T.. Dill, here yesterday after he had
listened to several accident cases
which were brought before him.
"Seventy-five per cent OF the auto

Mr.. Dill asked that parents try to
keep their children off the streets,
and especially to prevent them from

ways. The practice of sending the
small children to the corner store
with a nickel wrapped up in the

lauded the New Jersey law on the
subject of driving by intoxicated
persons as the best in the country.
The law makes a Jail sentence OF
from 80 days to six months manda-
tory. and provides for revoking or
the license for a year.
The commissioner asserted that
since the signing OF the armistice.
more Americans have been killed In
auto accidents than lost their lives in
France.
An unusually pathetic case came
before the commissioner yesterday
when he examined George cShmitz.
