"A study of the accident situation
in New York recently made by the
Safety Institute revealed the startling
fact that in New York 3,345 persons
were killed by accident In 1921. OF this
number 1851 deaths resulted from traf-
fic accidents; 402 Of these were children.
Motor vehicles caused S65 deaths, an
increase of 109 over 1880.

lem and make substantial reduction In
this yearly toll.
