SUB THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE ESTABLISHED 1873 LINDBERGH LANDS IN PARIS WHOLE FAMILY JILL OBSERVE SAFETY WEEK Parents, Children, Teachers, Pupils, Breachers to Cooperate in Work PLAN SAFETY PROGRAMS State Council Meets at Minot May 25 and 28 to Discuss State Problems Parents and children, teachers and pupils, preachers in their pulpits and the people in the street will join next wVek in observing North Dakota's first safety week, according to information received here by officers of the state safety council. The Abject of the observance, proclaimed by Governor A. G. Sorlic and endorsed by the mayors of most North Dakota cities, is to bring every citizen to a realization of the fact that safety is a personal matter and fundamental to bis peace and happiness, Frank Milhollan, president of the council, said. Instructions have been sent out by the state superintendent of public instruction directing safety programs to bo held in the schools with a view to impressing upon children the'need for safe-guarding their own lives and those of others.

Service to Aid Kiwanis, Rotary, Lions and other service clubs have volunteered to aid in the work to their best ability and luncheon meetings of these organizations this week will be given over, in most cities of the state, to consideration of ways of promoting safety. Hundreds of have promised to make safety the subject of their sermons Sunday and others will, id addition, broadcast safety talks over the radio. we can induce every person in state to realize that this is not just another campaign but an effort to save thousands of lives and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth property we shall have taken a long step toward the goal of public and private Milhollan said. we can get the people of North Dakota to appreciate close connection between safety and happiness and prosperity the efforts of the North Dakota Safety Council will have been repaid. Our goal is to reduce accidents of all kinds to a minimum.

Success means that we will save hundreds of lives and prevent thousands of other lives from being blighted by grief and financial Scores, if not hundreds, of children are orphaned every year in North Dakota as the result of accidents which take the life of the breadwinner, a preliminary survey by the safety council shows. In many cases ii means that counties are called on to render aid to dependent chldren and others thus emphasizing the economic as well the humanitarian benefits of constructive safety work. Council MeeU The greatest safety observance this week will be the convention of the state safety council to be held at Minot, May 25 and 26. Approximately 150 of North business and professional leaders are scheduled to attend and Milhollan hopes to see additional impetus given to the movement, launched a year ago at a meeting in Bismarck. Realizing the economic importance of safety, scores of business houses and public utilities are making it a regular feature of their work among employes, Milhollan said, and are giving splendid support to the work of the safety council.

Although fully cognizant of the value of safety from a humanitarian standpoint their interest is, in the main, financial, Milhollan said. They realize that a workman sound and well is an asset. One who is injured add 4 to their compensation insurance costs and forces them to obtain a less skilled man to take the plaee of one who is Activities Not Limited Activities of the state safety council will not he limited, as some persons apparently believe, to an effort to "reduce the number of automobile accidents, Milhollan emphasized. Close attention is being paid to the problems presented by the large number of automobile accidents but the council also is taking steps to launch safety work along 'the lines of fire prevention and the prevention of industrial and other accidents. Incomplete statistics show that almost as many persons are drowned in North Dakota yearly as are killed in automobile accidents.

About IS are burned to dtith each year. In a pamphlet prepared with a view to educating ministers to the aims and purposes of the safety movement, it is pointed out, and that the safety movement is a "splendid example of applied The church Is interested in safety, It la pointed out, because It Is primarily Interested in human welfare and aceidenti take 85,000 lives per year in the United Su 8, Yearly Tell The accident hill, it Is pointed out, totals year, not including delays and other Indirect costs. In addition to the 88,000 killed about 8,660.000 persons are injured each year, their injuries being serious enough to keep them from work for a day or more. This does not include an estimate of aec dents occurring in the home, although 20,000 persons suffer fetal accidents in their own homes each year. A preliminary study made by Dr.

A. A. Whittemere, state health director, chows that North Dakota experiences its proportionate share of the accD dents reported for the entire country. He now is outlining system which hopes will he effective in providing accurate statistics on the causes and results-of accidents.

REFUGEES ARE STILL FLEEING FLOOD WATERS; Possibility Expressed That Mississippi River May Be Changing Course New Orleans, May 21. that the Mississippi river might be changing its course so that in the future the stream would run to the Gulf of Mexico through the Atchafalaya basin, occupied river engineers here today. The opinion that this might happen was expressed by Major John Gotwals after survey of the situation at Melville. George Schoolherger, chief state engineer, and John Klorer, New Orleans levee board engineer, said they believed it impossible. Refugees continued to pour out of Coupee parish as a result of a warning issued by M.

Parker, state relief director. A crevasse in the levees in Pointc Coupee would inundate about 2,000,000 acres, the last of the fertile section, and affect about 100,000 persons. The danger zone is from 130 to 150 miles above New Orleans on the west side of the Mississippi. As a result of a warning delivered personally by Secretary of Commerce Hoover to penitents of the St. Martinville section; the stream of refugees pouring into Lafayette was growing greater.

Roads were clogged with trucks, automobiles and wagons moving out of the doomed section. Telephone advice from New Iberia was that refugees from Loreauville and other points in the lower Teche country already had started to pour in there. Arnaudville, Cecilia, Port Barre, Leonville, Henderson and other settlements already were under from three tp ten feet of water. The water, which is coming from the breaks in the Bayou des Glaises levees and the Atchafalaya levees at Melville, was reported to be rising.

D. RECORDS HEAVY VOLUME OF LAND SALES Minnesota Immigration Commissioner Pays Tribute to What State Has Done St. Paul. May By far the heaviest volume of land business that is being recorded anywhere in the agricultural section of the midwest is now taking place in North declares O. 11.

Smith. Minnesota commissioner of immigration, in a statement printed in the issue of the bulletin mailed out this week. The statement is a tribute to what North Dakota has accomplished through organized effort. Jt continues: According to thg agricultural census figures, Dakota had in 1925 precisely 1,720 less farms in operation than it had in 1920 with 1,887,341 less acres included in farms. Economic conditions were extremely bad and farmers were throwing up the sponge and quitting and leaving the state as fast as they could get out.

As is usually the case, many of them left just about the time they should have In other words, they sold out or quit just as land values began to come back, with the result that someone else will reap the profit. About a year ago a iterie of leading business men and prominent farmers formed an organization under the title Greater North Dakota association with the object in mind of North Dakota' buck on the An advertising campaign involving the expenditure of 8150,090 per year for a period of five years was worked out, meetings were- held in practically every county in the state and pledges for the necessary funds were easily procured. The program involved not only the bringing in of new settlers from other states, but also of the state to its own people. Diversification and improved farming methods and other measures were adopted to bring the state back on its feet in un economic way. People Are Optimistic The promotion of the new organization had a salutary effect on the entire state.

Optimism took the place of pessimism; hope for the future displaced the dismal gloom that had pervaded the entire state; boosting took the place of knocking; the many good thnigs that North Dakota enjoys were emphasized, while its shortcomings were minimized. Comparisons with conditions in other states brought out the fact that after all North Dakota is a mighty good state to live in at the present and to tie to in the future. Instead of continuing to lie down and quit, everybody began to work and and today a new' spirit of progre4siveness, a determination to build up and develop their state to its utmost capacity has permeated the entire population of the state. Confidence has been restored, money is coming out of hiding, business has improved and there is greater hope for the future than has been Apparent in that state for many years. The work of thp new organization daring the first jfear of its existence was-largely devoted to restoring the morale of its own people and the building up of a more profitable agriculture.

The effect of this is demonstrated by the large number of land purchases that have been made during the past two raontliSf a partial list of which was published in on. page taraaj SPITZER FOUND GUILTY-WILL SEEK NEW TRIAL Jury Convicts Ashley Man of Second Degree One Year Linton. N. May to The Tribune in the trial of Adolph Spitzer. who was convicted of second degree manslaughter here last night, may result in a new trial for the man whose car hit Leroy Ynnormy and killed him.

A jury in district court here returned a verdict of guilty of manslaughter in the second degree last night and recommended a one-year prison sentence. Today, J. M. Hanley, chief defense attorney, announced that a motion to set asidp the verdict and grunt a new trial will be argued before Judge George M. McKenna Wednesday, when Spitzer is to be sentenced.

if a ley said that the scenes attending the trial, when a girl playmate of the Vanormy boy and the mother broke down and wept while testifying for the prosecution. as well as the showing of the bloody clothing to the jury, might have prejudiced the jury and for that reason the motion will be iiyule. The verdict jvas returned after approximately seven tieliberation. The group retiVed at 2 o'clock and brought in its verdict shortly before nine last night. Spitzer, present when the verdict was announced, showed emotion.

In his instructions to the jury, Judge McKenna said it could bring in a verdict of either first or second degree manslaughter or of not guilty. A statement issued by attorneys for the prosecution characterized the ease as and declared they had been careful not to let any errors on which the case might he reversed creep into the record. They expressed themselves as satisfied that the record would stand. Hanley said that as far as he could remember there had been no case in North Dakota where the death of a person was involved that so light a sentence had been given.
