THE HEPPNER HERALD, HEPPNER, OREGON Tuesday, May 15, 1923 PAGE TWO THE HEPPNER HERALD AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER S. A. PATTISON, Catered at the Heppner, Oregon, WHY PEOPLE ARE KILLED BY AUTOMOBILES One large reason is that the driver is criminally careless. Another reason is that the pedestrian is careless not as criminally careless, perhaps, but with equally painful re sults to himself. These arc the two main reasons, it is as serted, lor the death of some 14,000 citizens of the United States, as a result of automobile accidents, last year. And, if there is anything in statistics, the same two reasons will be chiefly responsible for the death of more than 14,000 persons this year. Bad crossings, bad lighting, and acci dents that seem the product of nothing but malign cpinci dence, will account for a certain number of killings, but the great majority could be avoided, we are assured, if both drivers and pedestrains wouid live up to the simple motto, "Take care!" iiarron Collier, Special Duty Police Com missioner, in charge of the Bureau of Public Safety, New York City, where the automobile deaths average more than one a day, has prepared the following suggestions "for the thoughtful consideration of all motorists:" Slow down and proceed cautiously in passing intersect ing streets, blind crossings, schools and bridges. Make a full slop before srossing steam or interurban rail road tracks. Never drive past a street-car which is unloading passen gers. Equip your tires with non-skid devices, and proceed with care when streets are wet and slippery. Keep brakes properly adjusted and equalized. When preparing to turn or stop, never stop suddenly, and, always give a signal. Look behind before backing car. In passinsr a vehicle going the same direction turn QUt at least 75 feet in back of it, so that there may be a clear view of the right side. Do not try to pass if another vehi cle is coming from the opposite direction. Do not try to pass another auto going in the same direc tion while turning a crossing. Never drive fast with a worn or soft tire. Be careful with lights, not blinding- drivers of oncoming vehicles, and never failing to keep the tail-light exposed as a warning to oilier drivers. A ways drive slow enough in passing children, vehicles and horses, so that a stop can be quickly made if necessary. These recommendations are made on the basis of Mr. Collier's wide acquaintance with accidents. The advice is aimed chiefly at the drivers who have to bear the brunt of the responsibility for deaths by automobiles. Neverthe less, Mr. Collier points out, of the forty-eight deaths caus ed by motor vehicle street accidents in New York City in March, thirty-one were caused by pedestrians crossing streets at other than the proper crossings. People take chances that they shouldn't take, and this is particularly true, says the New York commissioner, of children. '"The statement that jay-walking is responsible for practically half of New York City's serious accidents," says the New York Times, "is borne out by the police reports." The Times writer continues, dealing with Mr. Collier and his safety bureau: A little more care and thought might have prevented all of those fatalities, holding the death-list down to fifty thrve, or 63.09 per cent, of the actual total of eighty-four. The safety bureau also wisely recognizes the fact that badlv conditioned cars are a menace to the streets, and since January 1 a squad of six; men, six patrols and one lieutenant, all expert automobile mechanics, has been ex amining brakes on automobiles. "During the first throe months," said Commissioner Col lier," "this squad examined the brakes on 12,866 cars. The drivers of l,(x).t cars were found to have one defective brake each, and they wore warned to get their brakes fixed and report again within three days to the squad, which they did. The drivers of 377 cars having two bad brakes wore summoned to court, and every one was fined from $-'5 to $30. The driver of one oar was fined !jL'5 for the first offense and, when caught a second time, was fined $50 and warned that if he were convicted again, he would be sent to jail. "More recently a special squad of ten policemen has been assigned to investigating accidents between vehicles and pedestrians. It was found that often if the reporting of the accidents were left solely to the policemen in the neigh borhood it would be impossible for him to get all of the facts or get witnesses in the case. Therefore the special squad of ten men is being sent out to follow up accidents and report to the bureau. As a result many old offenders are being found and reported to the traffic court, where .Jheir cases are speedily disposed of. One man was found by this squad who, on eleven occasions, has been charged with traffic violations." A squad of fourteen, police lieutenants, operating direct ly under the bureau, devotes its whole time to spreading saTety information, particularly among jay-walkers and automobile drivers. They not only warn jay-walkers di rectly of their danger, but they also talk with the 6.000 uniformed patrolmen regarding the causes of accidents, and the patrolmen pass along the word to the citizens. The v,ooo Boy Scouts in the city, it is announced, arc beginning to co-operate with the safety bureau, and the police department has just issued a Boy Scout safety ser vice booklet with twenty-three rules on accident preven tion of various kinds, with methods of procedure, in this connection it is reported that: One of the most important things that the Boy Scouts arc preparing to do is to form safety patrols at public schools. "We believe," says Commissioner Collier, "that this new relationship between the boy and the police pa- Editor and Publisher Postotlce as second-class Matter trolmen & co-operative relation based on confidence and service will be of great value in other directions. Both the Scouts and the patrolmen stand for the enforcement of law and order." t SUGAR DOMESTIC AND EXPORT A correspondent of The Financial Review reports re ceiving a card from a brokerage firm quoting fine granu lated sugar at $6.30 per hundred pounds f. o. b. New York. The same card quotes the same sugar for export at $6 per hundred. The explanation of The Review is that the rea son for the difference is that Cuban sugars are refined in bond for export, hence pay no duty. Here is another "Pittsburg plus" in a different line. It is not necessary that the six-cent sugar for export be Cuban. It means that export sugar is sold at wholesale for 3.3 cents a poujid less than the same sugar is offered for domestic consumption, w,hether imported or not. Two facts are plainly seen in this difference: The do mestic producer receives no benefit from the tariff, since his ravy must produce a profit at the export price, while the domestic consumer pays the tariff, whether he uses do mestic or imported. The refiner thus gets a "tariff plus" on his domestic supply. RESOLUTIONS OP RESPECT Whereas, the call has again come to our craft, this time summoning our brother, Thomas J. Matlock from the frailty of age and the infirmity of disease to the haven of peace and rest, and, Whereas, Brother Matlock was oie of the pioneers of Heppner Lodge No. 69, A. F. and A.
