Investigators Blame Careless
ness of Autoists for (great
est Number of Accidents
Automobile accidents in the United
States in 1921 caused the death of
12,o(X) persons,—one person killed every
forty -two minutes day and night. More
than 300,000 persons were injured. The
fata.-ics on our highways last year
v e r t mort- than the American dead in
tr ■ Spanish-American W ar, while the
injured far outnumbered our 221,000
wotirdcd in the World War.
That the automobile hazard is grow
ing steadily is shown by the fact that
althcugh accidents on the railroads are
decreasing automobile crashes in 1921
increased 4 per cent over 1920.
Tor more than two years the Balti
more and Ohio railroad has placed men
at crossings where large numbers of
automobiles pass.
These observers
note the machines crossing and take
down the license numbers of those
whose drivers fail to take any precau
tion.
In 1920 these observers noted 398,000
vehicles and, according to their records,
25,000 drivers failed to take any pre
cautions at highway crossings. In one
m nth of this year 16,177 automobiles
were checked by the railroad’s observ
ers and 2,972 drivers were reported as
having failed to stop, look or listen
before crossing the tracks. During the
first four months of this year 58,806
machines were observed and the “ fail
ures” reached seventeen per cent.

Few Accidents from Skidding
The impression prevails in some quar
ters that asphalt pavements are slip
pery, especially when wet, and conse
quently are dangerous to drive over.
I f this were true, accident records
would show a large percentage of
cases where skidding was the cause of
the accident.
A three months’ investigation re
cently made in Maryland discloses the
fact that 90 per cent, of automobile
accidents are due to speeding. Of
fourteen fatal accidents, two were
caused by failure to heed the warning

three were seriously injured in this accident near Cleveland.
at railroad crossings; four by speed
ing; four by driving on the wrong
side of the road, and four by reckless
driving. None of the fatal accidents
was caused by skidding.
Statistics, from city records in San
Francisco on automobile and motor
cycle accidents, show 3,609 accidents in
1921. Of this number only 138, or
3.8 per cent were due to skidding. Of
the 109 of these occurring on asphalt
pavements, 75 per cent were the result
of carelessness. Four-fi'ths of San
Francisco’s paved street« are of the
asphaltic types. Owing to rains in
winter and fogs in summer, they are
in a wet condition most of the time,
so the slight percentage of accidents
due to skidding is at once apparent.
The tabulation of an average thou
sand reports on causes of automobile
collisions, filed with the claim depart
ment of the Inter-Insurance Exchange,
Los Angeles, shows only 6 per cent, of
the accidents were due to skidding.
Forty per cent, of these skidding acci
dents resulted from imprudent attempts
to turn too quickly; 40 per cent, from
over-speeding and only 20 per cent, or
1.2 per cent, of all accidents were due
to unavoidable skidding.
Many Collision* in Iowa
A rigid investigation by the Iowa
State Highway Commission during 1921
showed that of 4,683 accidents which
occurred in that state in which 359
persons were killed and 4,195 injured,
114 accidents or 2.4 per cent of the
total were due to skidding, and Iowa
has practically no asphalt roads. The
great percentage of accidents in Iowa
were collisions. Of these there were
1,210, with 1,010 persons killed and
injured.
Asphaltic pavements have not caused
any appreciable number of automobile
accidents. While the tractive resistance
of asphaltic concrete is relatively low,
it is not so low as to cause excessive
slipperiness. As a matter of fact,
statistics prove that asphaltic pavements
are less slippery than are the other so-
called permanent types.

Remarkable feats of quick memoris
ing by blind musicians have been
recorded by the National Institute for
the Blind.
Fred Turner, one of the most accom
plished blind musicians In Scotland,
recently memorized all of Bach’s “St.
Matthew Passion’’ and In four mouths
tidined his choir and accompanied the
entire Work on the organ, while Sin
clair Logan, the blind composer and
organist, memorized Somervell’s “The
Passion of Christ,” a fairly compli
cated cantata occupying 75 minutes In
performance—trained his choir and ac
companied a highly successful per
formance In less than two months, dur-
i ¡ng which lie was working under the
j stress of other heavy memorization
work for an im portant recital in Liver-
■ pool for the National Institute for the
I Blind, In addition to his normal pro-
i fessional duties.

32 pianoforte sonatas, as William Wol-
! stenholme does, and the entire 48 pre
ludes and fugues of Bach, as lu the
j case of H. V. Spanner—two blind uiu-
¡ sicinns resident In London, would
