Noles, Hotel Roosevelt, Indianapolis, Ind. Nearly Two an Hour (Buffalo Express) If the factories continue to turn out automobiles and the automobiles continue to cause deaths by accident, the day is not far distant when there will be more automobiles than people In the United States. Statistics complied for the casualty and surety undrw'riters emphasize the alarming condition. Every day last year forty-three penaons In the United States were killed or died from Injuries received In automobile accidents. In 1922 (he average number of deaths from this cause was thirty-eight. The total number of deaths in 1923 was 15.400, which is 2,000 more than in 1922. One-third 'of the deaths last year about 5,000 were of children under 15 years old. These figures do not Include deaths in grade crossing accidents, of -which there were l.aOfl, or about 150 more than in the previous year. These 17.000 deaths directly attributable to the handling of motor cars must add appreciably to the death rate in the United States. Despite climatic advantages, this country may soon be considered an unsafe one In which to try to live. Since 1921 automobiles, directly or indirectly, have caused more deaths than all other vehicles combined, including steam and electric railways, horse-drawn vehicles, bicycles and motorcycles. -And while the total number of deaths continue to increase, it is small comfort to note that, in proportion to the number of automobiles registered, there has been a marked Increase in safety. In 1915 there -were twenty-four deaths per 10.000 automobiles. Last year the rate jwas 10.3 deaths per 10,000 cars. Last season the number of American tourists landed In Algiers was estimated at 10,000. Citizen's Auto Repair Co.

Marion Kemp, Box 166, Hartford City, Ind. 9 The Golden Rule and the Fiery Cross There's an old story that most folks have heard at some time or other, but many have forgotten and it goes like this: After the world got itself together and on its feet again after the big dip, the smart folks thought they would build a tower high enough and strong enough to keep their feet dry if ever the world got down under again. So they started to build but you know what happened. Everything went on peacefully and smoothly for a while; then they all got to fussing an-'l quarreling so much about the way in which it should be built, the correct measurements and so on. that the contractors simply had to give up the tractors simply had to give up the job. A lot of people never knew what started the trouble. But this is what happened. The architect in all of his drawings and plans used a very choice kind of measuring tool known as the Golden Rule, and that is what he recommended to the builders. As long as they used it, they got along first rate, but some of the hasty ones thought they could work a little faster it each fellow had his own rule, so they made their own, and by and by the crash came. Now the plans for that tower are still good and the Golden Rule is lying around somewhere in the rubbish, a little tarnished, no doubt, but if folks would only find it, polish it up a bit and then start using it, that tower could still be built. The Klan is endeavoring to help folks of all types and minds to find that Golden Rule in America. It built the Fiery Cross by means of it. $2,425,286 HIGHWAY ALLOTMENT A total expenditure of $131,011,847 on highways throughout all of the forty-eight states and Hawaii this year is being contemplated by the United States government, and Missouri is to receive $2,423,286, the state highway department announces. Missouri ranks seventh in the list of allotments for 1924. Texas, the largest state, receives the largest amount, $4,410,105, while New York gets $3,663,105; Pennsylvania, $3,365,956; Illinois, $3,203,866; Ohio $2,785,805; California, $2,464,990; Michigan, $2,226,825; Kansas, S2-081,230.

NEW HIGH MARK SET IN STEa EAHWS Corporation Reports $50,075,445; the .Largest for Any Peacetime Quarter Th statement of the United States Steel OorporatdoaTof the first quarter of 1924 showed net learnings of $50,075,445, the largest net earnings reported for any peacetime Quarter in the history of the company, in only eleven quarterly periods during the world war did earnings pass the total reported for the first three months of this year. Directors declared the regular quarterly dividends on. both the common and preferred stock and another extra dividend of 50 cents a share on the common stock. The preferred dividend of 1 per cent is payable May 29 to stockholders of record May 5. and the regular and extra dividends on the common stock are payable June 28 to stockholders of record May 28. Following the regular meeting Judge Gary declared that it was the intention of the directors to maintain the expressed policy of continuing regular payments of 5 per cent on the common stock, and if earnings warranted more favorable action, payments above that amount would be distributed in the form of extra dividends. Judge Gary admitted that there was some slackening In new orders now, and added that he could not explain this slowing up now. He ventured the opinion that business In this country would be much better around election time than it is at present. WOMEN PLEDGE AD) TO UPHOLD DRY LAW Voters' League Adopts Plan for Co-operation and Active Work to Enforce It BUFFALO. N. Y., May 3. After unanimous adoption of resolutions calling for rigid enforcement of the prohibition law and approving President Coolidge's proposed conference for limitation of armaments and his plea for entry of the United States into the World Court, and expressing hope for a peaceful settlement of the Japanese immigration question, the annual convention of the National League of Women Voters ended its business session by Installing the new officers. Resolutions were adopted without a dissenting vote, and with practically no discussion. Even the law enforcement resolution, which had been expected to cause discussion because an earlier board resolution, fought by Mrs. Gifford Pinchot as being too weak, had been discarded, was adopted after a question and answer as to the meaning of a certain clause. This was on the interpretation of the "co-operation and active work" for law enforcement to which the resolution pledged the league. Mrs. Maud Wood Park, retiring president, declared that the form of co-operation will be determined by the national board as regards the Federal government and by state boards concerning state enforcement. Japanese Bachelors Hurry to Wed Before Exclusion SAN FRANCISCO, May 3. Hundreds of unmarried Japanese men, anxious to marry Japanese -women and return to this country before the proposed immigration law becomes effective July 1, are crowding all steamers sailing from here for the Orient, according to the San Francisco Examiner. The Examiner says the Pacific Mall steamer President Wilson, which sailed recently for Japan, carried 400 Japanese and did not have accommodations for many other applicants. Before departing Japanese residents of the United States must appear before the consul of their country and make written declaration of intention to return to America within a short time. Hundreds have made such declaration recently, the Examiner says. Wills Manufacturing Plant to "a Faithful Employe" ST. LOUIS, May 3 To Richard P. Keller, described in his will as "a faithful employe," George L. Niehaus, manufacturer of sorghum evaporators, has bequeathed the evaporator plant on certain conditions. He also willed Keller $100 for every year spent in his service, which now total twenty-nine. Nlehaus, who lived at 4301 Forest Park place, died April 21, leaving an estate estimated at about $200,000. In the will, filed for probate, Keller is given the machinery of the plant and its good will, on condition that he buy the stock of raw materials on hand. He Is to have sixty days to make up his mind if he wants to make the purchase, but a year In which to pay. SUNKEJf TREASURE SOUGHT A second attempt is to be made to salvage the Spanish warship Alrirante de Florenzia," which has been buried in the sand and clay of Tobermory Bay, Argyllshire, more than three centuries. All the latest devices for submarine salving will be used, and it is hoped to recover millions of cash, gold and silver plate candelabra and the crown of gold and jewels which was to be placed on the head of a Spanish King of England.

IMPORTED IN MARCH Receipts From Europe Run More Than $1,000,000 a Day, Says Federal Reserve Review The flow .of raM from v - ,f the United States durlnir Mawv, averaged . in excess of $1,000,000 a uay, according to figures published by the Federal Reserve Agent at New York, In the monthly review of the New York Reservn Ttnnlr Tk month's total was $34,000,000, and the largest part or this total came from England. Exports from the United States totaled only $817,000. The report also showed that for the first quarter of 1924 gold Imports of the United States not only exceeded the total for the corresponding quarter of last year, but also the figures for the first hale last year. There was no one quarter oi last year that came closer than $13,000,000 to the high figure reached by the first quarter of 1924. The figures tended to .show further that instead of a predicted decrease in gold imports, there has been a sharp increase. Commissioner's Plea Is to Abolish Grade Crossings CHICAGO, May 3. There Is only one conclusive answer to the problem of railroad-highway crossing casualties, and that is separation and elimination of grade crossings, W. B. Rainey, chairman .of the Pennsylvania Public Service Commission, told the first annual conference for the prevention of railrnnrt-hisrhwoxr crossing casualties. The conference is under the auspices of the National Association of Railroad and unities Commissioners. Mr. Rainey said that emphasis should be placed on ultimate elimination rather th vices, lest the application of control uevices exnaust funds needed for separation and elimination. Mr. Rainev said that fha nom Puttie Safety reported that last year ui 33 crossing ratailtles only one might have been averted bv print Tnl and 130 to 140 might have been averted Dy elimination.

Catholicizing the Negro Between - the WbtI nm rh'o, -nil 143rd street Is the largest community ol negroes in tne world. No other city, either in Europe or America, has so large a negro section as New York. The census of 1920 gave the number at 150,000. Probably the annual gain in the last four vpara hoc been almost 20,000. At conservative estimates this section now numbers more than 200,000 colored people. Recoenlzine this as a fertn niri for missionary endeavor, the Roman uatnouc unurcn is now conducting a well-financed and vieoron psmnaiyn to bring its religion prominently into this section. Already several Cath olic cnurcnes Have been established in the communitv. Althmitrh negro, as a whole, hy previous ex perience ana training, is Protestant In his faith and affiliations, the effort of Romanism to entrench Itself in this Harlem stroneholrt is vl and progressive. Having the inter ests or tne negro at heart, Protestants will no doubt do all in tliir power to restrain the noxious impulses of Romanism. Tt it anirl that the Federation of Churches of Greater New York is giving some attention to the situation and will do all In its power to cope with "the Catholic advances toward tho negro, who has shared with the white race an tne mental unrest and emotional struggles that have marked the last few years.
