MONDAY, JANUARY 8, 1923. AUTO ACCIDENTS GLAM TOLL OF 4,000 IN YEAR Figures Not Available for All States, Total Will Be Higher. NEW YORK, Jan. 8.—Approxt- mately 8,000 persons were killed in Automobile accidents in 1922 in four- teen states where statistics on such fatalities are kept, or estimated by responsible organizations, according to figures gathered by the United Press. While definite figures were not available from tho remaining states, unofficial estimates described the fatalities as heavy, and indicated that the casualties strike a fairly even average, population considered. On the basis of the generally accepted estimate that 233 persons are injured {gr every one killed by automobiles, number hurt in the United States in 1922 is estimated in six figures. The “traffic evil” in the year just ended broke all former records with this startling casualty toll. Large population centers, where congestion adds to the menace of the reckless or drunken driver led the list. In New York state alone statistics show 22;000 persons were killed jn crossing accidents, by speeders, in collisions and other accidents, Fully 95 per cent of the accidents, traffic. experts estimated, were of the “preventable” sort. Care and cau- tion by someone could have averted tucin and saved the lives or limbs of the victims. A dozen state legislators, hundrds of state, county and city officials and criminal court judges are consid- ering means to curb the menace, many of them prescribing jail and Prison sentence as well as moral pen- alties for #peeders and careless. driv- ers. Next to New York, the largest toll among the states wis taken in Penn- sylyania where 1100 were killed. © Iltnots, and California ranked third in the number of dead reported. In cach automobile accidents took a of approximately 1,000 killed.

Notable in the cast is Maro Mac- Dermott, who enacts the role of a stock broker who becomes » derelict after his sweetheart marries a rival. The dramatic power that Mr. Mac- -| Dermott gives this part brings it to the highest level of screen acting. The toast that his friends drink to his faithless fiancee strikes the key- note of the story. “It's sorry I am to leave you, but glad I am to go.” Then comes the note telling the pros. pective groom of his love's departure with another man. The tensenoss, the tragedy, the human element of the tale {s brought,out when Maro, in the character of the broker, tella his friends, “There will be no wedding tomorrow.” .

THERMOPOLIS, Wyo., Jan. 8.— Daylight is shooting through the big tunnel required in the building of the Yellowstone highway through Wind River canon, a few miles south of here, the first rays of light having penetrated on Friday. The tunnel is 868 fest in length and has been a bone of contention to the! Utah Construction company, con- tractors for 14 miles of the highway, because of the hardness of the rock encountered. It is believed comple- tion of this tunnel assures the road Teady for use this summer. The building of this part of the road will bring to the tourist over Yellowstone highway one of the moat sconic stretches in the Rocky moun- tains and be of great commercial value to Thermopolis and the state of Wyoming. ¥ Plans provide for an 18-foot sur- faced width on a 24-foot roadway. There are three tunnels, the other two being 94 feet and 88 feet in length. Work on the shorter tunnels {s expected to be completed promptly because the rock to be bored is not so hard. The Utah Construction company commenced work June 1, 1922, and the contract Mmit of completion is April 1, 1923. ‘The contractors have not stated whether it will be possible to complete the work by that date. This highway {s the most expen- sive piece of construction of its kind in the state, the cost averaging close to $40,000 per mile with 286,000 cubic yards of excavation of which approx- imately 94 per cont ts rock. : The work is done in co-opéraiton with the federal government at a total estimated cost of $401,582.28 of which the federal government ™s granted ald to the extent of $259,- 622.94 and the estimated cost to the state will bo $141,959.34.

The real which followm is a good Mtustration of the fallany of much a rule. At trick 1, south shoutd nave fin- essed the nine of diamonds and there- after led clubs at every opportunity. By the rule of eleven he could tell that the declarer hed but one dla- mond higher than the seven, and no matter what that card might be, !t was impossible for him finesse to lone. ‘North and south should have made the odd on this deal, instead: of which the declarer won the e, The next deal shows better class playing. The declarer had a mean proposi- tion at trick one. Should he win the Jirst diamond and south get in with the ace of hearts, south might lead a diamond and north would then get four tricks in the sult. On the other hand, should he re- fuse tho first diamond trick and north hac the ace of hearts, west would secure but one trick in dia> monds and thereby lose the game. He decided that north must haya the ace of hearts in order to justity the bid of one diamond. Unexpectedly south tourned up with the ace of hearts, the reason being that north never should have bid diamonds at all, Fortunately, however, south did not have another diamoné to lead and & game seemed easy until north re: fused the second round of hearts. This was the situation which called for real playing and the declarer was equal to the occasion. He could make two tricks tn hearts could he force south to lead that suit, or he could make another diamond should north be obliged to lead dia- monds again. In order to accomplish either of these, however, it was nee- essary to get ri of all the winners in the black mult both In his own hand and in dummy and then throw the lead with his losing spade. It made not a particle of difference in the result whether the spade was won by north or south. No Soap Better —— For Your Skin——.
