most of the winter visiting at the
home of her mother in southern
California, and report an enjoyable
time. Had they anticipated the kind
of weather prevailing since their re
turn they would have planned to
stay a little longer and attend the
opening of the worlds fair at San
Francisco, she said.
Jim Burnside was carrying a
mighty sore hand in a sling when

a heavy water pump fell on the left

trips to town to have the injury
dressed.

Tuesday and Wednesday from Moro,

Heavily traveled highways were
the scenes of 122 fatal accidents,
while 55 occurred in residential dis

Lightly traveled highways accounted
for 39 fatal mishaps.
One hundred forty fatal accidents

THE;
Younger Drivers
Show Improvement
Against a background of marked
improvement in Oregon's traffic
record during the past year, re
flected by sizeable decreases in ac
cidents, injuries and deaths, several
distinct trends in the mode of oe
currence of highway mishaps are
revealed by the annual accident
summary this week by Secretary
of State Earl Snell.
An improvement in the records of
drivers in the younger age groups
was an outstanding development,
contributing heavily to the decline
in traffic deaths. Drivers under 40
years of age formed only 63.8 per
cent of those involved in fatal ac
cidents last year, whereas in 1937
they represented 70.8 per cent of the
total. Educational work in the high
schools, and through the radio and
press, is having a strong effect
among the state's younger drivers,
in SnelFs opinion.
The decrease was also effected
chiefly in pedestrian and non-col-
. lision type accidents, with deaths in
each case dropping 21 per cent as
compared with 1937.
. The number of male drivers in
volved in fatal accidents fell from
354 in 1937 to 341 last year, while
the number of female drivers in
volved rose from 23 to 39. Male driv
ers also showed a 13.6 improvement
in the total number of accident
while female drivers improved 8.4
per cent.
The state's doctors, lawyers and
other professional men did more to
improve their accident rating than
any other occupational group. They
brought about a drop of 28 per cent
in their accident total, and of 47
per cent in their fatal accident in
volvement.
Bus drivers did a big job for safe
ty, cutting the number of accidents
involving buses by 45.2 per cent.
Trucks were involved in 27.9 fewer
accidents and passenger cars in 10.9
fewer. Light deliveries showed no
improvement, while motorcycle and
bicycle accidents increased.
Sunday remained far the deadliest
day. Eighty-six fatal accidents oc
New Poisons May
Lead to Better
Insect Control
From a row of little bottles of
chemicals and from an insectary hid
away in the basement of the ag
ricultural building at Oregon State
college may come the answers to
some of the serious insect control
problems that beset the farms and
homes of the country.
The chemistry and entomology
departments in the school of science
have been making a new approach
to the insect control problams on a
more fundamental basis than has
heretofore been used, at least in
this state. Following the accepted
fact that present insecticides are too
limited in scope to cope with all
modern problems, the departments
have for the past two years been
using a modest grant from the gen
eral research grant from the state
system of higher education for the
development of entirely new chem
ical poisons.
During this period more than 130
organic substances selected from
the various families of nitrogen and
carbon compounds have been de
veloped and tested under labora
tory conditions by the use of. more
than 20,000 insects reared in the in
sectary. The new compounds are
each tested as to the effect on insects
in direct comparison with arsenate
of lead, nicotine sulfate and other
standard insecticides.
Between 20 and 30 of those tested
have proven very poisonous to many
of the worst pests. About half of
these compounds are believed to be
entirely new to science. The next
step, following the development of
these as a "pure science" project, will
be to try the most promising ones
out in the field under "applied sci
ence" conditions.
The chemical work has been un
der the direct supervision of E. C.
Callaway, organic chemist and toxi-
