Increase For Last Week
Of July; Autos Lead
After showing a steady decrease
for the past two weeks, accidents
for the week ending July 30, 1938,
reversed their trend and stepped
up the total to 387 with 277 on the
casualty list. Figures for the
week ending July 23, showed 345
mishaps and 269 injured or killed.
Deaths stepped up from thirteen
to fourteen. Continuing along the
trend it has all summer, the child
ren’s record shows three children
killed, three disabled, and fifty
seven injured.
Auto Accidents Over 100 Mark
Motor vehicle accidents went
over the hundred mark this week
with a total of 109 as compared to
ninety-seven last week. One hun
dred and four persons figured on
the injured or killed list in contrast
to ninety-nine of the previous rec
ord. Two men met death in a col
lision, a mechanical defect in a car
caused the death of another person,
no lights were responsible for an
accident in which a fourth was
killed, a car turned over into a
gulley filled with water and a wo
man was drowned before she could
be removed, and a man drove into
a fallen high tension wire and was
electrocuted. Four people sustain
ed disabling injuries in collisions,
another fell out of a moving ve
hicle and was disabled, and an in

disabled him.
Fifty collisions accounted for 37.
injuries while sixteen were hurt
when drivers lost control of'their
cars. Tire blowouts were respons
ible for ten injuries, four were hurt
in bicycle-car mixups, and three
pedestrians were struck down by
uutomobiles and injured. Exces
sive speed, being ditched by a
passing car, skidding, and hitting
an obstruction each were respons
ible for one being hurt; and blind
ing lights, a car fire, and falling
out of moving vehicles accounted
respectively for two injuries.
Three were injured when lights on
an automobile failed, three more
sustained injured hands because of
automobiles, a woman was hurt
when a car struck a wagon in which
she was riding, two others were in
jured when they were thrown vi
olently against the car when it
came to a sudden stop.
The one intoxicated driver re
ported was found to have disabled
a man and left the scene of the
accident.
Public Acicdcnts Higher
Other public accidents also
changed their trend and showed a
slight increase by going from 88
mishaps last week to 92 for this
period. The casualty list rose from
fifty-two to fifty-seven. Deaths
by drowning added two more vic
tims to the list, a man and a boy.
Another boy will be disabled for
life after he lost the sight in ong
eye as the result of being hit by
a stick.
Eighteen injuries were attri
buted to play and sports with one
of that number occuring in base
ball games. Thirteen were hurt in
falls, one was burned, and one was
cut. A girl was bitten by a rattle
snake with bad results, three oth
ers were badly bitten by dogs, four

nails which resulted in painful in
juries, a boy trying to syphon gas
from a barrel accidently inhaled
some, four more suffered from in
fection caused by bruises or
scratches, a boy was struck in the
head by a hammer head which flew
off the handle, and three more had

reported.
Farm Accidents Above Hundred
Agriculture also went up over
the hundred mark as thirty-three
fires stepped up the total from 86
last week to 103 for this period.
Sixty-five people were injured or
killed in contrast to sixty-one last
period. A farmer died of injuries
sustained when he was kicked by
a horse and another farmer was
struck by lightning while driving
into the barn, and instantly killed.
A boy was disabled when kicked

Twenty farmers were hurt by
faim machinery, fourteen were in

and knocked into insensibility, two

load of grain, and a girl trying to
fix a well was struck by a brace
and injured.
Industry lies Previous Figure
Industry tied last week’s figure
at thirty-four mishaps although
the casualty list dropped from 26
of the previous week to 22 this
week. A man was disabled when
a scaffold on which he was working
collapsed plunging him to the
ground. Seven workmen were
burned, five were injured in falls,
three by machinery, four were cut,
one was struck by a falling object
and injured, and another was in
jured by a screw driver which pene
trated his hand. There were thir
teen fires.
Home Mishaps Increase
A slight increase was noted in
home accidents this period as the
figure rose from forty-one last
week to forty-nine for this record.
Those injured or killed, however,
totaled twenty-nine which is slight
ly less than thirty-one last week.
A child was burned to death in a
fire, two others died of burns sus
tained in the home, and a small

throat. An elderly woman was dis
abled in a fall. Three people were
burned in home fires, and four in
miscellaneous ways, thirteen were
injured in falls, one was cut and
two were injured when lightning
struck their house. One washing
machine injury was reported which
makes a total for such mishaps
come to 125 in a little over eleven
months. Twenty-six fires were re
ported in homes.
Here And There
The Canadian wheat crop is ex
pected to double that of 1937.
What is Secretary Wallace going
to do about this ?
We are in favor of peace at any
price providing the price isn’t too
high.
Two Austrian and two German
youths risked life and limb to climb
a 6,300 foot precipitous rock in a
blinding snow-storm. But nobody
has yet explained why.
An Old Guard Massachusetts re
publican has enrolled in a Harvard
summer school of politics. When
we think of what Harvard is accus
ed of doing to those New Deal econ
omists we shudder to think what
might happen to him. Next thing
you know he’ll be trying to increase
the number of G. O. P. votes by
plowing one-third of ’em under.
Six Hindu suitors for the same
girl were compelled to try their
skill at archery by shooting at a
string suspending a lemon in the
air. One of the boys cut the string
and won the girl. Wonder what
the bride’s father meant by using
a lemon in this test?
The governments administrative
organizations at Washington were
denounced the other day before the
American Bar Association as “al
phabet boards.’’ We had been un
der the impression that some of
them must be “weegie’’ boards.
Some businese forecasters are
predicting that 1939 will see the
sale of four million automobiles in
the United States. Which indi
cates the belief that the rain of
relief checks will keep on pouring.
Soivet school authorities are
training 10,000 reds how to cam
paign against religion. And yet
some soft-headed American preach
ers seem to have a liking for the
Moscow brand of politics.
Texas democrats have nominated
a flour salesman for governor. No
doubt on the theory that he ought
to be close to the dough.
Chicago is said to be more joyous
over the return of Dizzy Dean to
pitching form than it would be over
a hundred million dollar govern
ment building program.
There is too much competition in
modern baseball. When the New
Dealers have time to socialize the
game they can arrange it so that
one team can win as many victories
as the others.
The President says some of the
states have been able to balance
their budgets because they received
a lot of Federal funds. Well, who
is to blame for that?
Primary fights in democratic
ranks this year are as bitter as any
on record. But the New Dealers
still think they can win in Nevem
ber. Four and a half billion dol
lars make a powerful issue.
SWATTING BUSINESS
There is something wrong with a
country when hundreds of thous
ands of capable men are without
jobs. It is not the fault of the in
dividual but of the government
which prefers to swat business and
industry and penalize it for em
ploying labor. The whole New
Deal lot of legislation against the
employer belongs in the trash heap,
and therein lies the best solution to
the unemployment problem. The
editor knows what he is talking
about for this newspaper has more
taxes than there were colors in
Joseph’s celebrated coat.—Carroll
ton, Ohio, Journal.
WHY BRING THAT UP
A candidate for office came home
in the wee small hours and gave
his wife the glorious news: “Dar
ling, I’ve been elected!”
She was delighted. “Honestly,”
she said.
He blushed and did not answer.—
Wichita Democrat.
A Los Angeles boy, aged 7, has
defeated some national experts at
playing chess. By the way, that
reminds us: is there any chess di
vision of the WPA, or has Mr. Hop
kins been overlooking something?
A woman writer (not Mrs. Roose
velt) says that whenever she feels
in the dumps she always goes out
and buys a new hat. And that, of
course, puts the old man in the
dumps.
Here is the difference between
the Old Deal and the New Deal. In
the Horse and Buggy days the con
gressman sent you a package of
garden seeds and you had to raise
your own vegetables. Now they
send you a peck of beans or a
bushel of potatoes from the surplus
commodity stock.
It is said that a man with an
unusually ugly face can’t get into
the United States army. Well, of
course, there is no use trying to
frighten the enemy to death.
HOW CAN WE HAVE
CONFIDENCE?
The Pick-up in the stock market,
which has been followed by a minor
pick-up in some lines of industry,
came as good news to America.
But the fact remains that no steady
stable improverrent can be antici
pated until a start is made toward
solving some of our major prob
lems—one of the most important of
which is taxation.
How can business have confi
dence so long as the debt rises, the
budget gets farther out of balance,
and higher or new taxes become
imminent? How can the investor
feel justified in taking a chance on
placing his money in productive,
job-creating enterprise so long as
such punitive taxes as the capital
gains levy remain in force? How
can corporations feel optimistic
toward the future so long as such
measures as the undistributed pro
fits tax make it impossible to store
up economic fat against possible
depressions of the future?
Business and investors don’t ask
the impossible. The national debt
cannot be eliminated overnight—
but an honest start can be made

toward reducing it gradually. The
budget cannot be balanced in a
minute—but a program can be laid
down and held to that will achieve
that end in a reasonable time. The
tax base can be broadened, so as to
give more people a direct know
ledge of what government spend
ing means to them. And punitive,
job-killing special taxes can be
repealed.
A country with an unstable fiscal
policy is a country in chaos. A
country which continually spends
beyond its means is a country
marching toward bankruptcy.
Thes“ are facts that momentary
changes in the business cycle can
not hide.
