Who can say I havent got Japanese blood in me? Who knows what kinds of blood run in his veins?

Parking Mistakes Accident Source Parking maneuvers, rear-end collisions many of which involved cars stopped to park, and failure to yield right of way at intersec tions, were the chief factors lead' ing to traffic accidents along Wil lamette street during the first six months of this year. Police Chief Carl F. Bergman said today. An analysis of the accidents on Eugene's busiest street, made by the safety division of the secretary of state's office, showed a total of 94 traffic accidents on Willamette street between Twenty-second and First avenues during the first six months of 1944. Of the total, 28 per cent In volved cars leaving or backing Into parking positions along the curb, Chief Bergman said. Seventeen per cent involved rear-end col lisions, about a third of which oc curred when cars stopped to park and were struck by a following car. Sixteen per cent of the collisions along Willamette street involved cars whose drivers failed to yield the right of way. Thirteen per cent involved cars making left-hand turns. The analysis Indicated that the practice of making left or right turns from the wrong lane is a hazard along Willamette street, Chief Bergman said. He urged drivers to get in the right-hand lane for a right turn and the left hand lane for left turns. Forty-four per cent of the acci dents occurred during the period from 2 to 6 o'clock in the after noon. Forty-two per cent occurred on Fridays and Saturdays with Fridays seeing the greatest number of accidents, 21, while Saturdays were second with 19. "If Eugene drivers will exerlse greater care leaving and entering parking positions, giving proper signals and looking for approach ing cers, we could avoid approxi mately a fourth of the accidents in our business area," Chief Berg man said. "Observance of the right of way law at intersections and attention to the matter of making turns from propre lanes will pre vent another large share of our traffic crashes.
