Basic statis tical reports recently Issued by gov ernmental and other authoritative agencies provide the figures for an alysis. The 1941 edition of "Accident r’acts,” Just published by the Na '¡onal Safety Council, shows that the highway fatality rate was 12.1 deaths pe’r 100.000,000 vehicle miles <n 1940. This contrasted with 19 0 tn 1925. the first year for which the statistics were compiled. The aver age* motor vehicle death rate for the prohibition years from 1925 to 1932 was 17 49 per 100,000.000 ve hicle miles, while since the end of Prohibition, the average rate has declined to 15.26, and for the last three years it has averaged 12.2 The death rate from alcoholism has been halved since 1928, wh i • he high mark of 4.0 per 100.000 population waa recoded, in 1938 and 1939. the latest years for which these Census Bureau figures are available, the rate was 2 per iOO.OOO—the lowest stnee 1921. The kdcntb rate from alcoholism for the offenses—also shows an irtitfrove- ment since Prohibition ended, in 1932. the first year for which the. Federal Bureau of Investigation published compilations of municipal crime rates, there was a combined rate of 1,645 offenses per iOO.OOO ( population. The rates are Tor nf- fenses "known to the police” in the following categories: murder, man-i slaughter, rape, robbery, aggrav ated assault, burglary, larceny and auto th eft The rate for 1940 was 1,566, a decrease of about 5 per cent since 1932. Indications are that 1941 will show a still better record, as the rate for the first six months was about 752 as against 776 for the cor responding period in 1940. The 1941 figures are from 2.034 cities with a population of 64.C95.186. The crime and accident reports above quoted leud emphasis to the recent statement of Gov. Herbert H Lehman of New York, who said: "The repeal of Prohibition greatly added to public respect for law ant' order, reduced racketeering and gangsterism, and brought substan tial economic gains to industry and labor." iA diplomat is a guy who can make his wife believe she would look fat in a fur coat.
