TN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT PAGE S1% Pencil Sketch Also Is Valuable "In getting evidence in automobile accidents one of the best helgo a moâ€" torist can have is a camera," says &A bulletin issued by the legal departâ€" ment of the Chicago Motor club. "K a camera is not part of the motorist‘s equipment a good pencil sketch of the scene‘of the accident should be made. Witnesses are, of course, imâ€" portant, and in this connection it is well to remember that a disinterested witness, a bystander, is more valuable than one of the occupants of the car, who might be regarded as too much in sympathy with the driver‘s case. It is advisable to seek witnesses in houses or in stores or office buildings near the scene of the accident. $ Weather Conditions "After the driver has obtained the names and addresses of his witnesses, and of the driver of the other car, he should make a note of the weather conditions, and of the nature of the pavement. He should step off the disâ€" tance from the curb to the point of: the accident; noting skid marks that tell where the brakes were applied. He should also take the name, adâ€" dress, and license number of the driver of the other car, put it in writâ€" ing and take a good look at him so that he will be able to identify him in court later. m“;l:}:é‘n;;ic’)}ist should not trust the affadavit driver who admitg‘hg was in the wrong and says that his insurâ€" ance company will send a check for the damages. This is often a ruse used to make the driver forget to jot down the name and address of the driver. Must Be Able to Prove "When the motorist is ready to go into court he must be in a position to prove his damages. The sworn testiâ€" mony of the repair man who does the work is the best proof of damages. The Appellate court has handed down an opinion that a receipted repair bill is prima facie evidence of work done, but lacking a ruling from the Suâ€" preme court, many lower courts still require the sworn testimony of the repair man, and will not aceept a reâ€" ceipted bill as evidence."

Is Advice By Day or Psn mm hetvunore cago have saved an average of $750,â€" 000 a year through maintenance of a coâ€"operative bottle exchange to combat backâ€"porth campaigns of botâ€" tle bandits in the city and its suburbs. Thirteen motor trucks daily pick up 165,000 empty bpttleeâ€"enough to fill eight freight carty them to the exchange, where they are sortâ€" edandmtedfo:‘retnrgtothairmâ€" ers. More than 500 dealers are inâ€" cluded in this service, s "Carelessness and the operations of milk bottle bandits," says Ernest Reuter, manager of the exchange, "sent so many bottles astray that during 1924 we recovered more than 10,000,000 bottles from illegal use. Recoveries in one month were 989,000 bottles, compared with 248,000 for all of 1922. Bottles handled frgflx all sources now total more than 50,000,â€" explains, becausé) "the cost of a milk bottle is approximately only 7 cents." But when the deglers did get around to thinking about the thefts, they wisely determined to check the loss by beating the bandits to the botâ€" tles. Stopping a leak of this sort does seem a proper matter for a business brought up on the bottle. | Nobody thou%:t much about the theft of a milk bottle, as Mr: Reuber STARTS CONTROVERSY ____ OVER STOCK CONTROL Relation to Ownership Discussed By Harvard Professor; Also Investigation Professor William Z. Ripley, the Harvard economist, came down to New York some time ago and made a speech before the American Academy of Political Science. In this speech and in subsequent magazine articles Professor Ripley started a controverâ€" sy which has raged furiously in Wall Street ever since and which is gradâ€" ually attracting the attention of the entire country. ; Professor Ripley criticized bold1y1 what he calls the growing tendency of separating owné@rship and: control in stock companies, One practice is for the organizers or reorganizers to sell to the public a|class of stock which has no voting powers, while retaining control /by kegping to themselves another class of stock in which all voting power is |vested. Another tenâ€" dency is that of piling up holding companies and consolidations until the affairs of many small corporations are controlled % a large corporation The effect of the Ripley attack has not been confined to argument, acâ€" cording to the ation‘s Business. The question was taken up by the goverâ€" nors of the New York Stock Exchange who contented a‘themselves with the eautious annoubcement that "in the future ‘the compmittee in considering applications for the listing of securâ€" ities will give @gareful thought to the matter of voting control." Also it is known that l':%sident Coolidge and the Department of Justice are lookâ€" ing into the matter to see whether anything oughti“to be, or can be done. in a far distant! state.
