Ngo’ s Traffic Toll to Be| | 100 Lives a Day This Year, Is Belief.

By NOBLE REED

Lives will continue to be lost at the rate of about 100 daily in traffic accidents because civilization is ‘“unwilling to pay the price of safety,” Superior Judge Clarence E., Weir said today. He based his conclusions upon evi- | dence he has heard in traffic accident damage cases tried in his court at the rate of about 1000 a year. Looking back over evidence Judge | Weir concluded that “safety to the | automobile driver would be assured | is it were certain that no vehicle | wontld move over roads of Indiana | at & speed greater than 30 miles an | hour and in cities at a rate lessened | in _broportion to congestion of | traffic.”

of the mechanism of | automobiles or the roads over w hich | they travel, he pointed out. The text of Judge Weir's state- | ment follows: “Courts are concerned only With | determining what the law is. How- | ever, in the conduct of trials and hearing of evidence, impressions as to the merits of proposed changes in | law are necessarily received. 36,000 Will Die This Year

“About 36,000 persons will meet | their death in the United States | duging the current year as a result | of tHe introduction of high-powered mechanical appliances for locomotioh. About 100 each day will be the approximate rate. In addition, about one million persons will be injured. | YAutomobile societies and other organizations are constantly mak- | ing suggestions as to remedies but | most of these relate to improvement | in the mechanism of automobiles, or | the roads over which they travel. It 3s evident that any substantial progress toward safety must be based on a conception of the problem itself and its causes. “Until a few yvears ago, locomotion, except over railroads well | regulated and operated by mechanics | equipped with highly technical knowledge, was accomplished hy animal power. For this purpose roads were constructed, over which horse-drawn vehicles traveled at a | rate not exceeding 15 miles per hour, and for the most part, much less | than that rate. “Upon highways constructed for and devoted to such use a new invention brought mechanical power into use for individual travel, and machines for that purpose were put into the posession of anyone and everyone who desired to use them. There being no other roads, use was, of course, made of the roads then existing. “Speed Laws Ignored” “At first the danger of the common use of the roads along with pedestrians and slow-moving ve-

finds Luckies easy on her precious throat—

Marjorie Lawrence says:

“You must have a big voice to sing Wagner. My favorite role of ‘Brunnehilde’ in Wagner’s ‘Gotterdammenrung’ is a very exacting one. Yet=— when I am back in my dressing room after I have finished singing, there is nothing I enjoy more than lighting up a Lucky. It is a light smoke—so gentle—so smooth—that it does not irritate my throat in the least. I agree with the others at the Metropolitan that a light smoke is a wise choice.”

BRILLIANT SOPRANO OF THE METROPOLITAN OPERA COMPANY

An independent survey was made recently among professional men and women—lawyers, doctors, lecturers, scientists, etc. Of those who said they smoke cigarettes, more than 87% stated they personally prefer a light smoke. Miss Lawrence verifies the wisdom of this preference, and so do other leading artists of the radio, stage, screen and opera. Their voices are their fortunes. That’s why so many of them smoke Luckies. You, too, can have the throat protection of Luckies—a light smoke, free of certain harsh irritants removed by the exclusive process “It’s Toasted”. Luckies are gentle on the throat.
