515 MARKED FOR| SUDDEN DEATH"|
Highways Expected to Take Heavy Toll Over
 Coming Holidays

Hartford. Conn, July 1.--Approx-
 imately 5l5 persons will be killed in
 trafac accidents between the close of business Wednesday afternoon and midnight next Sunday. statis- ticians of The Travellers Insurance company predicted today. The esti- mate is based on experience in pre- vious years when the Fourth of July fell On or near a weekend, plus a currently rising trend in highway fatalities.
 Injuries during the long holiday weekend will approximate 19,500, the statisticians said.
 At the same time, the company announced that the accident toll for the first six months of the year stood at approximately 14,176 killed and 538,68 injured-greate~ than the half-year totals of either 1889 or 1898. The increase in deaths over the. same period year ago was five per cent, while the rise in non-fatal injuries was slightly greater. The 1899 mid-year totals were 13,501 killed and 508,988 in- jured.
 Pedestrian deaths increased six per cent over the same period a year ago. This is in keeping with the trend of the last two years and, according to the report, indicates a need for more education and legis- lation directed at unsafe walking habits. Accidents caused by traffiG law violations of drivers decreased 6.6 per cent.
 Provisional figures point to some of drunken driving and walking as causes of accidents. Deaths and injuries principally due to drunken driving dropped 13 per cent while the number of drunken pedestrians involved in mishaps dropped 36 per cent. These facts, the report suggests, reflect an atti- tude toward stiffening the penalties for these infractions on the part of | many cities and states.

"On The House" Joins List or
 Dead Languages

The familiar Drink up, boys, this ones on the house" was not heard in many Waterbury res- taurants and taverns today, proprietors claiming that the new extra taxes on liquor made 1t impossible for them to follow the old practice.
 A number of establishments reduced the size of their glasses for straight drinks, highballs and beer. This, too, was charged to the new taxes.
 There was still no rule for bidding customers to say "give the house . drink" and liquor permittees were hopeful of vis- its from this type of gentry.
