Safety Council Bases Pre-

Past Years.

AZ the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July "A field day for
accidents over the week end double
holiday was foreseen yesterday by
National Safety Council statistieians
who predicted $50 accidental deaths
for the period-exclusive of fireworks.
r. L. Forney of the council statis-
tical staff tabulated the expectable
deaths, based on previous accident
ratios, as follows:
From highway accidents-300. in
Guiding the persons who will suffer
injuries which later will prove to be
fatal.
From drownings-200 persons.
From falls-130 persons.
Forney said the second double
holiday period of the heavy driving
period would see probably 2O.0O0,0OO
automobiles on the highways. With
July, the years heaviest month for
accidental deaths. Forney said his
calculations indicated more people
would be killed during the two-day
celebration of American independence
than for any other 48 consecutive
hour period of the year.
He said no agency had made a
complete survey of deaths caused by
fireworks but the most reliable reports
for 1895 showed that 80 persons met
death in various types of fireworks
accidents and that 5000 were injured.

ROGER BABSON STRIKES
NOTE OF COMMON SENSE

Roger Babson, who predicts that 1881
will be the first year of real prosperity
since 1929. sends a warning through the
Rotarian Magazine to all business men
who are looking forward to another BUS

"Whereas depression hits everybody,
Babson says, prosperity is always selec-

sion YOU must work just as hard to
assure profits as in period OF depres.

Babson's advice, in short, is this:

Advertising and selling, he believes

his business should remember the great

ONE DAY WHICH SHOULD BE
AN INTERNATIONAL HOLIDAY

1t is the season of most widely OBJ
served holidays. 1t is the time of year
when we celebrate the birth of Jesus
Christ with Christmas, and the coming
of the new year with New Years Day.
Thanksgiving is not long past. There
are good reasons for all these holidays,
and for the others which are nationally
observed.
There is another day which might we'll
be observed throughout the world. 1t is
Dec. 81, two days after Christmas. 1t
is the anniversary of the birth OF man
who has saved millions upon millions of
lives. who has made the world better
place to live. and whose name has be-
come a byword of such common use that
its derivation is oftentimes forgotten.
1t is the birthday anniversary of Louis
Pasteur, French scientist.
Born Dec. 81, 1922, at o'clock in the
morning in a little village of eastern
France. Pasteur made his life one OF
service to humanity. He has ceased to
be regarded as Frenchman. He is
citizen of the world whom death did
not kill. His works will live as long as
humanity lives. His scientific accom-
plishments were many, but the one most
widely known has to do with the elimina-
ton of harmful germs from liquids.
1t is most widely known in this country
through pasteurization of milk.
There will never be any way of know
ing how many lives have been saved
bv his discovery In 1910, three years
before New York City made pasteuriza-
ton of milk compulsory, 1898 children
under five years of age died of diarrheal
diseases during the three m m
months of July, August and Septem-
her In 1885 the number of deaths from
similar causes were only 1876. Every
other great city in America has eXper-
fenced a similar drop in infant deaths
from the same causes.
1t is fitting, in this season OF annlver-
saries and holidays, that thought be
piven to one of the great men of all
time. Louis Pasteur.

AMONG THE BEST FRIENDS
OF THE COMMUNISTS

The mail this week brought an almost
inarticulate TRADE by an individual IN
San Francisco against two major press
associations and one great San Francis
co newspaper for what the writer be-
lieved was their friendship for the Com
munist cause. The reason for the TRADE
seemed to be in the fact that the press
associations and the newspaper had
quoted maritime strike leaders. II Sucn
news coverage brands a newspaper as
a Communist organ, then every news
paper in America is Communistic.
1t is the duty of a newspaper to give
the news. Failure to do so would be dis
honest to the readers The news is not
made up of one side of the question, but
of both.
No true American should be ignorant
of the fact that Communism exists in
this country. and is a menace to the very
government under which it operates.
1t should be known, too, that many OF
the labor disturbances in the United
States are guided from Moscow-testl-
mony Of labor agitators in our own
Imperial county superior court proved
this not many years ago. The threat OF
Communism should not be overlooked,
but there is only one way properly to
fight it. That way is through education.
Communists, holding up Russia as
their ideal, paint it as Utopia. Their
picture should not go unheeded. The
mist of oratory should be stripped from
ii. and its ugly, penurious framework
barred to public knowledge. The ignor-
ance which converts many TO Commu-
nism is dangerous, but it will not be
overcome by TRADES seeming to come
from an ignorance just as great.
The American public, regrettably but
truly, is inclined to sympathize with the
man or group made the object Of a vi
cious attack, even though the attack is
warranted. Such TRADES as that Of the
San Franciscan, despite the good inten-
tions behind them, make friends for the
very thing they attack.
Communism is best fought with knowl-

It is a little bit refreshing to find
a great state university in the mid
dlewest rowing about the firing OF
its president rather than its foot
ball coach.
Usually, there are only two sure
ways for a university to make the
front page. One is for it to have
an unusually successful football
season. The other is for it to have
an unusually unsuccessful one.
There is third, subsidiary way,
of course, which comes into play
when some friend of the peepul
arises in the state legislature to
announce that the campus is
haven of free love and that red
radicalism is being taught in the
classrooms But this is getting to
be old stuff, by now, and the read
ers are apt to be bored by it. Foot
ball is much surer.
So as we say, it is refreshing
because it is so different - to see
that the present storm at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin centers about
the conduct and personality of its
president Glenn Frank Wisconsin
had its football coach row a year
ago.
However unpleasant this row may
be for the university, for Mr.. Frank
or for the student body, there is no
doubt that it does serve a useful
purpose-and in a way that the
people who started it hardly in
tended.
It serves, that is, to center our
attention on the whole question OF
higher education in America.
What is a university for. and
what part does it play in our lives?
What is it supposed to do? Who
is supposed to run 1.-THE chosen
president, the regents who stand
behind the president, or the public
at large which stands behind the
regents?
Just how far may those who pay
the piper exercise the old privilege
of calling the tune? !,
These questions are fundamental
and vet we rarerly consider them.
The result is good deal OF foggy
thinking about the function and
the place Of a state university and
about the ins and outs OF pubic
education in general.
This foggy thinking is the bane
of all our educators, from the prln-
cipal of the neighborhood grammar
school to the president of the state
university.

DEAD STORAGE FOR GOLD
IUEau Gfrapf Vnurnan

There is nothing mysterious in the Treasury
scheme for sterilization Of the gold that comes
into this market either from domestic mines or
from foreign sources. All it involves is the bor-
rowing by the Treasury of amount equiVa-
lent to the cost of the gold. In this way the
gold does not enter the credit pool as repre-
Sented by the Federal Reserve System and the
commercial banks, and does not become avail
able for reserves of either. The effect OF the
operation is to build up dead storage OF gold
which can always be drawn upon should need
arise by retirement of the obligations issued to
create the pool, thus giving the market the
credit that it may need or the gold that it may
need for settlement of international transac-
tionS.
The interesting feature of the matter is that
il reflects the curious position into which we
have got ourselves in the attempt to combine
two objectiyes each of which to some extent is
opposed to the other. We have adopted policy
of low interest rates-which indeed would be the
natural result of the Superabundance OF credit
and idle capital. But we are also desrious OF
preventing what used in former times TO be the
inevitable result OF Such situauon, namely, d
price initiation in commodities and securities. As
a result we have undertaken SO to control the
supply Of credit as to equilibrate it at a nice
balance of both objective-low interest rates
and moderate prices. AS control measures We
have taken, first, the power TO increase the legal
reserve ratios if need be by 1907; second open
market powers under which the credit supply
can be directly increased or diminished to almost
any extent and now, third, the power to neu-
tralize additional gold supplies.
No such governmental control was ever be-
fore undertaken anywhere as a definite and con-
tnuing policy 1t is equivalent to partial ma
tionalizaton of commercial bank credit at least
in a negative sense Naturally it will call for
extremely expert and even delicate handling 1t
illustrates the shifts to which the nations
driven by the loss of the automatic checks sup
piled by the international gold standard, as it
used to work in pre-War days. l9when interest
rates adjusted the flow of credit and gold be-
tween markets.
And it also demonstrates the fact that when
a national government undertakes TO substitute
its control for the natural play Of forces it

NEW YORK, Dec. 29-Robert
Benchley cracks the critics credo,
"They shall not laugh!" by roaring
when his funny bone is tickled at a
premiere. There are times when he
almost stops the show. His most
recent explosion was over the mad
antics of Jimmy Durante. Several
lorgnettes lifted.
Then his memorable outburst for
w. C. Fields in the stage version
of Poppy" Critics also rarely ap-
plaud, but this rule too has been
kited. Notably by Alan Dale who
indulged in hearty hand clapping
over the brief bit by Barbara STAN

shot her to sudden stardom.
The critics do go in for sly grin
now and then. The late lamented
Percy Hammond could not keep a
straight face when. Bert Williams
put on his pantomime one-man
poker game. Even after seeing 1t
number of times. And Hammond
was the Death Watch's unsmiling
