MANY PEOPLE AS INDUSTRIAL

The perils of commercial AVIATION
do not compare with the devastating
motor menace, which is exactlng a
terrific toll of human life through

executive committee of the National

There are obvious reasons why the
problem of making public highways
safe for the people who own them
should be given immediate consider
alton by the automobile makers of
the country, unless they expect soon
to be confronted by a great volume
of hostile public opinion, stretching
from coast to coast, said S. j. Will

National Safety council.

that $4,000 persons were carried

during the last year with very few
accidents and but one fatality" the
councils statement continued.
Statistics for the current year in
this country show that three times as
many people are being killed by au-
tomobiles as in all the factories,
mines, railroads and other indus
tries in America.
lone person is killed by an auto
mobile in the United States every 35
minutes, and the menace is growing
all the time, almost in proportion
to the increase of the machines in
use.
sit is estimated there will be 10,-

by the end of 1920, and the number
probably will continue to grow ire
