Weight of Auto Accidents
Lies in Rural Rather
Than Cities
INDIVIDUAL CONTROL

A study of automobile accidents
according to place of occurrence
brings out quite clearly the fact
that the weight of the auto acci-
dent problem lies in the rural dis
tricts rather than the cities and
/ that greater attention should be
given to traffic on rural highways
if mortality from automobile acci-
dents is to be reduced or even eff
fectively checked. According to
the Delaware Safety Council, the
main causative factor of automo-
bile accidents is careless driving.
The regulation of traffic in urban
centers is becoming more strict
and more effective. When a car
makes its way through congested
city streets and finally reaches
open country the person at the
wheel is likely, in a very exuber-
ant spirit, to 'let her 60" The
effects of this release from enforc-
| ed caution are seen in the COM
parative rates of fatal accidents.
Here is a recipe, issued by the Del
aware Safety Council for individ-
ual control of accidents:
1. Appreciate the seriousness of
accidents and actually desire to
prevent them. Out of this will
come a sense of personal respon-
sibility for their prevention.
2. Forget all about luck, or
fate, or Providence as a possible
dispenser of these unexpected mis-
haps. Accidents are man-made.
Believe yourself the master of
your own life and have faith in
your ability to foresee its dangers
and guard against them.
3. Do not consider yourself i'm
mune from accidents; realize that
your past experience may mislead
you. All persons are subject to
accidents.
4. Understand that physical in
jury is not the accident, but is
only one of the possible results Of
an accident. Appreciate that ar
accident which produces no injury
may result, when repeated, in in
jury or even death. Prevent, if
possible, the accidents, and the in
ffiuries will take care of themselv-
es.
5. Persevere. Learn something
constructive from each of your
own experiences and those Of
others. Adopt it into your own
life The stakes are high-the re-
suits will be worth while.
6. Do not fear danger. Try to
meet it unafraid
z. Remember that life is our
most priceless possession 80 and,

city is cleared away and in
its place are 70 be erected modern
homes for 5000 families. They will
be six stories in height and equipped
with elevators The construction
will be in the form of LIS, T's and
crosses, thus affording a maximum
of light and air. By the use of
glazed tile, new pipe and cable in
stallations, arrangements of lighting
fixtures and other construction econ
omies, the builders hope to provide
homes which will rent for S5.25 a
room month. The enterprise is
S33, 900, 900 project sponsored by
the city and the federal government
and the rentals are to be lower than
the Williamsburg and Harlem
houses, earlier low-cost housing
projects.
In addition to modern conven-
fences. practically unknown in the
Red Hook section in the past, the
houses are to have clinics, isolation
rooms, health centers, recreation
rooms for adults as well as nursery
rooms and schools And all that's
mighty far cry from the Red Hook
of the past, my impression of
which are battle-ground for vari-
GUS gangs of longshoremen, led by
Peg Leg Lornegan and others long
since gone to whatever rewards
they may have had coming.
Still another housing project of
importance-this one financed by
life insurance company funds-is up
in the Bronx where modern dwell
ings are to be built on 120 acres of
land. One thing that strikes me. as
significant is the fact that the build
ings will occupy only 26 per cent of
the land area. Then too, house
wives who dwell in the apartments
won't have far to go to do their
shopping. In each block there will
be commissaries where various
necessities and even some luxuries
may be purchased.

BUILD FORT FOR
WAR IN 4 HOURS
Group of Army Officers See
Demonstration of Con-
crete Process
UNUSUAL SPEED NOTED

WASHINGTON. - Before high
ranking army and navy officials and
foreign military attaches new and
revolutionary method Of construct
ing concrete fortresses, bombproof
dugouts. and machine gun nests was
demonstrated at the bureau Of
standards
The audience witnessed the con-
struction Of a 50-ton pill box fort
with a so-called vacuum" concrete
The fort was ready for use four
hours after the concrete was poured.
Ordinarily it takes several days for
concrete to harden.
Point to Unusual Speed.
The process was used in the dem
onstration for the first time for mill
tary purposes. Witnesses agreed
that the fortress Of the future. par
ticularly in those nations more in
terested in defensive than in often
sive warfare, will take advantage of
the unusual speed and strength pos
sible by means of this most recent
development.
The process was invented by Karl
P. Billner of New York city It
has already been used to advantage
in the construction Of concrete
houses, in public highways. and for
other purposes, but it is expected to
be Of special service in time of war.
By means Of vacuum" concrete,
bombproof shelters and fortresses
could be built in one evening and
harden and be ready for warding
off attack at dawn on the following
morning. Billner said. Not only does
this new process save time in con-
struction and otherwise, he added,
but the resulting fortress is much
stronger than those of other types
and the cost of construction is less.
Standard Mix Used.
In the demonstration standard ce-
ment, sand and broken stone, mixed
with water, were poured into forms
or molds at 9 a. m. These forms
were of wood, although in standard
lied construction they probably will
be of thin steel or aluminium sheets,
with the proper bracing, so as to
be very light and easily transport
able, in sections.
After the concrete mixture was
poured into the molds, the vacuum
process was applied and at p. m.
the forms were removed.
Briefly. the vacuum process is a
method of removing from concrete,
after it has been placed in the
forms, all excess mixing water-the
water which has been added to
make the concrete liquid enough to
flow readily into the forms, Billner
explained.

Original plans for Rockefeller

equate to hold audiences who de-
sired to listen to the tops of the

and out of repair. Traffic condi-
tions were bad for occupants OF the
golden horseshoe who came to their
music in 1imousines. The Rookie
feller Center site had many advan-
tages. Nevertheless, grand opera
remained on Broadway and the site
set aside for it in Rockefeller Cen
ter remained vacant. It hasn't been
idle, however. Since the opening of
the development on which more
than $100, 900, 600 has been spent, it
has served as a parking lot.

SAM A BUTCHER
Troy, New York, Claims Sam
Wilson AS the Real Art
lists Model
.. 5. FOR JUNGLE SAM"

TROY, N. Y.-A slaughterhouse
owner, tall and thin, with graying
hair, was the original Of the car
toonist's 'Uncle Sam" Troy histori-
ans contend in denying claims from
other sections regarding the origin
# the famous figure.
He was Sam Wilson, a packer who
moved from Mason, N. H., in 1889
and settled near Troy. During the
War Of 1912 Wilson became associat-
ed with Ebert Anderson, who had
contract to supply meat to federal
troops stationed at what is now Gin
ten Heights, N. y, and at New
7urgh.
Up to this time Wilson was known
locally as Uncle Sam" and his
wife. the former Betsy Mann, as
Aunt Betsy" because Of their local
hilanthropy.
U. S. for Uncle Sam"
Rutherford B. Hayner, former edi-
Or Of Troy newspaper and local
historian. offers an explanation Of
how the title Uncle Sam" was
spread until it came to be national
'olloquialism.
Hayner wrote in a historical rec
rd that Anderson and Wilson
shipped meat to troops in casks
marked with their initials. But in
stead Of using s. w., Wilson used
The initials for Uncle Sam" so that
the casks were labeled "E. A.-U.
s." In explanation of how the meat
packers name came to signify the
United States. Hayner recounted
his incident:
When a large consignment Of
neat was awaiting shipment par
ty Of visitors landed at this dock and
On seeing this pile of freight, in
Iuired of the watchman Can Irish
nan who was one of Uncle Sans
'mployees) who the owners were,
md the watchman replied:
It's all marked, sir, and be-
ongs to Mr.. Anderson and Uncle
Sam
Then the people asked who I'm
lie Sam was. The reply was:
" Why, don't you know? He owns
nearly all about here and it is he
Who is feeding the army"
Troy Defends His Title.
Hayner explained that the remark
was variously interpreted, but the
impression grew that the initials U.
S. stood for United States. and that
Uncle Sam" was a local name for
the country. Soldiers spread the
story.
The story is repeated in a local
history written by Arthur j. Weise.
Joseph Boake, secretary to Mayor
Frank ]. Hogan, said Troy was pre-
pared to defend its right to be called
Uncle Sans home" Several years
ago a monument was dedicated in
Oakwood cemetery where Wilson
was buried. A tablet states that
Wilson was the original Uncle
Sam" Wilson was born in 1857. He
died July 81, 1854.
A somewhat similar version of
Uncle Sam" has arisen in the
South. At Daleville, Miss, histori-
cal society believes Gen. Sam Dale
was the man who typified Uncle
Sam" He also provided provisions
for soldiers in the War Of 1872 and
was called Uncle Sam" by Tennes-
