Much interesting testimony was adduced at the trial of Hauptmann, in New Jersey, but*none more fascinating than the testimony of an expert forester, Arthur J. Koehler, who identified a part of the ladder used as a piece coming oul of the accused man’s attic Mr. Koehler told how he traced the lumber, saying I mad2 a thorough canvass of all the planing mills from New York City to Ala- bama. There were 1,598 altogether, and I found only 25 firms that had had a planer with eight knives in the top and bottom cutter heads and six in the side heads. Two of these I could rule out because they did not dress the one by "four stock. I got samples from the other 23 firms and I found only one of those firms made revolution marks of the same spacing as the ladder rail. All the others made wider or nar- rower revolution marks. That was the M G. and J. J. Dorn Company of McCormick Bouth Carolina. | Some of the McCormick dressed lumber Ww traced to the mill work establishment where Haup mann worked and the annual ring-growth marks ¢ a part of the latter corresponded exactly with an- other piece taken Hauptmann's home.

The Trav- elers Insurance Company recently issued a very in- teresting book, titled as this editorial is. Every automobile driver should read it. treets are not speed ways, points out the author, and cars withoul brakes, or using burned-out lights, or lacking in other particulars, are “potential engines of destruc- tion.” Referring to the many cases of drivers on the wrong side of the road, passing on curves and hills where the road cannot be seen ahead, and such common practices the writer says he tries to drive as if he expected “the world's idiot around every next corner” or curve. There are some interesting figures and statistics in this booklet. Three hundred and twenty-five thousand Americans have been killed in automo- bile accidents in fifteen years whereas the enemies of this great nation in all of our wars were only able to kill 300.000. Four hundred and ninety-two thousand and five hnndred accidents investigated showed that more th one-fourth of them were caused by excessive speed, another quarter by drivers proceeding without the right-of-way, one-eighth because cars were on the wrong side of the road, and so on. While nine-tenths of the cars in accidents apparently in good condition there was no way telling for certain because the wrecks usually the cars in bad shape. Tests in many States, how- ever, have revealed that three out of every four cars registered were defective in some way—one-third with improper braking facilities, seven-tenths with | prize ere of left | now which were worn too badly, and so on.

While only one-sixth of the accidents occur on highways, as against streets and intersections, one- third of the deaths take place on these rural stretches of all deaths occur outside of cities, caused likewise the speed maintained. Just as serious as the high speed are the prac- those who enter heavily traveled highways stopping, who pass cars on curves oOr where their view is limited, or who do not adjust their travel to the character of the high- way and the road situation which they are encount- ering.
