Safe Drivers Cause Accidents, Expert Says
Ralph Lee, safety expert at the Western Safety Conference, argues that ninety percent of traffic accidents are caused by experienced drivers, not novices.

Forest Fire Losses in Maryland Estimated by Specialist
Forest fires in Maryland in 1936 reached 1,300 incidents burning 19,704 acres with property losses of 49,431 dollars and suppression costs of 4,749 dollars. Most fires stemmed from careless smoking and debris burning with man-caused incidents outpacing lightning. Winslow advises strict precautions including avoiding dry grass, campfires in woods during dry high-wind conditions, extinguishing fires with water and dirt, and starting burns after 3 p.m. to reduce risk, with crews ready to respond.
