I new booklet entitled “Lest We
Regret” just issued by the Trave
i lers Insurance Company. The book
lot presents a comprehensive ana
lysis, based on official reports
from the 48 states, of the facts
about accident^ in which 32,000
persons wgre killed and more than j
a million were injured last year.j
“The experience of losing his life!
is wasted on the driver or pedes
trian killed in au automobile acc
dent,’’ the foreword states. "The
experience of months in a hospi
tal cot or of weeks in a law court
is costly tuition for one’s educa
tion in safety. If we wish to avoid
these costs, we must apply the
experience of others to ourselves.”
Automobile Accidetns Analyzed
The experience of the thousands
who had to learn their lesson “the
hard way” in 1938 brings to light
many in|eresting facts such ag
tho following:
.. Exceeding the speed limit was
responsible for 39.6 per cent of

injuries. Despite a decrease In fa
talities in 1938 compared with;
1937, the perctantage caused by
speed went up.
Almost 94 per eent of the dri
vers involved in fatal accidents
were male and only six per eent
female.
More than 84 per cent of the
fatal accidents ©ceured in clear
weather, and 77 per cent happened
when the road surface was dry.
Moro persons were killed on Sun
day than any other day of the
weeik;, while the heaviest injury
toll came on Saturday. More per
sons were killed between seven
and eight p. m. than at any other
hour.
Almost 4.5 pel’ cent of all victims j
of fatal traffic accidents were pe
destrians. Almost half of all pe
destrians killed were either cros
sing between intersections or walk
ing on rural highways
“Danger Unit’’ Introduced
In addition to the statistical an
j alysis, the booklet introduces a
new' and unique concept of driving
in terms of “Danger Units.” It is
pointed out that energy increases
progressively as the speed of the
car increases, but that the incre
ment in energy far outstrips the
addition to miles per hour.
Taking as its equivalent the av
erage shock limit of the human
body, the Danger Unit is mathe
matically equal to the energy de
veloped in an automobile moving
at 25 miles per hour, to a street
width of actual stopping distance,
to one “roll-over” in case of an
accident, or to the fall of a person
off a two story house. This concept
coupled with the known fact thac
the energy of a moving body in
creases as the square of the speed, J

High Speeds Costly
Also contained in the booklet
is a discussion of the high cost
of fast driving. An increase in
average speed from 36 to 45 miles
per hour will save a little more
than six hours costs about 65 cents.
An increaso in average speed from
36 to 65 miles per hour jumps the
cost of hours saved to about $1.20
each.

Jaffery, N, H. (Tombstone epitaph)
“Saered to the memory of Vio
late, by purchase the slaves of
Arnos Fortune, by marriage, his
wife his companion and solace, ami
by death his widow.
(Amos Fortune was a free Negro
who settled in Jaffery, New Hamp
shire.)
Master and Servant
Thomas E, Beall of Columbia
county, Georgia, in 1858, willed
Nancy Goings, a free person of
color, 100 acres of land bordering
on the Sweet Water Creek, ad
joining lands belonging to the
Trustees of the Methodst Episco
pal Camp Ground.
Nancy Goings was prevented
from acquiring title to this par
cel of land by an act passed Jan
uary 22, 1862, Free people of color
could acquire and hold real estate
in Georgia, except in the cities of
Savannah, Augusta and Darien.
Mi*. Beall was one of those
slave owners that “loved" his
slaves if the tone of Ihis will had
anything to do with his character.
Twenty shares of the Georgia Rail
road was put in trust for one slave
others were given lands and houses
railroad fare and money if they
wanted to move to California;
$1600 for each slave was placed
with the Colonization Society if
any wished to go to Liberia, Afri
ca.
After a research of several years
I cannot recall a better case to
illustrate that tie which existed, in
some instances, between master,
and servant in the days of slavery.
Insurance
One largo insurance company
(white) insures the lives of close
to 2,000,000 Negroes. Over one
sixth of their business comes from
my group. (Are you thinking the
same thing I am?)
4000 a Day
Between October 1933 and Janu
ary 1935, Negroes went on reliel
at the rate of 4000 a day
Permanent Waves
Drs. Newton and Comer, or Ash
ley County, Arkansas, in 1855 stat
ed that some physiologist are of
tho opinion that in the head of the
mulatoo, there is some Negro hair,
and some white hair, and from
generation to generation the Ne
gro hair never runs out. However,
Drs. Newton and Comer, were of
the opinion that the Negro hair
would not run out before it passed
tho second generation. It may in
tho third generation have WAVES.
Tho hair never becomes straight
until after the third descent from
the Negro, from either father or
mother’s side. (Permanent waves
are in style these days, Doctor).

The law
The law of the state of Ken
tucky, in 1880, implies that a white
person indicted by a grand jury
composed wholly of persons of the
white cannot complain because Ne
groes wore excluded; or says Loui
siana, in 1892, a Negro cannot de
mand that he be tried for a cri
minal offense by a jury of his own
race.
Domestic Troubles
The Negro suicide rate is nearly
two thirds as high as the white.
The rural Negro seldom commits
suicide, but this cannot be said of
the Negro who Hvor in the city
more financial and domestic trou
bles.

With the whole world talking

Nebraska farmers will have lost
between 800 and 1200 miles of
farnvtoVniarket roads by June,
1939 as result of the present one
half aent gas tax diversion, ac
acording to figures released today
based on State Engineer A. C. Til
ley's estimate that by that time
Nebraska will have lost $2,350,000
in state highway revenue.
“Nebraska farmers need and de
serve more and better farm-to-mar
ket roads and such highways would
be forthcoming if the gasoline tax j
► revenue were not being diverted fov |
purposes other than the building
and maintenance of Nebraska
Roads," Harry S. Byrne, secretary
of Nebraska Good Roads Associa
tion said.
"Wo are doing our share to curb
gas tax diversion by calling it to
tho attention of Nebraskans who
are vitally interested.” Mr. Byrne
continued,
"What we are urging the fann
ers to do is to write state sena
tors and appeal to them, for tho
benefit of Nebraska farmers, to
vote against all gasoline tax diver
sion measures which would further
deprive them of the roads neces
sary for them to sell the products
they raise in their fields.”
In line with the added mileage
of farm-to-market roads, Mr.
Byrne pointed out that more than
1700 men could be working steady
and support 7,000 persons if the
present diversion were not in ef
fect.
The figures are based on esti
mates that $1,000,000 would be used
for common labor and employing
1100 men fulltime, $691,000 being
used for skilled labor with 630 of
this class being given full-time
employment, and the remaining
$187,000 of labors 80 percent of the
$2,350,000, or $1,878,000 going to
supervisory labor.
Br. Byrne cited the following
stands of various farm groups in
concluding his appeal to farmers
to act now to avoid further inroads
being made on gasoline tax re
venue.
The National Grange: “Every
Special tax collection for high
way improvement should be con
served for that purpose alone. Con
sequently, no gasoline tax diversion
should be permitted."
Farm Bureau Federation: “Re

opposition to the diversion by
States of gasoline tax revenue for
other purpose than the bulding and
maintenance of highway.
Farmer’s Union: "Farmers pur
chase more gasoline than any other
group; hence they are the largest
payers of gasoline taxes. Gasoline
taxes were imposed for construc
tion and maintenance of highways,
being considered as the fairest
measure of the use of highways.
We are, therefore, opposed to the
appropriation of gasoline or, tax
funds for other than highway pur
poses.’’
The latter statement, Mr. Byrne
explained, was made by E. H. Ever

Farmers educational and Coopera
tive Union.
