MEET AUSTIN (Sp) A herd of wil horses was responsible for approx imately one thousand deaths in Texas last year, according to Dr John W. Brown. State Health Of-'i cer Under the hood of the auto mobile are from 40 to 100 horses Whether these are tame ot wil and dangerous to human life 'de pends to a large extent upon the drivers.

Pedestrians, also, must be "safety minded," If the number of lives lost in fatal automobile aeci dents is reduced. In cities, hundreds of thousands of people in the aggregate delibe lately and habituallty throw cau tion to the winds by jay walking by crossing streets at all Points but at intersections, by dodging a- lound street cars and by de hberately disregarding traffic signals And highway also aie more likely to move with, rather than against traffic, which oE couise results in greater risk, as- pccially at night. The automobile driver himself, intoxicated by joy of effortless stepping up his machine to an excessive speed, and in hundreds of other ways violating the rules and the ethics of the road, makes of this magnificant invention the Frankenstein it has so sadly turned out to DC. It needs to be more emphasized upon the average brain than it is today, that all the healthful living the world is of no avail when one either as a driver or as a pe- destram takes chances with tht automobile and loses. Moreover, prop water and milk control, as well as the many other safeguards to health and life, mean absolutely nothing to a dead man killed by nls or another's automobile.
