All aialyits of automobile accidents collected from 80 cltlea In 1925 by the National Safety council shows that pedestrians are Involved In nearly 70 per cent of all fatalities due to motor vehicle accidents. This summary covers 6,120 deaths and 145,000 injuries, approximately one-third of the total for the entire country. In addition to the TO per cent involving pedestrians 10.8 per cent were due to collision between motor vehicles, 5.6 per cent to automobile accidents not Involving a collision, 4.T per cent to collision between motor vehicles and street cars, 8.5 per cent to collisions between motor vehicles and some fixed object, 2.7 per cent to collision between automobiles and railroad trains and 2.9 per cent to collision between wotor vehicles Mid other vehicles. ,r: . ; ' PedestrUiiwJnjHi^r^'^ Pedestrian accidents also represent approximately 55 per cent of the total number of fataLjfiersonal injury accidents a<jcordli$ to this Investigation. By far the greatest number of pe- .destrlan accidents were due to the fact that the pedestrian was walking, running or playing In the street, or the driver did not have right-of-way at intersections.

Motorists of the United States save more than $1,600,000,000 annually in motor vehicle operating costs as a result of the construction, since 1904, of 138,000 miles of hard-surfaced roads and 158,000 miles of gravel roads, ac cording to W. H. Connell, president of the American Road Builders' association. "Such a saving in motor vehicle costs for the United States exceeds the annual cost of the Improved highways," Mr. Connell declared. "In Pennsylvania alone an analysis of operating costs of motor vehicles proves conclusively that the construction of the hard-surfaced roads has saved more than $32,000,000 annually. "The annual cost for each mile of hard-surfaced roads constructed In the United States under the federalaid system is approximately $8,850, or about $44*1,000,000 for the 188,196 miles. For the grfevel roads It Is about $2,000 per mile, or $805,000,000 for the 153,000 miles, making a total of $751,000,000 annual charge for hardsurfaced and gravel roads. "The construction of these roads *ived the maintenance cost for the 286,000 miles which have been replaced totaling $148,000,000. Therefore, the additional annual charge due to the construction is only $008,000,- 000. Deducting this from (,the saving In operating costs of Si,630,000,000 leaves a net annual saving of $1,022,- 000,000."

Under an act of the last general assembly the gate highway department has erected signs at all cross roads along state highways requiring motorists to bring their cars to a full stop before crossing or driving onto the state road. These signs are distinctive In character and have a high visibility, being painted in black and yellow. Efforts are being made by state authorities to secure general observance of the law. Buttons Made Chang* V ,n World'8 Fathioru Jt to remarkable what small tilings have revolutionized the habits of the world. The" change from the loose, flowing robes of the ancients to the fitted garments of these days is entirely due to the invention of the button. Once the new fashion was established, many snbstances were pressed Into service as materials for button making. Birmingham, England, has held its own as the most important center of the industry; and though Birmingham has a magnificent town hall, old Inhabitants say that it would pay to pull it down and dig up the foundations, for It Is built on a refuse heap of mother of pearl. About the middle of the Nineteenth century the manufacture of pearl buttons was one of Birmingham's chief Industries, and shells were brought In such quantities from the Pearl Islands off the coast of Panama that manufacturers punched one or two buttons out of the best part of the shell and .ijjie-reat awajr^v,^ • EASTERN STAR On Monday evening, Aug. 30, members of McHenry Chapter, O.

It has an entrance hall, living or drawing-room, kitchen and pantry and service departments, bedrooms and bathrooms with endless sanitary adjuncts and aids to comfort. Go back a hundred years and you find the house has no bathroom. Go back two hundred years and apparently no change has been made. Go backr three hundred years to the time of Elizabeth and Jumes I, and the house has only some primary divisions of hall, living-room, kitchen and bedroom, although the hall Is large and well lighted. Go back a generation beyond Elisabeth and the hall is larger but less cheerful because the windows are smaller. Go back still further, say to the Twelfth century, and hardly any windows are visible in the outside walls, there are no bed rooms and living-rooms and the house consists of nothing but a kitchen and a large barnlike hall. Thus is the house reduced to the ultimate essential#.-- New York Herald-Tribune. N. C. Klein spent last week visiting in the home of his daughter, Mrs. John L. May, in Ohio.
