Parsons, in "World's Work" naturally give an American point of view, but the facts stated are worth remembering. "In three of this nation's largest cities last year, there were 7,300 deaths from accident, most of which could have been prevented. If all of these unfortunate people had been killed at one time, the cry of indig- nation would have gone forth would have stirred the country "from ocean "to ocean. But this immense toll of lives was taken ome or two at time, day after day, throughout the whole year, and it is human nature to view lightly the little leaks, which though fearful in the aggregate seem to be trifling when viewed as a single iso- lated cases. The average person holds the idea that war is the greatest destroyer of life.. As a matter of fact, our par- ticipations in the World War resulted in snuffiing out the lives of only 50, 150 . American soldiers. During the same period of time, 126,000 men, women - and children engaged 'in normal pursuits - or attending to duties in their homes and on the streets hore in the United States, met their death from accidents, most of which could have been prevented. During this same nineteen months more than 1,000,000 persons were in- jured .Most distressing of all, nearly one fifth of these accidents happened to children of school age. A careful survey indicates that if proper precaution were taken 375,000 of these unfortunates might escape. It is an established fact that three fourths of all the deaths and serious injuries that now occur in industry might be eliminated. Every morning when the whistles blow in our American industrial plants, 3 per cen, of all employees fail to report on account of sickness or industrial accidents. Each year more than 2,250,000 work years are lost on account of sick and injured men and women. At the low average wage of $40.0 a day this entails a yearly loss of more than $2,500,000, equal thousand of population as compared with 11.6 for the preceding year. During the last seven years while the number of motor vehicles in use has increased five fold, the number of automobile fatilities has only doubled, which indicates that the motor car death rate is rising less rapidly than automobile registration. This is practically the only ray of hope in the whole situation. The foregoing totals of automobile fatalities do not include %he deaths from grade-crossing accidents. Fa l- ures of motorists to observe pre- cautions at railway crossings is now- causing a tremendous loss of life an- nually. In the last five years 9,101 persons have been killed and 24,209 injured by collisions between motor vehicles and locomotives at grade crossings. With 18,000,000 automo- biles in the United States and 250,000 grade crossings, we have here a pro- blem that must be given more serious attention. In practically all of the surveys that have been made, the facts disclosed that motorists are nearly always at fault, In one in- vestigation, observations were made of 100,000 automobiles actually cross- ing tracks. In 97 per cent: of these cases the drivers were reasonably careful. In the careless instances, the motorists attempted to beat a train in the crossing or disregarded either the signals of a watchman or automatic crossing bells, Several accidents resulted from the drivers being intoxicated. All of which indi- cates need for the slogan, "Cross Crossings carefully." The large number of children in- jured in the non-congested outlying districts shows that the paramount cause of these accidents is speed®-~ An automobile travelling at the rate of twenty miles an hour goes 29.3 feet in a second, while the average pedestrain moves only 4.4 feet in a second.
