Holiday Mishaps Take
Toll Of E3, Drop
Under Last Year
Lack of Snow and Ice
In Many Sections
Keeps List Down

Death, always the violent COM
panion of holiday gayety, reached
across the Nation during the week
end to take at least 293 lives with
another "a hours of the Christmas
holiday yet to be recorded.
AS usual, automobile accidents
took the major toll-209, based on
early reports-while the remainder
of the fatalities resulted from such
causes as burnings, hunting mis-
haps, slayings and train accidents.
Last Christmas more than 500 lives
were claimed during the week end
when the holiday fell on Saturday.
but this year the period reached
from Friday through Monday in
many places.
Only comparative few died
from burns-among them a mother
and two children killed in a water
explosion in their Kinsley (Kans.)
home, and four colored persons
burned to death in a tenement fire
in Newark, N. j.
Fatalities Kept Low.
Lack of snow and ice in many
portions of the country helped keep
traffic fatalities low, but the clear
though cold weather, bringing out
many autoists, probably accounted
for considerable number of those
who died on the Nations highways.
There were few reports of homi-
eide deaths-the most notable, how
ever, being that of a husband
shot to death in Elyria, Ohio, while
his wife was seriously wounded,
when they attempted to take a
Christmas tree from a roadside plot
for their two children. The owner
of the land, tired, he said, of so
many tree thefts, filled the two with
shotgun blast.
A woman in Buffalo, N. Y, re-
turning from midnight mass, was
slain, police said, by her estranged
husband, who also slashed her niece
and cut his own throat.

Fewer Women
| Serving in
Legislatures
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated PreSS.
A survey disclosed today that the
number of women in State Legisla-
lures had decreased from 149 in 38
States 10 years ago to 100 who
would serve in 28 States in 1899.
The National League of Women
Voters, which made the survey, said
the findings did not mean that
American women had gone back
ward in the past 10 years. Miss
Marguerite Wells, president, said
women were showing increased
awareness to politics and were bet

Political Factors Key
To World Trade,
Experts Say
Price and QuoIity Are
Being Superseded,
They Declare

Foreign trade experts of the Agri-
culture Department said today price
and quality were being superseded
by political factors in the worlds
market places.
No longer, they said, is the coun-
try with the cheapest price on its
commodities assured ready sales.
A report analyzing difficulties en-
countered by the United States in
selling such surplus farm products
as wheat, corn and cotton described
the increasingly important political
factors as a desire of many nations,
particularly totalitarian states, to
become self-suffcient. These ma
tions, it said, also want to restrict
their foreign trade to those coun-
tries most friendly to them.
The report said that if the present
trend continues, sit would seem that
overseas wheat-producing nations,
for instance, will be forced to think
in terms of their political relations
with European importers rather
than of production costs, prices and
quality"
AS an example of the situation,
officials said Germany was encourag-
ing its farmers through subsidies to
produce more wheat so that as little
as possible need be imported. Con-
sequently, German consumers are
paying about 81 a bushel for grain
which they could import for about
80 cents bushel.
The same thing is happening In
world cotton markets, officials said.
Germany and Italy, once large i'm
porters Of American cotton, are
turning more and more to syn
thetic fibers, which they produce
at home. They could buy cotton
for less than production of the
substitutes cost
The United States has sold about
rs 10000 bushels of surplus wheat
for export so far this season, but
only after taking loss averaging
close to 20 cents a bushel.

1t was not very good decision as
things turned out. The scene upon
which Miss Lamour, out of a sarong,
because the picture is Spawn of the

bed affair with George Raft doing
the dying. He is supposed to die in
Miss Lamour's arms, which probably
is one of the reasons why so many
youngsters get movie struck.
They were all set to go when Miss
Lamour baked. The scene, she de-
cided, was too moving to be played
before an audience Audiences, of
course, may come to the same con-
clusion when they see Miss Lamour
playing it when the picture is re-
leased, but at the time there seemed
to be nothing to do but accept her
version. So the audience obligingly
and not unwillingly walked out on
Miss Lamour.
