HIGH-SPEED MISHAPS CAUSE MOST INJURIES When automobiles traveling at high rates of speed have collisions there are many personal injuries to drivers or passengers, but when accidents occur between cars moving at a low rate of speed, few of the occupants are hurt, Charles M.

Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor club, pointed out this week. "In areas where speeds are low, collisions usually bring only bent fenders and broken bumpers, while on highways where speed is left to the driver's discretion personal injuries run hand in hand with automobile damage," Mr. Hayes declared. "When a car has an accident at twenty-five miles an hour, there is a heavy bump, but the occupants have a good chance to escape unharmed. "At seventy-five miles per hour, the car is moving with nine times the force it was at twenty-five, and' the person's chances of emerging unscathed from the debris are practically nil."

Here is a remarkable value. See it. Hear it Scott's, 221 East 16th. 40-2 Career at an End PARIS, FRANCE ONE OF the most recent pictures to have been made of Samuel Insull, 70-year-old fallen utilities magnate. Mr.

Insull died at the Paul Marmatton hospital In Paris after he had collapsed on the street July IS. A heart attack wrote finis to Mr. Insult's career during which he had made and lost countless millions. Mr. Insull came to Paris a few weeks ago on one of his frequent journeys abroad.

JUNE STAGES RALLY IN U. S. HOME LOANS June staged its usual rally in volume of advances by the federal home loan bank of Chicago to its member savings, building and loan asosciations, achieving $2,304,000, a new high for this particular month in the six years of the Bank's activity. The sum represented 14.3 per cent gain over June a year ago, the previous record-breaker. It was more than three times as much as the money lent the member institutions this May.

These figures sent to the federal home loan bank board in Washington this week lead to the belief that aggressive merchandising campaigns to pour out new money for home purchase and home building are underway for the summer months on the part of Illinois and Wisconsin associations which the bank serves. Their drawing upon their credit lines at the Bank this past month shows them stocking up with dollars to retail in their own communities in the form of home mortgage loans. In spite of the June comeback, the Chicago bank's advances during the first six months totaled only $4,754,929, which was less than for any similar period since 1935. This was a reflection not only of the slackened demand for home building from the first of the year on, but also of the close approach to normal of the funds coming into savings, building and loan associations so that they are not 50 dependent upon the Bank system for their loan activity. INSULL'S PURSUER TO REPRESENT OFFICIALS One of the numerous assistant state's attorneys who attempted to prosecute the late Samuel Insull will serve as a defense lawyer at a hearing next Tuesday in Criminal court in the case of the two Dixmoor officials and three policemen charged with conspiracy to extort money from motorists.

Attorney Charles Bellows, who as a special assistant state's attorney followed Insull to Greece when the deposed utilities czar fled to that country, will represent Mayor Charles Special, Police i Magistrate Charles Braun and the three village policemen, was learned yesterday. The state's case will be presented by Assistant State's Attorney Richard B. Austin, of Flossmoot. The hearing Tuesday is on a motion to quash the indictments.
