The ghastly significance of this remark, repeated twice In crescendo, at last struck home. No. my dear, nol lie's been here an hour, came In a carriage, the extravagant old creature."

From 5 to 15 years is the period when the greatest number of fatal accidents occur for both sexes. The chart shows the age distribution of automobile deaths for men and women as given in the latest mortality figures prepared by the government. These figures for the prevention of accidents, emphasize the need for more playgrounds and increased safety education among school children. Complete statistics are not passible since only 85 per cent of the United States keeps mortality records. About twenty-tw- o thousand a year is generally conceded to be the annual number of fatalities. For 8621 males known to have been killed in one year there were only a third as many women or 2845, in spite of the fact that the male population is only 4 per cent greater than the female. This chart does not take into consideration the 6C0.000 Americans who are injured annually by automobiles. Such figures are not available except in certain states, but that boys and girls again make up the bulk of such casualties is indicated by the records of 8, New York state kept for the first nine months of 1925. Here of the 38,392 injured, were under 15 or practically one-thir-d years of age. 11,-76- FIRST UPTURN FOB I Continued From 1urc Three) hills away from tin )erni.mer.t u.itcr eonraos, where the stoek lias been foie-e- d PURELY PERSONAL dry-iik- n $6.-2- 5; m l(iO-Miu- 215-pou- T2.-7- 5; 96-pou- sence Feed the Hens and Get Results Insure your prospects for a good upply of eggs the coming spring by using our chicken feed.
