During what part of the 24-hour
day are most persons being killed
on our highways?
Statistics show that although
most of the automobile traffic is in
the daytime, most of the fatalities
occur at night. Six out of every
ten deaths occur while three out
of every four cars are safely ga
ragged for the night These highly
pertinent facts are revealed in
stLest We Regret, the ninth in an
, annual series Of booklets pub
lished by The Travellers Insurance
Company in the interests of high
way safety.
During the period from 1890
through 1887, deaths due to auto
mobile accidents during the hours
of darkness increased 545%; while
fatalities during daylight actually
decreased 5.4%.

These facts, the booklet points
out, are a challenge to traffic ex-
perts to devise physical safeguards
which will eliminate some of this
nighttime slaughter. They are a
challenge to public officials to put
into force whatever legal restric-
tions may be necessary to curb
these crashes. Most of all, they
are challenge to drivers and
pedestrians to double their eau
ton in driving and walking at
night. A.t"'%#H
Highway safety, in a last anal
ysis, will never be achieved
through the efforts of few engi-
neers, public officials and law
makers. Only the combined eff
forts of 10000, 900 drivers and 100,-
100000 pedestrians will accom-
plish it.

MATTRESSES SELLER FINED $50, COSTS
Deliberately Sells Second- Hand Goods; Commits
 siOner Lauds Court

Hartford, July 20 - State Labor Commissioner Cornelius J. Danaher today expressed himself as being pleased with the action taken by the city court of New Haven last week in fining a mattress company for selling inferior goods in the state and added that his depart ment would rigidly enforce the law in the future. The commissioner asserted that there is no room in this state for business concerns who deliberately sell mislabeled goods.
 In the New Haven case the of- fender was the Providence Mattress Co.,, of Providence, R. l., whose president, Meyer Rudnick was ar- rested on the charge of selling and delivering second hand mattresses which were la. ,'ed as new. His ar- rest followed several warnings by the state labor department. He pleaded guilty, was fined $50 and costs and ordered to take back all mislabeled goods sold in the state including his mattresses now offer ed for sale in various stores in the state.
 Judge Fred Trotta of the NeU Haven city court who fined Rudnick told the defendant that he would not be permitted to sell any more goods in this state until he com- pleted the job of removing all of his miSlabeled mattresses.

No Action Taken On Expected Appointment
Mayor Hayes to Name Successors to Late Sherwood Rowland; Plans Special Meeting of Board of Finance

Mayor Frank Hayes said today he planned to call a special meeting of the Board of Finance before next payday" for action on matters aris- ing since the death Monday of Con- troller Sherwood l.. Rowland. The meeting may be called late this week, he said, or early next week.
 No action was taken today by Mayor Hayes, and none is con- templated immediately, toward the appointment of a successor to Con- troller Rowland. It is within the power of Mayor Hayes alone to make the appointment. Numerous rumors arose concerning the choice, but none was graced with official confirmation.
 Checks Issued
 The facsimile signature of Con- troller Rowland will appear on city payroll checks issued today. The checks signed by machine, will be honored by banks, upon agreement of Lewis s. Reed, president of the Citizens & Manufacturers National Bank, the city's depository, to ac- cept them.
 Corporation Counsel Charles s. O'Conncr in letter to Acting Con- troller James P. Purcell sanctioned the procedure. He has not as yet, however, issued any opinion as to whether Purcell's authority as act- ing controller continues until the mayor makes his choice.
 Checks for the payroll of the city were made out yesterday and signed by machine. The bank in agreeing to the procedure, asked that the Board of Finance approve the ac- tion. As no meeting of the board is scheduled to meet this week, the necessity of a special meeting arises.
 Counseps Letter
 In 8 letter to Acting Controller James P. Purcell, Corp. Counsel O'Connor declared:
 "Due to the unexpected and un- fortunate death of MT. Rowland I believe an emergency exists because all city checks must bear the sig

Visit Delayed

The million dollar stamp truck which is touring the east under the auspices of the post office de- partment apparently will not come to Waterbury on this trip. Its route to date has included New Haven, Meriden, Middletown, Hartford, and now 1t is reported to be headed north for Spring field, Mass. At each of these towns 1t has made stops of from one to four days, to the delight of stamp collector who have never before been privileged to see so complete an exhibit of U. s. post age stamps. Every issue of stamps from the first in 1847 down to the present time is included in the display. Whether the truck will stop off at Waterbury on its re- turn trip southward is not known as yet, according to Postmaster Charles A. Babin, who said no official schedule of stops has been sent to him.

 GETTING SLAPPED
Embassy Protests Latest Incidents to Japs; Priest
 Is Struck

Peiping, China, July 26-(UP)- American embassy authorities pro- tested to the Japanese embassy today against the third attack by Japanese soldiers this month on Americana the skipping of two United States citizens by Japanese soldiers.
 The embassy asked for disciplinary action.
 The Rev. Daniel scannell, of the Catholic Franciscan Mission of New York, and A. E. Smithberger, of Hampton, Minn., former marine who is now athletic coach of Fujen university, were the Americans in- volved.
 They were driving near the an- cient imperial sun palace Saturday. They were halted outside the Japa- nese barracks. Chinese police asked for their passes. The Chinese police escorted Father Scannell into the barracks. There Japanese soldier began loading gun. Another Japa- nese soldier disarmed him. A third Japanese soldier approached and slapped Father Scannell. A fourth slapped Father Scannell's chauffeur.
 Smithberger went into the bar racks, hearing the disorder, to see what he could do.
 Smithberger was slapped too.
 A Japanese sentry, returning from a mule ride in the countryside, ar- rived and the skipping stopped. The sentrys asked for the Americans passports and, having examined them, released them.
 A Japanese spokesman said today that the incident was 8 "misunder- standing" and would be settled sat isfactorily."
 Previously this month. Japanese soldiers had slapped an American woman and 13-year-old American boy and had beaten a United States navy pay clerk. An American flag flying over United States-owned property, had been destroyed by Japanese soldiers.
 At Shanghai, terrorists raiding anti-Japanese newspapers had killed Albert F. Wilson, of Philadelphia, 8 Shanghai resident who happened to be passing by.
 United States authorities have been trying vainly to get in touch with L. w. Holland, of the Ameri- can Methodist Episcopal Church Mission, whom Japanese army men seized at Nanchand June l3.
