However, January's
Total Dropped IS Ships
Under Month Before

WASHINGTON. Feb. s (UP).--

types. totaling approximately l.
COS, 400 lightweight tons. Is fewer
ships than were delivered TO the
Victory feet in December. 1912,

nounced today.
The slump, il was said. was due
to shortages of steel. delays in
completion of the higher type pro-
pulsion equipment. and severe
weather conditions in the North
ern States.

however, that the output in Janu-
airy represented the second success
sive month in which more than
] 100000 tons of shipping had been
added TO the Victory feet.
The West Coast yards held the
lead in production by delivering
81 vessels. The East Coast turned
out SO and the Gulf Coast 16.

TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS IN STATE

TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS in STATE
There were 999 traffic accidents
reported in the State of Maryland
during the month of July, resulting
in 32 deaths and 534 persons injur-
ed, 1920 reduction in deaths as
compared with July, 1912. Baltimore
City reported 70S accidents, with 9
killed and 1922 injured, 10% re-
duction under July of last year, while
the Counties reported 291 accidents
with 23 deaths and PIP injuries, a
$50 increase in deaths over July
of last year. The most notable in
crease being in the numbers of mo-
tor vehicles with motor vehicle and
bicycle accidents, These figures bring
the total accidents in Maryland, for
the year, up to 6,72S with 189 kill
ed and 3,420 injured.
The Maryland Traffic Safety Com
mission points out that many of
these accidents are caused by equip
ment that has not been properly
serviced. The vehicles on the roads
today are all two or more years old,
many of them are badly in need of
repairs to brakes, lights, steering,
etc. The deterioration of these parts
is normally expected with constant
use of the vehicle, and many drivers
do not feel they can spare their cars
long enough to put them in the
shop for a general check-up and ad-
justments. In an emergency the
brakes do not function properly, the
headlights are weak and do not give
the driver the proper illumination,
or the steering is loose and the driver
has difficult time keeping the car
in it's proper course. The result of
this neglect is the more rapid deter
ioration of the vehicle and the loss
of its efficiency.
1t is further pointed out that ev-
cry vehicle taken off the road perma-
nently, due to accidents or complete
collapse of the vehicle, is out of the
picture for the duration and some
time thereafter, as there are no re-
placements being made today. The
personal transportation, which the
American public has relied on for so
long, is gradually dwindling through
neglect, carelessness and reckless
ness.
1t is suggested that, in the absence
of tate inspections of vehicles this
year, every owner take it upon him.
self to have his car thoroughly in
spected and needed repairs and ad-
justments taken care of as soon as
possible. The timely inspection and
proper maintenance of all vehicles
in use today will not only be an aid
to greater safety, but will also pro-
long the life of our personal trans
portation, which is so badly needed
to augment our over taxed public
transportation systems.
