IG.rade- Sepaéation WIll Save Lif e Let's Hasten the Day! OffiC'iais of New Trier villages,- who, ap- pear to be insomewhat of a quandary re- garding what. measures, if ýany, shall be tak en to regulate Regudatiýon, ve. the sale and dis- Prohibiti*on tribution of beer in, our communi- ties, now have been'providedw'ith addi- t ionai' food for thought in their deibera- tions. They have learned this weeki as *the resuit of Tuesday~s vote on the ratifi- cation question, that sentiment hereabout. is decidedly anti-prohibition. They have good reason, moreover, to_ suspect. that adoption of any measures .that would,,re- suit in virtual prohibition ôf-the sale of bcer-a beverage heid non-intoxicating in fact-in these communities might weli be contrary to the ivishes of a large majority, of the citizens. The state law, if we interpret it- cor- rectly,- now provides that no state license shail be issued to a prospective dealer in béer who cannot produce a simijiar license issued by the municipaiity in which he maintain>s hjs business establishment. By, the, simple expedient of faiing to make. provision for such municipal license, then,, officiais.ar e:abie to prohibit the sale of the. commodity (legally) .in places:of business within the corporate limits of the town. .It must be recognized that Tuesday's decisive expression was flot pronipted by hysteria. It.was, as a matter of fact, the ures. Whie. they are considering the, efficacy of invoking old measures that served to prohibit the sale of beer prior to the prohibition era, or of fastening up-, on some other expedient to achieve the mateiy 905,000 per- sons more or less seriously, injured, as cômpared with .33,500 fatalities and more than 1,120,000 injured in 1931... *."Whiie these figures would indicate a decid.ed. improvement in the accident sit- uation," says Charles' M. H-ayes of1 the, Chicago Motor club, "I'a careful study.of ail figures disclosles. that users of the, street 's and highways exercised n o more care than in the past.> This is evidenced, *by the, fact that there was an increase during 1932, of 1.3 percent in deaths per accident and an increase of 2.2 percent in injuries per accident. "0f the total of. 745,300 accidents, 291,- 1, or .39 percent, -were caused by col- lisions with, pedestrians and, 323,83, or 43 percent, by collisions with autonliobiles. The year proved ,to be relatively more dIf- >ficuit for'pedestri 'ans, as there was a gain of 2 percent in the number fatally in- jured."

HUNDREDS AT BEDSIDE 0F SICK LOCOMOTIVE Hundreds of north shore résidents paused in Wil- mette, Monday night, to gaze at a locomotive which had suffered a fractured axie and was unable tcontinue its journeynorth.

Some of. the passengers in the cars, which the loco- motive had been, pulling,- were- probably, unkcind enough to make siighting remarks. about the ailiing behemnoth which was 'doing its best when, it un- fortunatehy turned its axhe.
