TRAFFIC TRAGEDIES
TOLD BY CORONER
Mcdonald and Aide Say Pc.
destrian Control Is
First Step.

The gruesome side Of traffic tragedy
was described to the radio audience
yesterday by the two men whose busi-
ness 1t is to look on the torn remains
of each automobile victim-Coroner
A. Magruder Macdonald and Deputy
Coroner Christopher j. Murphy.
Interviewed over Station WMAL in
connection with The Stars safety
campaign, they told of the 86 autop-
sizes they have performed this year
after automobile wheels have sent
them q victim.
Both agreed pedestrian control Is
the first step necessary to reduce
highway fatality. OF the SO victims
this year, IS were pedestrians, DR..
Murphy pointed out. Analysing these
IS deaths. he said IS per cent were
due to crossing in the middle Of the
block: IL per cent were caused by
stepping from between parked cars; 9
per cent crossed against a red light;
o per cent were caused by children
playing in the street, and per cent
by pedestrians who stepped into the
street from a safety zone instead of
leaving by the crosswalk.
Cites ChiIdren's Deaths.
DR.. Macdonald called attention to
the fact 16 per cent Of the pedestrians
killed have been children between
the ages of 2 and 4. and appealed to
parents to keep their children of the
streets and even of sidewalks un-
less they are cared for by a COM
petent person.
The coroner is notified Immediately
by the Central Bureau of the Police
Department after a trafic death is
verified and the coroner makes a per-
sonal investigation at the scene OF the
accident.
Some Of the scenes recalled by DR..
Macdonald and DR.. Murphy were:
"A girl who was stabbed by a dag
ger-like silver of windshield glass:
"a woman who was gored by a radia-
tor ornament as efficiently as if it
had been a bulls horn: "a man who
had shattered pieces of his rear
view mirror driven completely through
his skull and into his brain"
Assist Police.
Each body Is taken to the District
Morgue where q complete autopsy Is
performed to ascertain the exact cause
Of death and any detail that may
assist police in their investigation
of the accident.
DR.. Murphy explained exactly what
Is done at the autopsy-outlining the
incisions made both in the trunk and
head of the victim to learn just what
injuries he suffered. He told how he
had found the print Of a. tire tread on
q mans body palmer than those you
see on q wet street; how radiator cap
ornaments and other fixtures are found
within a body; how grease or paint
peeled from q fender often is found
imbedded deep within wounds.
Both made a strong appeal to the
public to drive more carefully to avoid

orators permits have signed and thor
oughly understand the safe-driving
pledge. She has given special in
struction on each of the IL points of
the safe-driving pledge.
Education Of school children In
proper methods Of crossing streets
through the use Of street charts and
model street cars and automobiles is
to be proposed to school officials by
Edward A. Hines, 1920 New York
avenue, who has developed a system
of models now used in the District
Traffic Court. the office of the District
corporation counsel at Police Court,
by the Capital Transit Co.. and by
attorneys for several local taxicab
companies.
While on the fiat OF his back in a
local hospital with a broken heel,
Hines devised system Of interchange
able street charts which can be used
to form any type Of street intersection
or series of intersections. Separate
charts are used for street car tracks.
There is no method of impressing
an actual street scene on the mind so
forcibly as the use of actual models"
Hines explained. Police and court
points can be cleared up easily through
the use of models which cannot be
settled by testimony alone. School
children are greatly impressed by
these street charts and the use Of
model street cars and automobiles
which they can move themselves, and
]. am certain that the adoption Of this
system will strongly impress upon the
minds Of the children the primary
rules for safe crossing Of the street"
The Star Councils safety campaign
has received strong support in the
columns Of the Washington North
western, community newspaper serv-
ing Columbia Heights and the upper
Connecticut avenue, Columbia road,
Sixteenth street and Georgia avenue
sections. On the front page of its
latest issue the paper carries copy
of the IL safe-driving rules included
in The Star pledge, reproduction Of
the windshield sticker of The Star
Council, with a plea to stick En-
On" and an editorial under the head,
Keep Our Streets Safe" This edi-
torial says, in part:
THE first days of school have passed
without serious injury to any of ap-
proximately 100000 school children
who regularly cross dangerous inter-
sections.
This proves the effectiveness Of
campaigns to remind auto drivers of
their responsibility for the safety Of
pedestrians, most helpless of whom are
young school children.
The Police Department, The Eve
ming Star, the American Automobile
Association and its foster child, the
schoolboy patrol, are leading factors
in keeping our streets free from acci-
dent.
"Of equal importance Is the CO.
operative attitude and practice Of
nearly all automobile drivers. without
whose willingness to be careful no
amount OF safe-driving propaganda
would be effective.
In the interest of making our
streets safe, there remains a duty on
the part Of city oficials, namely to
give all possible attention to the elm
nation Of noise"

as possible so that tabulations may be
made. While many thousands have
been returned, it is apparent that in a
number OF cases returns are being de-
layed until all cards are in the hands
of the unit safety director, so that the
unit may be in a position to report
100 per cent returns. This is not nee
essary, it was pointed out by The
Star Council today, since all returns
from companies and other units are
being filed separately and "stragglers"
will be filed with their own units until
all returns have been completed. No
unit will lose its credit for 100 per
cent cooperation through preliminary
return Of part Of its pledges.

LETTERS PLEDGE
AID TO CAMPAIGN
Star Safety Council Given
Splendid Support by
Correspondents.

Hundreds Of letters dealing with
various phases Of the safety campaign
have been received by. The Star
Safety Council. Excerpts from some
Of these letters follow:
Thank you for helping to stop the
horrible slaughter Of people in our
city-absolutely unnecessary slaughter.
I hope every motorist in Washington
will sign the safe-driving pledge and.
what is more live up to 1t. I think
most motorists are pretty careful and
considerate of others. However. when
they have one of your stickers on the
windshield it will be a constant re-
minder to keep on being careful.
For that comparatively smaller
but highly dangerous class Of motor
lists who care nothing for the safety
Of themselves or others. there is only
one thing to do-double the amount
OF fines at once and If that does not
help, double them again. That is
the only way to make some people
drive right. R. G. Vanssen, sos D
street southeast.
II am returning with this letter %
signed pledges in connection with
your safe e-driving campaign
The Star is to be congratulated for
its leadership in this very successful
work. 1 hope you will be. successful
in enrolling every driver residing in
metropolitan Washington.
H. Palmer, manager Royal Typewrit-
er Co.
II am on the Red Cross Executive
Committee of Manassas Chapter and
am willing to do what I can for safe
driving. 1t have always tried to be
careful. It's the other fellow I've al
ways had to watch and more so now
than ever before. Yours in hearty
cooperation. ."-Daisie G. Douglas,
Thoroughfare, Va.
Have read F. A. Aliens article on
driving with much interest.
II would like to say that the
reason pedestrians do not keep be-
tween the white lines at crossings is
that auto drivers stop. when they have

the white lines. thus forcing pedes-
trians to take 10 the middle Of the
street in order to cross.
Don't deprive the poor pedestrian
of the very few rights he has left.
His principal duty seems to be to get
of the earth when an automobile
comes along or else get run over.
Also have noticed times without
number when q stop is made on red
light the drivers keep inching along
until they monopolize the cross walk
in order to beat the other drivers
across."-Miss Alice Z. Whitaker,
Hotel Roosevelt.
"I wish to show my sincere appre-
citation Of your splendid effort to re-
duce fatalities through automobile
accidents and to pledge my whole
hearted cooperation in this regard.
Il must also bring to your atten-
ton the fact that there are in this
city some drivers who do not read
The Star and are practically unaware
of your splendid instructions for safe
driving, also there are many drivers
who are almost illiterate; these, In my
opinion, force the majority Of haz-
ards on the street. It would be q
splendid thing If these persons could
be kept of the streets. Joseph N.
Gownder. 1908 Euclid street.

The fact that the coroner's Office

You'd never cook two meals"
She glanced up at him and met his
long, eager look.
He was completely deceived, she
saw. Sober, his wits would have
been sharper.
Sober, he could never have plotted
as he had. And she knew that to-
morrow he would be sorry. To-
morrow when it would be too late
unless she were more clever than
he.
All her faculties were sharpened
by danger.
A LIAM stopped, kissing her hair,
L y and then went to the kitchen.
There were three exits. One at
the rear. 1t would be necessary to
pass through the kitchen that way.
There was a door leading outside
from the sun parlor. 1t was kept
locked, but there would be a key
in the lock if Ann were lucky. Some
times Sonny removed it. Ann prayed
that the key would be there.
She would go into the front of
the house, turn on the radio and
then unlock the door, putting the
key in the lock on the outside.
Then she would open the front door,
come back, step through the side
door, lock it and wait. Allan's first
thought would be to look about
probably. The door to the sun par
Tor would be locked and he wouldn't
suspect her trick.
He would dash through the front
door, get his car and search for her
on the road that led to town. He
would know she couldn't be far
away. When he didn't find her he
would return and she would be
here. In the meantime she would
have called a taxi. She would insist
that the driver write down the di-
rections. She must be sure, sure
that he would make no errors.
Ann went to the kitchen door,
humming Stormy Weather"
Stormy is right" Allan grinned.
THE bacon smells good. Supper
almost ready?"
Almost"
Ann started toward the front of
the house. ALLAN, isn't HeebIe Will
son broadcasting from the Peacock
tonight?"
Gosh, Ann" he muttered, 81
don't keep up with jazz programs"
you miss something" Ann called
lightly from the living room. She
turned on the radio. In a moment
more there was a blare of sound.
Its murderouS. Turn the darn
thing low"
"All right. I don't think this is
his program. "She was twirling the
dial, one program merging into an
other.
Il have it now. Doesn't that
sound swell?"
Under the steady flow Of melody
Ann crossed to the sun parlor and
French doors.
The key was in the lock.

This type Of reasoning was max

had looked.
IN the living room, Ann was try

I'm trapped" she was telling her
self. He planned this. I must not

It was going to be a fight. Match
ing wits.
She went into the kitchen. Allan
got up from the table, came over
TO her and pulled her head firmly
against his shoulder. Ann broke
away. saying lightly, Not now. I've
changed my mind. I do want a
cocktail"
She could see that he was pleased.
That's sensible" Allan said
You're a better sport than I
thought you were. I was afraid you
were going to whine some more
about going home"
You wouldn't take me, would
you?"
What do you think?"
Striving to keep her voice light,
to Keep her fear from showing, Ann
said, We'll, since I can't walk back
through this rain I've decided not
to be poor company"
That's the spirit. Come on in
the studio. I've had a fire there all
day. III put on more wood"
THE studio was warm. Ann sat
Il down on a stool near the fire.
watching Allan life fresh wood
from the built-in wood box, STUN
bling little as he carried it to the
fire.
I'VE don't need a light, do we,
darling?"
NO" Ann said. Its nicer in the
freight" Her face was very pale.
Hes really not bad" Ann was
reasoning. Its just that he's lived
so long with unconventional people,
people who had no morals"
Hes just a stupid boy" she was
telling herself, "or he would never
have planned this. He would never
have dreamed of doing a thing like
this, if he had not been drinking"
Stupid. half-drunk, Allan should
not be difficult to outwit. She must
play a role that would be utterly
new to her.
7 love this ROOM" Ann said.
Couldn't we have supper here?"
Supper"
Il haven't had a bite since noon.
Only a sandwich and milk then.
Where is that dinner you promised
me?"
You're hungry?"
"Ravenous."
"Of course you are. What a host
I'm turning out to be! Let's raid

you raid it while I enjoy the
fire. I'm really dead, Allan. On my
feet all day. Of course if you don't
think you can manage"
of course 7 can. I'm real
cook" He stood looking down at
her. He touched her hair, tenta-
lively careSingly.
You are adorable. Ann, you do
forgive me? It was the only way
1 knew. I've wanted you so. 1t was
like a fever-driving me mad"
What is there to forgiven" Ann
said gayly. will you make coffee,
Allan? Make it strong"
