Los Angeles With announcement by the police statistical bureau of a 30 per cent increase in traffic accidents over a year aso, the need of careful driving at once become? apparent. An analysis of this data discloses that the great ajority of accidents are between pas-ng-er cars driven by owners. Taxi- bs and trucks, driven by chauffeurs, caused very few accidents.

The majority of these accidents occur on good streets, in daylight, and further prove the need of the strict obedience of all traffic laws. The average driver is not careful; he takes chances and does not obey the right of way and arm Bignal laws, yet these are his greatest protection. The state law is e5tplic.it regarding rights of way, plainly stipulating that a motorist must be jn the second line of traffic bcrore turning to the left or in the line nearest the curb before five-ton units at 62.3 cents per ton a spread of 22 cents. That weights of vehicles traveling over the highways should be those which provide the most economical transportation, and the fact that with the same weight distribution th difference between a limit and a 28, 000-pound limit is so slight that it has no appreciable effect on the highway or street, was brought out by representatives of the bureau of the curb as many accidents are caused by cars suddenly darting out into the fast-moving traffic.

The enforcement of the traffic laws in St. Louis was a farce up to the time of the stringent campaign against "fixing" court cases was initiated.

Accidents had been increasing steadily. It was found that politicians had been exerting their influence with the city attorneys, securing immunity for themselves and their friends. This unfair method was exposed by one of the St. Louis newspapers, and following the expose. Mayor Kiel called the city attorneys in question and the court judges before him and ordered that such tactics be stopped at once.

As the idea of safety takes hold of the child he is bound to talk of it with other children and those not already taking interest in It will do so, in a short time a safety "club may be formed where the boys may meet and talk over the different accidents. In this the parents should show keen interest, for nothing no encourages a youngster as to have- older people think well of their efforts. Getting the idea "put over" in the beginning is the main object, but when once fairly started it generally moves along in a satisfactory manner.

In a month or so, if the work is go time, and the-number of accidents, serious and otherwise, had been reduced more than half. The fact that St. Louis is no exception to othye-r cities in this matter is borne out by reports from all parts of the country. Strict enforcement of the law is an impossibility without the thorough co-operation of city prosecutors and courts. a a eteady growth -of interest in subjects of general- import.

To be sure, all of this will naturally be on a small scale compatible with development in general; but since it has a tendency to enlarge the scene of the child mind along predetermined lines only added benefit can come from it. In order to have a child become interested in safety work an accident rcrap book may be made to play a -most important part. It also may be made highly educational. Papers form the basis, with the scrap book, or a system in which the child is drawn toward the safety habit. It is not necessary to go to the expense of purchasing a scrap book at the beginning; but, of course, having one wtll result in much neater work and will be more convenient to handle.

The work may be preceded by a short talk with the child on accidents, tellr ing him. in an earnest manner how many are happening and that they are growing more frequent all the time, and how much sorrow they bring to homes and how worried mothers must be whenever children go upon the streets to play. This talk may cover as much or as little as the parent is able to give. If the child is able to read the papers, and this method is especially for those who can, it is advisable to have him look for these accident reports, cut Lansing, Mich.

This, however. Is optional and to be governed by circumstances; but if there is any fear of it interfering with the safety work it would better be left for some future time. In all probability, if school is in session, this work on the part of the boy or boys will eventually gain the attention of the 'teacher and may be the nucleus of regular safety work in the schools. As a matter of fact, the parents of school children should take up the question with the school authorities, for there is no doubt a short daily routine in safety work in the schools is more helpful even than similar work oone at home.

In the school the field is larger, there is a greater variety of ideas, and the competition between the pupils is keen, so that everything in connection becomes more active. This is-especially so if tho teacher puts her heart in it, as she should be required to do, for there is nothing more important to. child education than the preservation of life and limb. committees may easily obtain books, pamphlets and leaflets, on the subject and the work can go on as a part of the school work, as is done in many places with marked success in the reduction of accidents among school children.

"In the course of research and investigations to determine 'the right glove for the. right occasion the glove industry has spent considerable time studying the requirements of the motorist.
