Few States Act to Void Menace
Of Flying Glass In Motor Accidents

In spite of an ever increasing public
sentiment insisting upon the installa-
ton OF Notifying glass in public pas
senger conveyances as Well as in pri-
vately owned motor cars, an investi-
CATION by Accident Statistics Bureau of
New York City reveals that In only
three States has legislation of this char
acter been introduced.
The three States In which members
of the Legislature have taken serious
cOgniZance OF the situation with the
preparatio of bills making the use of
safety glass mandatory in all public con-
veyances are New York, Massachusetts,
and Delaware.
Other States are, however, consider
ing the subject, according to Accident
Statistics Bureau, and reports from the
governors of Vermont, Utah, Wisconsin,
Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Mime
sofa indicate that such legislation may
be considered when the 1881 legislative
sessions convene.
In the Massachusetts, Legislature,
after q brief debate, the bill has been
introduced to Its third reading. The
wisdom of making the law applicable
to buses only was questioned by Rep
resentative Martin Hays of Brighton,
Mass, it is claimed in the Accident
Statistics Bureau report. He Is said to
have asserted that If such legislation is
so necessary for public conveyances it
should apply to all motor vehicles, pri-
vately owned, and so on. If that sit
uation came about, however, he feared,
1t 10 reported, monopoly on the part
Of shatterproof glass makers.
Representative Nutting of Leomin-
ster, Mass, did not agree with Repre-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-05-04

sentative Hays. he stated that Ill
makers of automobile glass ale now
manufacturing the laminated OF non
flying variety Of glass. He also pointed
out that inasmuch as the bill is in
tended as a public safety measure only
and the safety glass is already available
to practically every car purchaser who
desires 1t, he saw no reason why q law
should be enacted at this time to pro-
tect the private owner.
It seems to be the general opinion
in many places, says Accident Statistics
Bureau, that the flying glass hazard in
public conveyances, over which the pas
senger has no control, Is of far greater
Importance from q legislative stand
point than the safety Of the individual
who deliberately subjects himself to the
danger of scattering or flying glass.
Legislative action regarding glass
equipment in the Eastern States Is be-
ing watched very closely by some Of the
Western States. T. H. Cutler, chief
engineer of the Missouri State Highwey
Commission, for example, writes to that
effect and adds that the glass hazard is
steadily assuming growing importance
in the checking of motor accidents in
his State.

ures show that approximately one-third
Of all such deaths are due to automo-
bile accidents.
OF the total killed by automobiles last
year, 8,4O3 were killed I'm the II largest
cities OF the United States, having a
combined population of 33,O00,OOO. The
highest number. Of deaths for any one
month of last year was In october, q
total OF SIS being killed in the Is
cities, which was the largest number In
any one month since automobile fatal
ity figures have been compiled.
The increase in automobile regis
trations last year was per cent. while
the increase in fatalities was approx
mately II per cent" 1t is pointed out by
J. Borton Weeks, president of the
A. M. A. This means that despite all
the efforts being made by the combined
agencies of the Federal. State and mu-
nicipal governments to reduce the ratio
of automobile accidents, the increase
continues at an alarming rate.
THE best data available from the
largest cities of the United States, COM
prising approximately fourth of the
total population, show that the death
ratio due to automobile accidents at
the present time is 26 per 100, 900 popu-
lstion, compared with 20 per 1000 In

LOAD WEIGHTS CUT
ONDAMAGED ROADS
Northern Systems Injured by
Alternate ThaWing and
Freezing.

Following In the wake of road de-
Struction which has swept across the
northern tier of States and down as
far as Kentucky as q result OF the
alternate thawing and freezing OF q
fairly open Winter, comes the posting
of roads to reduce load limits while the
roads are being repaired OF improved
by weather conditions.
The damage, according TO bulletin
issued by the American Highway Edu-
catiOnal Bureau, has been confined
mainly to comfy and township sys-
TENS, where road types selected are not
in accordance with the demands OF
present-day traflc, although 1t has ex-
tended In some cases to q considerable
mileage In State systems. The amount
Of this damage cannot be Calculated,
says the bulletin, but it adds to the
burden Of highway engineers and tax
payers as well.
As an example Of this loss arising
from inadsQuately surfaced roads, the
bulletin proceeds, may be cited New
York, where load limits were recently
cut down on 81 roads in five counties
Jefferson, st. Lawrence, Franklin, Clin-
ton and Lewis. In the st. Lawrence
County group of Is 1t appears that all
were State highways.
State Police on Watch.
In ordering lighter loads, Commis-
sioner Brandt of the New York State
highway department declared the limi-
tation of 6 tons gross weight would
remain In effect until the notices were
removed by highway officials. State
police were instructed to be on watch
for violations. Similar steps have been
taken in other States.
"Of road problems" the bulletin con-
hA In
States where load reductions have been
ordered taxpayers are confronted with
the situation OF having paid for high
ways which they cannot use to full
capacity because of weather conditions,
and added to that loss comes the cost
of excessive repairs or perhaps COM
plete reconstruction. To avoid the an
pual recurrence Of this highway waste
there seems to be only one way out,
and that is to figure original construc-
ton, annual per mile repair cost, with
the cost of almost total reconstruction
every five-year period, and add to that
the item of lost use of the road due to
such conditions as now prevail in New
York and other States. The sum total
laid down beside the cost of road that
would save all this trouble would at
once reveal the truth that sound con-
struction at the start pays best.
Solution Is Suggested.
At any rate, If road bookkeeping
should ever get to the point where trial
balances could be strucks off each
Spring, taxpayers would be able to dis
cover where annual highway repair
losses begin and how to stop effectively
the vicious round of waste.
I'm the opinion OF many experienced
engineers" the bulletin concludes, 1.-The
80 AH.A
problem lies in better planning and
better construction, and the sooner
these principles are put into practice
the better 1t will be for taxpayers"

ROAD HOG MENACE
TO TRAFFIC SCORED
Driver Who Speeds Up to
Beat Changing Light
Also Condemned.
BY RALPH HEPBURN,
Noted Racing Pilot.

The difference between good and bad
driving depends almost entirely on the
amount of thought and concentration
the driver puts into 1t.
Almost invariably bad driving is the
result Of thoughtlessness and inatten-
ton. As q rule the new driver IL more
careful than the experienced one. HIS
inexperience nils him with the fun sig
nificance Of his responsibility and the
danger Of driving.
On the other hand, the experienced
driver becomes careless or, TO put u
more gently, overconfident OF his aoll-
ity. He or she may display this over
confidence by engaging In conversation AUG,
or by looking at the scenery while driv-
ing. Driving q car requires the full
attention Of the driver, particularly In
these days Of heavy traffic.
Road Hoss Warned.
I don't know why 1t is, but 1t seems
that I am always running into the bird
who stays in the middle OF the road
when he should be over TO the right.
He is the cause of many accidents ana
should be warned by any well meaning
driver, and certainly by law enforce
ment officials, that he is a nuisance and
q menace.
Then there is that other moron who
speeds up to rush across road Just
as the light Is changing. 1t would be
O real pleasure for me to tell him Just
exactly what think Of him.
Courtesy Should BE HabituaL
These two examples of bad driving
are direct results Of th0ughtlesSness and
rscklessness, and am making 1t my
duty to stop and talk TO this sort Of
motorist Just Is matter Of motoring
education. In the last year have
talked to about 20 transgressors OF this
type and only once has the recipient OF
my remarks become angry and told me
to mind my own business. As 1t hap
pened, I followed this driver, and 1t was
only miles from where first encoun-
tered him that I found him in the arms
(literally) Of the law. I took the trou-
BILE to add my complaint to those al
ready lodged, and / really believe he
will be o better driver when he gets his
license back.
It is true. there "a o multiplicity Of
driving regulations, and 1t Is equally
true that 1t Is almost impossible for the
average individual to keep track of all
of them. But rules of common courtesy
should not have to be remembered.
They should be habitual. Yet If they
were observed on American highways
driving conditions would show vast i'm
provement overnight. And such an
improvement would not only net great
err peace of mind for all motorists, but
1t would save hundreds OF thousands
Of dollars annually as result OF fewer
accidents.
