We prefer to live together in death. I. Jean, alone am responsible for this act and not Chick.

But there is gloom in the Griswold camp at that, because Alice will be graduated this year. ‘Widesprecad publicity last year after someone found her playing on the team, had made the Griswold team much sough{ after, the regular schedule being augmented by exhibitior games this year. And the school athletic funds have mounted in di- ct ratio to the girl star's popular- ity Alice is 17 and holds her position on the team through merit, having cinched her berth long before the, world found out about her ability on the diamond. This week she and her team mates played a double header with the Adair high school team, winning Loth games, 3 to 2, and 4 to 2. In the two games Miss Buckman, who is lead-off “man” was up eight times and got four hits. 8he also figured in two double plays from center field, one of her throws cut- ting down a runner who tried to score on a long fly. ‘When news that a girl was playing regularly with the Griswold team reached the world at large, Alice, surprised at the hubbub, asked what of it? Why shouldn't she play? she demanded. She had played “alley ball” and then regular high school ball since she was able to swing a bat or shag a fly. This year Alice is going hetter than ever, according to Bill Morri- son, her coach. Her batting aver- age thus far is about .350 and she is fielding her position in much bet- ter form. “I moved Alice from right to cen- ter field this year,” Morrison said. “She has been doing a much better job than hefore. She is a better judge of fly balls than last year. There aren't many that get away from her.” At bat Miss Buckman isn't a fence buster, but her hitting is timely, and she seems to have the knack of put- ting the ball in virgin territory be- tween the iInfield and the outfield. She bats right handed and takes a free full cut at the ball. Alice doesn't ask any favors of her huskier fellow players. Opposing pitchers who once were wont to smile disdainfully and ‘*dish up” easy ball long ago have got a: from that idea through sad experi- ence. Now they put all' they have on the ball when she takes her turn at bat, and as her average shows, they need to. The thought that this is Alice's last season saddens the school treas- urer, for her name has been to the box office in western Jowa high school parks what Babe Ruth's is in the majors.

Autos Cause 16 Deaths In Bay State in a Week Boston, May 20 (UP)—Sixteen persons were Killed in automobile accidents in Massachusetts last week according to the report of George U. Parker, registrar of motor ve- hicles, This was three more than for the previous week and 12 more than for the corresponding period of cok's vietims included 11 ns, three motorcycle riders, one occupant of an automobile, and one driver of a horse. Increase Noted in Destructive Effect of Auto Accidents \ Automobile accidents are increas- ingly serious in result although the collision rate is not advancing as rapidly as the growth in car reg- istration and use. Traftic hazards are multiplying in proportiton to the increased use of automobiles. Careless and reckless operation is still the outstanding cause of acci- dents, “Seasoned” operators, the most efficient in theory, are the chief of- fenders, but women and minors, the groups with the best records in the past, are losing ranking because of more frequent accidents, Increased mileage for these groups is the pri- mary contributing cause of poorer driving records, These conclusions are reached by Miss Ethel Usher, statistician of the state motor vehicle department, aft- er a study of all Connecticut acci dents in 1928 and comparison with statistics of other years. She has made the results of her study the subject of the current monthly bul- letin of the department, issued to- - |day. Comparison of 1927 and 1928 That accidents are increasingly destructive is apparent in the com- parative tables presented in the bul- letin. In 1928, there were 466 per- sons killed and 12,797 injured by motor vehicles in this state, whiie the property damage exceeded $2.- 900,000. All of these totals are above those of any year, The pre. vious high figures were In 1927 when 356 persons were killed, 11,- 979 injured, and the estimated dam- age was $2.760,000, “Traffic hazards are increasing,” says Miss Usher “both because of a greater number of registrations each year and a much greater use of motor vehicles as evidenced by an increase of 7.7 per cent. in registra- tions and 13.5 per cent in gasoline consumption for 1928, The acci- dent increase is 2.5 per cent. which may be due to improvement in av- erage driving, indicating that all ef- forts aimed at reduction in accidents have not been in vain.” Commercial Car Records Blacker In analyzing the records of driv- era, Miss Usher finds that “the op- erators of passenger cars and mo- torcycles are showing a real de- crease in participation in accidents while those operating all other types of cars except .usses show increases. The rate chart indicates need for more effective effort to im- prove the record of operators of commercial cars and public service cars, particularly the busses which have a record of nearly as many accidents as rogistrations in a year. A comparison of the average mile- age of busses and other types of vehicles fails to show a sufficiently greater number of traffic hazards to warrant this condition, “Apparently the owners of cars are loaning them more freely than formerly or are demanding less of the operator. A note of varning must now be sounded else there will soon be a departure from all past records. The women and sixteen and seventeen year old operators should study their group records and take heed lest they lose their now enviable record. Intersections Collision Traps “The intersections of streets or highways continues to be the favor- ite spot for collisions. Each inter- section or location should be given thorough and scientific study by the traffic authority to determine the proper traffic direction methods for that spot. All other locations in the highways have shown a smaller contribuation of accidents except the straightaway, which shows a considerable increase, As always the increases occur on the good road surfaces and in clear weather. An exception to former findings, but a corroboration ef popylar belleth will be found in a table which ahows & decrease in accidents occurring in daylight and an increase after dark. This increase 18 largely between the hours of 3 and ¢ a, m, Miss Usher has expanded the study to include detailed analyais of the causes of accidents, court eases and dispositions, complaints, the working of the financial responsi- bility law, and accident statistics ate fecting every town in the state. Walter Hagen May Play Prince of Wales Again London, May 20 (UP)—Walter Hagen told the United Press today that after the French and German golf championships he would retura to England and again play with the Prince of Wales. “The prince’s handicap now s around 15, Hagen said, “but when he gets a little more practice in hooking and swinging his arms fare ther out he will reduce that con- siderably.

You find its performance all that the name Chrysler implies in flex- ible power, eager speed and easy control. You find its riding qualities well beyond any previous experience or expectation.

It is in- finitely lower than is suggested by the Royal Sedan’s appearance and behavior.
