WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1923 AUTOS LEAD IN DEATH RECORDS Violence Takes More Than Diseases Awkwardness, carelessness, unhap- piness and plain "cussedness" are the chief contributing factors in branding man as his own worst enemy. This, apparently, is the logical conclusion one is to draw from a state health department report recently compiled which shows that accidents, suicides, murders and other external causes re- sulted in 6254 deaths in Illinois last year. This figure amounts to 8 per cent of the total mortality of the state and greatly exceeds that for any in- fectious disease. It is considerably greater than the combined mortality from all the epidemic and infectious diseases (influenza, diptheria, typhoid, etc.) with the single exception of tuberculosis. Autos Rank First "Of the accidental fatalities the autombobile ranked first, accounting for 1008 deaths" said the report, "while accidental falls stood a close second with 779. Railroad accidents, accidental burns, drowning and breath- ing poisonous gas came next in order accounting for 577, 385, 354 and 260 respectively. It is worthy of notice that the mortality rate per 1,000 popu- lation from automobile mishaps has exactly doubled since 1918 while that from railroad accidents has declined just one fourth. "Suicidal injuries carried 895 per- sons beyond the realm of mortal woe, firearms being the favorite means of self inflicted demise. This type of weapon was used in connection with 276 deaths while breathing gas and hanging was the choice of 160 and 136 respectively. "Murder caused the mortal undoing of 648 persons. Here again firearms were the choice of weapons, these be- ing used in 494 of the homicidal cases. Starvation Killed Five "Excessive hot weather was report- ed as the cause of 46 deaths while ex- cessive cold weather was charged with 10. Starvation was accredited with 5 fatalities. "On the basis of last year's figures the average fellow has just about one chance in 12 of succumbing to some external, violent injury with only one chance in about 120 of surviving until he naturally fades away into eternity through old age. Only 680 of 75857 deaths in the state last year were due to senility." N. U.
