THE DEATH TOLL GROWS


The Travellers Insurance Co., of Hartford, the
most reliable authority fatalities and accidents
on American highways announces that 2S,4OO
persons were killed and 900 injured in high
way and street accidents in the United States dur
ing the first ten months of 1884, an increase of
16 per cent over fatalities of last year 1t is be-
lieved that the fatalities of the year will exceed
SO ,OOO which will establish record
Analysis of the figures shows that 48 per cent
of those killed in street and highway accidents
were pedestrians against less than as per cent
for all OF 1888. Collisions of motor vehicles with
street cars bicycles and fixed objects have caused
the death of more persons than last year and the
killed due to collisions between automobiles are
about 90 per cent of the total for ten months.
The Influence of liquor is shown in the state
ment that of all drivers involved in automobile
accidents the number of intoxicated drivers has
increased "a per cent while intoxicated pedestrians
involved in automobile accidents has increased
more than SIS per cent compared with last year.
1t is apparent that careless and reckless driving
and liquor have been large contributors to this
frightful loss of life The people of the country
become aroused over reports of epidemics of in
fantile paralysis sleeping sickness typhoid fever
and losses in storms and at sea, yet accidents On
highways and streets of the United States cause
more deaths and injuries than all of them together

NO DEATHS FROM AUTOS


Would licensing automobile drivers help de-
crease highway deaths in North Carolina?
The answer is emphatic and specific. 1t is con-
tanned in news dispatch from Raleigh about the
CITY of Greensboro and states the facts more con-
vincingy than any rhetorical argument could state
them. Here it is:
Greensboro hadn't fatality in the slaughter
by automobiles in October that ran the murder

cidents reported for October 1884 Zone man who

the police have been trained by

The Pacific Coast conference has
a new team to beat" in its ranks
today and that club is the Univer-
sity Of Washington. taught to 60
places by Jimmy Phelan.
Although each weekend sets up
a new contender whom somebody
else blows off the pedestal the next
week in this topsy turvy football
season, Washingtcn's performance
Saturday stamped the Huskies
from Seattle as the team Stanford
and California must beat in their
ambitions to play football next
year in Pasadena.
In defeating Oregon, 1866, Wash
ington showed the ability to drive
straight ahead for scores. They will
have two weeks to rest from their
feat in scoring on Oregon for the
first time in seven years. Then
they will meet California, Oregon
State and Stanford on successive
Saturdays.
Perhaps Washington looked so
good this past weekend because
most CT the other conference teams
didn't. For California eked out a

defeat il as many weeks, the first
time that ever has happened since
Howard Jones came to the Trojan
stronghold; and Stanford although
defeating Northwestern 300, tri-
umphed largely because of the ab-
solute weakness OF the other team
more than because of its own
strength.
