The best Indication that It pays to talk *and agitate in favor of greater safety precautions on the highways. Secretary of State Enimerson declares, is the fact that the ratio of automobile fatalities to the number of cars in. use Is constantly decreasing. "The total numSer of deaths caused by automobile accidents is appalling," he said. "During 1924, according to the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters, 10,000 persons were killed, of whom 5,700 or 30 per cent were children. The number Injured Is set at 450,000. This Is a dally average of 52 killed and 1,150 Injured, a casualty total bad enough even In warfare. "But when we consider that the number of fatalities per 100.000 automobile registrations was considerably less last year than at any time since 1916, It Is easy to see that the situation fs not as bad as it might be. "In 1917 the ratio of automobile fatalities per 100,000 registrations w*as 178. Last year it was only 08. "Twenty-nine out of 68 cities of 100,000 population or over kctually reduced fatal motor vehicle accidents in 1924 as compared with the previous year. "This/eduction was made In spite of the" fact that In each of these cities there was a large Increase In the number of automobiles and the amounttof congestion on the streets. "All of which Indicates very clearly that It pays to preach safety and to urge greater precaution in driving." ACCIDENT CAUSES SHOWN IN REPORT Analysis by Massachusetts Indicates Speed and Inattention Principally to Blame. In calling attention to the necessity for greater caution in the operation of automobiles on Illinois hlghwuys, Secretary of State Louis L. Enimerson today pointed out the result of the analysis of highway accidents by the state of Massachusetts. "This analysis shows," he said, "that the greatest number Of accidents from any single cause results from too fast driving and the next greatest number from inattention on the part of the driver." Other causes In the order of their importance are: Child darting In front of a moving vehicle; pedestrian running across street; intoxicated opera tor; pedestrian stepping from behind a vehicle; driving on the wrong side of the road; confused operator; defective brakes; Inexperience; driving too close to other vehicles; obstructed view. "Other analyses show,'* Secretary Emmersoff adds, "that 49 per cent of accidents are due to the fault of the operators. 43 per cent to the fai.lt of other persons, 2 per cent to defective equipment, and 6 per cent to other causes not listed." /wxy" .f.a T^in- OTHER STATES USE ILLINOIS MARKERS Highway Marking System Used Here Is Adopted in. Several Other Places. The road marking system originated by tiie Illinois highway department is being adopted in many other states. The Illinois system shows three degrees of danger: First, the "Lo<»k" sign placed at approaches' to small road intersections and other places where some degree of caution should be exercised ; second, a "Caution"' sign placed before bad turns and ^eculiiit curves or other places of uniisuyft hazard, and third, the "Danger" and "Stop" [signs used before .railroad crossings or at side roads, before crossing a hard road and other dangerous places. -U- -VConsumei Much Food The average man consumes tjje fa tofrmfe aitioAnbfttfcf fb'o(& in hi lifetime: Twentv-yeven tons ,.f hreiic 5,193 ga '\ tons [J eggaJ *•4444441' I' *' M1 i> t ***** * *44*< »• < i f .tsBwewr w wm pfwwav'ii (Itewa fe* Mutate m .

Then the pipe handle Is inserted in the hole and the top end of it pushed toward the car, and the wheel is raised t<> height desired.-- Popular Science Monthly. > . Blow-out Patch Handy for Use in 'Emergency The importance of the emergency 'blow-out ipatch as a part of the motoring equipment Is understood by all experienced motorists. When the motorist discovers a clean-cut fabric break, stone bruise or a small cut entirely through tread and fabric, he simply applies the patch, inserts and inflates the tube and continues his trip. But it must also be understood by the tourist that this patch is for emergency, not for permanent repairs. At the end of the trip during which an accident has occurred necessitating the use of the emergency patch, the tourist should see that the patch Is taken out and the casing repaired properly at any vulcanizing shop. In this way the emergency patch will have served the purpose and tl>e mileage giving qualities of the casing are not impaired. On the other hand, as the tire causes him no further trouble, the motorist is likely to forget the patch he applied for emergency purposes. The result of this neglect would be that by the natural flexing and bending of the tire the patch is forced Into the cut or break, wedging the fabric apart until it becomes too weak to resist the inside air pressure and a blow-out occurs, ripping the fabric such an extent that It Is beyond repair With careful treatment the emergency fabric patch has saved the life of many a casing, but it has also brought more than one casing to death by thoughtless neglect. Back-Seat Driving Going Out of Fashion Rapidly "In the old days when a car was going to niuke a turn or come to a stop, it was no unusual sight to see arms extended from the car in every direction," says Charles M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor club. "Rack-seat driving has gone out of fashion to a great extent, but a reaction in the matter of signaling has set in. Today the back-seat passenger refrains from signaling, but in too many cases the .driver also neglects to signal. , "Many motorists are of the opinion that tills is merely a courtesy of the road, whereas it is a definite obligation Itnitoscd by law. The motor v^ hide act In Illinois, says: "No driver of a vehicle shall suddenly stop, slow down, or attempt to turn around without first signaling his Intention^ wltln outstretched arms or otherwise no tfiose-closely following in the reap,' "In Chicago a city ordinance requires drivers, moving out from, the to signal their intentions.
