions, records of the highway
safety division of the State Depart
ment of Revenue show. The accident
statistics also show that accidents are
more serious at higher speeds and less
serious at lower speeds.
"a majority of automobile accidents
are collision accidents, either with
other automobiles, with fixed objects
such as telephone poles, trees, banks
bridges and so forth or with pedes-
TRANS" Arthur Fulk director of the
highway safety division pointed out.
Just before any collision there is an
instant when if the drivers of the We
hicles could bring their cars to a stop,
there would be no accident But US
ually the speed is too great to permit
the drivers to stop in the time and
space available.
DRIVERS should hence realize the
distances required to bring their cars
to stop at various speeds. Even at
the comparatively slow speed of 20
miles an hour IAN average of So feet
is necessary to bring q car to a COM
plete stop, including the thinking
time necessary for a driver to start
applying his brakes. At so miles an
hour, 243 feet are required in which
tc bring o car to a stop, while at go
miles an hour $50 feet are required
for stopping, unless brakes are in
better than average condition.
The relation of speed to the serious
ness of accidents is shown by the re-
cords of accidents which indicate that
in accidents occurring at speed of
only 20 miles an hour, only one in 81
accidents is fatal, Fulk pointed out.
At speeds from 20 to 30 miles an hour
there is an average Of one injury and
one fatality in every 40 accidents. At
speeds Of from 80 to 80 miles an hour,
there is one death for every 35 in
juries while at speeds from 40 to 40
miles an hour there is one death for
every Is injuries. At speeds over 50
miles an hour one out of every eleven
injuries is fatal
There are times, however, when a
speed of 30 miles an hour is more
hazardous than so miles an hour, de-
pending on road conditions, Fulk said

THE Jerusalem beggar, crippled
from birth, had learned through forty
years Of experience the charitable ma
ture of religious folk. SO he chose the
place in the city to beg for aims
Peter and John looked particularly
promising to him. "Then Peter said,
Silver and gold have none; but such
as I have give I thee: in the name of
Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and
walk. And he took him by the right
hand, and lifted him up: and imme-
diately his feet and ankle bones re-
ceived strength. And he, leaping up,
stood, and walked, and entered with
them into the temple, walking and
leaping and praising Cod"
Peter Explains the Healing
The amaZement of the people gave
Peter opportunity to explain the heal
ing of the cripple. He wasted no time
in getting to Christ in his sermon.
Nor did he mince words regarding
their sin in denying the Holy One
and the Just and killing the Prince
of Life, whom God raised from the
dead. Repent we therefore and be
converted that your sins may be blot

With such a limited knowledge
of German it was necessary for me

as does every other American when
attempting to make his language

I yelled the words at the top OF

as much as possible. I wonder why
Americans do that? Even another
American couldn't understand Eng
lish words If they were yelled at
him and mispronounced as afro.

foreigners. For some reason all
Americans believe all foreigners are
deaf.
And I get mad at anyone who
doesn't speak English. Even a boot
black is not beyond my wrath when
he fails to answer in perfect Eng
lish. OF course, such anger doesn't
make sense, any more than it would
for a German visiting New York

The driver has to be a contor-
zionist to even get into the seat. He
has TO squirm his way in beneath a
steering wheel built to fit snugly in
his lap. He sits with a leg on
each side of the motor. Under one
foot is the accelerator. Outside the
cloze-fitting metal body is a brake
lever. The cowl is about chin high.
That's all" there is to it. The
driver has nothing to do but sit
in his seat and press down on his
right foot.
But pressing that foot down
that's the catch. 1t isn't like open
ing the throttle on an ordinary
motor car when the chief result is
a gentle purr and trees slip by q
bit faster. No. Things really be-
gin to happen. There's a quick roar
and thin spurts of blue flame whip
out the exhaust alongside the driv-
er's elbow. He feels as though some
unseen force plucked him up and
catapulted him throu space. He
isn't a driver anymore; he's pas
senger hanging on for dear life
with a bucking demon beneath him.
Now there's a turn ahead. The
driver takes a tentative tug at the
wheel and braces himself to swing
his car around it. Now he's in the
turn in a smother Of dust with
bedlam of noise. His car tugs and
slides sickeningly. Suddenly out OF
the fog another car appears direct
ly alongside He can see the blue
eXhause flames. Automatically he
guns" his car and it leaps forward
like a thoroughbred at the barrier
There's a crazy bump and now he's
out Of the turn. He thinks maybe
he ran over the other cars wheel
But he doesn't know He doesn't
look back.
That's midget racing. And maybe
that's why the drivers love the
game. A feeling Of mad power
almost but not quite out of con-
,rol with always the knowledge
lurking THIS turn may be the one
"a sudden jar, dizzy spinning and
then blacknees.
Midget racing is not child's play
The drivers do suffer injuries. But
It doesn't seem to cure them. Bob
Douthitt. who took the most serious
rap 50 far at the Midget Speedway
on the outskirts of Ell Centro, a
broken shoulder is back racing
again after a siX-Week layoff. He
was hurt when his car rolled over
three times. He didn't know a thing
for hours.
NO, it's funny thing" Bob ex-
planned, you don't think of any
thing much during a race. Never
occurs to me to think Of the time
I clipped my shoulder suppose
I'm unconsciously a bit more care
full on the turns, but I'm not gun
shy
But why do you keep it up?
You were injured once. You may
be again. What's the odds?"
We'll" Bob scratched his head,
its sorta fun and aw, what the
hell~ He went back to looking
over his machine.
