 Lights Missing
 At night, because of the ab- sence of lights or reflectors on their wheels, they loom up sud- denly in the path of car. In the heyday of the bicycle in the gay nineties laws requiring the carry ing of lights after dark were strictly enforced, while today, with road hazards vastly increased by the automobile, few cyclists take the trouble to carry light at night. It is very fortunate that in some states and localities the au- thorities have taken steps to rem edy this situation. Motorists, themselves, also, must contribute their share in reducing the toll"
 Among the suggestions made to reduce these accidental deaths are construction of more cycling paths, school instruction, parental in- fluence, strict enforcement of traffic regulations relating to bicycling, and the requirement. that bicycles be equipped with proper lights and ref1ectors for night riding.

The boy and his bicycle are be- coming an increasingly serious traffic hazard, statisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance com- pany report. Deaths caused through collisions between auto mobiles and bicycles were double the number in both 1886 and 1887 of those resulting from such &C., cidents in 1885, and the brunt of these fatalities has been borne by youth.
 Revival Noted
 Although cycling has enjoyed marked revival of popularity among adults also, more than three quarters of the deaths through bicycle e-automobile colli- sion accidents among the insur- ance company's male industrial policyholders in 1937 occurred in the age period 10 to 19 years. Among women and girls fatal ac- cidents of this kind were almost negligible.
 Estimates for the United States place the number of deaths re- sulting from collisions between bicycles and automobiles at about TOO in 1886 and in 1887, and about $50 in 1885. The explanation for this sudden increase appears to lie in the increasing use of public highways by boys riding bicycles.
 Motorists will not be surprised at these findings" say the static ticians. "The unpredictable actions of boy cyclists have given them many anxious moments. Youth ful cyclists will sWerve suddenly and widely, often in the direction of an approaching car. They cut across traffic lanes, pedalling furi- ously, and depending on their speed and skill for safety. They dart into a road from between parked cars, quite often with an- other lad sitting on the handle bars. Many of them will race along in front of an automobile for
