STATE TO ASK SHAW'S LIFT
Careless Driving Writes Toll in Blood
as 90 Die in 1923 From Auto Injuries
13 Were Boys and Girls,
Slain in Childhood by
Motorists,

T~7HE record Of the carelessly
driven automobile is written
- in the blood of sixty persons
who have been killed in Marion
County since Jan. /, 1923.
Records show that out Of every
eighty-five persons who died in the
county during the year. one was
the victim Of an automobile. There
have been SOAP deaths thus far
this year
Thirteen little children were
among the fifty-nine victims
For years city and county officials
and automobile associations have
been fighting the speeder, the care
less motorist and the careless pc
destrian. Campaign after campaign
has been launched to stop the
speeder and the auto-killer.
One Auto Toll a Week
Children have been warned in the
home and in school. Posters have
emblazoned warnings.
And yet. during the past year,
when hardly a week has passed
without proposal of some new
scheme to lessen the number OF ac-
cidents, the average of deaths as
the result of the automobile has
been more than one a week.
Adding other deaths from traffic
accidents to those caused by auto
mobiles, the total reaches ninety
two
Why any man should consider
himself immune from the dangers
thus pointed out every day is hard
to understand
Mothers Heart Is Fearful
Yet, motorists continue 10 speed
on wet streets. to cut corners. and
to try TO beat trains. Pedestrians
continue to "jay-walk." "
And mothers send their children
TO school every morning with fear
in their hearts.
