Just think what a headline this would make: “30,000 KILLED AND 850,000 INJURED LAST WEEK IN AUTO ACCIDENTS.” What a slaughter that would be! What a noise! ) ' Everybody in the nation would then rise up and demand that something be done to avoid a repetition of “Accident Week" next year. When a boat goes down in one of our rivers and drowns a mere 1,000 people (the General Slocum) or when a theatre bums and kills only 600 (the Iroquois), the papers are full ol immense headlines, Investigations ar» instigated, new laws are passed, and tbs evenrts remembered for 50 years. But we kill 30,000 a year and injure 850,000 with automobiles, according to statistics of The Travelers Insurance Company, and nobody seems to mind much. That's because the accidents ar* thinned out over the year and scattered in different localities. They constitute a gigantic catastrophe, but we get it on the installment plan, and anything ws get on the installment plan doesn't bother us much. So that's why I say concentrate 'em. I’ll bet if my plan of having all ous auto smashups in one week were adopted, somebody would sit up and take notice and DO SOMETHING. ly.
