Sam Truesdale, Jr. THE DEATH LOIIfcRY Last year, in an American city of something over 1,000,000 population, traffic deaths averaged approximately li\e per day. During the early part of January this year, deaths in the same city caused by motoring carelessness averaged seven a day. The people read of this loss of life disinterestedly, turn the page and forget it. Hut the world would stand aghast if seven similar victims wore selected each morning by lot and sacrificed at a public ceremony. (It course, that would be impossible but the idea may give you a new view of the automobile accident situation In the city merit ioued ? w hi< h is no better or worse than many ot'p>r cities and towns?the odds are about u hundred and fifty thousand to ..no against being killed on any gi\i n <iay. Those ,are long odds?but tliey are considerably shorter than the odds against a man with one ticket w inning a major prize in the Calcutta Sweepstakes which is participated in by hundreds of thousands of Americans. I'ndor the lottery system of selecting victims lor sudden death, the papers each morning could list the names of those drawn, and the unfortunates could wind up their business and go ijuietly to their doom. That opportunity isn't given to those who are run down by speeding iars. So remember that the chance of you being killed by a motor car is a daily lottery and is greater than your (banco of winning a prize in the sweepstakes in which you hopefully gamble a dollar to two now and then.
