It in difficult to say which of lits two problems will be greater {whether it will be harder to find lands than it will be to ind money. The idea of a municipal incinera- tor was first brought up by Chlef Willlam J. Noble of the fire dedart- ment, who recommended this im- ! provement in the city's system sev- cral years ago.

But, then, {as has been the case with many other good suggestions, it way thrown on the scales with a dollar sign as the counterbalance, and the incinerator movement dled.

Iolice Conveyance Changes With Years Fifty or 75 years hence is a lony time to look ahead, that is, for in- dividuals to plan for, but the action of the police commissioners in prac- tically giving motorcycles the go-by in favor of automobiles indicates that changes are being made day Gee, [in and day out with progress being | noted in every such move. Whether the airplane or something better will be the favored means of transporta- tion in police departments half a century from now cannot be fore- seen, but if improvements are made between now and then at the rate they have been made in the past few | decades, neither motorcycles nor | automobiles will be of much use for the purposes to which they are now being put.

There is no question of the sound- commissioners’ stand on the motorcycle-automobile matter. Motorcycles have the apeed, but they carry but one man, and they are not the safest equipment imaginable when pavements are wet. The fact that motercycle officers lost a total of 300 days from duty last year because of injuries sus- tained while riding is & strong argu- ment in favor of the decision to cut down on their use, whereas the uutomoblles are handy to carry an extra man or two and can be used in all sorts of weather. 18 Per Cent Reduction in Persons Hurt by Rallroads New records in safety work were again registered by the American raliroads last year. This is the sixth successive year of progress reported by the steam carriers since they started their organiaed safety pro- gram in 1923. The total number of persons in- Jurcd in all classes of railway acci- dents in 1938—passengers as well as employes—showed a reduction of ap- proximately 19 per cent as compar- ©d with the preceding year, accord- ing to a report just published by the bureau of statistics of the interstate commerce commission. This accom- plishment is & direct resuit of the railroads’ unremitting campaign for greater safety among both employes and the publiec. The United States department of commerce estimates that the annual economic loss to the nation througn sccidents, injuries and occupationa: discases is upward of $1,800,000,000. As a result of their vigorous safety campaigns, the railroads stand high in the et of American industries which are steadlly striving to reduce this arnual loss to the nation. That safety and the railway indus try are becoming synonymous is in- dicated by the commissions’ analysis of the casually rate to employes. For the year 1928 total castualtics per million man-hours amounted to 16.- a reduction of 16 per cent as compared with 1927, The problem of reducing accidents more that of protecting people tor whose safety the railways have hud little or no responsibility than of protecting those for wlose safety tne carriers have been responsible. The railways have no responsibil- ity for the safety of those who tres- poss upon their property, and they have only partial responsibility for the safety of those who cross their tracks at highway grade croseings. Ten yvears ago the number kiiled at highway crossings was 1,862, or 20 per cent of the total number Killed on railway property, In 1928 the number killed at highway crossings was 2,86¢—the largert number in history—and was almost 40 per zcnt of the total fatalities of all EOS. The failure to effect still greaier reduction in all fatalities has been due principally to the increase in ac- cidents at highway crossings, and this in turn h heen due to the encrmous inereasc in the use motor vehicle Why Is a Radio Pause Always Referred to as Brief? Why must radio broadcasters in- sist that there will be a “brief pause for station announcement?" This brief ; .use is getting on our nerves. We don't mind a plain or fancy pause, and semetimes we wish the blamed thing would go outside and die instead of remaining there in the corner howling like & frenzie dog, but that phrase, brief pause, is becoming monotonou: Why not omit the word brief? A pause by any other name is just as quiet. It covers the case. I all the brief pauses for station announcement were placed end to and they would make a silence stretching in a straight line from the sland of Formosa to Timbuctoo to the Ural mountains and back again to the starting point. Or if they were piled one on the other in pan cake fashion, they would reach 1o a point 5,286% light years up and the tip would be visible only with the use of the telescope on Mount Wii- son. These brief pauses are sometimes disconcerting. The other night while we were playing bridge with our fav- crite partner whose good will we cherish, came a brief pause for a station announcement. We went berserk and played the wrong card, thereby causing great mortification and humiliation. Pauses, like static, seem to be in- escapable. Regardless of whethes you are sitting at home reading the newspaper or foraging in a hot dog stand out on a dusty country road, the brief pauses follow in your wake Perhaps brief pauses arc de Tigeur among ANNOUNCEr persons. fraternity, like most callings, s certain rigid rules of con- Guct and, we suppose, ethics re- quires brief pauses instead of just pauses. An announcer who so forgot lumself as to say pnuse instead of bricf pause might be driven forth like a hunted thief from society. But it would be so comforting and rest- ful to spin the dials #ome night and hear nothing by plain pauses. Is Paonecssa Through With Political Life?

INOUEST HELD IN FUGITIVE'S DEATH Steinhardt Said Friends Advised Suicide to Surrender Philadelphia, Aprit 20 (® — A statement credited to David Stein- hardt, fugitive New York lawyer, that friends advised him to commit suicide increased iInterest in today's inquest into his death.

Steinhardt, a trustee and receiver in bankruptey, had consented to sur- render.

A few days ago he told Maris that intimate fricnds had advised him that suicide was the only way out of his difficuitics.
