That is more than the total number of American soldiers who were killed during the Great War. Last year, according to carefully cci.ipiled statistics kept by the Travelers Insurance company, there were twenty-nine thousand motor vehicle deaths. This is a reduction from the thirty-three thousand live hundred deaths from ih!s cause in 1931, but it must be remembered that there were a great many fewer cars on the road last year than tl.er« were the year before. Every death of this kind is a senseless, useless waste of life for no good purpose. It is not enough to say that fatal accidents are the fault of careless drivers; th» situation calls for some way of in suring against carelessness in driving. The best insurance of this is requiring everyone who drives a car to be licensed, after a rigid examination into his or her ability to drive carefully, and then to enforce strictly the laws forbidding any unlicensed driver to sit behind a steering wheel and punishing the licensed driver for any accident which causes injury to persons or property. In the half dozen state in which such laws and regulations exist the proportion of automobile accidents is lower than anywhere else. Automobile drivers are not always at fault. While 44 percent of the persons killed by automobiles last year were pedestrians who were struck by cars, nearly half of those were killed by their own carelessness, either in crossing streets against signals, crossing diagonally between street intersections, or stepping out into traffic from behind park ed cars. No sane person would think of letting a boy or a girl handle firearms without making sure that they thoroughly understood the danger inherent in their use and knew per fectly well how to handle them. But people who shudder at the idea of giving children firearms to play with let them run automobiles without any evidence that they have the necessary skill and presence of mind and intelligence to handle them safely. Ten times as many people are killed every year by automobile accidents as are killed by the accidental discharge of firearms. We have not yet learned how to control the motor car. ---------- «----------- BAD MEN BACK IN JAIL - After -^sensational jail break Andrew Morgan and Frank Fallon are back behind the bars in the county jail. They knocked out the jailer with a stick of wood and escaped. After a chase of several days through the wooded country west of Eugene, without food or shelter, these two bold, bad men were as meek as lambs. Sheriff Tom Swarts and the state officers were after them day and night. Their capture was a good piece of police work. The capture of one when he came into the road to read a sign post direction and the other later by two farm boys was a poor climax after a sensational break. These two prisoners may be “tough eggs” in the city but after a few days in the wide open spaces with the officers at their heels, they were complete “washouts.” If Chicago had nearby mountains to chase their city- bred gangsters into in a few months they could completely eliminate them. Cold and hunger are the polices’ best allies. —«- Cleveland broke a precedent when he asked for the second bathroom in the White House.

I know you don't think so, but she has, all the same." “ I t ’s not so bad," Dennis said grudgingly, and then w ith awkward grace, he added, “ It suits you.’ “ O h, do you think so?" She ran to him and lifted her fare to be kissed. “ I t ’s such a shame your h oli day is being spoiled," she added moment later. “ W h a t w ill you do w ithout me?" Dennis thrust a hand into his coat pocket. " I heard from Stornaway this m orning— he’s coming to town for a few days. H e wanted us to dine w ith him to-night.” H e broke off and added, almost too urgently: "Stay till to-m orrow .” "O h , I'd love to, but if M other is ill------ I'l l pack now. Yo u go and look up a train. Barbara w ill be sorry, won’t she? W e ’d planned so many things.” Dennis did not answ er; he stood watching her w ith moody eyes. Suddenly he went to her and took her by the arms. “ Y o u ’re a good little soul,” he said. " I love you,” Pauline said w ith shining eyes. She felt perfectly happy, even though she was leaving Dennis. She was sure he would miss her terribly, but after all it was only for a few days, and then they would be togeth er again « • • Barbara was dressing when Paul ine rang her up “ G o o d -b y e l"’ F o r a moment Barbara's heart seemed to stand ■till.

" I ’m going by the twelve-five train— it’s the best. Dennis has booked a seat and is coming to see me off.” Then he was not going w ith her. Barbara’s pulses quieted.
