' REPRESENTATIVES IN U.S. Powers and Stone, Inc, New York and Chicago, ----- WEDNESDAY, JULY 18, 1928 i" The exceptions prove the rule that people i like to spend money, So early in life does !' the desire assert itself that it is thought to . be instinctive, There is less odium attached . to the name "spendthrift" than to its op- | posite "miser," which might be cited as evi- i dence of the universality of the buying-hab- | it. i. This tendency to spend and buy is recog- +" nized by those who have something to sell. . Before some may spend there must be oth- . ers with something to sell and the times "when the demand has exceeded the supply ! have been infrequent and of brief duration, There are many degrees of buying or ! ppending, Some people spend more than + their incomes. Some buy for the love of + '%'shopping" and others because they need i the things they purchase, There are the heavy spenders as well as the thrifty spend. ers, Every member of civilized society must 'spend and buy in greater or less degree, But there are only two types of sellers. There is that type which strives to give the buyer his "money's worth," and there is the second type which sees in the spending pro. pensity an opportunity to get the other fel- | 8ow's money for nothing, It is unfortunate that the public does not do all its spending with those who give them *honest weight" for their dollars, If it did there would be no need for laws against using the mails to defraud, wildcat stocks, bogus promotions and confidence men, SPENDERS Sm a es EE ---------- U.S, ACCIDENTS IN 1927 During the calendar year 1927 the United States lost nearly twice as many citizens from accidental death as it lost in the 1917- 18 battles of the Great War. This is re- +. vealed in the report of the National Safety i Council on the accidents recorded last year, : the total of 95,496 deaths being attributed ! to that cause. Moreover, the greater share of the blame for this appalling aggregate is placed on the self-propelled vehicle which in certain hands has proved itself even more dangerous than the machine gun or the air bomber. This is strikingly brought out hy analysis and comparison of the figures pre- sented in the report, These show that in 1911 approximately 80,000 died from acci- dents in the United States, whereas the num- ber in 1927 was approximately 16,000 more, But in the interval between these two given years, fatalities in automobile accidents, ex- cluding collisions with railway trains or street cars, rose from 2,043 to 23,251, an in- crease nearly one-third greater than the gen- eral increase. Put another way, accidental deaths due to other causes than automobile mishaps actually diminished between 1911 - and 1927, the decrease, however, being neu- tralized by the more numerous automobile fatalities and over-run by 16,000 more : | deaths, Thirty-eight out. of forty-eight States reporting showed an increase in deaths during 1927 over the previous year. How these accidents happened is a ques- tion examined in some detail in the report, but it is open to doubt whether the actual facts are so widely and accurately known as 'to render the conclusions based on them of reliable value. But the compiled tables given in the report, at least, indicate what was prong in the majority of cases. Among the 'more important data in this connection con- . 'cerning the ordinary type of accident is what the driver and pedestrian were engaged in doing just before the accident. One of the 'gables arranges the actions of drivers, in 'I1HE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNELDA ., JULY i8, 13% the order of their frequency, thus: Did not have the right of way, exceeding the speed limit, on wrong side of road, failed to sig- nal, cutting in, drove off roadway, through street--failed to stop, passed standing street car, improper turning, passing on wrong side, passing on curve or hill, disregarded officer or aignal, drove through safety zone, and double or prohibited parking, The two most frequent actions were reported in as many accidents as were all the other actions combined, Another table lists the actions of the pe. destrians, also in the order of theéir frequen- oy, thus: Crossing at intersection--no sig- nal, crossing between intersections, playing in street, crossing at intersection--against signal, crossing at intersection--with sigmal, waiting for, getting on or off street car, not in roadway, at work in roadway, riding or hitching on vehicles, getting on or off ve- hicles other than street cars, crossing at intersection--diagonally, and other actions, The actions of a pedestrian are obviously more difficult to classify, particularly since a great number of those considered here as pedestrians are children, The report does not give the proportion of children among the victims of automobile | accidents for the whole country, but it does ] give a table of non-fatal accidents reported by nurses in thirteen of the largest cities, This table lists 166 automobile accidents, of which thirty-four happened to children un- der 14. The proportion of children among the victims of fatal accidents is certainly as high, probably higher, and this fact makes more difficult the balancing of the actions of driver against pedestrian, In contrast to the rising death rate from automobile accidents is the decreasing num- ber of fatalities in aviation accidents, In 1920 there were 185 deaths in airplane and balloon accidents; in 1926, when the number of those flying had increased enormously, there were 170 deaths, The ratio of deaths to miles flown was in the first year one to 97,687; in 1926 it was one to 1,387,964, EDITORIAL NOTES The late bird catches the sleeps Having to swallow insults is hard on a man's digestion, ro A sucker by any other name would still expect 20 per cent, dividends.

Canadians, as a whole, don't take flag display very seriously, yet it is cause for invitation when one sees thousands of cars from across the line carrying American flags only while they tour the good roads of Ontario.

Contrast of this attitude is too great, Oup cousins from across the line ought to be a little more gen- erous than they have in the past. for they show a hundred times less consideration for proper flag cour- tesy than do Canadians.

It 1s alse doing something worthy, and causing Russia to be mentioned apd regarded in a more favorable way than anything her so-called political leaders have done for some time. The finding of the party that started to walk to Jand from the wreck of the Italia is an accomp- lishment of which the crew of the Krassin can be proud; it mesus that there has been brave work dope, resource and determination shown. and skill in navigating ex- hibited. : There will be universal regret that Dr. Finn Malmgren was dead when the rescuers arrived; his ae- tions stamp him all through as a brave man to whom a further ez- tension of days would have been fully justified. There is also the same univer- sal admiration for the other two men. lost in the Arctic, facing/ a living death. who kept the death trust with their fallen companion. There are more bright spots in the rescue of these three men than there was in the departure of Gen- eral Nobile from his stranded men. THE DECAY OF RELIGION The sale of Bibles is steadily and very seriously declining The Bible has been for centuries the most popular as well as the great best book in English literature. Its popularity bas never fallen before. The circulation of the Bible is pow definitely on the wane. apd to an extent extremely disconcerting both spiritually and ecopomically. Nobody can fail to be gravely im- pressed by the unprecedented pheponemon. As a symptom of profound modifcation of attitude towards theology and morals it has unequaled significance.

J LONDON 15 WORLD FINANCIAL CENTRE Gathering of Famous Econ. omists at Chicago Make Statistical Report Chicago. 1lls., July --At a recent gathering of famous econo- wists at Norman Wait-Harris Memorial ¥oundation at the Uni- versity of Chicago, Professor Theo- dore E. Gregory of the London School of Economies and Political Science produced statistics and ar- guments to prove that London is still the financial centre of the world. With this viewpoint in mind, he suggested that the invisible items of i British balance of trade should be a matter of general in- terest throughout the world. Since the anmual British Capital surplus at present in only one fifth as large as in 1911, the analysis of these invisible items would suggest that London bankers are increasing their short time . borrowings, ae- ereasing their balances held abroad and using the credits so derived to maintain the column of long time investment. This process of "lending long" and "horrewing short" is one that is likely to create difficulties in the near future, Prof. Gregory said. In know (not to i in your home.

WILL CHECK OVER PRODUCTION OF PAPER INDUSTRY -- Montreal. July 16.--Ontario and Quebec will soon conclude a defin- ite agreement with a view to put- ting an end to the overproduction of paper, which has resulted in falling prices, affecting the present and future of this vital national in- dustry, This morning at the Provincial Government offices, L. A. Tascher- eau, Premier of Quebec, had a lengthy conversation with Hon William Finlayson, Minister of Lands and Forests in Ontario. Hon. Honore Mercier, Minister of Lands and Forests in Quebec, and Gus- tave C. Piche. Chief Engineer of the Department, were present at the interview. Though not wishing to commit himself, Mr. Taschereau, after both Ministers' departure, made the following statement: "The overproduction of paper in both Provinces is enormous. Pric- es have fallen considerably. The time has come for both Provinces to. come to a mutual understand- ing. Hon. Mr. Finlayson and Hon.
