out that accidents increase IS to 40
per cent in northern states during

20 per cent In southern states ac-

that nineteen months Of the last

American soldiers, while during the
past nineteen months $3.50 per-
sons were killed in automobile acct
dents in the U. s.
Judge Porter, who Is general
chairman of the National Safety
Councils street and highway traffic
section and president Of the Safe
Winter Driving League, declared
that the latter figure represented a
90 per cent reduction In traffic
deaths over the previous nineteen
months. The figures for nineteen
