The cause of any particular acci- : dent may be attributed to a careless driver, to a pedestrian, to a defect in the highway, to a mechanical defect, to liazardous weather conditions, or to a combination of a number of these factors. Yearly statistics, as prepared by all states and Bureaus, Indicate that ( the human element is the outstand- j ing cause. The driver of the automobile is usually the cause of all the trouble. When the actions of drivers have been carefully checked according to the statistics given in recent years, it is found that two out of ! every three accidents involve mistakes by drivers. Excessive speed . caused 7,240 deaths in 1935. Driving on the wrong side of the road caus- i ed another 3,940 deaths, and so on. i We are to >b'ame — not the machine. 0 — MASONIC Master Mason’s Degree, Thurs ; day. May 6, 7:30 p. m.
