Show .M TOMOItll.i: TOI.h OF LIVES Fourteen hundred killed in one disaster would shock the nation, yet approximately that number, 1.3SS to be exact, met death during the first eight months of this year in New York state alone through automobile auto-mobile accidents, without exciting any particular attention. While medicine and surgery are working wonders in the saving of human hu-man life, the grim toll of the automobile auto-mobile mounts higher and higher each year. Most of this terrible sacrifice is entirely unnecessary, being caused by reckless or incompetent, drivers. T1'10 Pity of it is that so many of the victims vic-tims are merely passengers in ',ie wrecked cars, killed and lniimed through no fault of their own. If irresponsible speed maniacs destroy de-stroy only themselves, there would be less cause for grief, but unhappily they often escape, while helpless victims vic-tims pay with their lives for the folly fol-ly or those criminally careless drivers. |
