SPEED CAUSES DEATH

With record of 81 200 motor vehicle
fatalities last year it is time for us to seek
the real cause and to apply remedial meas
ures, if possible.
Since 1927, we are advised by the Ma
tional Safety Council, deaths resulting from
the collision of cars, has increased 142 per
cent. 1t is noted that the speed of auto
mobiles has been greatly accelerated dur
ing this period. Pedestrians, killed as
easily at slower speeds, have died at an in
creasing rate but the increase has been
only 20 per cent
Moreover, the figures show that at
speeds under 20 miles an hour only one ac-
cident out of 81 is fatal. Increasing speed
however, pushes up the death rate At 20
to 20 miles an hour one accident in AZ is
fatal; at 80 to 80, one in 35; at 40 to 40,
one i'll 25; over so, one in IL.
Pointing out these facts does not an
swer the problem of automobile fatalities
While speed may be more dangerous, and
it is, the average American, with an amaz-
ing fatalism, has accepted the risks of
speed and will probably continue to take
his chances. Any policy of highway reg
ulatiOn that seeks to severely limit the
speed of automobiles is destined to be dis
appointing.
Recognizing that this is the case it
seems vital that emphasis be placed upon
factors that can be regulated and restrict
ed. These include examination of drivers,
and of vehicles, with rigid and positive eli
mnator of those that are defective and
dangerous. 1t embraces well defined traf-
flc regulations that can be enforced
through the systematic punishment of
those who violate them.
The situation is serious. There are
come owners of automobiles who hesitate
to take long trips because they are afraid
of other drivers, on the highways They
are reasonable drivers but they cannot
protect themselves from those who drive
rccklesSly as well as fast

SCIENCE AIDS HEALTH

If the thyroid gland, in the neck of a
child fails to function and the blood re-
ceves no secretion, the chlid's physical
growth is Stunted and mental development
halted. Hence, we have cause for idiocy
and stunted growth.
Other glands furnish vital secretions
in the human body, but only two, those Of
the adenoids and thyroid, so far have been
obtained in pure form, valuable for medi-
cinal use. Adrenaline was isolated thirty
five years ago, and made alphabetically in
1904
Feeding with the thyroid gland or its
extract has hitherto been the only treat
ment available when the human thyroid
fails, and even this was difficult to dose
properly. Now, thanks to two British doc
tors, VINO have succeeded in synthesizing
thyroXin the hormone produced by the
thyroid gland, victims, whose glands have
failed to function, can receive accurate
treatment, which in the near future will
also be reasonably priced.
AT present we are informed the en-
tire human race has only about fifteen tons
of it in their bodies. and it is more precious
than diamonds.

bic support of American institutions.
What are the real issues?
The economic situation is confused
and this is reflected in political dis
cussion. But at the Cleveland and
Philadelphia conventions there was
something lacking. Attempts to stir

Periodically economic and political

Notable illustrations are the French
Revolution at the end of the eight

luton of 1917. Changes come in eco
nomic life that make necessary a new
approach. a different outlook and a
different political procedure. This is
the case today all over the world. Just

| ton, an attempt to throw off the domi-
| nation of the Western powers.
This is bringing intense. economic
and political strain in Asia and even
| in Africa. 1t is also causing difficulties
in Western Europe and in the United
States. We are being forced back upon
ourselves and are faced with bewil-
dering number of problems. More
over, the increasing rapidity of tech
biological development results in such
sudden changes in business organiza-
ton, in labor conditions. in prices and
| in other ways that vast confusion
results.
Within our own country the situa-
| ton is further complicated by our
form of government We have forty
eight states each with its written con-
stitution and our federal government
| with its powers only those especially
conferred upon it. There is some elias
ITCHY possible through interpretations
by the Supreme Court. but there is
bound to be constant fire of criti-
cism by those who are dissatisfied
with many of its decisions. "Cussing
the Court" is just now popular pas
time.
Another curious development is a
readjustment in the positions of the
two leading political parties. Until
recently the Democrats were follow
ers of Thomas jefferson and the Re-
publiCans of Alexander Hamilton. The
former were advocates of states
rights and the latter of a strong CEN
trail government. Now the Democrats
seem to be accepting the views of
Hamilton and the Republicans the
ideas of Jefferson Neither party will
definitely say so but the shift is ap-
parent.
1t will be fortunate if out of the
confusion there can be developed a
clearer distinction between the two
major parties. If one of them can
champion conservatism-the idea of
relatively slow changes-and the
other can espouse liberalism. or more
rapid change. we shall all gain.
Whether this can be done in the
United States remains to be seen.
In the meantime there are no clear
signs that we shall go fascist. Neither
are there signs of any important gains
for communism.

HUGE NET UNDER BRIDGE SAVES
WORKERS

Steel workers enjoy VIGOROUSLY brief
lives. One slip and the battle for economic
freedom ends for steel worker when he
plays with rivets a hundred or so feet in
air.
For this reason we are glad to note
that steps have been taken to insure the
safety of workers on the Golden Gate
bridge now being constructed to link San
Francisco and Oakland, California
While no deaths have occurred the
directors of the district building the struc-
ture have ordered huge nets to extend the
entire length of the structure This is the
first time that such safety appliance has
ever been used in ma jOr bridge cOnStruc-
ton work.
One of the cotton cord nets, similar to
those used for trapeze performers, will
cost $50, 400. 1t will be $4,000 feet long
and 40 feet wide and will be ready to
catch an unlucky bridge worker just fifteen
feet after he loses his balance Falling
workmen will be much better off than
twenty of their fellow-laborers, who made
the supreme sacrifice in the construction
of an earlier bridge.

were now ready to be Grated.
The door from the other office
opened. The man in the smock came

handed to Underwood. Underwood
