STEWART-WARNER .AUTOKIOmLSAFY COUNCIL A CARAVAN of death and suffering GGO miles long is what the annual automobile auto-mobile casualties of the United States would form If placed In one continuous line. From New York to Detroit, painful mile on painful mile, this ghastly and pathetic human chain would reach. This graphic picture, prepared by the Stewart-Warner Safety Connell for the prevention of automobile automo-bile accidents, tells Its own story. Twenty-two thousand killed annually by automobiles and 600,000 injured Is the present toll caused by thoughtless drivers and careless pedestrians.
