disabling injuries tOtaled 100000,
and the economic loss was $3.20O.-
100000.
improvement General
The council said the improvement
was general in every classification
OF accidents except the domestic
one. For the first time in 10 years,
accidental deaths in the home ex-
ceeded the number of traffic fatali-
ties.
Except for 1892 and 1888. last
years accidental death rate of 73
for 100000 population was the low
est since 1922, and only six years,
the council reported, had lower rates
since national records first became
available in 1900. Those years were
1919, 1920. 1921. 1922, 1882 and 1888.
The chief factor in the cOuntry's
exceptional showing was a - per
cent reduction In traffic deaths, a
saving of 7,640 lives, and a drop
from 39,643 in 1887 to $4,000 in 1898.
OccupatiOnal fatalities fell from
$4,000 in 1887 to 1900 in 1898, a
reduction of III per cent. Deaths in
public accidents not involving motor
vehicles declined eight per cent.
from $4,000 In 1887 to 16.50O last
year.
Home Accidents Increase
In the home, however, accidents
increased two per cent. from $4,000
in 1887 to 32,500 in 1888, outrunning
the national traffic toll by 500.
Accidental falls, as heretofore.
were responsible for more deaths
than any other one cause except
traffic accidents. The total was ap-
prOximately 25.000-1 900 fewer than
in 1887. Burns caused about 5000
deaths. drownings 1000" the council
said.
"rhe improved safety record for
1888 caused 1000 fewer accidental
deaths among children under Is
than in 1897, and 5000 fewer among
persons over Is. The decline was
eight per cent for children and 10
per cent for the older age groups"
All-fatality reductions were steady
throughout the year, the council
said. each month showing an i'm
provement over the corresponding
month of the year before. The most
impressive reduction was in Febru-
ary.. which achieved a ii per cent
drop.
or SO states reporting for at least
10 months, q showed curtailed cas-
ualties. The greatest decline. % per
cent. was reported by Michigan.
Maryland was second with a reduc-
tion of 81 per cent.
