EN i PRAHA AA RG a SN PIR [>= bushel, -- Lethbridge Herald, semmmsmnis of THE-WORLD AT LARGE + CANADA, THE EMPIRE the PRESS] ~ CANADA WE SHOULD VIEW WITH ALARM DEATHS ON THE HIGHWAYS The Ontario 'Department of High- ways is amazed that the people should become tremendously excited "about a minor earthquake that in. Jures nobody 'and causes almost no property damage while at the same time they contemplate with apparent indifference the continuing toll of deaths and injuries in highway acci- dents, In the first eight months of this year, the department points out, 6,- 886 accidents were reported from On- tario's streets and roads, with 201 deaths, injuries to 6,038 persons; and ~~ with 9,304 vehicles involved and sus- taining in the aggregate damage to the extent of $656,000, Earthquake hazards are almost ne- gligible in this part of the earth. But every week eight or nine persons, on the average, are killed on highways in Ontario, and two hundred injured, and we confess our impotence to do anything abou the situation. The pitiful/part of it is that almost all accidents are avoidable. They are caused by selfish recklessness, by a - flat disregard for the conventions of civilized people, by insane speed, by the failure of the human factor to measure up to the efficiency of the machine. -- Ottawa Journal, STREAM-LINED TRAINS . Above all, when considered in con: . Junction with the remarkable achieve- ment reported in the news columns of this issue, in covering the distance from Montreal to Quebec with a spe- cial boat train in three and one-half hours, it would be difficult to exag- geraté the importance of the an- nouncement just made by the Canad- fan Pacific Railway that five "light- weight streamlined locomotives," to be placed in service between this city and the- metropolis and capable of attaining a speed of 110 miles an hr. --the first of a new series--are un- der construction, : If the ordinary passenger schedule maintained hitherto on the Quebec- Montreal run can be cut nearly in two on the existing rails and with the present locomotive power, one may imagine what will be possible with the new locomotives when the rails two centres will be stimulated and multiplied correspondingly. -- The Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph.
