STATE, BUT COULD BE I'M
PROVED.
Minnesota had one automobile
death" for every 1,450 cars registered
in 1925, according to statistics COM
piled by the National Conference on
Street and Highway Safety. Only
five states, Iowa, North Dakota, Ne
braska, Kansas and Colorado had a
better record. Iowa had only one
death for every 2,190 cars. The aver
age for the nation was one death for
923 cars. Florida had a death for
every 597 cars and New York one for
every 731 cars.
The large cities showed higher
ratio of deaths than the smaller cities
and rural districts. This accounts in
part for the higher proportion of ac-
cidents in the eastern states. Mime
sofas death rate, however, was lower
in 1925 than in 1924, there being 14.5
for every 100000 population in 1924
and 1873 in 1925.
The Minnesota department has
made safety the first consideration,
both in it's construction and mainten-
ance programs, by eliminating grade
crossings, sharp turns and other haz-
ards and marking all dangerous
places. This has undoubtedly con-
tributed to the good record here. The
newspapers of Minnesota have been
liberal in publishing safety propagan-
da and this also has helped material
ly in reducing the accident toll.
1t is believed the 1926 figures when
compiled will show further reduc-
ton, but the toll is still heavy. Con-
tinued safety work, which includes
further elimination of road hazards,
betted traffic laws and more uniform
enforcement, and repeated warnings
to both drivers and pedestrians to be
cautious, are needed to bring about a
further reduction in fatal accidents.

ever, to avoid excessive distortion Of
the great land mass OF Europe-Asia,
extending far up toward the pole, it
has been considered best to split the
map close to the boundary between
Europe and Asia. By doing so a far
better picture of the shape of this land
mass Is obtained than Is given by the
familiar Mercator map. This also has

merce and the Coast and Geodetic Sur
vey, has prepared an equal area world
map we'll adapted to correct presenta-

are horizontal, parallel with the Equa-

tortion in distances elsewhere on the

so adjusted that areas are correct.
The land distances, which are the
more important, are especially close to
