Many Meet Death In
Auto Accidents
*
Thirty-three fatalities in September
brought to 199 the number of deaths
resulting from automobile accidents
on South Carolina highways since the
first of the year, a report issued yesterday
from the state highway department
shows.
September's total wasv an increase
of eight over the total of September
last year. At the end of September,
1933, total fatalities b^d reached
only 150.
Thirteen of those unfortunates who
met death on the highways were
pedestrians, this t>eing an increase of
more than 50 per cent, over September,
1933, when only six were killed
in this manner.
The statement shows that of the
total of 162 accidents on the highways
during the month, about onetliird,
57, resulted from reckless driving,
while 26 came about through
careless driving. Speeding caused
two of the wrecks and recklessness'
due to liquor 23.
All told, 153 persons were injured
in accidents during the month, 25 of
them seriously. This brought to 1,012
the number of persons injured since
January 1.
The report shows that 85 of the
total number of accidents were collisions
between motor vehicles, that
36 were non-collision accidents, such
as when a car overturns in rounding
a corner, that eight were accidents
between motor vehicles and other vehicles,
and that 18 were collisions
between pedestrians and motor vehicles.
In other words, all but five of
the 18 pedestrians who were struck
were killed outright.

PredicteWorld" War
Will Start In Summer
New York, Oct. 13.?A new world
war will be started by next summer,
it is asserted by Johannes Steel,
German publicist, many of whose
predictions of international developments
in recent months have tf&roved
"steel", a tall,-blond man of leas |
than 30, is said to be an ex-diplomat.
He attracted wide attention because
of his accurate forecasts published
in the New York Evening Post. Today,
in a book called "The Second
World War," he asserts with confidence
that'"another big war will be
raging next summer. i
Germany and Japan, he believe ,
are the two countries which want i
war, and they cannot afford1 ra!j|
longer than the summer of lW jl_
they expect to win." ^
"Japan must invade (Soviet territory,"
steel writes, "in order to safeguard
her economic hegemony in the
Far East.
"Her only hope to do so successfully
is in the beginning of 1935, first,
because the attention of the whole
world will at that time ^ focused
on the Saar, Austria and Hitter, and
Japanese aggression will be obscured
by the magnitude of the events l
Europe; second, because the Japanese
general staff guarantees a victory at
that time, since it believes that Soviet
Russia will not be ready for
year or two to defend her Eastern
borders successfully.
"The German invasion of the baa
will take place iA January, 1935
Germany cannot pay for the baa
mines, as she is supposed to do under
the provisions of the treaty of V
sallies, and France will insist upon
Pa^ThetFrench general staff is convinced
that France can beat Germany
militarily if the fight begins before
1986. While the French systenri of
alliances will hold good until 1935,
the Little Entente will have breken
up into its component fragments by
1936. France can win a war only
'with th? help of the Little Entente.
No responsible French statesman
dares jeopardize the future of France
by missing the one and only opportunity
to re-establish French heg mony
in Europe--namely, a welltimed
war."

State Fair To Begin
In Columbia Monday
Columbia, October 17.--JNext week
is State Fair week and thousands of
South Carolinians are making their
plans to be on hand to see the exhibits,
which are especially fine this
year, to enjoy the amusements, to
mingle with the crowds and to see old
friends, some of whom they meet only
at this time. Many have as their
drawing card the Carolirm-Clemson
game whicl^will be played this year
in the handaomo new stadium at the
Fair Grounds.
The grown-ups have things in their
favor for five of the six days, but
Friday is school day and the ooys and
girls of South Carolina reign su-?
preme. ,
A few years ago the Fair Association
began, giving free admission to
boys and girls that day. No red tape.
Nothing to do but come to the gate ^
in a group or attended by one or more
grown-ups. The idea of bringing tho
children in bodies from schools in
Bchool buses sprang up and last year
around 100 buses made the -trip to
Columbia for the day. What joy this *
brought to these youngsters?a visit
to their capital city, a view of the
amazing exhibits, a good time on the
midway, but more than anything else
a new vision of their own great state.
This year Friday, October 26bh, is
again school day, and every boy and
girl 'Is invited. More buses than ever
will bring children .to the fair, more^^.
will come with their parents than
eyer before. ^ Holidays from school
can be abused, but -this is one school holiday
at least that has a rich reward
in renewed energy and broadminded
outlook for the future citizens.
