CHICAGO, Nov. 30.-Only prompt
improvement in walking and driving
habits can head off a national traffic

last years.
The National Safety Council re-
ported today the accident trend took
a turn for the worse in October, and

end safety campaign designed to re-
duce the usual super-heavy De-
cember traffic toll. 1t made these
suggestions:
Public officials: Keep roads free
from ice and snow through use of
snow-removal equipment and abra-
sives.
Judges and traffic enforcement
officers: Clamp down even more
rigidly on traffic violators.
Motorists: There is no substitute
Tor extra caution as an antidote for
darkness, slippery streets and heavy
holiday traffic. In addition, keep
tire chains readily available and
make sure brakes, tires, windshield
wipers and other parts of the car
are in good condition.
Pedestrians: Use extra care in
crossing streets and highways and
remember that danger from auto
mobiles is increased when darkness
or slippery pavements prevail
The October record showed a
per cent national fatality increase
over October, 1898; 13 per cent
increase over September. compared
with an advance of only 10 per cent
in the normal year; fatality in
creases in 81 States, reductions in
10, eight States not reporting; a 7
per cent increase in deaths in cities,
which showed consistent reductions
earlier in the year.
october deaths numbered 3,41O,
compared with $3.50 last year. The
10-month total was 25650, compared
with 10000 for the same period of
1885,
The month was the fourth of the
year to show more deaths than the
corresponding month of 1898. June
deaths were up per cent; April, 2
per cent, and July, per cent. The
accident problem has been intensi-
fed throughout 1889 by a continu-
GUS increase in travel. AS a result,
the 1889 death rate based on mile
age is Z per cent lower than last
year.

A mist came to his eyes. 'Nobody
in this town wants a chap without
money. Dad found that out before
I did!"
It was all she could do to keep from
telling him that there was one person
who wanted him, one true friend to
whom his lack Of money mattered not

But because she loved this boy so
terribly, she dare not risk rebuff from
him. Dare not disrupt the poignant

Renita was thinking rapidly. She
had a wonderful idea regarding Cor

would he receive it? Would he turn
it down?
But his professed hatred for New

her courage. Wait till he had his

harder for a woman to buck the world,
when she was unprotected.
The Scotch was mounting, giving him
a warm and sympathetic feeling.
