INJURIES
BY AUTOMOBILES
Number Of Machines In
creases, But Injuries
Not in Proportion.

Washington, D. C.. Jan. 22.-Is the
! deadliness Of the automobile Inereas-
ing or decreasing
This question seems to be answered
in very conclusive manner by the
bureau Of the census, in making pub
lie some preliminary mortality statis-
tics for the year 1914. which indicate
that during the five years from 1909
use IN the United States increased
more than twice as rapidly as the
number OF fatalities caused by them.
- Al the close of 1909. according to
nBures compiled by the National Auto
mobile Chamber of Commerce. of New
ork city, from state registration re-
ports. due allowance being made for
duplicate registrations. the number Of
automobiles in use in the United States
was approximately 200, 1000: by the close
OF 1913 il had risen TO 1870. O0O: and a
year later, at the end of 1914, it was
1,G50,00O
deaths due TO automobile accidents and
injuries increased from 632 in the
death registration area in 1909, con-
tanning SO percent of the population of
the United States, to 1928 in the same
area in 1914; and the increase from
1913 TO 1914. for the registration area
as constituted in 1913. then containing
90 percent Of the population of the
Thus a five year increase of 775 per-
cent-accepting as reliable the figures
compiled by the National Automobile
Chamber Of Commerce-in number Of
machines has been accompanied by an
increase Of 315 percent in automobile
fatalities; and one year increase of
81 percent in number Of machines has
been accompanied by an increase of
L percent in fatalities.
Perhaps a more reliable comparison,
from the statistician's point of view,
can be made between the increase in
number Of automobiles in use and the
increase in the rate per 100000 popu-
latiOn for deaths caused by them. This
Is because with a given number of ma
chimes in use in a given area. the IA
talIties due to them will tend to be
proportional TO the population Of that
area " hen the comparison is made on
this basis, IL appears that five year
increase Of 415 percent in number Of
machines has been accompanied by an
increase Of 25S percent-frOm IL TO
4-5 per 100000 pOpulauOn-in the
death rate resulting from automobile
fatalities Similarly, a one year in
crease Of 50 percent in number Of
automobiles has taken place along with
an increase Of only 10 percent-frOm
SO TO A3 per 1o0.O0O-in the death
rate charged to them.
One cause of this proportional de-
crease in the destructiveness Of the
automobile is undoubtedly to be found
in a reduction in average mileage per
machine; but. after due weight is
given this factor. and a suitable margin
IS allowed for possible error resulting
from inaccuracy in the estimated pOr-
ton of the automobile statistics, the
figures still appear to furnish ample
justification for the conclusion that the
automobile of today is being driven
with more care and more regard for
public safety than it was 4 few Year,
ago

OLDEST HOUSE m OHIO
Report As Read ny Waldo RObuck
Of the West Union schools.

The oldest house in Ohio Is To-
Gated in Adams county on high bluff
overlooking the Ohio river, about four
miles above Manchester. General Mas
sic, the founder Of Manchester, visit
ed this place in 1891, and was so
charmed with II that he proceeded to
locate It as his own, and built a
cabin of buckeye logs, calling 1t Buck
eye Station.
Several years later he proceeded
to erect a large frame house, then a
very great undertaking. The boards
we're sawed by hand, with whipsaws
and every nail in II was made by hand
on an anvil. The house is only one
story high, but has two very large
chimneys, one single and one double.
The house faces the south with a side
front to the east.
Two rooms of this house face the
east and between them is the great
double chimney. To the west is a
wing with hall and one large room
with the other stone chimney at the
west end.
The house is still standing and is
occupied at the present time by MIR.
