POLICE RECORDS
SHOW DROP IN
AUTO CRASHES
Decrease in City Traffic
Mishaps in Six Months
Indicated in Report.

General improvement of traffic
conditions and decrease in the num-
Der of traffic mishaps as the result
of activities of the Indianapolis po-
lice accident prevention bureau are
seen in the bureaus records for the
first six months of 1929, made pub
lie today.
Automobile accidents decreased
the first half of this year more than
two hundred under the correspond
ing period for 1928, although IA
talities have shown slight increase.
Thus far in 1929 there have been
2067 accidents, with ifty-eight re-
sultant deaths reported to police,
while ninety-six persons were killed
throughout 1928 and 2,214 mishaps
reported in the first six months of
that year.
June, which authorities say al
ways is one of the chief accident
months of the year, due to increased
travel on highways, this year con-
tributed few more accidents than
the first summer month Of the pre-
ceding year.
In three years accidents in IN
dianapolis have decreased more
than 20 per cent.
In its battle against autonotive
vehicular travel dangers, the bur-
eau seeks constantly the causes of
the majority of the crashes, and
has discovered that simple lapses Of
care, and recklessness, contribute
heavily to the total disasters.
Driving on the wrong side CT the
street, exceeding the speed limits,
disregarding right of way rules, and
cutting in and out of traffic on
narrow streets and paVements
cause most smashups, the bureau
reports. Improper signaling for
turns, and failure to observe pref
erential streets and boulevards
come in for a large share of the
blame.

HOW TO KEEP WELL.
Educational Committee of the minnesota State Medic

That the world is moving too fast
for the health and happiness of the
children and that much of the ner-
vousness, exhaustion, fatigue among
youngsters is due to q lack of suffi-
cient rest is the warning issued by the
Minnesota State Medical Association
this week.
IF people are disinterested regard
ing their own health" says the bulle-
tin, "they should at leas protect that
of the children, for they cannot pro-
tect themselves Statistics compiled
by the state superintendent of public
instruction indicates that a large
number of he children of the state at
tending the grades are underweight. |"
The bulletin declares that the 'tired
business man has only himself to
blame if he burns the candle at both
ends" but pleads with the mothers of
the state to see to it that the children
are protected and given full rest.
While it is true that conventions
and customs play their part in Turing
men, women and children from their
hours of rest" continues the warning,
"the nature person is quite in the
position, for the most part, to control
his life so that the needed hours of
relaxation and sleep are obtained
They largely follow their own mature
inclinationS. But In this regard many
parents seemingly fail to realize that
children spend the late evening hours,
