Reformers in China Suicide for a Cause (Continued from Page One.) gone up in an airplane und crush ed, on purpose, from u three-mile altitude having served notice pre viously what he was doing It lor. On the sume principle. President Coolidge missed u chance to do a great work in behalf of saftey from automobiles when he dodged one of them the other day. It wouldn't be fair to say he did this from de liberate indifference to the Nation al Safety Council's cause. Prob -ably he dodged thoughtlessly. Hut what a rour would have uone lip about drivers rrekiess ness if one of them had hit tip president! It would have meant a widespread tightening up of regu lations that would have saved thousands of lives. Well, thot opportunity's lost. Hut isn't there some other way of ac complishing the same result? In asmuch as no first-class notability is available for the experiment.! can't the individual promlm-nce of! the subject be offset by numbers'.'; We have those ull right. i Approximately ".mi.immi persons died under automobile w heels t hroughout t he fount ry last year. The trouble is, they didn't all die it once. They were strung along, one or two at a time and an hum or two apart. The whole "Jit. ami never furnished one such peppy story as the loss, say, of lives in a single theater file would have done. It's all very well to foot them up and show th apulling total at the year's end, but in that form it jKicks no punch. Obviously the ki I lines must be bunehed to flo any good. So I pro pose this: Assemble futjn volunteer dure-to-dies here In Washington, as a conspicuous central point. Puck them Into Pennsylvania nve nue children predominating, if possible. Then turn all the city's antos loose on them from east and we!; from north and south at street intersection. Give the driv ers carte bhinehe to jump on side walks, to mount streei-cur loading plat forms, to disregard safety lin es, just as they do now to kill und mulm. all day. I estimate the dead would num ber at hast Imou; the mangled, ull the rest, And It would a roust public opinion at lust. At whut saving In the annual number of ; auto falalllb-s, too! about. Hit per! cent, l-'or there wouldn't be many more auto killings alter that. 1 I'm sorry 1 can't volunteer for ' this service myself. Somebody! must be bit to report the event, ) Itetd'b'g.

New Sanitary lloiw Tall To At tract Slum Dweller KI1 MIC KC3H (AP). Dwellers in the slums of h'dlnburgh and other crowded Scottish cities have showed In more ways than one that they preferred bad environ ment, und all Its attendunt evils, to new houses fitted wit h every modern convenience. It was as serted recently by Dr. William Robertson, medical health officer for the tity, in addressing a nieet iug of the municipal council. Dr. Robertson declared that to day, when new houses were bcln provided, he had found It very difficult to convince slum dvel lers that the slums were not a place for decent existence. Once people became accustomed lo the tenements und crowded districts, it was a hard task Indeed for the authorities to get them to feet at home in new and more sanitary quarters. The way to solve the problems, lie believed, was to pro vide decent hfauses In' the out skirts of the cities for all. and In this way prevent families from ever acquiring the sum dwelling habit.

"Motlon-mindf ducss is a sign of progress which is cultivated by the widespread use of the automo bile." "The driver thinks not of (he place w here the car Is at the pre sent time, but where It will be in a few seconds later; he thinks for ward or he hiiH a collision," said Prof. M oo re. "If the auto can lend people to think of men, ev ents,, philosophies and religions in Jthe same day, there is hope that it hey will get Into a habit of asking where this man or that Institution Is leading and will avoid a lew dangerous collisions in the future. "It is surprising how siatlc mluded most people are. They think of things as they a re, and not what they are becoming. It Is the static minded- person who started the pithy but inaccurate slogan 'you can't change human nature," and would doubtless say, you can't move u spinning gyro scope." The dif ficulty in each case is to get someone in the notion to do some changing, rather than the impossibility of change.
