PAGE FOUB PLATTSMOUTH SEMI - WEEKLY JOUENAI THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1938. Safe Driver Reward Plan is Very Successful Safe Drivers Make Gain in Better Insurance Rates as Result of This Practice. Eighty-eight out of 100 insured motorists in 97 of the 107 rutins territories where the Safe Driver Howard 1'Ian Is now operating, it is calculated, will pay net liability pre miums lower than those previously in effect although rates, based on acci dent and loss experience, -went up February 1 in nearly half the terri tories. Kates were lowered or un changed in the rest of the terri tories. This is shown in a survey of new basic liability rates issued by the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters in conjunction with the Safe Driver Reward Plan. This new program was instituted February 1 in 27 states and the Dis trict of Columbia by 32 stock com panies members of the bureau and provides u return of 15 per cent of the premium if no losses occur under the policy within a. year from the date it is effective. The bureau pointed out that whether it was higher, unchanged or lower, an addition of 4.S per cent had botfi made to the base rate in each territory which, while it ap pears to be an arbitrary increase over the level indicated by accident and loss experience alone, actually is a charge upon the driver who has acci dents that produce losses so that the safe driver can be given a substan tial reduction in insurance cost. "The Safe Driver Howard returns the 4.S per cent to the safe driver and gives him an additional saving of approximately 11 per cent that would not be possible otherwise." said William Leslie, manager of the national bureau. "Our figures show that SS per cent of our insured mo-i torists are no-accident drivers and will get this saving." Once each year the bureau revises rates on a basis of accident exper ience in the 300 territories into which the country is divided for this pur pose. Determined by cost, size, horse power, etc., cars are placed in one of three classifications for rating. The great majority of insured cars take the time and caution to drive safely has been advocated for some time and caution to drive safely has been advocated for some time by mo tor vehicle commissioners, safety of ficials anil others," said Mr. Leslie. "We hope that even more than the 8S per cent of our insured motorists ex pected to win the reward will do so.

WASHINGTON7 ( UP) Technolog ical inipren ements in industry have contributed largely to the downfall of coal from its former position of economic pre-eminence, according to Dr. W. H. Young, economist for the Xatioual Pituminous Coal Commis sion. Not only improvements, but the sudden and gigantic: development of oil and gas as fuels, and water power as a source of electrical energy also have contributed. Dr. Young pointed out in a current study of the ailing industry. While Dr. Young's htudy related to the bit uminoiis. coal indu-.i ry. Gov. George II . Earle. of has proposed that the federal gov ernment take over the (similarly "sick" anthracite coal industry In h is i state.

Dr. Young cited the following factors contributing to the downfall of coal: 1. Changes in fuel-using indus tries, citing the smelters as an ex ample. Many smelters now are using gas or oil. 2. Improvement in fuel burning equipment to decrease of coal required for production of energy units. In 1!)20 blast furnaces lequireu .).-i:'ti pounds of coal per gross ton of pig iron, and in 193G only 2.900 pounds, a quarter of a ton saving in coal. 3. Increased use of competitive fuel and foims ef energy, particu larly oil. natural gas and hydro-electric power. 4. Improvements in house insu lation against cold weather.

Feb. 10 (UP) The flood threat in southern Michigan appeared at an end today with most cities and communities along rivers and streams rehabili tating after high water caused dam age estimated above a million dol- 0 lars. Only at Grand Rapids was there possibility of further damage and weather observers expressed doubt that the crest of the Grand river, due at Grand Rapids some time tomorrow would be s-erious. The river stage at the 17 foot pro tective fiood will at Grand Rapids at 8 a. m. was near 14 feet, a rise of 1 foot since: yesterday. The stiuation will become perilous only if the flood crest exceeds 15 feet. 5. Automatic- heat just consumption of point. Improvement of burner struct ion and development of efficient radiation. Price war, such as those In the 1920s, also contributed to the indus try's problems. Dr. Young found. Average" realization of coal companies on fuel at the mine declined from ?2.20 a ton in 1924 to $1.34 in 1933. The 192:'. price was $2.GS a ton. Loss Shown in 1929 Even in the boom year of 1929, the industry suffered a net loss of '$12,000,000, and $50,000,000 a year during the three years after 1930. Dr. Young estimated the 193G loss at $29.;4(J.9S1. Labor costs since 1933 have in creased 117 per cent per ton. he found. An all-time high in mine employment was reached in 1923 with 705.000 workers on the pay rolls. In 1934. this figure had shrunk to 45S.OO0. The peak production was re ac hed in the: war year of 1918 when 579.000.000 tons of coal were mined. Since then the demand has fallen steadily. Despite adverse conditions in re cent years, wage agreements have been generally maintained in con trast to 1923 when contracts were widely abrogated during the slump of coal prices. Dr. Young found. The tederal government is at tempting to regulate prices, fixing a minimum below which production can not -sell in market areas, to aid the industry. The coal commission recently issued minimum price sched ules which were attacked, and the Guffoy-Yinson act setting up the coal commission has been challenged In court.
