Better Lighting
OF Streets Cuts
Accidents, Crime
Every Dollar Spent Said
to Save So in Public
Cost of These

Newspaper reports indicate that
the automobile is becoming a
greater Fourth of July hazard
than fire works. The accidents and
fatalities over the recent week
end holiday were by far greater
in number due to automobile &C
cidents than every other cause.
The picture "And Sudden Death, !"
which is to be shown at local
theater, is timely lesson to the
public on safe driving depicted
through an exciting and romantic
story. The hazards of automobile
driving are something about which
every citizen should be concerned.
The Travellers Insurance COM
pany made a survey of PIT cities
and found that four-ffths of all
traffic is in the daytime and only
one-ffth at night, yet At per cent
of the automobile accidents occur
red at nighttime. 1T is estimated
that at least 50 per cent of the
casualties could have been pre-
vented by adequate illumination.
In another survey covering 46
cities having an aggregate pop
ulation of over twenty-five mil
lion people it was found that the
economic loss in automobile acct
dents during the winter over the
summer months when traffic is
less and darkness comes earlier
was over thirty-one million, or
S1.25 per capita. 1t is appalling

"YOu Are in Helvig's to Sell
Not to Marry" Then one day,
quite suddenly, Helena was called
INTO Miss Landes' office. Trem-
bling, she had taken the elevator
to the fifth floor and walked down
the spotlcss hallway to the door
marked Personal Manager.
Good morning, Helena" Miss
iLandes had said, removing her
glasses. Characteristically, she had
come to the point at once. "Hel-
ena, do you know anything about
spOrts?"
"Why, l - I'm afraid not, "
Helena had faltercd.
Surely you must know some
thing about thcm," Miss Landes
urged. AT least you know what
smart woman should wear for
swimming and tennis and" she
waved her hand vaguely, "well,
badminton?"
"Y-yes, | think l dc"
Miss Landes replaced her spec
tacles. Good! And before fall
you can learn something about
the winter sports. too" She smil-
ed at Helena. "YOu see, Miss Lit
tie in the sDortswear department
is leaving the first of the month.
i thought you might like to have
her place"
Helena Derrik had gasped. The
sportswear department. was one
of the most important in Helvig's.
1t was important not so much be-
cause of the volume of business,
but because of the fact that it
drew the daughters of Weather
families in the city.
'sYou realize, of course" Miss
Landes said, what the sports
wear department means. Its Gus
toners are chiefly young girls
with money to Spend-young girls
who can influence their families
to maintain an account at Hell
wigs or not maintain an ac-
count at Helvig'S."
But, Miss Landes, /"
Its my opinion" went on the
personnel manager imperturbably,
"that you can handle the sports
wear department even better than
Miss Little. You are good-looking,
and you've that healthy, outdoor
look that a girl in that depart
ment ought to have. But that's
not what convinced me, Helena.
I've watched you in our person

that an average of $l.25 per
wear must be collected from every
inhabitant to pay the cost of adj
ditional accidents which occur
each day in the period from five
to eight p. m. during the four
winter months when darkness ap-
breaches at that time.
Drinking and careless S S
doubtless pay a part in the great

and lack of visibility is the major
difference in the night condition.
investigations have revealed
there have been seven times as
many night fatalities on poorly
lighted streets as on the we'll
lighted ones because the process
of driving an automobile is large
ly one of seeing easily and quick
ly. The lighting of our streets and
highways is one of the solutions
to a reduction in the terrible toll
that automobiles are taking in
deaths and accidents.
The accident bill for the entire
nation is two and one-half billions
of dollars. From the expense in
reduction of traffic accidents on
we'll lighted streets and highways
over the poorly lighted ones au-
thorities claim that for each dol
lar added to the present lighting
bill over SIS would be saved in &C
cident and crime cost.

meeting, and during the ensu-
ing hours, in which they had
been much together, this attrac-
tion had come to be something
more. Of course it was foolish.
Helena had assured herself that
it was. She had met Peter Hen
derSon on a Friday morning.
Now this was Saturday morn
ing-and she was in love with
him.
Nevertheless, Helena Derrik
knew such things did happen.
So why not to her? But I'd
better be careful she had
warned herself during the sleep

time I've been away from the

1t had, indeed, been a sleep
less night. In lieu of sleep, Hell
ena had lain, reviewing the
chain of events which had
brought her to Crest Mountain
Lodge. For two years she had
worked in Helvig's big depart
ment store, and it was only tins
spring that she had been given
a department of her own. True,
it was a small department; but
it was an important Onc-eSpe-
cially during he summer
months.
Now she knew that she had
been wise to pay strict atten-
ton to the ultimatums Of Miss
Landes, the personnel manager
of Helvig'S. She had been wise
in tcking home the little pam
phlets which Miss LandeS hand
ed out to her "clasS" of sales
girls. The majority of the girls
seemed to think the whole
thing a great joke, and only a
few studied the pamphlets.
