Death at the Wheel Traffic, of course, has become our principal national accident problem. Last year, 39,500 lives were lost in traffic, and an estimated 1,400,000 other citizens of the United States were injured. Council statisticians have estimated that motor vehicle accidents cost us $1,700,000,000 year. last These are the highest figures ever reached. The death toll is as great as American losses in the World war. It is equivalent to the destruction of a city like Waltham, Mass., or Santa Monica, Calif. The money wasted in 1937 traffic accidents would have built 35 Empire State buildings, or 250 ocean liners like the Normandie. More and more cities and states, however, are keeping good accident records and thus learning more about how and why accidents occur. But the traffic problem still is a challenge. The council has proved that accidents can be reduced wherever a state or community is willing to apply a scientific program. And for the first eight and months of 1938 the nation as a whole has experienced a 20 per cent reduction in traffic deaths below the same months for the preceding year, without any decrease in travel as measured by gasoline consumption. That this reduction is but a small part of what might have been achieved had we been able to apply what we have even thus far learned about traffic accidents, is shown by the experience of cities and states which have, through the application of balanced programs, effected savings of upwards of 50 per cent in their traffic fatalities within the short space of a year. Thus the lag between what we know about accidents and what we are doing about them is costing us something like 13,000 lives this year. Therefore, one of the principal problems facing the delegates as they look into the future will be getting across to the public information already developed about traffic accidents, and enlisting the public, more than ever before in the war against accidents. But research statistical, engineering and psychological into the cause and cure of accidents must go forward. New developments, like the chemical tests to show when drivers have been drinking, better cars and safer highways, scientific methods of eliminating night hazards, will be one phase of the attack. Another will be a continuation of the campaign for uniform traffic laws, including standard drivers' license laws, accident reporting, road rules, signs and signals; for regular inspection of all motor vehicles; and for more safety training in schools, with driving instructions for every high school student. In home accidents, safety workers face a problem similar to that involved in agriculture. The fact that most home accidents do not come to official notice unless hospitalized makes it difficult to collect accurate data. And like the farmer, the housewife is isolated in her household and cannot easily be reached by broadcast methods of safety education. But in recent years, through women's clubs, through home magazines, women's paees in nnitcn,. pers and housekeeping broadcasts, an increasing attempt has been made to familiarize housewives with the principal hazards of their own homes. Looking into the future, the delegates must plan how to intensify this campaign, and how to carry the safety idea to contractors and architects so that homes of the future will be built with safety in mind. Does it sound like a Herculean task? Perhaps it is, but to men and women who have been responsible for an almost continuous drop in accidents in the face of America's tremendous growth during the past quarter century, the ments of the past stand accomplishas a challenge for the future. four-fift- Practical and Pretty At-Ho- Wearables me be indoors more fr. yOU'LL now on at busy your own fir side.
