AUTO DEATH RATE
GOES DOWN HILL
CHICAGO —(AP>— The lives
of 310,000 Americans have been
saved since the national safety
movement began in 1913, says the
National Safety Council.
A box score of accidents con
tained in the council’s yearbook
shows that the death rate has
been lower than for 1913 each
year in the 30-year period from
1914 to 1944, except for 1917 and
1936. In 1913 the rate was 85.5
per 100,000 population. Last year
it was 72.3.
During the triple decade there
were 2,808,000 accidental deaths.
If the death rate had been as
high each year as it was in 1913,
this death toll would have been
3,119,000.
