fTHE dollar cost of accidents i'm this cOun-
try is rising, One reliable estimate puts
last years total cost at the staggering fig
ure Of $4,000 100000.
This total includes damages, benefit pay
ments, loss Of pay loss Of production, doc
tor and hospital bills with perhaps half Of
the total being chargable to highway mis-
haps. With the heavy-travel season just
now getting underway for 1857, there are
those who are fearful of what this years
accident toll will be.
While some safety officials pin their
hopes for reducing the motor vehicle toll
to the new national-highway building pro-
gram, others fear that the increase in the
driver population and the number of mo-
tor vehicles on the highways will cause the
accident figures to climb even higher

with payment amounting to approximately
$97ooo.oo0. This was 5000 more claims

200 Million By 1867

THE Census Bureau reports that the pop
ulation of the United States has now
passed the 10000, 000-mark and the total
is increasing every day.
The latest survey shows that population
in this country only recently passed 170,-
100000 after increasing 100000 in the
last six years This is an enormous increase
and explains the prediction of the Census
Bureau that the population will reach 300
100000 representing another increase Of
30000000 within ten years.
Take the year, 1856, for example. In that
year. there were 1900 900 births and only
100000 deaths Then. there was gain of
100000 immigrants-an unusually large
number-which added up to total gain of
almost 100000 for the year.
This is an astounding rate of growth,
and means that the United States may
catch up with Russia in the population
category in the not unforseeabIe future.
The Russian population is not increasing
as fast as ours although it is estimated
that there are more than 200,000,000 Rus
slams in the U.S.S.R. today The United

Business Hypocrises

Dwight L. Moody admitted the
church harbors a good many hypo-
critics. but-he said there are a
lot more outside the church There
are indeed. Take business for in
stance Listening to the high
priests Of big business in Ameri-
ca, reading the advertisements,
the man from Mars might take
it seriously and believe that the
main object Of business is serv-
ice. The jolly fellowship at lunch
con clubs might be taken in the
same way; how can these people
be deadly rivals? The answer is,
they aren't. The club rules allow
admittance Of only one person
from each classification But
in each classification the man
may be a ruthless rival Of other
men in the same line not in this
club And as for. service, il is
quite true this is an aim Of bust
ness, but the aim is making mon

which have long and honorable
record Of service, may be
there for the simple reason that
there is. more money in it than in
anything else they would find con-
