3,SOS KILLED IN
AUTO LAST YEAR
Rate Is 1f.I ont of Every 1OO.0OG
Population in United states

Washington, Dec 5. CDy the Assoc
ciated Press) A total of 3,S0S persons
were killed in automobile accidents. or
died as a result Of injuries therefron.
during the last year the Census bureau
announced to-day in statement Of
fering suggestions for traffic improve
ment. An automobile accident death
rate of al out Of every 100. 900 If
population was reported for 1919. an
increase over every year since 1915
when the rate was so, and an increase
of 245 in the total number of deaths
over 1918.
increase of 24j in the total number ~
deaths over 1918.
Each year it becomes moro aud
more dangerous for Il person to walk
the streets" the census bureaus state
ment said the reason usually given,
and probably the correct one. is that
the number of automobiles in use is
constantly increasing. How then shall
this ever increasing danger be lessen
ed? The obvious remedy is to improve
constantly the traffic regulations to
keep pace with the ever increasing
number Of automobiles.
This call for better and better trait c
regulations is not - tanctul one, Everyone
is familiar with the necessity for slow and
orderly progress when a crowd energies
from a circus tent and, similarly auto
mobile traffic must be owed down and
controlled until it becomes safe, The 1919
rates for Kansas City, Mo, san Antonio
and Cleve and, all much lower than for
1918. furnish Il ray of hope that we are
finally waking up
Suggestions made by the bureau for
traffic Improvement follow:
Erection AT street crossings of curbed
tha I1r
cerous spots. should be very close
together.
Construction Of additional crossings in
the midd of blocks. where automobiles
can approach from only two directions.
Demonstration of great skill in driving
each machine before granting driver
license for that machine.
Reduction OF the speed limit, especially
at crossings.
Fine. revocation of license. and inpris-
onTnent each to have its place as an ac-
