contemplates the immediate loan to

100000 according to figures just
compiled by the public safety de-

National Safety Council which fix
cs the average economic value of
males each year at from $3.50 TO
$3.50 and females from $3.50 to $500.
Motor vehicles were responsible
for 43 per cent of the 1856 accidental
latalitles and ~ per cent OF rne
bc,750 non-fa,&l but more or less
disabling injuries. ...
The economic loss from total ia
talitcs was 55,+2l, 100 lhc auto )
part in the loss was $2,313,073 with
219 deaths.
The total economic loss from all
non-fatal accidents was $16,263, 800,
Of which 10 per cent is charged
against motor vehicles. The total
economic loss to Los Angeles i'll
1928 from accidents, most of which
were preventable, was $21.648, 400.

figures are large, they do not take
INTO consideration the automobiles
sma,hed, machinery broken, doctors
bills, medicines and a myriad Of
ether expenses brought on by acct
dents. Neither is the human suf-
fering entailed taken into account.
In an effort to reduce this ghast
ly annual toll, the automobile club is
carrying its safety work into the
public schools and among the camp
fire girls and bOv scouts.
