as there are many carriages there

and for receiving foreign ambas-

At night, we went to the Grand
Soiree which was the opening en-

of Sports. The show, which was a

male voices who sang beautiful
songs; then was the salute from

AUTOMOBILE SAFETY RULES

An exhibit Of the American Medical Association in
St Louis recently stressed the theme that thousands Of
lives could be saved in automobile accidents if the driver
and passengers safety belts The exhibit even su
gested that 453 people, out of total of 633 persons
killed In one year in Indiana, would probably have
viyed the accidents if they had worn safety belts
It has long been known that most people are not
killed by the destruction of the automobiles but die
from injuries caused when they thrown against the
side, top Windshield windows Stunt drivers long
learned that safety belts and crash helmets enabled
them to endure fantastic crashes without serious injury
This question is something like that concerning back

not want to bother with safety belts in automobiles just

on passenger aircraft Yet, passengers were seated

craft quite often number of them could save their
lives.
Likewise If safety belts were furnished in automo-
bies and possibly other safety Devices entirely pos
sble that than half the people being killed on the
highway today could be saved
Whether the air lines che Government regulators
and the automobile companies take the proper steps to
provide more safety for passengers depends upon the
attitude of the public. that attitude becomes one of
demanding such safety Devices then manufacturers will
supply them. However, we see little hope at present
that such safety devices will be put into use since the
public is not yet sufficiently aroused to the carnage be-
ing caused on the highways, and times in the
by inadequate safety devices. That is reflection on
the intelligence Of the average American traveller
