it difficult for the Safety Committee
to get consideration of measures that
would entail increase in taxes Also
the proponderance of rural popula-
ton in South Dakota and absence of
large cities make such efforts slower of
crystallization here than in other
States.
ONE Of the most completely Or
ganized State campaigns was that
of Tennessee, where rural popula-
ton had previously defeated bills for
drivers licenses. Frank Ziegler of the
Nashville Chamber of Commerce and
Clifford Davis, vice mayor of Men,

State from the ground up. securing the
active support of farm bureaus. wom-

Gov. Browning, as a result, has made
the drivers license bill an admins
trative measure.
The director of the Accident Pre-
vention Congress visited wyoming in
December and extended cooperation
and support to the Governors efforts
to bring that States motor laws into
line with the uniform code. A State
wide campaign has been conducted
here in support of suggested safety
measures.
There are 81 States in the Union
that are listed by the conference as
having fairly standard motor laws, but
only half of this number. they have
ascertained, obtain the full benefits of
these laws because of lack of enforce
ment. The findings of the committee
also disclose that States that early
adopted drivers regulations and have
since had time to develop adequate
enforcement show a wide reduction
in deaths per 100000 gallons of
gasoline consumed, as compared with
States which have more recently
adopted drivers regulations.
Thus the death records in the first
of these groups per 100000 gallons
of gasoline consumed for 1885 is:
Rhode Island. 1912; Massachusetts,,
142; Connecticut. 1853; New Hamp-
shire, 1877; New York, 1877, and Ver-
mont. 17.9. In the second group,
where license regulatory measures have
been more recently adopted, the statis-
tice are: Idaho. 253; North Carolina,
345; Ohio, 24.4; South Carolina. 34.5;
Utah. 26.7; Virginia. 1922; Washing

Of the fact that public opinion is be-
ing increasingly wrought up over the
large number Of speed fatalities, and
demands action. We believe such
voluntary industry action will be more
effective than compulsory action from
other sources, which a growing i'm
patient public would demand"
1t was also recommended that the
pedestrian should be held strictly
accountable for jaywalking. and sug-
gested that compulsory and regular
inspection of cars, and compulsory
junking of worn cars would add to
general safety, although in this latter
respect some authorities contended
that old and sound cars. unable to
make high speeds. are less likely to
become involved in accidents than
new cars with their many tempta-
tions to speed.
John L. LOvett, chairman Of the
subcommittee OF. contact with the
automotive industry, expressed the
doubt that speed ever could be sue
cessfully curbed by mechanical means.
Only educational work with the
driver, he thought, would prove effec-
tive.
THE importance of educational work
in safety has long been stressed
by the A. A. A. For a decade this
organization has been carrying on an
educational campaign among the
school children of the United States,
teaching the fundamentals of safety
by means Of lessons prepared under
the highest pedagogical authorities,
and posters and charts designed to
attract and impress the juvenile mind.
These lessons, starting with the kin
dergarten. are all graded, up to and
including high school classes, and they
have proved very popular with the
school children and teachers.
The method of presentation is left
! entirely up to the teacher, for her
to At into her curriculum and daily
schedule as seems best. This Is some
times done by devoting an hour period
to the lesson when each new lesson
| and poster comes out. once a month.
In other instances the lessons are
worked into other classes, as, for ex-
ample. the subject matter Of a safety
lesson being assigned as material for
composition in English class. or as
debate. or as part of a civics class
discussion. The ingenuity of the
teacher has been responsible in many
cases for the interest of the children
and the effectiveness Of the lesson.

Another Dawn" is the name of
the picture. 1t is scheduled to
open on Monday at the Maryland

fact that Kay Francis is the lady
most chiefly concerned-an that
the two men who love her are En-
rol Flynn and Ian Hunter-and
both have a chance to save her
and the garrison-and you have
the ingredients of real drama
1t all makes a very thrilling
movie, and preview experts have
put it up to the top of the list
among the action and romance pic
lures of the year.
Enrol Flynn is said to surpass
his performance in that history
making movie, "The Charge of the
Light Brigade" and it is said, too,
that Hunter has the best oppor-
tunity that has come to him since
the Warmers imported him to
play the Duke of Athens in "a

There are mountains and des-
erts and a lot of fighting and
some extremely daring airplane
flying in Another Dawn" the
producers declare. Also a stirring
climax when the time comes for
one or the other of Miss Francis
adorers to have the garrison.
