SPRING THAWS
State Department of Highways
Keep Close Tab on States
Roads During Breakup.

Although the frost is only beginning
to leave the ground in a few localities,
the Minnesota department Of highways
is already making special preparation
for the annually recurrent spring break
up, and this week urged shippers and
heavy haulers to get in readiness for
the road restrictions which this break
up makes necessary for protection and
preservation Of the highways.
Truckers, shippers, bus lines, and
those firms which anticipate the neces-
sity of moving exceptionally heavy
loals, buildings, or machinery were
urged to get them moved before spring
thaws have affected highway surfaces
or softened grades
The departments experience over
many years has indicated that general
thaws may be expected at any time.

better fishing than last year IN Mime

joyable summer vacation

Death takes
SUICIDE SQUAD
As Jaywalkers, 81 Drinking
Pedestrians Killed by Cars
Last Year.

When a pedestrian becomes involved
in traffic mishap he can usually
blame himself for having literally
walked into trouble Such is the in
escapable conclusion of experts of the
State Highway department, based on
figures compiled by the departments
accident reporting and analysis bureau.
Last year 1913 pedestrians were in
volved in 1920 traffic accidents which
resulted in 172 pedestrians being killed
aand 1,441 injured. Large as was this
toll it still is decrease from the 1898
totals of 181 pedestrian accident deaths
and ISIS personal injuries.
"Jaywalking and other forms of traffic
law violation by pedestrians" said W.
F. Rosenwald, traffic engineer, "ac-
counted for SO deaths and 305 cases of
injury. Jaywalkers alone were involved
in SGT accidents, with death resulting
in As instances. Walking on the wrong
side Of the road with traffic, instead
Of against it) accounted for IS acct
dents, two Of them fatal"
Holding true in pedestrian accidents
as well as in other types Of traffic
mishaps is one understanding fact
the law breaker is the one most fire.
Quently involved and most often the
victim. In the case of pedestrians,
Of the 1,520 reported accidents, law
violations were indicated 1893 in
stances, Of 71E, accounting for lis
deaths. Accidents in which there was
no violation shown on the part of the
pedestrian resulted in only 48 deaths.
While drinking drivers are killing
drivers" said Mr.. Rosenwald, drink
ing pedestrians are in the front ranks
Of the suicide squad. Pedestrians who
were obviously drunk were victims in
l52 mishaps, 81 dying from injuries
sustained. Others, who had had
drink" figured in So accidents, with
death resulting in Is instances. Liquor
was a factor in 1887 OF all pedestrian
accidents and 26.7To of all fatal ped
estrian accidents occurred when the vic
tim had been drinking. This 2 to /
ratio, it is interesting to note, is prac-
tically identical with that of drinking
drivers, who also have to killing
ratio over the non-drinking drivers in
volved in motor vehicle accidents This,
Mr.. Rosenwald commented, suggested
the extension Of the slogan IF you
drink, don't drive to IF you drink,
don't drive or walk"
