AUTO IS HAZARD
 FOR AGED PEOPLE
$500 Men, Women Over
 65 Years Killed :. Annually

New York, N.. r., Sept. 2S.-Re- sponSible annually for the death In this country of $500 men and wo- men who have reached the age ot 6S, the automobile has become an outstanding hazard to aged persons since 1t claims proportionately more victims In this age group than in any other, according to statisticianS of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. They base this latte, statement on the mortality experi- ence of the, company's industrial policyholders,
 Among this important croSs-Sec- ton of the general population, l7 boys in every 100000 between the ages of l and l4 die each year as the result of automobile accidents and the death rate among men lS to 64 years of age Is A per 100000 while at ages eS to "A the rate rises to tho high figure of l03 deaths i1 every 100000. The situation Is the same among women but the range OI EuVSS IS AHuCAl AVWSA' &hV NSAWA rates range from per 100000 at ages to i4 to 34 per 100000 for ages e5 to 74,
 "The explanation for the unsa- vorable situation of the aged lies In their inability to cope with the fast starting and fast moving traf- fic of today" the Statisticians say, and point out that more than three quarters of the aged persons killed In motor vehicle accidents, In the Metropolitan experience, were pe- deStrians, while among persons 10 to 64 pedestrians comprised but one- third Of the total.
 "The old arc very largely depen- dent for their safety upon the care- fulneSS and courtesy of drivers" the statiSticians say. We must not confuse them by blowing the horn. We must often curb the impulse to step on the gas the instant the traf- fic light turns green. Common re spect 10" age demands that we watch for the old with particular care, especially ct crossings"
