twenty Every Night

+ OR every night this December, be-
tween the hours of six and eight,
twenty Edward Smiths will be killed
as they hurry home to their wives and
children.
In 600 homes in our cities death will
call at dinnertime just as it dropped
in without an invitation at the Smith
household.
For the black-and- white records,
repeated year after year. show that. of
all the twelve months, December has
the highest traffic death rate. In more
than $500 homes there will be scant
Christmas celebration. and in almost
twenty per cent of them the blow will
fall in those two brief hours from six
to eight O'Clock in the evening.
During December five out of every
seven traffic deaths occur during dusk
or darkness and fortyfour per cent of
the victims are pedestrians. The fac
tors that initiate this months death
rate far beyond June when traffic is
much heavier are:
l. The earlier hours of darkness
2. The holiday rush
Before you dash into the street with
your arms full of gift boxes, before you
pull out from the curb as you men

of her daughter and her son. And put
your mind solely on the job of getting

The doorbell rudely interrupted her

stood outside, a small paper in his
hand.

''Are you Mrs. Edward Smith," he
inquired.

She nodded.

onded the motion But Mother said
no. Daddy will be home by six-thirty
perhaps earlier, because this is his
bowling night. And you can wait
twenty minutes just as easily as can,
for I'm just as hungry as you two"
So, philosophically enough, the chill
dren waited, knowing that previous
attempts to sneak up on dinner had
availed them nothing. When six-thirty
came everything was ready; the burn
ers on the kitchen range were turned
low; Mrs. Smith leaned on the edge of
the dining-room table scanning the
headlines in the evening paper. one ear
cooked for her husbands step on the
porch.
At quarter of seven she glanced at
the clock. Perhaps he had stopped at
Colton's to get those extra lengths of
track for Eddie's Christmas railroad.
If he had, Mrs. S. hoped he'd have
sense enough to leave them in the
garage so Junior wouldn't see the
package and ask questions.

by SEVEN O'Clock she had become
partly worried, partly annoyed. The
vegetables would be soggy and the
ham dried out if he didn't come soon.

He knew, all right, but there was
plenty of time when she got there to
find out that her sole mission was to
identify the body of the late Edward
Smith, run down by an automobile as
he was hurrying from Colton's Depart
ment Store to the station.
Hungry as they had been, the kids
didn't eat much that night or for
several nights to come.
Dad had the new lengths OF track
under his arm when he was hit, but
they never got into Eddie's model
railroad. Somehow the boy couldn't
look at the thing again.
For days, weeks, months pail

went through the frozen motions of

happiness, brought them to the brink
