THE COST OF MOTOR
ACCIDENTS '
According to B. G Willis, Vies
preaident of the Fireman's Fund In
demnity Company, the annual eco
nomic loss due to automobile acci
dents is about $2,600,000,000. Some
realization of the magnitude of th-3
waste can be obdainedl (by the know
ledge that public school education in
the entire country costs only $2,200,
000,000 annually.
Practically all of the two and a
half billion loss is due to three fac
tors ? ignorance, carelessness or in
competence. There is no other ma
jor cause of automobile accidents.
The unavoidable accident is rare in
deed. The percentage of aocidents
due to mechanical failure of the car
in small ? and in the bulk of theso
the fault lies with the owner who
has not kept his machine in proper
condition. The human factor is
present in every conceivable mishap.
Most of U3 have insufficient un
derstanding of the destructive forcc
of a moving automobile. A car go
ing 50 miles an hour haE the same
potentail force as if it were dropped
from a height of 101 feet. At 40
miles an hour the car will travel 29
feet before the average fdriver is
able to react to danger, and it ther
takes 80 feet, with four-wheel brakes,
to stop, or a toal of 100 feet.
Last year ignorance, carelessness ?
or incompetence at the wheel killed
34,400 people and injured almost
1,000,000. During 1932 these factorr
will be responsible for another 35,
JJfr) deaths ? unless every motoris;'
awakena to his responsibility and
does his part to reduce the ghastly
toll.
THE COST OF LIVING
The cost of living has been stead
ily declinging in the United State,
for ten years. Today is nearer to
what it was before the war than it
has reached since 1913, according to
government statistics which have
just been issued,
? The war sent the prices of all
commodities up until, in 1920, it cost
the average city dweller just about
twice a3 much in rents, fuel, food
clothing and the other essentials of
life, to say nothing of luxuries, as it
had cost for the same things seven
years before. In ten years two
thirds of this increased cost has been
lopped off, so that today the general
average of living costs is only about
a third greater than it was in 1913.
The period of high costs was, how
ever, the period of our highest natio
nal prosperity. From 1922 to 1929
prices maintained a fairly even level
of about 70 per cent more than in
1913. F,verybody was busy, every
body was earning more money than
we had ever earned before, more
goojfis were being produced and sold
at profitable prices than ever before,
and the people of the Unietd States
were in a happy and contented frame
of mind. Then the sudden drop in
commodity prices began and we have
had hard times, business depresion
and unemployment ever since.
It seems to us that here is con
clusive proorf that properity is de
pendest upon high prices. All of the
statesmen, economists and financiers
of the world agreeci^ that it is true.
An intensive and widespread effort
is being made to find a way of re
storing and increasing commodity
prices. An International comaiitt.ee j
is to meet shortly in Geneva to pre
pare the plans and program for a
world-wide conference of govern
ments in the wffort to find some way
to solve this problem. In the mean
time, the upward trend has beguti
in many commodity lines, and t<*
whole outlook seems to be towarr.

long run, the resumption of product
ion and th'e restoration of prosperity.

Unfortunately, at least 80,000,000

Conscience

country's forest land at work produc
ing timber requires, for one thing,
adequate public systems of protection
from forest fires. It requires alac
the adjustment of taxation values so
that private landowners' can afford
to grow tim/ber for a number of
years during which no revenue can
be expected. Most of all it depends
on stabilizing the ownership of for
est land, particularly through the
?|?taib) .^hmenti oif more Stpfce aend'
municipal forests under forest man
agement and the adoption by move
private timberland owners of a policy
of permanent retention of the land
with consequent consideration of
forest management as a form of land
use.

the ouTDoor: man
The air was filthy with the smeli
of animals and human beings herde!
together. Men and women trampled
one another, crying aloud their im
precations. At one side of the court
were the pens of the cattle; th? dove
cages at the other. In the fore
ground, hard-faced priests and money
changers sat behind long tables ex
acting the utmost farthing froir
those who came to buy. One woulc
never imagine that this was a placc
of worship. Yet it was the Temple
? the center of the religrious life of
the nation. And to the crowtfs who
jammed its courts, the spectacle
seemed perfectly normal. That war
the tragedy of it.
Standing a little apart from the
rest, Jesus, the young man from
Nazareth watched an amazement
which deepened gradually into anger.
It yras no familiar sight to him. He
had not been an the Temple since
his twelfth year, when Joseph and
Mary took him up to 'be legally en
rolled as a sim of the law.
His chief memory of that previous
visit was of long conversation with
certain old men in a quiet room. Ho
had not witnessed the turmoil in the
outer courts, or, if he had, it madte
small impression on his youthful
mind. But this day was different
For weeks he had looked forward to
the visit to the Temple.
To be sure some of the oldes ones
muttered about the extortions of the
m o rvey-ch a ngers at the Temple. A
woman told how the lamb which she
had raised with so much devotion the
pervious year, had been scornfully
rejected by the priests, who directed
her to buy from the dealers. An old
man related his experience.
Today Je3us faced the sordid real
ity, hi$ cheieks flushed. A woman's
shrill tones pierced his revery like a
knife; he turned to see a peasant mo
ther protesting vainly against a ruth
less exaction.
And suddenly, without a word of
warning, he strode to the table where
the fat money-changer sat, and hurl
ed it violently across the court. The
Btartleti robber lurched forward,
grassping at his gains, lost his bal
ance and fell sprawling on the
ground.
Another step and a second table
was over-turned, and another, and
another. The crowd which had
melted back at the start began to
catch a glimmering of what was up,
and surged forward around the) young
man. He strodte on, looking neither
to right nor left. He reached the
counters where the dove cages stood;
with quick sure movements the cages
were opened and the occupants re
leased. Brushing aside the group
of dealers who had taken their stand
in front of the cattle pens, he threw
down the bars' and db-ove the bellow
ing animals out through the crowd
and into the streefta.
The whole thing happened so quick
ly that the priests were swept off
their feet. Now, however, they col
lected themselves and bore down
upon hini in a body. Who was he
that he dared this act of defiance?
Where had he come from ? Ry ,what
authority did he presume to inter
rupt their business?
"This is my authority," he cried.
It is written, My house shall be
called a house of prayer for all na
tions, but y v have made it a den
of robbers.
