AS ACCIDENT CAUSE
Distraction of Driver Leads
to Most Crashes, Is Of
ficiaIs Views.

Inattention and generally poor judg-
ment are cited as outstanding causes
of motor vehicle accidents by E. Aus.
tin Baughman. Maryland motor vehi-
Gle commissioner.
aside from the more deliberate
offenses of omission or commission
involving recklessness and criminality,
inattention. lack of judgment, timidity
and inability to judge distance are
contributing causes to the vast ma
iority of accidents" says Mr.. Baugh-
man.
THE basic reason for each accident
always is to be found in the failure
Of someone to react properly to
given set of circumstances. In other
words. the mind is misled. and because
of some mental error unexpected con-
ditions arise which further mislead
until an extreme - reached and an
accident occurs.
'In statistics of motor vehicle acct
dents inattention is most predominant
as cause. According to reliable sta
tistics, 1t accounts for nearly half of
the accidents and, as a heading for
accident causes, literally covers a
multitude of sins 1t is rarely crimi-
nal and almost every one is guilty
of'it to some degree. The more COM
mon consequences Of inattention are
found when something other than
the act being performed claims the
operators mental activity. Inatten-
ton and distraction of attention are,
so far as motor vehicle accident terms
go. about the same thing.

any length of time at any object other

similar mental activity should be
taboo while driving. II the sign or
other object of interest is of sufficient
importance to require the drivers at.

the side and stopped.

cause the new car stands for a lot Of

You can fill up a new muffier with

With the automobile apparently re-
adjusted almost to the fullest possible
extent in relation to the conditions
under which it operates, motordom
now is anticipating future changes in
those conditions which will make the
motor vehicle an even more useful and
efficient unit than it is at present.
Evidences of this new arrangement
are to be seen in various parts of the
country, but it is the view of far
sighted observers that the future holds
far more progress in this direction
than thus for has come to light.
This whole trend is a reversal Of the
process that brought the automobile to
its present state of popularity. In it's
development, the automobile was
forced to fit itself to it's environment.
Roads were rough. so cars We're de-
signed to ride we'll under disadvan-
tages. Hills were steep. so engines
were built to supply the necessary
power for climbing. Streets and roads
were poorly lighted, so automobiles
were provided with headlights. But
the automobile has gone about as far
as it can.
Highway Illumination Proposed.
Now the Nation is planning even
tually to illuminate the highways so
the automobile will not have to fight
it way through the darkness. This
will eliminate, automatically, the ter
ror Of binding headlights and the
other dangers of night driving.
There will be provided proper places
for the automobile when it isn't being
used. Until now the tendency has
been to redesign the automobile to
CinNfDlifN ri -irrr hut
to have gone the limit in this respect
An unreasonable attitude toward the
automobile now is regarded as the
basic reason for the many problems
that have developed with the increas.
ing popularity Of motoring. The argu-
ment is strengthened by an interesting
comparison with the steam locomotive
Instead OF struggling to redesign
the steam engine to make it powerful
enough to pull up steep grades, the
engineers turned their attention to
building the roadbed as level as pos
slble and never considering anything
approxmatng hill.
In most cases the roadbed was built
several feet above the level of the
country it traversed to provide good
drainage and to enable the locomotive
to get the best possible traction. In
automobile transportation. however,
drainage has been given little thought,
and automobile wheels have had to
work under the most unfavorable cir.
cumstances.
Safety Held "Group Affair"
It never has been railroad practice
to rely entirely upon the locomotive
engineer for safety. Safety has been
a group affair, product of a far.flung
plan. Signals were properly illumi-
mated. Railroad crossings in some
cases were eliminated in favor of the
underpass. And even where highways
| crossed the railroads provision was
made for safeguarding the train pas
sengers against other kind of traffic.
The aforementioned arrangement has
not been general success because it
was one-sided. Too little has been
| done to arrange matters so that the
automobile would be safe in the vi.
cinity of steam trains.
Millions of dollars worth of equip
ment and fortunes spent on research
could have been saved had an effort

Biannual or Biennial?

New Jerseys Legislature has for
years been meeting annually. Once in
a twelvemonth it's sessions have been
held at Trenton, and. there being no
time limit, have cost the State heavily.
Now ii is proposed TO cut the expense

years. Recently constitutional
amendment was drafted for submis-

some reason or other those who
framed ii chose the word "biannuap'
TO describe meetings held every other
year After the adoption Of this pro.
posed amendment by the Legislature,
too Late to effect change, it was
noted that according TO most authori-
ties "biannual' means twice a year, in
stead of every other year. Whereupon
the Democrats. who are in the minor
ity in the Legislature, raised an issue
on this use Of the word and an
nounced that they would appeal to
the courts to prevent the submission
or the amendment 10 popular NoeS'
There was a great turning Of the die
tionary leaves, and sure enough II was
/ found that the three major authorities,
| Standard, Webster and Century die
/ tiona les, define "biannuar' as twice a
/ year, or semi.annual, while biennial
/ is with similar unanimity declared to
/ signify ppra I'm two wears It being
! impossible to amend the amendment
or to go through the procedure of an.
| other draft. the Republicans, &C II
! tuting the majority, have caused the
| adoption Of a concurrent resolution

was used in the proposed amendment
as synonym for 'biennially." With
this specification 1t Is proposed to al
