I e ] ] NOTES INCREASE IN RECKLESS DRIVING Carelessness Blamed lor Climbing Total of Motor Accldents Hartford, Auvg, 1 hielé situation in Connectiout is gt ling worse so far as the number of accidents is concerned,” Thia is @ statement by Motor sioner Robbins M, Stoeckel in August bulletin of the departmdnt, just published, which deals with bad driving practices, It is shown by the bulletin that recklessness of automos bile operators is responsible for the continued Increase in accidents in this state, Lxamination of statistics uf the des partment shows that 10,204 motor vehicle accidents were reported up Lo August 1, Mme than one-half of these are found to he due to cares lessness of drivers, Other causcs are carelessness of child pedestrians in crossing streets or playing in the roadways, negligence on the part of adult pedestrians In crossing streets and stepping from behind parked cars, ete, and defective equipment, such as defective steering apparatus, brakes, glaring headlights and insuf- ficient light, The only remedies avallable, the commissioner points out, are those which have been suggested time and time again, namely more caution and care on the part of all concerned, more knowledge of traffic hazards and finally insistence by the police upon reasonable rates of speed, es- pecially in cities, Analysis of traffic reports through- out the country intimate that motor vehiele accldents are rcceding, but, taken by yearly periods this is not apaprontly the case in Connecticut, the bulletin says. “Publicity, education and discipline ara having the same effect in Con- necticut as everywhere else,” it is stated. “The public 1s becoming bet- ter warned of the perils with which they have to cope; children are better able to take care of themselves; par- ents are exercising more care over them, schools are teaching the dan- gers of traffic, and in general the public is becoming wide awake to traffic dangers. “Accordingly the tide of motor fatalities may be from now on some- what changed, but it can hardly be expected that the number of accl- dents as a whole will be much less- ened, It may be expected that the consequences of those accldents can be kept down and that serious ac- cidents may be diminished in num- ber.” Discussing the practice on the part of drivers of *outting in,” the bulle- tin says that in modern traffic in this state there is no excuse under any circumstances for cutting in and out of traffic. This practice must be stopped, Commissioner Stoeckel warns, and there must he no attempt made to pass any vehicle whatever where there is not ample sight line, especially as regards traffic coming from the opposite direction. The bulletin'also warns drivers to be cautious of their use of the horn, stating that it ought never to be used for other purposes than warning. Its unnecessary use cheapens it and makes it less distinctive, it is pointed out, and consequently it is net relied upon by the persons it is intended to SAFE IN MoSCOW Russian Crown Jewsls Are Reported §.~="The motor ve. the ‘Well Secreted By Sir Martin Con- | way, British M. P, London, Aug, 18,—The many ple- turesque stories to the effect that the crown jewels of Russla have been sold are all fables, according to Sir Martin Conway, M. P. for the com- bined English universities, who has just returned from a private tour of investigation into the conditions of art in Russia, “In the treasury at Moscow,” Sir Martin sald in an Interview, “I saw the crown jewels, and held them in my hands, including the crown of Catherine II, and the sceptre with the great Orlox diamond. I have no doubt that they were the original crown jewels. They are very won- derful, and I do not think the authori- ties have any Intention of selling them. The jewels that have gone out of Russia probably were private prop- erty.” STORM INSURANCE PLANNED Madison, Wis, Aug. 18 — A cam- paign has been inaugurated by the Wisconsin State Telephone associa- tion to enro!l telephone companies in a cooperative sleet and storm insur- ance plan, The proposal is declared to be the first attempted in the coun- try.

While it hae not been possible in the past to materially reduce the { number of applicaitons on hand awaiting action, this delay, it is said, on the average, has been greatly shortened until now cases are reached for actlon within eeven months from filing or amending compared with the | previous delay of a year.

The award is unanimously endorsed by the | newspapers this morning. The Politiken remarks that, when the king reviewed yesterday ‘“the Americans for the first time saluted with their flag, which was not even| lowered at the review by Sir Robert | Baden-Powell."” “The king was apparently disap pointad that the American cheer lead er, Macbeth, did not jump into the {a group of old masters of world repus | playground 456 miles long and ] H TREASURE AUCTHON Rools o Old English Mansions Falling Because of Poverly London, Aug, 18,~8ir Rider Hdg- gard wiites’ to The Times deploring (hat the roofs of old English eountry mansions are rotting and falling In hecause the owners cannot afferd to keep them up and there is no one to buy them, ahd that with them disap- pears the old English country life of whieh they were the center, The con- tents of these old houses are pouring onte the market as they have never done before,jand popular helief is that most of these valuables are hought in by Londen ayt dealers for their Amer- lean eustomers, Kven some of the old families which are known to he immenkely rich, ae- cording to Fnglish values, are taking sald to Nave b painted by order of Phitip 1V to decorate a Carmelite cons which combine the value of patriclan associations with art, are: "Old Eng- lish Furniture and Needlework the property of Her Grace the Duchess of Wellington,” and carved oak furni- ture “tha Property of His Grace. the Duke of Marlborough and removed from a farmhouse on the Blenheim Lstate,” Also porcelains belonging to the Right Hon, Earl Hawe, G, C, V, 0.; the Sneyd heirlooms from Keele belonging to the Earl of Sandwich; and a few old masters put up hy the pictures the property of Lady Edward Grosvenor, Sir John Hippisley, and other articles belonging to the Count- css of Gosford and Cora Countess of Strafford, 1t is many years since any of the heim have rarely been obtainable in the lifetime of the present Duke of Marlborough, The belief that nearly everything s0ld goes to America is not entirely true.

BEAUTIFUL ISLE ROYALE 10 BE NATIONAL RESERVE Government Takes Over Tsland In Lake Superior and Will Make ot It Huge Playground 18.—A national nine miles wide and embracing 132,000 acres of virgin wilderness, prolific flora, rare orchids and wild animal life is planned by the government on Isle Royale, in Lake Superior. The island which is accessible to the entire mid- dle west, recently was visited by Ste- phen T. Mather, direetor of the Na- tional park service, who on his return to Washington reported the site an ideal one for recreation purposes, The natural displays on Isle Royale Director Mather reported, make its permanent preservation of utmost im- portance, nearly a score of attractive harbors, a like number of lakes and many swift-flowing trout streams pro- viding a fisherman's paradise. Steps already have been taken to secure the island for the government, and Mr. Mather says the genuine pub- lic spirit and the sincere interest in its preservation shown by the principal owners and others has guaranteed the creation of a great playground for the American people. Besides its great virgin forests, the sland iy said to be inhabited by a erd of 1,800 tame moose, 400 wood- lund caribou.
