Recom ; mended by Studebak- ' er Head : The conscientious observance of ten simple rales for' safe driving prepared by one ot the nation's foremost traffic authorities would materially, reduce- the number of traffic and highway accidents in the United States,, and at the same time result lif a decidedly more efficient use of our motor cars, according to A. R. Erskine, president ot The Studebaker cor poration. "The many complications and new safety requirements imposed by modern traffic conditions are ably covered in these ten com mandments for motorists," said Mr. Erskine. "They were com piled at the request of safety workers by Dr. Miller MeClintock, director of the Erskine Burean for Street Traffic Research which The Studebaker corporation en dows In Harvard university as its contribution to the solution of modern traffic and safety prob lems. ."The rules are based on traffic studies made by the bureau in city and suburban areas with an estimated total population in ex cess ot 10,000,000 people. The ten pointers which it is believed motorists should always bear ln mind whether driving in th city or ln the open country re: 1. Keep your car sound con dition. 2. Keep jout car under con trol; It ta dangerous If you can not stop In the assured clear dis tance ahead. ; . 3. Keep your eye on the road: one second's inattention may mean an accident. 4. Never fight for the right of way: the only real utility of right of way rules Is at inquests or damage salts. 5. Go along with the proces sion r you have no more right to "drag" traffio than you have to Jeopardize yourself and others by unnecessary "cutting in." 9. Be as courteous on the road as. you are in your own home: give other drivers and especially pedestrians a fair chance. 7. Know your local traffic rules and obey them exactly: they are the motorist's safety code and book of etiquette combined. 8. Take pride in your driving skill: if normal people- are nerv ous to ride with you, something is wrong with your driving. 9. Don't miss liquor, worry,, or anger with gasoline. 10. Study local maps and ex periment for shorter and less con gested routes; you may be sur prised at the time you will save. AMERICAN SECRETARIES HAILED IN PLYMOUTH 1 ijH m 2 , ' . . .

Italian Births and Deaths Are Approximately Even man to attend th aasial meet lng of the Eastern Oregon Wheat League, find farming a 1,100 acre wheat ranch a elneh.

Horses are disappearing from American agriculture at the rate of 500,000 a year, says an invest igator of the California Agricul tural college. Br ANDRTJE BEItDIXG (Associated Press Staff Writer) ROME (AP) Despite all Mussolini's -efforts, his personal example, his campaign of high powered publicity and his money rewards, Italy Iras swung into the trend of other European countries so that her births and deaths tee ter on an even balance. The deaths, ln many cases, weigh down the scales. The press Is crying "Is the Italian race dy ing?" In the first 11 months of 1929, the births totaled 29.4 60 fewer than in the same period of 1928. At the same time the deaths jumped almost 30,000, making the "demographical balance" yet more unfavorable. At the door of the cities Is laid the blame for this set-back. "The city," says the Popolo di Roma, "renders men sterile and it is stricken by the folly of 6uicide." Florence, which harbors a large American colony, had 4, 053 births in the 11 months per iod, and 4,647 deaths. Novarra's birhtrate is 13 to the thousand. Its deathrate is 16. Trieste's births were 246 and its deaths 245 in a total of 245,000 inhabitants. The cities of Padua, Parma and Modena are on the right side of the balance, but so close Id the center that they exist in momen tary danger of going over to the other side. The cities to the south show better records but do not offset the unfavorable sum total. The publication of these fig urea has flashed through Italy like lightning. In the last several years, Italy, lulled' by reports of triplets and quadruplets and by isolated birth and death figures. has come to believe that her pop- b ulatlon was growing apace. Now she has awakened, and the Dnce is thundering once again: ,'We need more children." Mussolini has been strenuous in his efforts to increase the man power of his country. He gives rewards personally to the parents of large families; he gives them preference ln governmental posi tions; he forbids the sale of any birth control a'evlces or litera ture; he sets the example by having five children of his own, the youngest of whom was born in 1929. There is a certain political sig nificance to this decrease ln births. The Popolo di Roma says: "Other nations will rejoice not only because misery loves com pany but also because the Italian threat, rising above the horlxon, will slowly fritter away. A na tion ln which deaths finish by surpassing the births has no need of colonics in other lands. But for its cemeteries it will never hare enough ground."

OLTMPIA, Wash. ? CAP) . Along the shaded trails of the Pa cific northwest's remaining tim berlands crews of surveyors will soon begin the preliminary work for what ultimately will be the most extensive tree census and forest snjyey in the history of the United States. Coincident with the recent an nouncement at Portland," Ore., that District Forester C. M: Granger, ot the Pacific northwest district, had been promoted to the position ot head forest economist ln charge of the nationwide sur vey, advices received by forestry officials at Olympia indicated that the survey will be undertaken in the early spring. The -survey will be conducted-l under the direction of the forest service, United States department of agriculture. It was authorized by the McSweeney-McNary act ot 1928 and, forestry officials here said,- will he one of the biggest undertakings ln the development of forestry yet Instituted. Because of Its outstanding com plex and importance as a lumber producing region, the Pacific northwest has been selected as the" region where the first work of the national survey will be started. The study will be ex tended as rapidly as possible to other forest regions and will even tually eover all the forested areas ot the United States. It will be a comprehensive ap praisal of existing forest supplies and conditions, growth and re quirements, and for present and futnre trends, all of which prop- St HOMESICK X . .4:V:.-J A sick, broken old mln sits in the villa St. Ausnstine, Cannes, France lonrins for a sight of the Statue of Liberty and the Kansas and Oklahoma- oil fields which pro AnrA Vi fortune.

Congress has authorized a fed eral contribution of 13,000,000 to the project. An initial appro nriation of S40.000 la available for the work to be carried out during 1930. Successful development ot the project, foresters declared, will depend upon widespread co-operation with federal, state. Indus trial and other private agencies.

The remainder," $10,000 will go for Individual as signments. Granger Is now in Washington, D. C. where he was called to con fer with Chief Forester R.
