BIG LIFE TOLL
Report Covering Year 1887
Shows $4,000 Persons
Were Killed
FAULT IN ROADS

Observation-Disclosures high
ways are almost as dangerous as a
battlefield, according to reports by
the United States bureau of public
roads and the National Safety coun-
ell.
Last year 80, 500 persons were re-
ported killed and $4,000 were in
jured on highways. These casual
ties were greater than American
losses in any similar period Of the
World war.
Responsibility for a large percent
age of the automobile accidents was
attributed by the bureau to misuse
and diversion of automobile tax
funds. It said $161. .413. .000-13R
cents out of every highway tax dol
lar-was used last year for non
highway purposes.
Two States Cut OFF.
The bureau withheld S472, 1862 in
federal aid from Massachusetts and
$3.50, 600 from New Jersey for illegal
diversion of state highway funds.
mostly for relief purposes. Georgia
was placed on probation and North
Dakota warned for questionable
practices.
The use of highway funds for 9TH
er purposes by several states is be-
ing investigated and action may be
taken soon, bureau officials said.
They said, however, that it was i'm
possible to ascertain how much mon
ey had been allocated by states to
counties and diverted to other uses.
State highway income in 1897 to-
tailed 81, ,195. .625. 900 and expenditures
including payments on debt, state
police, local roads and non-highway
purposes-amounted to $1,166, 706,-
900, the bureau reported. Federal
contributions amounted to 1882, 762,-
900.
Fault Found With Roads.
Even that amount was insufficient
to keep highways in good condition
and build new roads, the bureau
said. No official estimate was avail
able as to the number Of persons
killed or injured in death traps" on
highways, but officials said faulty
roads contributed to great number
Of accidents.
The bureau is conducting a joint
investigation with states to locate
and eliminate dangerous roads and
bridges. Officials said the inquiry
is being made in 46 states and that
the results will be made public upon
completion.
1t is hoped TO arouse public senti-
ment to force highway officials to
keep public roads in good condition.
Economic losses last year from au-
tomobile accidents were estimated
by the safety council at S1,700, ,000,-
000-about 3 per cent of the national
income and enough to finance the
building of 35 Empire State build
ings.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

While on a visit to Egypt, met
Mr.. Lowrie Campbell, who teaches
at the American University in Cairo
We fell to talking about India, where
he had spent many years of his life
will you write me sometime" I
said to him, land tell some of the
things you observed about the holy
animals of India?"
Mr.. Campbell agreed to do so, and
has kept his promise. Here are
paragraphs from his letter:
Holy bulls eat the crops of the
poor Indian farmers. The bulls can
be chased away, but must not be
injured, since they rank with
monkeys as the most sacred of
animals.
These bulls have been known to
become mean and to attack people
When I was boy in India,
woman was brought into the mission
hospital in our small city. She had
been walking along the highway
when a big Brahmany bull, coming

gored her. She died in the hospital.
For time we lived in tents so
my father could be near the Chris
tian natives. One night bull came
near and started to charge toward
our tents. Our servants frightened
him off, but for many days my
knees shook when I thought of that
night.

Teachers Ask Plenty

In a convention of radical school
teachers in Santiago, Chile, it was
voted that professors" should be
allowed to travel half price by all
means of transport, fiscal or private;
that professors should have the right

every seven years; and that all state
teachers not belonging to the "Frente

Pied Piper Wanted

Millions of rats have invaded the
Puelo and Turbio Valleys in Argen-
tina and Rio citizens wish they
could contact a Pied Piper. The
rodents are not only eating up the
crops, but have attacked and killed
sheep. Many farmers have been
ruined by the invasion. Concerted
attacks on the swarms of rodents
have failed to stop them.

honor OF the monkey god The
town is full of monkeys:
while seated in a train, at the
Hardwar station, I was eating a
banana beside an open window.
One moment I was eating the
banana, but the next moment I
wasn't. A monkey had got on top
of the car, had leaned over and
reached through the window to get
hold of the food in my hand! The
monkeys at Hardwar do that as a
regular thing, running along the top
of the train until they can pop down
and take food out of the hands of
the passengers"

A Poor Tokeout

There are only two reasons why
player should ever take out his part
ner's business double. The first is fear
that the opponent may make his
contract. The second reason is that
the penalty obtained will be insutfi-
cient reward as compared with the
game that he expects to make.
When the latter reason is the case,
the player should be absolutely sure
that he will be able to make his own
contract. For example:
North dealer.

While South knew his opponent
could not make two spades, he
thought he would be able to make
three clubs, which would give him
game and rubber.
West opened a spade. Declarer

promptly led a trump. Then the

ming with the trump ace, played his
singleton diamond. East now cashed
his ace-king of diamonds and gave
his partner a ruff. West then led
the second spade. East ruffed, then
played a fourth diamond, which
West trumped.
In addition to the two tricks he
was set. South had passed up the
nice penalty he would have received
If he had left his partner in the
double. But. worst of all, South
should have made his own contract.
After winning the first trick, he
should have played the ace and king

spades. This would have limited
two trump tricks.
