DEATH HAZARDS IN SUMMER
20 Per Cent of Years Accidental
Deaths Occur During Summer


/ Figures covering a period of
several years, prove pretty con-
clusively that % per cent of the
years accidental deaths will oc-
cur during the three months of
June, July and August. Without
records to prove the contrary, it
would appear that one-fourth of
the year should include only one
fourth of the fatalities. A knowl-
edge of the hazards most promin-
ent in summer is valuable. With
this information at hand it is pos
sible to take those precautions
that will lead to the greatest de-
gree of summer safety. Drowning
is the most prominent type of fa-
tai accident during this season.
This is not because it is response
Die for the most deaths (motor
vehicle fatalities are more fire.
quent but because the proportion
of drowning deaths which occur in
the summer is larger than the pro-
portion of any other type of acci-
dental death. Over one-half of all
the deaths from this cause occur
during the three months of June,
July and August. The swimming
hazard, of course, will be reduced
when more people learn to swim
and when good swimmers avoid
taking unnecessary risks. Also
and this is Important is es-
sential that the swimmer learn
the technique of the prone pres
sure method of artificial respira-
tion. Approximately $50 lives are
saved each year in drowning cases
along by prompt application of
these principles. Drownings are
followed by deaths from electric
shock, not including lightning with
AZ per cent occurring in the sum-
mer months. Here again, Luivers-
al knowledge of prone pressure re-
suscitation would cut down the
toll. In the transportation field,
30 per cent of the fatal aeroplane
accidents, % per cent of the rail
road fatalities, and 26 per cent of
the motor vehicle fatalities occur
during the summer. Auto drivers
need to take extra precautions in
their summer touring. When they
get away from the familiar haurts
they find strange highway hazards
Grade crossings bob up unexpact-
edly, regulations and signs may
not be the same as those to which
they are accustomed, and the tend
ency to divide attention between
the wheel and the scenery is great.
Summer deaths from accidental
poisoning amount to % per cent
of the years total. These deaths
include food and animal poisonings
as well as other types. Excessive
heat is almost exclusively a hot
weather hazard. Too much ex-
posure to the suns rays brings
the condition about. It can be
avoided through the development
