STREET CAR AND AUTO ACCIDENTS. The need of some regulation, or at least a campaign of educa tion, in the driving Of automobiles ia accentuated b) a recent report of the National Safety Council, which shows that while the number of fatalities from street cars are decreasing each year the auto motive fatalities are increasing. The report of the coun cil -hows that in n 1 5 the number of people who lost their lives l street car - in thirty-five American cities having a population of IJ, 500,000 w as 559, hut that IOJO the number had been reduced to 535, lll -p'lC Ol 1 110 IrtCl 111.11 WC Million I "l..i"S v..,.. I creased fifty per cent, or more. On the other hand, the automotive fatalities have shown a 5ted) increase of from U74 in 1915 to 2670 in IQ20. There has. of course, been an immense increase in the number of motor vehicles in that time, hut this increase in the num ber of fatalities shows that there has been no improvement with ex- pertence during that period, if. indeed, conditions are not pro portionately worse than ever before The fact that street cars are Confined to their rails so that their movements may alw ays he accur ately observed and timed is one reason why it is possible more easily to prevent accidents from this source. In addition to this it may he taken into consideration that street cars are operated by trained driv ers while too many motor cars either in public carrying or private service are not. Also all railroads and traction companies have con-ln,f,-,l iliiriinr that iirriud. "Safetv First" campaigns, which have 7 - MARSEILLES NEWS Offic MARY MAC ARTHUR OFFICE OVER STAR THEATRE c.

I'AltMKltS' PRODUCE CO., Mi r elites, m. invariably improved conditions educational u"rk altinj.' the lines it automobile traffic, if any, has been local and SIK rt lived. But the most glaring cause of the difference in the records is in the people who drive the cars. If any trolley or steam line would put an in experienced man on the road to learn how operate his car without an experienced instructor at his side until pronounced fully competent a protest would go up not only from the passengers but from everyone along the rofte traveled. And this in spite of the fact that the car is confined by the rails to a well-defined path front which ii cannot get far away. With the automobile, however, no $UCh restrictions are enfprced. A customer buys a car and after the briefest course of instruction "goes it alone" to the peri! not only of himself and his own passengers, but to everyone along the route traveled, which may lead the Lord knows where. It is a daily oc currence to see children and nervous women operating cars anywhere from congested city districts to country roads. They kmnv nothing of the laws of the road, or if they do they pay little or no attention to them. The drivers of trucks and delivery wagons receive only the most limited instruction as a rule before they are "turned loose" to the peril of themselves and everyone they may meet. " The remedy would .seem to lie," says the Council, "in im proved supervision of motor traffic and in the simplification rather than ihe multiplication of rules governing the Operations of cars and the use of the highways. These rules should be so positive and so clear that they may easily be remembered by the ordinary driver of a car, and so general that they will be recognized and obeyed in all states and all parts of the states of the union." And it should also include a proper supervision over the age, experience and general qualifications of the drivers. The greatest dan ger in the automobile tratfic is not the damage a driver may do to himself and his own car (although there are plenty of reckless, in competent drivers daily mashing themselves up) but what the inex perienced or fool driver may do to the capable and careful operator. This part of the game demands both education and regulation. LEAGUE'S OPPORTUNITY TO ENFORCE PEACE. If the dove of peace were seeking a resting place it would for a certaiqty fly high and clear of cither Europe or Asia, judging from the reports coming from the Old World. The spirit of strife seems to .e dominant in whichever direction the peace messenger might wing its way. Just now the center of most acute hostilities seems to be in Asia Minor, where the Turks are furiously driving the Greeks back until it appears as though there would be little or nothing left of the Hellenic forces. This condition is not viewed with indiffer ence by European nations and may be the rock which ultimately will divide the interests of England and France. Those nations are striv ing to bring about an armistice, but the Turks. Hushed with victory, seem little inclined to cease fighting until, as a Turkish diplomat at lv me expresses it, Asia Minor has been made the tomb of the Greek army. These same officials place the blame on England and says that "England is seeking to establish dominion over the Dardan elles and close the Black Sea and is using the Creeks to obtain this end," adding: "All Islam knows thai Turkey is lighting England, not Greece, and England will soon have cause to repent." The league of nations, sitting at Geneva, is appealed to by Lord Robert ( ecil, the English representative for South Africa, to intervene and, il possilile, stop bloodshed. This would seem to be a splendid op portunity fof the league to do some effective work along the ijnes upon which it was founded. An exemplary lesson might serve to remove some of the adverse opinions which have filled the Ameri can minds regarding the efficacy of the league in the suppression or prevention of wars.
