counted for three-fourths of the

"Registrations have been

than ever before."
He called on vacationing mo
torists to remember thatfour out

deaths have been taking place on
the open highways outside the
limits of any city or town. New

make any driver-error much more
likely to be fatal than the same
error at relatively slower speeds.
