Curves didn’t make so much difference when speeds were slower. MThen we began to build motor roads most states and counties fol lowed the old highways, with all their twists and curves. It is only within the past ten years that the systematic elimination of highway curves has begun. Not until they are all straightened out will traffic in modem hi|^-speed care begin to be safe. Speeding around curves causes more deaths than any other traffic hazard. The same is true of railroads. The only great railroad accidenMn mofe than a year occurred oecause an en gineer look a curve at too high speed. The late E. H. Harriman once told me that if he could .spend eight billion dollars he could make all railroads safe and double their ca pacity. We are spending fifteen bil lions in war preparations. That sum would make every motor road safe. W. J.
