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. M., as
well as of our county, and we wish
to make permanent record of his
worth;
Be It Therefore Resolved that we,
his brother craftsmen, at this time
pause in sorrowful submission to re
call his many virtues and to drop a
tear at his departure.
Thomas J. Matlock had the vision
and courage of the true western plo
neei; tempered by the restraint of his
Masonic vows.
We extend our deepest sympathy
to the family and relatives of our
departed brother in their bereave
ment. Resolved, that a copy of this reso
lution be sent the family of the de
ceased; that a copy be entered upon
our records and a copy given the
press for publication.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT
Whereas, it has pleased God in
His wisdom to call from his earthly?
labor our brother Edward F. Day,
and,
Whereas, Brother ' Day has, for
many years, been a faithful anil
valued member of Heppner Lodge
(No. 69, A. F. and A. M., and it is
fitting and right that we, a3
Masons, make proper and merited ac
knowledgment and record of the
I high esteem and fraternal love in
which we hold him ;
Resolved, That, while we humbly
I bow to the decree of the Great Archi
tect, we are filled with sorrow at the
passing of our brother.
I Edward F. Day was a true Mason,
j whose daily life exemplified the ex
1 alted teachings of our craft. Higher
J euloyy we cannot pronounce over his
' lifeless clay.
I To the family and relatives of our
brother we extend our deepest sym
pathy in this their hour of sorrow.
I Let a copy of this resolution he
transmitted to the family of the de
ceased, a copy be entered upon the
