Quoted by the Associated Press

The grand total of traffic
casualties during the all but three
days less than six months period
was arrived at through consolida-
ton of traffic surveys conducted
weekly by the Associated Press,
through cooperation of member
papers in the area covered.
There were a number of out
standing accidents in all classes of
traffic. The collision of two YES
sells in the Mississippi River chan
mel near New Orleans several
months ago claimed upward of a
score of lives while train crashes
IN various sections of the south of
more or less Importance killed
equally as many.
Estimates placed the number of
grade crossing fatalities in the
states at fifty while airplane acci-
dents at the various military and
naval fields claimed like num-
Der. Drivers of horse drawn
vehicles killed were few by rea-
son of their steadily diminishing
number. The over a dozen killed
were the results of outstanding
automobile accidents. Others kill
ed were in the now ordinary auto
mobile crashes.
There were more persons killed
and injured during the month of
January than any other of the
period included with 233 deaths
and 1871 persons injured. The
January total is accounted for in
the treacherous conditions of
paved roads and highways during
the winter from snow and rain. As
the weather improved, motorists
began toking to the roeds in great
er numbers and a corresponding
Increase in the number of acci-
dents was noted after February

whale yesterday. Six whales
Sunday crossed the bow of the

board.
The whale was killed: it was
carried along for some distance
before it disappeared.
