MESSAGE TO CONGRESS TODAY
AUTO TRAFFIC TAKES
APPALLING DEATH TOLL
FOR THE YEAR 1919
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Dec. THAT walk
ing the streets is becoming an ex-
ira hazardous occupation is shown
by the report of the census bu-
reau that 3,808 persons were killed
in the year 1919 in automobile ac-
cidents. The death rate from au-
tos per 100000 population is 14.1.
This is an increase over preceding
years, the rate in 1915 being 8 per
hundred thousand.
Youngstown, Ohio, enjoys the
distinction of being the most dead
iy city on the map, its mortality
from auto traffic accidents being
28.5 persons per 100000 population,
but it shows a decrease from the
previous year, when it was 31.9.
Richmond, Va, has the lowest
death rate, only So, a slight IN
crease over 1919, however, when It
was only 5.4.
A gradual decrease in fatalities
in the large cities Of Kansas City,
Mo-, San Antonio and Cleveland,
where traffic regulation has been
vigorously enforced, indicates the
possibility Of reducing accidents
by intelligent effort. Commenting
on the growing number of fatalities
the census bureau recommends
fines, revocations of license and
Imprisonment, as actual penalties
to make traffic safer.

important that, in order to make the
