Minnesota automobile and drowning
fatalities for the week ending at
midnight Sunday were less than half
of what they were for the week end
ing July 26 when % persons met
death on the highways and in the
waters of the state. Last weeks toll
was ten. Cooler weather probably
was the greatest contributing factor
in the curtailment of the motor and
drowning death list last week. At
tendance at various municipal
beaches was reported as "small"
while motor trips for pleasure were
fewer. with the resultant decrease
in the DEATH toll.
