civic organizations where there are

corrective work for these districts can
be administered from state capitals.

1t is planned to coordinate much OF
the existing safety effort along lines
which will make that effort perma-

New ways of appealing to the in

of responsibility and craftsmanship,
are being sought. Statewide school
programs are being started. Organiza-
tions, under the leadership of the Ma

adoption of uniform laws, including
standard drivers license legislation,
and adequate administration of law
enforcing bodies. They will attempt
to standardize accident reports, pro-

The National Safety Council will
place eight field men in key points of
the United States to coordinate the
work. Booklets, written in popular
style and explaining the methods of
successful campaigns along engineer

will be prepared for nationwide dis,

accidents soaring TO a new all-time
mark. There were sc, 400 traffic deaths,

these deaths-hideous, painful messy

What may come as surprise to

by wide margin. In 1894, GO per cent
of all such fatalities occurred in the

to 60 per cent in 1885.
