ACCIDENTS DUE TO POOR BRAKES, CLAIM "The incredible stupidity of pedestrians and defective brakes on motor vehicles are given as the two leading causes of automobile accidents in a highly interesting analysis of New York traffic conditions by Barron Collier, recently appointed Public Safety Commissioner of that city," observes E. T. Strong, general sales manager of the Buick Motor company. "In summing up the first proposition, Mr. Collier aptly states that while a small minority of Americans are careless of the safety and lives of bothers, the great majority of Americans seem to be careless of their own." Mr. Collier offers as a remedy for the latter condition, constant educational propaganda in the schools, the home and elsewhere, also laws similar to those prevailing in France, for Jay walking. "Although Mr. Collier does not offer specifically any other remedy than frequent inspection to correct the evil of defective or inefficient braking, so widely prevalent, the inferences to be drawn from his statement are unmistakable. "The 'ifs' of erstwhile opponents of four-wheel brakes, which are being speedily disposed of by experience with thousands of four-wheel brake cars in actual service today, These bugabous seem at best trivial in view of Mr. Collier's warning, echoed in police circles throughout the world, that 'something' more must be done. "As a matter of fact 'something' has been done in the growing adoption of four wheel brakes by manufacturers of the kind who have too much prestige at stake to risk any ill considered experiments. "Mr. Collier rightly observes that the constant increase in the number of motor vehicles demands more rapid traffic movement and it naturally follows that if more speed is to be permitted the ability to stop quickly is imperative. "Mr. Collier's further recommendation that heavy trucking through the streets be confined as much as possible to the hours between midnight and daylight is a sound thought."

It Will Prolong Life but Tire; It Prevents Rust’s Work HOBOES WAY TO HARVARD COLLEGE CAMBRIDGE, Oct. 13.—With 13c in his pocket when he started, Gilbert L. Parks, who hobbed from Oklahoma to Cambridge to attend Harvard college, arrived in this city and received an official welcome from Mayor Quinn. Parks explained to Mayor Quinn how he made his way from Oklahoma to New York city on 13c, but rode into Boston on a train because he feared to shock the delicate sensibilities of persons in and about Boston. The youth declared Chicago was the first big city he ever was in. He traveled from Chicago to Buffalo working as a deck hand on a lake steamship, and after that came odd jobs along the highway, with lifts from friendly motorists. Making a little money in New York, Parks thought he had better ride into Boston in style, so he boarded a train. Parks, who neither smokes nor drinks, was congratulated by the mayor, who told the youth he was bound to succeed.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE The Plain Dealer: — In keeping with the spirit and object of "Fire Prevention week," we know of no better way than try to awaken the interest of Young America in an effort to reduce the national ash pile, that year after year grows larger and larger. Since it is a proven fact that 50 per cent of our enormous losses by fire, in the United States, is caused by carelessness, it would seem that campaign of education is absolutely necessary to prevent this appalling waste. We find that it is practically useless to try to impress the average adult, except he has been through a fire; that eternal vigilance is required to safeguard against man's most insidious enemy—fire. For that reason we believe that if results are to be obtained, it must be through the education of the rising generation. With that view in mind, the Orange County Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Co. offers three cash prizes to the pupils of the grammar schools of Orange county for the three best papers, respectively, on the following question: "How would you safeguard the home and the farm from the posh bility of fire, resulting from the use of modern appliances and inventions?" The prizes will be $15, $10 and $5. The contest is open to all the pupils of the grammar schools of Orange county. The only requirements are that the papers must not be over 500 words in length, and they be mailed to the office of the company, 216 Spurgeon blvd., Santa Ana, not later than Oct. 20. The winning papers will be published together with the name of the writers, and the name of the schools, which the successful contestants attend. In the past five years the people of the United States have sustained They are planning a trip to Seattle, Wash., in the near future after which they will locate here.
