to automobiles Is very small.
Before us we have some interesting
figures compiled by a trnde publish
sr. We find that "there are today
$3.50 railroad passenger coaches in
use. having a seating capacity of g..
10000 passengers. The seating
capacity of $500. 900 automobiles now
In use Is a.. ooo. 900.
During 1922, rail facilities should
have to their credit ~. 900 900 900 pas.
senger miles. Assuming hat the
average number of passengers per
automobile Is two and the average
annual mileage is 5000 miles the
automobile must be credited with
$4,000. 900. 900 passenger miles this
year.
In other words. automobiles now in
usel will total nearly two and one.half
times the passenger mileage of rail
facilities.
The use of automobiles has showed
n Tremendous gain. In 1910 there
vere but 45l, 900 motor vehicles reg
.stered in the United States. while on
July 1. 1929. there were 1o.6os ,127.
With this great growth approaching
IN almost universal use of the motor
car, it is quite natural that there
should be an increased number Of
accidents. But the big point to bear
in mind is that the number Of acct.
dents has not increased proportion.
stely with the Increased usO of motor
cars.
Accidents caused directly or indi-
rectly by motor cars are considerably
less proportionately han those due
to other modes Of transportation. And
this is true in spite of the fact that
the latter are well regulated and es-
fablished by excellent rules and regu-
lations and the Tact hat they have
warning signals. electrical devices
and scientific methods to assist in
preventing accidents
And yet without any uniformity in
w~ell-planned and well-worked-out traf-
1lc laws. the automobile has proved
itself an efficient. harmless machine.
We do not mean in IN way to dis.
parnEe the excellent work of other
modes of transportation. but we be.
Icye that If uniform laws and regu-
lations governing the traffic OF mo-
Tor vehicles were established. the
number OF accidents due to automo.
biles would be materially reduced.
, 1923-01-07

The motor car has long since
passed put Of tho confines OF the
horsedrawn carriage. Capable OF
great distances in a single day. It
recognizes not the limitations of one
city's streets or one states highways.
1t is IN inter-city anS an interstate
vehicle. And It behooves the motor
ist to know the traffic laws of each
hamlet, town and city and of zach
state, or else he cannot drive with
safety and security.
The inequality of traffic laws
places h tourist, II he Is as con
scienuou as he should be, in a very
~perplexing -predicament.
In a strange city. he doesn't know
whether or not he is permitted to use
his spotlight. The traffic officer on
the corner has a method peculiar to
himself. In making a turn, should
the motorist pass around the officer.
In front of him or in back?
Is the motorist within the law OF
the city II he should turn around in
the middle of the block7 What ia he
expected to do when following street
cars or in passing them. Ia the safety
zone a place to avoid at all times or
only when pedestrians are standing
within II? What nre the speed laws?
And then there is the question OF
han signals, which. although given
considerable publicity, are far from
being standardized or in common use
A motorist often does not know what
10 do when he sees a driver ahead of
him make some sort OF a signal. The
preceding car is as likely to turn to
the left as It Is to the right. Or Il
may be that tho driver intends TO
stop.
In the country. the lawn OF the
highway are likewise quite dissimiar.
This is especially true In connection
with the use of headlights, which VIZ
discussed ver months ago on this
page. There IS also some differences
IN the laws respecting the kind of
headlight lenses permitted.
AS we said before, despite the lack
or uniformity in connection with ALI
of these things. the number Of auto.
mobile accidents is remarkably smal
