wo men and children hurt In traffic mishaps last year there have been 4107 so far this year with the casualties of the balance of the month to be added Convictions under the drunk motor law up to December 1 numbered 782 the number of conviction over the same period for leaving the scene of accidents 97 and the con victions for automobile speeding Comparative figures of 1922 were not available Tuesday so there Is no authority for saying that these records are either better or worse than those of last year although the diminution of softness In judi cial handling of cases of this char acter Is fair ground for the assump tion that convictions this year for traffic offenses will far exceed those of 1922 emdaje Man Victim of AutoNear His Home Others Badly Injured in Mishaps Crushed under a
