Crop damage, due 20 lower tenn

wheat strength caused higher corn

and county go. there has never been
a blind or an absolutely mentally
deficient person injured by being
struck by an automobile, street car
or other vehicle on the streets OF
Detroit.
"If the blind man can ind his
way across the streets OF Detroit
and avoid injury. certainly the per-
son who can see ought 10 be able
TO do So" said Charles II. Clifford.
OF the Board OF Commerce. and a
member OF the executive commit
tee OF the Safety First society. AL
though statistics Indicate that a
certain number OF accidents are un-
agoidable. yet scarcely an incident
can be recalled OF an accident or a
near-accident when II does not ap-
pear to eye-witnesses that some
one Is TO blame.
Thousands OF instances OF near
accidents are observed daily In De
troit I believe that the pedestrians
OF Detroit owe II 10 themselves to
look and listen before they at
tempt to cross street and then TO
cross At the intersection. Jay
walkers as they are commonly
called, are ever present in Detroit.
In fact, II Is my Impression that
nearly 20 per cent Of the people
who cross the streets, rush or wan
der criss.cross and diagonally from
one side TO the other between In
tersections. paying no heed to the
painted lines at the corners Tor
their guidance and protection"
1T Is a matter Of general com
ment throughout the country that
Detroit has the best system OF
safety.zone and street intersection
markings In the country. Police
and safety frst authorities from
many OF the large cities have made
special trips to Detroit to study our
methods.
1T appears to me that while the
pedestrians are scoring the motor,
street car and other vehicle drlv-
ers for so-called recklessness, 1t
would be well for them to look to
their own movements"
