Increase in Fourteen Years.

In the meantime the number of
deaths due to automobile accidents and
injuries increased from 632 in the
death registration area in 1909. con-
tanning 56 per cent of the population OF
area in 1914: and the increase from 1913
to 1914. for the registration area as
constituted in 1913, then containing e5
per cent of the population of the coun-
try. was from 2,4SS to 2.195.
Thus a ffve-yea increase of aa3 per
cent-accepting as reliable the figures
compiled by the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce-in number Of
machines has been accompanied by an
fatalities; and oneyear increase of
IS per cent in number of machines has
been accompanied by an increase of IL
per cent in fatalities.
Perhaps a more reliable comparison,
from the statisticians point of view,
number of automobiles in use and the
increase in the rate per 100000 popu-
lation for deaths caused by them. This
is because, with given number of ma
chimes in use in a given area, the fla :
talities due to them will tend to be
proportional to the population of that
area. When the compa rison is made on
this basis, it appears that a five-year
increase of 715 per cent in number of
machines has been accompanied by an
increase of 25S per cent-from 1.2 to
4.3 per 100000 population-in the death
rate resulting from automobile fatali-
ties. Similarly, a one-year increase of
IS per cent in number of automobiles
has taken place along with an increase
of only 10 per cent-from 39 to 4.3 per
100.000-in the death rate charged to
them.

INCREASE FASTER
THAN MOTOR FATALITIES
Report on Number of Vehicles and
List of Accidents Made by De-
partment of Commerce.

The number of automobiles in use is
increasing much faster than deaths re-
sulting from automobile accidents. is
the statement made in report issued
by the Department of Commerce.
The report says that from 1909 to
1914 the number of automobiles in use
in this country increased more than
twice as rapidly as the number OF fa-
talitics caused by them.
one cause in the proportional de-
crease in the destructiveuess of the
automobile is said to be found in re-
duction in average annual mileage OF
machine and the care and regard
for public safety practiced by drivers.
At the close of 1909, according to fig
ures compiled bx the. National Automo-
bile Chamber of Commerce of New
York 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 100000: by the close
of 1913 it had risen to 1,270.000; and a
year later, at the end of 1914, ii was
1,150,000.
