In other words, It than 1 per cent cf the city's 1.CC1 streets were the sites of nearly f the night fatalities. Main Street, the longest of this heavily traveled group, accounted for 31 of the fatalities and it is interesting to note that only three of these fatal accidents occurred in the section where the best lighting in the exists. There is no indication that daytime accidents are concentrated in any particular spot3 so that the logical conclusion to be drawn is that poor visibility exists at night due to improper lighting.

NEW YORK, April 8 BUSINESS Maybe it's a case of "wishful buying," but the stock market, which has been pursuing a gradual upward course, bounced up handsomely last week. This can mean only that the folks who keep their fingers right on the pulse of business and risk their dollars on their judgement of whether things are getting better, getting worse, or standing still have discovered reasons for feeling bolder. And they don't do their buying on a "wishful" basis. General business ac-- . tlvity continued to decline in March, though not so rapidly as in January and February, Automobile production did not step up as fast as customary in March, but nevertheless the output was 15 per cent tetter than in that month of 1939, and for the whole first quarter, was 24 per cent ahead of 1939's first quarter. Brightest spot was the revalation of Chairman A. W. Robertson of Westinghouse Electric that bookings have run 37 per cent ahead of 1939, with refrigerator sales for the first quarter the best in the company's history. That's significant, in view of the popular no ' tion that pretty near everyone who's going to get a refrigerator has got it, by now. J WASHINGTON Weather conditions, changing export markets, and increased use of power farm machinery those are the main factors behind some important shifts in American farmers' planting plans. Cotton takes the biggest slash, about 40 per ' cent, from an average of 44 million to 25 million the last acres in 1925-3three years. Blame low prices, caused by loss of exports. Corn conies down about 20 per cent, to just under 88 million acres, this year, against 110 e million for 1930-3- 3 due to better yields, low prices, and fewer 0 per-acr- work animals on the farms. The 1940 wheat harvest will be about 46 million acres, compared to the 65 to 80 million that has prevailed since the World War. The fall drought which forced abandonment of 15 million acres of winter wheat accounts for most of the difference. And tobacco planting is cut by 21.5 per cent, the direct result of the British embargo. Most striking move in the opposite direction Is soy beans, which in 10 years has sprung from an almost negligible status of present rank ing as seventh largest crop, with more than 10J million acres planted this year. grain-consumi- SAYING IT SIMPLY Around the turn of the century a stockholder was a rare personage. Not so today. It's estimated that one out of every six adults holds shares of partial ownership In business enterprises. Consequently, more and more, business men are endeavoring to Issue annual reports that "make sense" to the growing number of stockholders, many of them women, who are not at all versed in the science of accounting. In the 1939 crop there is a heartening increase in the number of reports. Deserving special mention, we think, are those of Borden company, dairy products; housing materials; U. S. Stee-lEquitable Life Insurance Society; American Rolling Mill (steel); Caterpillar Tractor, and North American utility holding company. This latter report not only simplifies the text in answering the stockholders' "Information, riease," but starts off with a detailed index to make things easy to find, and its improved typography and layout increase "eye appeal." In another report Celanese Cor poration makes special appeal to feminine stockholders by including samples of new spring dress fabrics, 1938 ABSTRACTOR Established 40 Yean RRIGIIAM CITY, UTAH 119 110 110 75 58 73 131 91 82 57 44 52 times as many persons are employed in industry there as in ag riculture. . . and in value of products industry is nearly four times as much as agriculture. . .

Horse Sense from The Marines. "The present European war is one big game of international crime with two groups of empires making faces at each other across the 'lines.' They don't dare fight lest they tear eaeh other to bits and Stalin walks in and pjeks up the pieces." So said Major General Smedley Butler of the United State3 Marines during his lecture in Kingsbury Hall at the University of Utah last week. The official went. on to say that there is small cause for alarm in America over the Euro-- , pean war, since the past 1000 years have seen many major conflicts over' there, and many divisions of Europe by various powers, but only once has it actively affected this country. He feels that America's view should be optimistic and impersonr.1. but always wjth the firm determination to pro-- ; tect our own land. The general, whose work has been largely with crime prevention and detection, defended the law enforcement agencies of the country, stating his belief that not more than five per cent of the "cops" are "crooked," but politics, he asserted, can never be the police. Major Butler stressed the necessity of crime eradication by figures showing that 4,000,-00- 0 Americans are criminals, and 189,000 are parolees with criminal records. The only ways of beating crjme, he said, are through the home, the school, and the church. Epworth League Evening Worship We Give - - JUST CALL A vi!e Irs. Py, l.Ml hs. Goff Mr !'

NEW 'NUMBERS GAME' When sales of those miniature auto license plates used on key chains spurted last month from 65,000 to 135.000 the manufacturer was pleased, but puzzled. Now the secret is out collegians have abandoned their goldfish-eatin- g fad and are now making a hobby of wearing the tiny replicas in many ways. Miss Donna Lewis appeared on the University of Southern California campus one day wearing a necklace and bracelet of these tabs bearing the numbers of her boy friends The fad caught on in a hurry, and the plates began appearing as hat ornaments, shoe buckles, lapel clips and s even as "handles" on hookless on sports wear.
