U. S. MOTORIST8 BETTER
DRIVERS; 31,950 KILLED
Chicago, Nov. 28.?The nation's motorists
have become better drivers,
the National Safety Council concluded
today.
It reported 31,950 persons loHt their
lives In motor vehicle accidents In
the first 10 months of this year, compared
with 29,560 In a corresponding
period In 1936.
But the 8 per cent Increase In fatalities
was more than offset by n 9
per cent increase In automobile travel
so that the death rate per 100,000,000
miles was 1 per cent lower than In
the pluvious year.
The council pointed to these encouraging
factors.
Whereas deaths Increased 17 per
cent In the first five months of 1937 In
comparison with a similar period of
last year, the Increase during the next
live was only 2 per cent.
Sixteen states showed fewer fatalities
than they did up to the end of
October In 1936?representing a total
of 265 lives.
These states were Maine, 16 per
cent; Nevada. 15; South Dakota, 14;
Kansas, 13; Washington. 13; Oklahoma,
10; Minnesota, 8; North Dakota,
8; Arkansas, 4; Virginia, (1; West Virginia.
3; Connecticut, 3; Tennessee,
2; New Mexico, 2; Massachusetts, 1;
Oeorgla, 1.
Milwaukee retained the distinction
of having the lowest death rate of ci(Irs
of more than 500,000 population.
The rate per 100,000 residents was only
lu 6 compared with a hig city average
of 17 4. New York was .second
in that (lass with 11.7.
The national October total was
3.890.
Shoes Last 24 Yestrs
Frank Beaman, of Murray, Ky., has
worn the same pair of shoes continuously
for 24 years.
Years ago. when he had to be on
his feet quite a bit with his milk
route, he had steel plates made to fit
the soles of his shoes. He gives the
plates credit for the shoes' longevity.
William Green, president of the A.
F. L?., suggests lower real estate taxe#
