SAFE STOPPING DISTANCES
Very few motorists have any
accurate idea Of the distance In
which they can stop their cars at
any given speed. Many believe
they "can stop on a dime"
Modern four wheel brakes in
good condition, are 1t Is true, quite
wonderful. But the average driver
does not consider that when an
emergency suddenly develops val
liable time Is always consumed in
realizing the danger and applying
tho brakes. This interval is called
reaction time"
The most alert individual, scien-
t1flc tests have shown, needs not
less than half a second to get the
brakes to working. Many drivers
require from one to one and one
half seconds. Since at even 30
miles per hour, car travels A
feet in one second, consider where
our friend is who says he can
stop on q dime"
Better "play safe" and allow
plenty Of margin for the stop you
may have to make in hurry. At
20 miles per hour, calculate on 43
feet; at 80 miles, take 80 feet; at
40 miles, allow 1873 feet; and at so
miles, not less than 1856 feet.
Remember, you are Just an aver
are driver. Lives may be at stake!

Connecticut's death rate for 1885
was cut to 100 per 1000 population,
the lowest ever achieved In the state,
and the average death rate for the
past five years Of 10.l per 1000 also
established a new low record for
the state, 1t is shown in the pro-
cisional summary OF mortality for
the year issued today by the State
Department of Health
This remarkable mortality ex-
perience indicates the general health
conditions In Connecticut" the de-
partment declared in its weekly bull
letin accompanying the statistical
summary.
The year 1896 also established two
other all-time records with respect
to the health of Connecticut citizens
The infant mortality rate Of 42.3
deaths of children under one year
Of age out of each 1000 living births
was the lowest ever recorded, and
the death rate Of 1873 per 100000
population for all forms Of tuber-
culosis was likewise previously uia-
equalled achievement.
Iyp0OIu EGVeE
Still another noteworthy accom-
plishment is found In the death
rates for typhoid fever and diph-
iberia. In 1885 the death rates for
these diseases increased somewhat
aver 1884, but In 1886 the rates
dropped back again, so that COM
bined mortality Of both resulted IN
less than one death in each 100000
of population. Only eight people
died from typhoid fever and only
seven from diphtheria.
Total deaths in Connecticut last
year were 1857, the summary
shows. This figure excludes deaths
of non-residents except those due
to automobile accidents, suicide and
puerperal septicemia. The actual
total mortality Is slightly increased
over the 1885 figure, but the death
rate is complied on a base which
takes into consideration the gain in
population. Births for the year to-
tailed 2l,797, a rate Of 1875 per 1000
population and the lowest rate on
record.
Cancer continued to hold Its UNI
enyiable reputation as the leading
cause of mortality in the state, there
being 1905 deaths caused by the
disease. Cancer moved down Con-
necticut citizens at the rate OF 1854
per 100000 last year o smaller rate
than In 1884 and 1885 but larger
than In 1882 and 1888.
Accidents
Accidents were the grim reaper's
next best assistant. They took l,226
lives. This was at the rate OF !o.3
deaths per 100000 population,
slightly less than In 1884 and 1888.
Pneumonia, all forms. followed
close on the heels Of accidents with
total Of l,2l7 deaths, an increase
over both Of the past two years. The
pneumonia death rate was 69.7 per
100000.
Among the other causes OF death,
decreases In the rates are found Tor
measles, scarlet fever, influenza, pui"
monary tuberculosis, poliomyelits
(infantile paralysis). and suicide.
Increases are recorded for whooping
cough. forms of tuberculosis other
than pulmonary, diarrhoea and en-
teritis under the age Of two, and the
puerperal state. The death rate Tor
cerebrospinal meningitis remained
the same as In 1885.

In the meantime the Indians were
not idle, and many were killed by
them until in June of 1886, Colonel
Harmer sent two companies to eS-
tablish posts High UP the Mus
kingum river" Some of the In
dians were friendly as Harmer
writes 'sJohn Bull, (called by the In
dians Sheebo) came with about l0U
men, women and children to settle
near his old town on the Muskin-.
gum. near the Falls" but they got
there too late to plant, SO they
hunted. He writes 1.-The circum-
their old habitation / think favor
able" Also Sheebo reported to him
that Simon Girty renegade who
made much trouble for the settlers,
with Half King, Baubee, koon,
Gusheways, chiefs of the OttOways
and Chippeways, had gone to see Sir
John johnson and try to STIR up the
six nations.
A Philip Liebert left Fort Harmer
and took trip through the Indian
country for observation, and on july
20, 1886, he got back to the mouth
Of the Muskingum and reported.
His report is too long to include
here, but is Of great interest, as he
was a close observer and good
writer. He came down the Mus
kingum and reported seeing Indians
and settlers at several places We
know today.
Congress or the authorities HAD
too much on their hands to pay any
attention to what was going on so
far away, so ST. Clair and Harmer
had to get along as best they could
until on the 18th of July, 1887, the
old Continental congress passed an
"Ordinance for the government OF
the territory northwest of the river
Ohio" The congress passed sup
Elemental ordinance authorizing the
sale of lands in this territory, and
under this the Ohio company bought
one and one-half million acres on
the Muskingum river. This will be
taken up under another article.
ST. Clair was now governor of the
territory and had some authority.
and wanted to make good in his Of
fetal capacity and after a trip to
Philadelphia he returned to Fort
Harmer. In letter to the secre-
tary of war he writes, There is a
great deal of uneasiness amongst
them (the Indians), and it is clear

Colonel Harmer had been made a
brigadier general in the meantime,
and he had been trying to quiet the
luuIduS duA SelllSIS dIOuS liiC AVA uo-
kingum. In March of 1888 he wrote
the secretary of war: Il received a
message from Captain Pipe, the
chief of the Delawares, who is about
