SAFETY SUGGESTIONS.

Three elements must be considered
In highway accidents--the car, the
road, and the driver. According to
Sidney J. Williams Of the National
Safety Council, each OF these elements
sometimes predominates, but in gen.
eral the car is a lot safer than the
highway, and the highway is q lot
safer than the driver,
Statistics Of past years cast interest
ing light on the accident situation.
Traffic accidents among school chill
dren are on the decrease, while those
among adults are on the increase, thus
proving the value Of safety education
in schools. During the last three years
the number of commercial vehicles
involved in fatal accidents has gone
down 10 per cent, while the number
of private cars SO involved has gone
up 81 per cent. This reflects the
beneficial results Of education and
supervision Of drivers by their en-
ployers. An intensive study has shown
that states with standard drivers
license law have had 20 per cent fewer
fatalities than they would have hat
II the annual increase had continued
at the same rate as In non-license
states. Also, statistics show that re.
cent increases have been entirely ir
