In stressing the advantages of safety education, Richard Thrush, assistant director of life saving of the Red Cross, in an address before the Scus of the Revolution last night at the Army and Navy Club, said it could not be impressed too greatly upon the people. The United States leads the world in accidental deaths, he said. Careful drivers often are regarded as “sissies,” he declared. The careful driver, he sald, is not protected by his own caution and observance of traffic regulations, but is subject to the mercy of the “sensa- tion-seeking” driver, and it is the latter that must be weeded off the highways of the Nation. Havoc of 10 Years. “For the last 10 years an average of 94,000 lives each year have been lost—the equivalent of a small sized city—and coupled with these deaths { have been 9,500,000 disabilities. The cost of these accidents, the great majority of them due to carelessness, is $3,500,000,000 a year. “Although human instincts are not geared to machinery, industry defi- nitely has proved that accidents can be controlled, but public opinion against carelessness is needed to | stamp out the terrible toll of death in the Nation.” Enough knowledge is available on the subject of safety to eliminate a great majority of accidents, Thrush told the group, but he believes the | time has come for application of the rules of safety by every one, instead | of depending on the other fellow to yield the right of way on a peremptory blast of the horn. British Plan Described. | ‘Thrush told of & plan in England | to do away with horns on automobiles | and advocated that every person try driving for several days without the {use of a horn and then notice the | improvement in driving, due to the | caution that must be taken when the almighty blast is not available. | Telling of the recent train-bus | crash at Rockville, Md., Thrush said | THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, 1835. Senate’sGrammar Polished ROBOT HELPS SET Six Shorthand Reporters, in 12-Minute Turns, Take Down Debate. By the Associated Press. ® Senator says “sin’t” —and some of them have ‘been known to—it appears in the Congressionsl Rec- ord as “are not.” Prettying up the grammar of the egislators is one task of six of the {:uc shorthand reporters in the Na- tion, who record the torrent of words in senatorial debate. The six reporters, headed by James W. Murphy and Percy E. Budlong, are only beginning their duties when they feverishly scratch pothooks in their behind them, they minute turns in note-taking on the Senate floor. Then they hasten to their headquarters in a room nearby and dictate the remarks they have just heard. Cylinder recordings of their dicta- tion are “played” slowly to & staff of five typists, who turn out rough drafts, quadruple-spaced to permit correction and interlining. Then the “reporter” becomes wh-_t. newspaper men call a “copy reader.’ With pen and ink, he corrects typo- graphical errors, grammatical slips, and “obvious” errors of fact. Walls of the room are lined with reference volumes which he consults frequently. He checks on the accu- racy of poetical and biblical quota- tions, proper names and dates, makes sure that the Senator isp't quoted as saying something occurred in the Civil War when it actually occurred in the Revolutionary War. “We are especially careful of the names of towns and cities,” Budlong explained. “A Senator once used the | town of Portal, Wash., in a speech. I made it Portland, and, of course, there was a complaint.” But in correcting and clarifying, the reporters are careful to preserve a Senator’s oratorical style. Quake Returns Island.

The Red Cross, he said, has an enrollment of 7,000,000 members in the Junior Red Cross, | 'Which he hopes will alleviate the | accidents of the vears to come. | The meeting, the last until October, | was presided over by Dr. Thomas | Edward Green.
