SUGGESTIONS FOR ACCIDENT PREVENTION.
Secretary Hoover, in an address before the National Con
ference on Street and Highway Safety, asked for the cooperation
of nil interest in an effort to reduce the now rapidly Increasing
number of deaths and injuries due to traffic accident. He
stated that there were 22.000 such deaths and 678.000 serious
injuries last year and that nearly 80 per cent of the highway ac
cidenta were due to the automobile.
Here is a suggestion for lessening accidents, says the In
dustrial News Bureau. In the old days, a road was rounded up
like a railroad grade with deep ditches on each aide. Probably
two teams passed at a pace of about three or four miles an hour
on every five-mile stretch. Today our modern highway grades
are largely the same, with a strip of pavement in the center on
which scores of automobiles pass in a mile traveling at a rate of
speed varying from 25 to 45 miles an hour. With good driv
ing, there are no accidents. Misjudgment one way or another,
however, and an automobile crashes with another car or goes
in the ditch.
Instead of digging ditches on each aide of the road, use the
same labor and extend the grade and the culvert coverings from
the edge of the pavement at a gentle slope to the fence row on
each side. In other words, have the curve of the road more like
a street. This is possible along 90 per cent of the highways at no
additional expense. Thus is the tendency for cars to crowd in
the center relieved and consequently the danger of accidents ia
lessened.
All the rules, regulations and laws that can be passed will
be of little or no avail so long as any man or woman can buy an
automobile one minute, step into the state licensing department
and get a permit to drive the next minute, regardless of his fa
miliarity with the car, its operation or road rules. No other piece
of machinery in the world is operated on such a haphazard
basis. The marvel is that instead of 22,000 deaths a year, there
are not 200,000 deaths.
Remove the cause and you will remove the accidents. Inter
mediary measures will be useless. Compulsory automobile ac
cident insurance, or worse yet, monopolistic state , automobile
accident insurance, a suggested remedy, will simply encourage
recklessness for it will tend to remove restraint from an already
careless person. 1

THE HOMELESS ONES.
It was remarked just before Christmas at the Bowery Y. M.
C. A. in New York, that there are 60,000 homeless men in that
city. This is only a small fragment of the great army that roams
about the country supplying the demand for casual jobs at snow
shoveling, harvesting crops, lumbering in the woodlands, etc.
The fate of the homeless man is one that raises many questions.
People who have good homes of their own can hardly realize
what it is to be in that position, with no place to lay one's head,
as the Savior of mankind said of himself. What should be the
attitude of society toward all these roving folks? Do they choose
and prefer their present habits of wandering) Many, no doubt,
re mere irrdsponsiblcs, fellows who will not tie themselves
down to any fixed task. Some have inferior mentality, and no
one would hire them regularly. Many must have fallen into
that habit from Inck of resolute determination. Many will at
tribute their troubles to ill fortune. They will say that if they
had not happened to have some run of ill luck, they would have
settled down like other people. Perhaps many of these are right.
It is not much use to give money to such folks. It may not be
best to feed wandering men at the door, but there should be,
and there is in most communities, some place where they can at
least be given food and shelter. Many of them will talk intelli
gently and suggest that their trouble is mostly lack of will.
Perhaps a few kind words and a little encouragement would spur
a lot of these fellows to quit their drifting ways. Those who
talk willi them should tell them that human beings were never
meant to roam like wild animals, but that a settled home brings
infinite rewards, and it is worth anyone's best effort to work un
til he gets it.
FIRE
The terrible fire at a Christmas celehrntion at I lobart, Okla
homa, as a result of which 33 school children and friends were
fatally burned, is a tragic reminder of several perils. Inflam
mable Christmas decorations with lighted candles constitute a
combination which is only to be handled with the utmost care
'There are thousands of smnll halls about the country where con
dilions are just as hazardous ns they were in the room where
this terrible event occurred. Such a sad affair should lend to
better inspection of such places, to make sure that they pro-
vide ample exit room. j
o i
New Year resolutions have been recommended by the!
New York Campfite Girla to members of that order throunhotit j
the country. They favor giving up of slant;, sleeping with open
windows, eating vegetables, playinx some musical instrument,
cooking one menl a week, speaking in low voices, playing some
game well, creating something of beauty. These ttirls say noth
ing about prcttiness, which has been the aim of yirls for all time.
Kenl achievement and doing things seem to be their preference.
It is a winsome point of view. Cirls who have that idea will gain
ninny friends not acquired by mere red cheeks, artificial or
otherwise.

"The cooperative association
which establlshea grades and
standards, encouragea the good

ety, lncreaaea the eftlciency of
production, provides a unified
product adapted to Ita market,
oi sarnies lis distribution, creates
confidence In Its products and
Its methods that kind of aa as
sociation Is doing the best that
cooperation can do."
"More than anything else, we!
need a generation of farmers
trained to cooperation; and to
get that we need uule, courage
ous, determined leadership and
moat of all leadership that will
nut desert the farmer, but will
stay by him." The supposition
that Americans are not the sort
of people, who possess the gen
ius for cooperation, the presi
dent dismissed as In conflict
with the whole courso of society.
"People who Indulge this kind
of nonsense invariably assume
that cooperation is a new and
comparatively untried formula,"
he said. "Their whole treatment
of It proves mat they have not
caught the Idea. They have com
pletely missed the forest, be
cause there were too many trees
growing ail about. They have
ever looked the fact that all
human eociety is a vast system
of cooperatiousand cooperations,
it began with the discovery that
two people coutd together roll a
hoavier stone or move a bigger
log than can be done by one
alone."
"All the way down from theso

ture to promote orderly market
ing and assure return of at least
cost of production to the farmer,
was urged by . Mr. Lowdenr In
discriminate marketing without
thought of requirements and at
whatever price offered, and mo
nopolistic control, the two me
thods which are commonly open
ed to agriculture, are both
wrong, he said. Instead, he as
serted, the 'farmer must retain
control of the price ol his pro
ducts until they reach the con
Burner. To accomplish this, Mr. Low.
den offered organization to In
crease the 'bargaining power,'
of the farmers, adding:
"Those forces of society re
presenting the purchasers of
farm products in the main havo
become highly organized, while
the farmers have made less pro
gress in that direction than In
any large body of our citizens-
ship. They are, therefore, at
tremendous disadvantage."
Why Corn Market Failed.
Citing recent Instances in
which proper organization for
marketing would have benefitted
the farmer, Mr. Lowden said:
"It is safe to say that the
larger part of the bumper corn
crop of 1923 was sold at a prico
which did not cover cost of pro
duction. If eorn growers had
been organized and found that
the market would not receive
their corn at what it cost them
to produce it, they would not
have dumped (the larger part of
the crop upon the market in a
few brief months. They would
have sold sparingly. They would
havo - stored the remainder,
knowing full well that seasons of
bountiful production are always

' KLAMATH FALLS, Ore., Jan. 5
Police and sheriffs officers were
without clews of any description
today which might aid them In ap
prehending the trio of outlaws who
early yesterday morning shot and
killed Oscar Erlckson, transient
laborer. In a J400 hold up of a
card game in the Scandinavian
hall here. . '
Sheriff L. L. Low retired from
office at midnight last nttjht, and
he and his deputies devoted most
of yesterday to straightening up
prosecuting a vigorous man-hunt-
Practically the same condition
was true of the police department
where Police Chief George Humph
rey and all patrolmen retire today.
Humphrey admitted that he had
devoted but a short time to the in
vestigation. Belief prevails here that the rob
bery and murder were committed
by local men by reason of their
knowledge of conditions in the
supposedly secret card room,
which was hot under city license.
It Is also thought that the outlawB
took advantage of the fact that the
sheriff and police officials were
reiring from office end time dthe
robbery with that in mind, know-
I tng that the investigation would
be less vigorous than ordinarily.
The inouest. which originally
was scheduled for late yesterday at
j ternoon was postponed until 3 o'
I clock this afternoon, Earl Whit
l lock, coroner, announced.
