accidents 26Eo In five years, while public bicycle
accidents have increased in direct proportion
to the increase in wheels. Now, with the cur
tailment of motoring forecasting another up
surge in bicycle usage, it looks as if good
many of us will be candidates for dose of
this medicine
In five years there have been 5000 bicycle
accidents, resulting in $500 deaths. And the
most striking fact about this toll is that in
two out of every three cases investigated, the
cyclist was violating traffic law at the time
of the accident.
The remedy is obvious. 1t is the univer-
sal acceptance of the hard fact that the
bicycle is full-fedged vehicle, not a toy.
Its use should be subject to the same rules,
restrictions and common sense that apply
to any other vehicle. And when we put
that idea across, we Immediately cut
bicycle accidents.
Much splendid safety work has been done
in our schools where the bulk of our cyclists
are concentrated. But with more and more
adults - especially defense workers riding
bikes, we have new crop of riders who are
harder to reach
For them the main hope is the official regis
tration and inspection of bikes, and the issuance
of license tags for nominal fees. Such registra-
ton drives home to the individual the fact
that he, like the motorist, is under legal super
vision. And it provides Gn the license tag
some means of checking and reporting violators
who now 60 scot free.
In dozens of cities this practice has proved
effective. And we'd better get busy on it now,
for every accident is, directly or indirectly
a>blow at war production.
Certainly if telegraph boys can ride 10 years
per accident we who are older and wiser can
do better.

"As the new president Of Bundles

for your support in the continuance
Of our work for Great Britain.

this Is the right and just impulse
In, the hearts OF all good Ameri-

THAT the people Of Great Bri-

bleak and terrible winter, that they
are rationed on food and on fires
that they will live under a threat
Of renewed bombings and invasion
and that as long as we are able
to, we must keep up our aid to
them.
I'VE must also remember that
Great Britain Is still our first line
Of defense; that this little island
stands between us and the powerful
Axis powers. I do not ask for d.
vided allegiance, as I do not see
the matter in that light. The Uni
ted States and her Allies stand
shoulder to shoulder. II they are
