Death by Motors
Increased in State

Statistics gathered by the United
States Department of Commerce show
that during 1921, l0,l6S deaths result
ed from accidents caused by automo-
biles and other motor vehicles, cxclud-
ing motorcycles, in the death registra-
tion area of the country, containing 80
per cent of the population. This repre-
sents a death rate of l.5 per 100000
population as against 10.4 in 1920; "a
in 1919, 9.3 in 1918 and 8 in 1917. Be
tween 1917 and 1927 therefore, the
death rate per 100000 population from
motor vehicle accidents increased about
% per cent. In the 27 states for which
data for 1917 is available, the actual
number of deaths of this kind increased
from COLA in that year to S,492 in
1921, an increase of Alp per cent.
California shows a regrettabe in
crease along with the other states from
which the statistics We're obtained
The number of deaths from motor We
hicles in 1927 was S76, 734 in 1920, 647
in 1919, 545 in 1918 and 55S in 1917
The rate per 100000 population was
24.4 in 1921, 21.2 in 1920, 1912 in 1919,
1877 in 1918 and III in 1917.
New York leads the states in the
number of accidents, as is but natural
considering the registration, the num-
Der of deaths in 1927 being ,633. Penn

w. a prominent turfman said recently
when asked what enabled Jockey Earl
Sande to almost inspire a horse when
he gets into the saddle.
Sande is not only the greatest rider

than Spencer Garrison, Tod Sloan,
Johnny LOTUS and other wonderful
Jockeys of the past.
Sande was so successful the last sea-
son that an immense following of his
admirers would have bet on him if he
came to the wire on Missouri mule.

be great because they have baseball
brains instinct and natural born ability;
star football players are generally
classified the same way: Sande's abb

TERM USED CARS" IS
ABUSED PHRASE
Buyers Can Feel Assured of

Used cars as the term is Sener-
ally spoken is n much abused phrase.
The same as there are degrees OF
goodness and badness in all lines OF
merchandise. there arc good and bad
used cars. The mere fact tina, an au-
tomobi!c is offered for sale as n used
car should not immediately condemn
1t in the minds OF the buying pub
lie. Dealers who from the nature OF
their business handle customers. auto

no market value or relatively
small one.

Perhaps there was time when more

tain amount of depreciation that

gardless OF how perfect mechanically
the machine may be or how good the

depreciation. Naturally the number
