The accident pre- vention department of the niotor club determined in a survey of each of the 426 child traffic fatalities in Chicago dtaring the years 1931, 1932 and 1933 that the practice of running into the street is the most dangerous in wbich a child can indulge. Thbis cause was responsible for 169 out of ail deaths, or 39 per cent of the total. The next most dangerous cause as- certained b>' the club in its survey wvas hitching rides and playing in the street. Sixty-eiL-ht children were killed while s0 (bing. These comprised 16 per cent of the total. Crossing in the middle of the block was a catise of 45 deaths, or 10 per cent of the total.
