part of 'both drivers and rsfri

following points:
First. That the most important
causes of highway accidents
where motorists are principally at
fault are in order of their im
portance inattention, speeding;
traffic law violations an intox
ication. Of the 26,618 killed in
1927, motorists were at fault in
11,765 fatalities and all but
1,882 were attributed to the
above causes.
Second. That the most Impor
tant causes of highway accidents
where motorists are principally at
fault are: children playing In the
street or crossing In violation of
traffic law, adult jay-walking, in
attention, and confusion. Of the
11,367 deaths caused principally
by. pedestrians in 1927, all but
1,250 were attributed to these
causes.
Third. That adverse physical
conditions such as wet streets, de.

row., streets, caused bu 2.586
deaths.
Fourth. That the human factor

Falcon-Knight Performance
Subject of Boast by
Company
The outstanding, performance
record of eight Falcon-Knight test
cars that have covered a collective
total of approximately 600,000
miles in about 18 months is cited
by officials of the Falcon Motors
Corporation as evidence that these
Knight englned sixes have betn
designed and built to withstand
ten years of service.
The eight Falcon-Knight sixes
that have been driven over every
different type of highway and ter
ritory of the country and are still
in operation, each being subjected
to Inspection from time to time.
Five of these ears have trawfed
well over 75,000-miles and in no
case have they shown 'appreciable
wear In either the engine or the
chassis, according to service offi
cials at the company's factory in
Elyria, Ohio.
A careful record of each car's
performance and service is being
kept, it being the aim of the com
pany to definitely determine just
how many miles these, cars can
travel without a breakdown.
Mileage Mounts Up
Assuming that the average dri
ver plies up a total of about 10,
000 miles on bis car each year,
Falcon executives point out that
already, using the 10,000 figure
as a basis, these test cars hard
covered as many miles as the av
erage driver would pile up In sev
en or eight years.
In order to arrive at a fair con
clusion, these eight Falcon-KnlgbJ
test ears, which arejtrictly stoitk
models employing the Knijgbt
sleeve-valve engine, are being'jp-'
erated in dlffeernt sections of the
country. This has brought the
cars in contact with all kinds of
weather, smooth highways, flat
country, mountainous regions.

dlt roads. Despite this, the cars
have eac hshown the same deer6
of inbuilt stamina and a marled
ability to contlnle In operation.
without layups for repairs or bit
