Danger in a City
In New York City the num
bers of persons killed by vehicles
on the streets in 191a was 218,
almost double the numberkilled
in 1900. : >ese 90 were child
ren und; years of age, as
conpareaL vith 31 of like age
sacrificed to traffic in 1900.
Discussiug this The Durham
N. C.) S- '--;nks that the con
densatioc. o.)pulation and the
increasing .umbe- rif vehicles:
on the streets arv . -..ing the
thorough fare of our cities almost
as dangerous as the zone of fire
in battle..
The Sun says that: "The
figures seem to show that after
a certain point- of density of
traffic the danger of the -street
increases far out of proportion
to the increase'in population of
the city. Although the automo
bile is the chief offender, the
number- of deaths due to horse
driven vehicles has likewise
doubled. When there are ad
ded to these constant perils inci
dental calamities such as perils
of skyscraper construction, fall
ing signs and like, it will be seen
that the situation is one that
will in a few years have to be
dealt with by something other
than idle speculation. As build
ings are made higher the density
of temporary population. especi
ally in business and financial
districts, is wonderfully increas
ed. The crush has as the one
means . travel only a narrow
street which must accomodate
also the constantly augmented
streams of traffic.. Whether
the solution will be elevated
d!ftays, with road rules for
&edestrains as .well as vehicles, ~
is of course a present conjecture
but that the city of the future
must make some provision for
the safety of the people who
make great is as evident, as that,
otherwise, it must speedily
reach the limit of its develop
ment."
The matter is a serious one
and one that must be given con
sideration.
THEORY VS. PRACTICE.
A certain Dr. C- was once
reading a very strenous paper on
total abstinence before a clerical
club-so the story .goes
the entertainer wverit out to tell
his wife how many she was. to
provide for ai, supper, says
Harper's Magazine.
"What are they doing?"~ she
asked, and was told the subject
of the essay, "What shall I do?"
she cried. "Here Pfiave brand
ied peaches, and it is too late .
change."
"Miake no change." said no
ha:uand. It will be all right.P
The essayist had the post of
honor at the right of the lady cf
the house. and she presented
him with a dish of peaches.
After a while she said t1o him,
"Dr. C-, won't you allow me
to give you some more of these
peaches"
"Thank you, he replied.
They are excellent."
A little later she said: 'L-r.
C.--, may I not give you
another peach?"
"No, I thank you," he said
apologetically, "but I will take a
little more of the gravy."
