IN YEARS THAN WAR

More people have been killed by au-
ton1obiles in the United States during
the past eight years than the Ameri-
can soldier dead in the World war, the
National Automobile Chamber Of
Commerce says.
From January |, 1919, to Decem-
Der 81, 1926, 1907 persons were
killed by automobiles while the total
casualties of the war in the American
army forces was 120,05o. The injured
in automobile accidents, however, were
3,500,000 since the arnistice.
Iwenty-six per cent Of the killed
and injured were children under the
age Of 10 years, according to the fig
ures. Last year it was estimated
%, 600 persons were killed, an increase
Of 1000 over 1925, and the largest
death toll ever recorded by automo-
biles for a year.
