Reports of automobile accidents, in the United States to
date indicate that deaths from Buch cause in 1925 will ex
ceed 20,000 which averages a death every GO minutes.
And those injured in such accidents, it is estimated by in
surance companies, will exceed 200,000,
of automobiles in use has greatly increased, carnage wrought
1'iid injuries inflicted are not to be figured as necessarily
subject to corresponding increase. The figures above cited
arc, in large part, to be listed as the toll that the nation
pays to carelessness on the part of motorists and pedes
trians. For most automobile accidents are avoidable. The
great majority of them are attributable to speeding, to
reckless driving, to joy riding, to intoxication at the steer
ing wheel, to failure to exercise proper care as to safety
'appliances, to lack of care on the part of pedestrians and

. "Cities like New Yoik," ;,aid one nl' Uiu ieakei.s, "have
.'already pa.ssnl the limits of eftieieney. They are liecomini;
.increasingly less desiiahle for industry and pnrtieulnrly 101"
Jiving, intimately the difficulties of working or even of
!?aiu and healthful existence will reach the breaking point.
Tho liig city growth will end."
; ;This viewpoint will cla..h violently with. that. American
i wlin whatever else his line or trade also deals in lioiuliasti
.superlatives. It ought also scurli those other well inten
tioned iieison.s who want their communities to grow solely,
for the Kiike of si-,-. On tho other hand it will comfort
the others who are ipiite willing to accept in exchange for
.magnitude the comfort and satisfaction that arc possible
within a smaller community.
t All this is another leniainder of the fatuity of empha
sizing mianlity at the expense of everything else. It has
hundreds of examples, many of them familiar lo every
thinking person. There is no profit in having the largest I
hennery in the district if the hens do not lay eggs. There
is no satisfaction in living in the largest city if norma
living on that account, is made impossible.
City planners appaicntly have come lo see that ther
is less advantage in great over-grown communities, ill
managed and badly laid out than in communities when
attention can be given to air, light, safety, attractiveness
comfort and other factors that make life, livable.
