About 6" percent ot *ll traffic fatalities occur after | dark though only one of every four care is on the road at this time More than 300.000 persons a year are killed or disabled in yight car accidents.

A number of tests have been suggested to determine whether or not the operation will give beneficial results. These consist of giving the patient one of various prepara tlons which put him to sleep, and determining the blood preaaure both before and after the preparation Is given. |f a drop in the blood pressure occurs while the patient is asleep, it Is felt that the operaI uon will be beneficial.
