The Oregon Department of Mo tor Vehicles, trallic salety divi sion, announced Friday that traf fic accidents cost Oregon an es timated 60 million dollars for 1938. It explains that it uses the Na tional Safety Council statisticians' estimate that each traffic death costs $135,000. Under the "calcu lable costs of motor vehicle acci dents" is included wage loss, med ical expense, overhead cost of in surance and property damage. The department estimates that the cost figure for 1!)58 is down about four million dollars from the 11157 figure "because 24 fewer per sons were killed last year than in 1057." However, the department states It has completed its figures only through November, 1958, which had I he highest mileage death rate of 1958 (8.2 persons killed In each 100 million miles of high way driven). The report said "the death rate for December will not be avail able for several weeks" yet the department estimated the total to be 444 for 1(158, fewer by 24 than Uie 1957 figure. A quick check with The Associ ated Press shows the actual figure to be 448 for 1958, so there were obviously only 20 fewer persons killed on Oregon's highways last year than the year before. At the $135,000 figure, that would mean that traffic death costs had dropped $2,700,000. But when you get up inlo figures that big, a cou ple of million doesn't actually mean a great deal. If there is to be an economy drive throughout state bureaus, it might be pointed out that the clerical time required for getting out two separate releases last week to all new media on the state might have been used to bring the department's figures up to date. However, the cost involved in traffic accidents and traffic fatal ltics is staggering and certainly points up the need for increased Individual concern in helping to lower the total. said. "They take so much time to clean. "The European woman has more of a sense of repose. Her time is more of her own even though she lacks many time-saving gadgets." Miss McKenna expressed belie! a European woman puts up more readily with failure on the hus band's part because "she feels she is partly to blame herself. "In Ireland you find women whj arc happily married to men who would be called ne'er-do-wells here. It doesn't matter to these wives that they have to go out and find the work,'' she said. "It seems to me that the spirit ual union is more important than whether your husband is a suc cess." Asked her own philosophy of life, Siobhan said: "Never let the gilt wear off your world." Miss McKenna is married to Irish Actor Dennis O'Dea. They have a son, Donnacha. 10. growers. Until 1930 the pipelines carried crude oil almost exclusive ly. Then some short lines were built to carry products. By ltuo such lines were extended to carry about 6 per cent of the total sup ply. Since the war there has been rapid extension of this form of transportation. They are now found in most large industrial areas. The products range from bulk oil to fuel a transatlantic liner lo gasoline for the motorist, to a highly specialized lubricant used a laboratory. Woniiiii'N Country By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (AP) "It's a wom an's country this in a blatant way," said Siobhan McKenna. But the Irish actress feels that European women in some ways have more real power and arc more content with their lot than American women. Miss McKenna flew here from Dublin to appear on TV In "What Every Woman Knows." This soapy little drama has prob ably ruined more masculine lives than the three-martini business lunch. It upholds the thesis, dear to all women, that behind every successful dunderhead lies the guiding hand of a shy but firm wife. Partly as a result ol this play, wives have been thrusting their sticky little paws for two gen erations inlo areas it men's lives they really know nothing about. What is the difference in this re spect between Europenn and Amer ican woman? "The European woman is more subtle in maneuvering her man into the kind of action that will make hin a great man or at least a belter man), without him realizing It," said Miss McKenna "The European woman seems to be a quiet little mouse with no great brainpower. She never seems lo push herself, but sudden ly you find out that 't Is she who has the ideas in the family and her husband executes them, Miss McKenna doubts that the wider public activity ol American women really makes them much more powerful. "The European wile is just as influential, it not more so," she observed. "Hul she doesn't appear in public so much. She prefers to slay behind the scenes and et her husband take the spotlight. She prefers to be the woman the man comes home to.' The American wile Miss Mc Kenna admits, is much more adept at entertaining her husband's boss "I'm not so sure that this works as well as operating the home from the of lice. A man has to have Ins Independence. His home should slay his kingdom. It should he an island of calm lo him not Just another salesroom for his ca rcor." she said The lush actress, who has hazel green eyes, an unruly mop ol dark brown hair and looks like a deck led elf, is also dubious about tli advantage ol the American wile's household gadgets "I feel most ol these modern ills in the kitchen are more Iron ble than they are worth" she SM'ilix'(l .lol By SAM DAWSON AP Business News Analyst NEW YORK (AP) - Guessing how much oil the world is going to use in any particular period is a highly specialized job in the petroleum industry. Getting crude oil and its products to the point of demand on time ,is another Both can affect your pockelbook And politics and weather can influence both. Examples: 1. Closing of the Suez Canal due lo international politics disrupted the normal flow of Mid East oil lo western Europe. The result was a busy workout lor U. S. oil producers, followed by higher prices for American consumers. 2. Unusually bitter weather of late In many parts of this nation is leading to a rise in fuel oil prices in some places and pros pects of Ihe same elsewhere. 3. Threats of an upcoming strike against some oil companies short ly also could mean some short ages, higher prices some places Every day about 700 million gal lons of oil products are delivered lo consumers in the world ( this side of the Iron Curtain. To get it lo Ihem the oil companies first take some educated guesses as to where the demand will be. and how much in each spot. Then they turn to fleets of ocean tankers, river barges, motor tank trucks railroad tank cars, and pipelines. The last, being largely invisible, go mostly unnoticed In the United States. And, too, here they run a poor second to a much more ex tensive pipeline system, the 500. 000 miles of natural gas lines. but oil pipelines continue to grow, Jersey Standard Oil reports in the forthcoming issue of its magazine, The Lamp. It notes par ticularly the significant increase in the number of pumping stations run by remote control Pipelines themselves are going automatic. Volume of crude oil flowing from the well to the main pipelines can be measured auto matically by meters. And pipelines are growing larg or in ammeter as well as in length. This allows control sla tions to be built as far as 200 miles apart, as against the lormer maximum of 50 miles. Five million barrels of crude oil and oil products 'now pour each day into thousands of separate slow-moving streams, part of a network that covers 190,000 miles in this country. They carry 77 per cent ol the crude oil produced in the United Slates and Ifl per cent of the re fined products sold. Totai ton miles a ton-mile is one ton of oil transported one mile' now ac count for around 17 per cent of all the freight hauled between U. S. cities. Oil product lines were slow Slock Swindle By ELMER C. WALZER UPI Financial Editor NEW YORK (UPI) - Take a small boiler room. Add a tele phone, a glib, honcy-tongucd salesman, and some worthless securities and you have the makin's of a stock swindle. If you read the Securities & Exchange Commission's 260-paqe annual report to Congress you'll find that these boiler rooms get a big take from the poor little people who want to get rich quick. A boiler room is the name ap plied to a fly-by-night, phony stock sales headquarters. It pro ably got its name from the high pressure steam of a boiler room The salesmen apply the high pressure method to their victims and often win good dollars for bad stocks. The term was originated in the 1920s, disappeared after the big market bust, and reappeared in the mid 1930s. The SEC has eliminated the big boiler rooms through its enforce ment agencies and those of state agencies. But the little ones are flourishing on a sort of hit-and-run basis, moving from state 'o state and often operating out of hotel rooms. The little boiler room js diffi cult to eradicate, says the Com mission, which has a lot of other jobs to do. "In the last resort," says its report, "the problem of boiler rooms can be eliminated only il the investing public in dealing with " unknown stock salesmen evaluate their representations with an attitude of hard-headed skopticism." The New York Slock Exchange is running a constant campaign against all sorts of stock swin dlers, including the boiler room. Not long ago it called attention to the fact that your telephone can be your best friend and your worst encm'. The telephone becomes your enemy when it gets you to buy worthless stock or your hard- earned dollars. The more Ihe slock market boils the greater the success of the swindlers, it appears. They seem to get their best nibbles when prices of Ihe exchanges are in a decline but advances in the leading shares don't deter them either. The SEC is trying to protect the investors and would-be invest ors. It has Ihe job of enforcement of federal laws providing mil and fair disclosure with respect to securities sold in interstate and foreign commerce and to prevent fraud and inequitable and unlair practices in the securities mar kets. That's a big order and it can't do police work to save the little fellows from themselves. But it has laid down a set of ten rules printed on KO.lKHi lin vestors beware" posters, and If these are followed Ihe chances of getting caught by the crooked stock salesmen are small He.e they arc: "1. Before buying . . . think. "2. Don'l deal with strange se curities firms. (Consult your broker). '3. Beware of securities offered over the telephone by strangers. 4. Don't listen to high pressure sales talk. '5. Beware of promises of spec tacular profits. "6. Be- sure you undersland the risk of loss. "7. Don't buy on tips and ru mors. . . . Get the facts. 8. Tell the salesman to: Put all the information and advice in writing and mail it to you . . . save it. "9. If you don't understand all the written information . . . con sult a person who does. "10. Give at least as much consideration to buying securities as you would the purchase of any valuable property.' SHORT RIBS By Frank O'Neal Ho Itnlkv ItHiuvioi By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D. It is often hard lo know where a physical condition leaves off and an emotional problem begins. This is illustrated in a letter from Mrs. J. She says that her 4-year-old daughter attended Bible school one day and was ill the next and could not go. The third day she was excited about going, but when the man came to pick her up she cried and kicked and would not get in the car. The mother says that she is punishing the little girl, by mak ing her stay in her room all day and asks if this is right. I should like to say first that I do not think that it is right to make a 4-year-old little girl stay in her room all day. A day is terribly long at that age. It seems to me that Ihe punishment .does not fit the crime. There can be any number of reasons why the 4-year-old de cided she did not want to go back to Bible school. She may not have been feeling well from her one-day illness. She may have had some unpleasant experience with one of the other children, or she may have found the school too advanced for her tender age. I believe that the problem is neither to punish the little girl, nor force her unduly, but to try to find out why she does not want to go. If her reasons are good, per haps this experience can he post poned until she is a bit older. It is also possible that once the rca son is found it can be readily corrected. But some reason is surely there. A question comes from another mother who asks whether there is any better way of selecting toys lor her children than just looking at them in the store. This question can be answered bv referring to the new booklet entitled "Toys," recently released by the National Society for Crip pled Children and Adults (11 South La Salle. St., Chicago 3, Illinois price $1). This booklet is to help parents select toys in conformity with the child's growth and development. It is particularly useful for par enls of children who are physi cally handicapped or awkward, since it includes the choice of toys for the training of reaching, grasp ing, eye and hand coordination, and the like. However, it should also be extremely helpful to the parents of normal children. Letters to this column frequent ly make me feel sorry both for parents and for children. ' One lady wrote recently, "I have j a friend who has a darling 3-months-old baby girl. My friend lias bad nerves and her baby sometimes has the colic. This up sets the mother very much and she loses her' temper, screaming at the child and slapping its rear very hard. At other times she is loving toward the baby. But 1 feel that she can hurt this child physically or emotionally." Colic in infants is generally the result of air in the digestive tract, w hich causes sharp pain. When the child gets a little older this disap pears since the air is expelled readily. I am sure that the mother ol this, or any other colicky child, gets upset by the crying. However, the baby cannot help it, and it can only be upsetting to all con cerned for the mother to lose her temper. A pediatrician should be consulted and may be able to make some suggestions to rrduce the colic and thereby help both moth er and child.
