249 Deaths In
 State In 1921 :. From Auto Smashes

Hartford, January 6-Automobile accidents resulted in 249 deaths in Connecticut in 1921, according to statistics tentatively compiled yester- day at the motor vehicle department. Although this is an increase of nine teen over the previous year, there were less accidents of that kind and fewer resulting fatalities the last half of the year then in the corresponding period of 1920. This was attributed by officials of the motor vehicle de- Partment to the result of Safety Week." which was observed through out the state in September.
 The total number of motor vehicle accidents for the past year was 235, as against 223 during 1920. but there were 1S,000 more care registered in the state in 1921, the total being 142,OO0. In proportion to the number of cars on the highways, there was a decrease of slightly more than 5 per cent. in motor vehicle fatalities In 1920. 1s.6 persons were killed for each 10000 cars registered in the state, while a study of the figures shows that 17.6 were killed during the past year.
 October proved to be the worst month for accidents this year, sue ceeding to the reputation which No vember had in 1920. It was explained at the motor vehicle department that October came too soon after the edu- cationa1 safety campaign to derive it's benefits, but that the effect was ap- parent the following month when there were only fifteen accidents com pared to thirty-six in November. 1920 Fofty of the 249 deaths for the whole year occurred in October. January had the lowest percentage, with nine deaths.
 The largest cities contributed es per cent of the fatal motor vehicle ac- cidents- Bridgeport and New Haven have twenty-three each. and Hartford twenty-one. There were ten in Wa torbllrV and eight in R,;&
