, It is truly marvelous the man
ner in which federal and stale
bureaus can reach out and ex
tract statistics particularly big
figures.
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."

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.

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

household gadgets

NEW YORK (AP) - Guessing

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

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.
