The statistical sharks have figured
out that automobile accidents in
Oregon inflicting personal injury or
death came from the following
causes as to the order of their mag
nitude:
1. Exceeding speed limit. 3. Did
not have right-of-way. 3. On wrong
side of road. 4. Drove off roadway.
5. Reckless driving. 6. Miscellaneous,
control of car. 7. Failed to signal and
improper signalling. 8. Cutting in.
9. Passing on wrong side. 10. Pass
ing on curvce or hill. 11. Car ran
away no driver. 12. Passing stand
ing street car.
Well go a little further and fig
ure out the causes of accidents do
ing damage to cars in which no one
was injured, same being set down
as to order of their magnitude: 1.
Attempting to park car in parrallel
parking space. 2. Having car setting
in parallel parking place as some
motorist is attempting to park In
adjacent space. 3. Trying to get car
out of parallel parking place.

Neutrality Bill Not to
Keep Us Out of War
Says Barnard Baruch
Cleveland, 0., May 21 (P) Bernard M. Baruch, former
chairman of the war industries board, said in a prepared
speech here today that the Pittman neutrality bill "is not a
neutrality bill at all. The pittman
act may or may not keep us from
actually fighting in another world
war, but It certainly does not pre
vent our talcing part In any such
war," he said. "On the contrary. It
may require us to take a very ef
fective part perhaps the determin
ing part."
Baruch, addressing the foreign
affairs council, said he does not
condemn the Pittman act.
"It sails an uncharted sea," he
declared. "I am only trying to con

Monts, France, May 21 (P) There
will be no religious ceremony to
unite the Duke of Windsor and
Wallis Warfield, a spokesman i
nounced tonight.
Herman L. Rogers made the an
nouncement. He refused to say why
the plans for a religious sen ice to
follow the civil service on June 3
had been abandoned.
It was known, however, that the
duke and his fiancee had been try
ing without much success to find an
Anglican pastor who would marry
them in the face of the chuch's
stand against re-marriage of di
vorced persons and Its constant op
position to the Edward-Warfield
union.
Rogers did say the British consul
from Nantes would attend the civil
ceremony, thus giving it something
of a British official flavor. How
ever, the consul's capacity will be
unofficial. The British government
still is steadfastly opposed to any
public recognition of the match, and
no member of the royal family will
come here.

BOOKMAKERS
San Francisco, May 21 OJ.FO Mem
bers of the Jockeys, Trainers and
Turf Employes International union
were reported to be picketing book-
making establishments In San Fran
cisco today in an attempt to force
them out of business.
E. M. Greenwood, president of the
union, said that all the "300 book-
making establishments in the city"
would be picketed and that the
drive would be extended to a nation-wide
basis as rapidly as pos
sible.
"It is estimated that for every
dollar going through the mutuels.
$30 is wagered through bookmaking
establishments and runners," Green
wood said. "Stopping the books
would mean all wagers would go
through the mutuels at the track,
resulting in a larger "take" and in
creased prses for horsemen.
"Everyone connected with legiti
mate racing thus could be paid
living wages instead of the board
and tackroom lodging many of them
now receive as total compensation."
Picketing started yesterday at the
office of a service supplying tele
graphic reports of races to bqok
makes. Police, meanwhile, confronted
bookmakers with a double threat
when they said that "If we see pic
kets standing around in front of a
place, and are convinced bookmak
ing is going on inside, we'll raid
the place and an investigation will
be conducted after the raids."
In result. ... It Is the exact reverse
of keeping out of war In the modem
sense."
The Pittman bill prohibits certain
Implements of war from being sold
or shipped to nations at war, pro
hibits giving them credit, and
among other things mandates that
Americans shall not travel on "bel
ligerent ships" except "as the presi
dent permits."

poses of supply In war.

today that the real cause of the ab

his refusal to go through with the

ed the Duke of Windsor's decision
to marry the American Wallis War

Shaw referred to the coronation
