July 2k — (U.R) -Tr*ff- ‘ l<- safety campaign* have hit • red light and death has gained the advantage of the nation* highway*. the National Safety council "•day. . i The campaigns had shown, dur- 1 Inga 17 month period starting In November. 1»37. and ending In ' March this year, a decrease In deaths each month over the same month of the preceding year. In April, thia year, traffic deaths equaled those of April. I»3«. in May they were only one per rent be- , low those of May. IP3R. In June ( they Increased 1 per cent over those of June. I»3R — the first time that had happened In 20 months. The June death toll wan 2.230. only 20 more than In June last year. However, the council reported. ( the combined death total for the first six months of I»3> was 13.s'Ht. a five per cent drop from the H.ICo deaths during the first six | ( months of IS3K The council said the reduction, in the face of increases toward the end of the period, was due to the fact that the first three months showed a S per cent drop from the same period of IPBS and that the total for the second quarter was | exactly the same as In the second quarter of I»3S. "The slump In traffic improvement is especially trf-loua.' the council said, "in view of the fact i that the nation now la m the vacation period when traffic death* and death rates almost invariably 11 increase sharply. "The nation can blame rural > areas for the fact that its sustained traffic safety drive has hogged ' down after bringing a cumulative ' saving of 8.7112 Ilves. Cities reduced their deaths 8 per cent in June I from the same month last year, but ' thia improvement was overcome by i a 7 per cent fatality increaae on ’ rural highways Increase In rural < death* in April and May also offset reductions made by cities. "Increased travel in 1939 had 1 made reduction* more difficult. 1 Five months' figures on gasoline consumption show a five per cent advance this year May alone was . i ten per cent higher." Twenty-one states reported more , deaths in June thia year than last. Twenty showed decreases and one no change. Rhode Island achieved ' the greatest percentage decline In fatalities for the six months — 87 , percent New Hampshire had a de crease of 24 per cent. Among cities of more than 250- i 000 population.

"What has been done I* a mere foretaste of what Is to eog.e " — — 1 o To Help Farmers Sell More Erkk The Hoff brati Brewing Corporation of Fort Wayne la Inauguralmg a special educational campaign to help Farmers move Indiana's enormous egg crop and to stabilise market prices by encouraging Increased public consumption. Indiana Farmer* produced J.1«5,000.000 egg* In 193* at a total value of *20.000.000. All told — the annual income from chickens and eggs produced in Indiana averages 18 per cent of the farmers total cash Income. It's twice as great as the farm income ftf>m truck, nursery and rreenhonae products and five per cent more than the total Income from livestock and livestock product*, and only slightly lea* than the total Income from field and forest cron* To carry out Its campaign effectively. the Hoff-brau Brewing ' Corporation i* now distributing I counter displays, featuring raw and hardboiied eggs as an Inviting and nourishing food with beverages. These cards are being displayed wherever beer is sold. “Eggs And Beer For Health And Cheer" The above slogan will be extensively featured In all newspaper, billboard and radio advertising — and every tavern keeper will be personally instructed to display a ■ large bowl of prepared eggs on the counter and hack-bar where they 1 can be readily «een by every cus- 1 tomer. Eags will be featured for | daily consumption by bat a young’ and old Eggs for lunch — eggs • with meals - eggs possessing the | greatest food value for the least! cost — also contain moat of the i vitamins our systems need. This co-operative effort by the | Hoff-brau Brewing Corporation. In *id of the fanner, will continue throughout the remainder of the j year, and is expected to lead to advantageous results — not only j to the farmer, but to the general [ public, which naturally will be in- { fluenced to a better understanding ; of the real value of eggs from the standpoint* of nutrition as well as taate. '■ o JAPAN FAVORS (CONTINVED FROM PAGE ONE) for further consideration tn To- J kyo was the realisation that. If 1 deaired, the United States could | wield powerful economic weapons against the Japanese government by embargo and other economic > measure*, one of these weapons' would be levying of countervailing H duties against Japanese Imports to America, thus cutting into the a blllty of Tokyo to purchase wat J supplies. The Japanese government ha* sought throughout the China struggle to adopt a conciliatory attitude toward Washington, and at the same time has pusher the much greater British Interests In the far east to the limit. One heason for thia Is that Brit-' aln has been so busy trying to | keep her affairs in order and at J home that the Japanese have had an unusual opportunity for action The seriousness of troubles ev- ' en within Great Britain was etnph allied by the speed with which j| parliament completed approval and King George signed the new bill giving police special powers to curb the Irish republican army extremists and to deport suspects, possibly by warships. The bill became a law Immediately after parliament completed approval and Rcotland Yard massed Its forces for a drive against i terrorists charged with score* of , bombings and fires In England thia i year In their campaign to drive British troops from Ulster and unite North Ireland with Eire. “Plans have been prepared with thoroughness of any military general staff." Earl De La Warr told the house of lords "The country has come to the conclusion that thl» must be stopped Not a soul I will he safe until It has been stopped " At the same time London was ringed with a gigantic, spidei like network of steel to guard against another kind of danger. The precautionary network was the famous London balloon barrage which. In war time, would be designed to I trap and destroy enemy airplane* , flylug over the city. Score* ot gray 1

The Italian fleet, observed by German experts, gathered In waters off Rlclly and Libya for war games 'designed to show whether in event of emergency the Totalitarian powers could cut the vital life lines of Britain and France, And In conformity with general staff plana effective even in peace time the British and French fleet* moved to offset any Italian concentration* that tnisht suddenly (turn from play to reality, thus, the French war fleet moved to Malta , and the British fleet steamed eastward toward Alexandria to maneuver and io balance the position of the Fa*< i*i warship concentra-
