CALL CONFERENCE TO REDUCE TERRIBLE AUTO DEATH TOLL

WASHINGTON, D. O., Dec. 13.- In an effort to decrease the appal- ling loss of life in traffic accidents, Secretary of Commerce Hoover has called national conference on street and highway casualties, to met in Washington Dec. 15, 16, IT,.
 Official statistics show that, in 1923, 22,878 persons were killed, 878,O00 injured, and more than $6O0,- O00,000 worth of property damage caused by traffic mishaps.
 Estimates indicate that 1924 will show even a more terrible casualty list from this source, and Govern ment officials deem it high time to take steps to make the highways of the nation less hazardous.
 A number of committees of the National Anti-Accident Organization have held frequent meetings during the past few months and have draft ed reports to be submitted to the national conference.

 "These committees have a mem- bership of 186 persons and cover the subjects of statistics, traffic con- trol, construction and engineering, city planning and zoning, insurance, education, motor vehicles and public relations"
 Reports of the committees will soon be ready for submission. They represent the most exhaustive at tempt yet made to get at the caus- es and remedy for accidents, accord ing to Hoover
 Officials pointd out that should the death rate during the next seven years increase as during the last similar period the annual loss of life would approach the total num- Der of American soldiers killed dur ing the World war.
