ACCIDENTAL DEATHS

IN ERKL1 J,SUU In N. I
NEW YORK Aug. 25-Babies
who were too young to realize dan
ger, and old men who couldn't
move quickly enough to avoid it
swelled the total of accidental
deaths to 3,483 in New York City
lats year, health department re-
ports revail. This represents a de-
crease of 400 from the accidental
deaths of 1919.
Only 987 of the victims were fe-
males, while 2,496 were males.
Even among infants the death rate
for males was by far the higher,
probably, according to the health
office, because boy babies often
come to grief through inquisitive-
ness and a natural tendency to
seek adventure.
"The most important cause Of
accidental death from a numerical
standpoint is the automobile" the
