FOURTEEN THOUSAND AUTO FATALITIES Figures compiled by the national bureau of Casualty and Surereveal that 14,000 people were killed in America Underwriters ty last year as a result of automobile accidents. This represents an increase of ,600, or 2 per cent, over 1921. Automobile accidents in 1922, were responsible for 67 per cent of all the vehicular fatalities within the last sixty years, more than four times the numebr caused by railroad trains, and seven times those due to street railways. The only ray of sunshine in the report is revealed in the fact that while the number of automobiles have increased five fold since 1915, the total of automobile fatalities has little more than doubled. Education apparently is the only remedy since traffic regulation Carelessness at railroad crossings is one of has proved a failure. the greatest causes of automobile fatalities and this in spite of the fact that transportation companies do everything in their power to keep people off the track.

GRIEF BOWED TOWN BURIES FIRE VICTIMS Camden, South Carolina, is grief stricken over the death of children, parents and friends in a school house fire. It seventy-siis useless to elaborate on the details of the fire which resulted from a rickity fastening causing an oil lamp to fall to the floor during an entertainment tbeing given by the children. The suffering caused by such fires as this is beyond understanding and yet almost weekly we read of such school house tragedies where one or more children meet death. The only difference between this fire and others is in the number killed, and this will bring it focibly to the attention of the wholt nation. The National Board of Fire Underwriters has been doing every thing in its power to show the American people the criminal wast which they permit each year when they allow 15,000 persons anc some $500,000,000 in property to be wiped out by fire, when abou' 90 per cent of such death and loss is preventable. The Underwriters Laboratories in Chicago has been testing every kind of building and household equipment as to its fire proo! or fire resisting qualities and its advice on these matters is free tc the public. Carelessness with fire is equally dangerous in a little town like v jCamden or in a great city like New York. Let this awful disaster be a warning to every household in the land to be careful with fire and let parents demand that public offi cials see that school houses and public buildings are properly safe guarded so that another Camden catastrophe cannot occur. x i ONE STRIKES COST FROM COAST TO COAST Business on the Pacific coast in March reached record proportions, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. Labor is fully employed and wages are advancing in all industries. Individual deposits Retail trade is 20 percent a head of last year. in banks are 26 per cent greater than a year ago and are considerably above the peak of deposits in the fall of 1920. Jumping across the continent to New England, one learns from the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston that net sales in dollars in leading Boston stores were larger' than in March, 1920, when the The report shows commodity prices were higher than at present. that this condition prevails throughout New England cities and is undoubtedly a reflection of the vastly improved industrial conditions and numerous wage increases which have been made throughout New England. Minneapolis reports sales of farm implements and equipment throughout the Northwest this spring have loeen 75 percent greater The J. I. Case Company, of Racine, Wis., the than a year ago. largest manufacturers of threshing machines in the world, reports Kitchen cabinet sales this year 50 per cent ahead of last year. factories in Indiana are working full time and have made an increase of 10 per cent in wages. According to the Illinois employment agencies, there are one hundred jobs offered in that state now with only 85 job hunters. One year ago there were 141 job hunters registered for every one In 1921 there were 216 job hunters registered for hundred jobs. Over 35,000 men and women working every one hundred jobs. in in the clothing industry Chicago have been given an increase of from 0 to 16 per cent.

The condition of state banks in Kansas, according to a quarterly statement issued by the state banking department, reflects increased prosperity among the farmers, as during the period from December last to March 7, there was a gain of $6,000,000 of deposits of those banks. Reports of 260 life insurance companies, covering the year ending December 3 , show that it was the largest year in the history of life insurance business. One reflection of the nations prosperity is given in the production and sale of shoes. More than 95,000,000 pairs of footwear were produced during the first three months of this year, an increase of 20.6 per cent over the quantity manufactured during the corres ponding period last year.

But cabbages and stored eggs do not furnish as inflamatory material to wave before the public as does sugar, neither can the rge of big business be so easily hurled at them . Political interference with business is having the usual result in the case of sugar. Prices have been advancing ever since federal estimation began. We will see the same thing take place in regard to fuel oils and gudoiine if the campaign for drastic government control and regulation of the oil industry should be carried out. i . lowing guarantee The original purchaser Woodrow Washer No. r.
