The demand for beds to accom-

While Delaware now needs sixty

THE DEATH LOTTERY

Last year. in an American city of
something over 100000 population.
traffic deaths averaged approximate
ly five per day. During the early
part of January this year, deaths in
the same city caused by motoring
carlessness averaged seven a day.
The people read of this loss of life
disinterestedly, turn the page and
forget it. But the world would stand
aghast if seven similar victims were
selected each morning by lot and
sacrificed at a public ceremony.
OF course, that would be impos-
sible-but the idea may give you a
new view of the automobile accident
situation. In the city mentioned
which is no better or worse than
many other cities and townsville
odds are about a hundred and fifty
thousand to one against you being
killed on any given day. Those are
long odds-but they are considerably
shorter than the odds against a man
prize in the Calcutta Sweepstakes
which is participated in by hundreds
of thousands of Americans.
Under the lottery system of select
ing victims for sudden death, the
papers each morning could list the |
names of those drawn, and the un-
fortunates could wind up their busi-
ness and go quietly to their doom.
That opportunity isn't given to those
who are run down by speeding cars.
So remember that the chance of
you being killed by motor car is
a daily lottery and is greater than
your chance of winning a prize in
the sweepstakes in which you hope
fully gamble a dollar or two now and
then. Is dangerous driving worth
its price?
