American Accidents Are
Two to One Over England
CHICAGO, Jan. 20.—Englishmen in
their daily lives run less than half the
risk from accidents that Americans
do, according to Richard E. Kropf,
supreme regent of the Royal Arca
num, in an address here. In England
< and Wales the fatal accident ratio in
1922 was 321 per million population,
while in the United States the same
year the proportion was 69S per mil
lion, he asserted.
“America loses by accident 209 per
sons, or the population of a small vil
lage every day of the year,” declar
ed Mr. Kropf. “Every week 1462
persons, or the population of a fair
sized town, make the appalling acci
dent death toll. In 1923 fatal acci
dents numbered 84,000, or the popula
tion of a medium sized city.
“Automobile accidents head the list
with 262 deaths per week. Falls of all
kinds claim 254 per week. Drowning
kills 134 a week, and 128 are killed
each week in railroad accidents.”

foundation’s materials and plans for
training in parenthood and a study
of the nature, well being and care
of children will be used by the asso
ciation as the basis for it work.
Mrs. M. W. Reeve, of Philadelphia,
president of the Parent Teacher as
jsociation, and Lewis B. Myers, of the
foundation, in announcing the move
ment, declared that through the
Parent-Teacher groups they would
'“set about at once to organize class
ics which would enter upon this vital
study.”
j “Such a movement comes as a
' most timely aid to all who are en
trusted with the care of children,”
said the announcement. “The pro
j fession of parenthood carries with
it high privileges and deep joys, but
it also entails grave responsibilities
■and unnumbered perplexities. These
latter we hope to explain and teach
a way by conclusions drawn from a
survey of present-day knowledge of
childhood and young in which prac
tical answers are given to the ques
tions concerning the bodies, minds
and morals of children.
“The fact that the movement is
being organized doubtless will enlist
the interest of many who have not!
hitherto given serious attention to
j child problems. With them, we will
'have the staff of experts which con-1
; tributed to the findings of the foun
dation in its survey.”

Boris Is No Puppet
Ruler of Bulgaria
SOFIA, Jan. 20.—Young King Boris
is asserting his authority. He refuses
to be a puppet king.
King Boris never signs a paper or
a document without much study, in
vestigation and deliberation, much to
the annoyance of the cabinet and
ministers.
His majesty’s latest demonstration
of authority came recently when he
refused to approve a death sentence
for a criminal demanded by the min
ister of justice.
King Boris sent the death warrant
back to the minister with a note say
ing:
“I have investigated this case and
find the man’s record is excellent up
to the crime committed. I therefore
recommend commutation of the death
sentence with ultimate pardon.”
PROFESSOR’S WIFE IS
TOO STUBBORN TO ADMIT -
LOVE, JUDGE CONCLUDES
(By Associated Press)
CHICAGO, Jan. 19.—Mrs. Helen
Journey was recently denied a di
vorce from Prof. R. C. Journey of the
State Agricultural college, Raleigh,
N. C. In announcing his decision,
Judge Joseph Sabath said he be
lieved Mrs. Journey still loved her
husband, “but tv as too stubborn to
admit it.”
Prof. Journey’s cross bill was tak
en under advisement until his next
vacation period, which comes in
June.
Judge Sabath warned Oscar Har
mon, young law student, named as
co-respondent in Journey’s bill,
against remaining a member of the
Journey household.
Too Much Nonsense.
“Despite the evidence against you,”
the court told Harmon, “and des
pite the usual interpretation of your
actions, 1 am not convinced of Mrs.
Journey’s infidelity.
“But too much nonsense has been
going on between you. Professor
Journey is wrapped up in his work.
He is a man of unusual intelligence
and unwise in the ways of the world.
“Mrs. Journey is a charming little
woman, cultured and refined and
once was fond of her husband. But
when you came into their lives her
love for him began to ebb away. I
think she still loves him, but is a
bit self-willed and stubborn now.”

Officer Owes Life
To Faulty Weapon
WENATCHEE, Wn, Jan. 20.—
1 Sheriff Bert McManus, of Chelan
I county, today said he believed Chief
of Police Brown owed his life to the
faulty sight on the rifle used by Fred
Kohrdt, 17, youthful bandit, in their
gun battle Sunday, in which the lat
ter was killed. The rifle used by the
lad had been stolen by him from the
Doelle hardware store at Cashmere,
and Mr. Doelle said he had dropped
it last fall and knocked one of the
sights off. The boy was a good shot
and in the fight bullets were thrown
all around Chief Brown, the boy taking
deliberate aim, but were thrown off
by reason of the defective sight.
