STATE TRAFFIC Pedestrian to Have His Day TOLL 224 FOR Saturday in Safety Roundup

FIRST QUARTE

Train-Auto Crashes and Pedestrian Accidents Swell Death List.

Accidents to pedestrians and automobile collisions with railroad trains were the two major factors in the toll of 224 traffic deaths in Indiana during the first quarter of this year, according to the Governor's Co-ordinating Safety Com-| mittee, | This toll is the same as for the 1938 comparable period and 24 more than that of last year's first three months. | The increase of 8'; per cent in traffic fatalities over last year was | entirely within urban areas and is exactly equal to the number of additional pedestrians killed, according to the Committee.

Statistics Compiled The Committee pointed out that the use of Indiana streets and highways, as measured by gasoline con-! sumption, increased 5 per cent dur- | ing the first quarter, reducing the rise in deaths to about 3': per cent on the basis of actual travel. Statistics compiled by the organization show: Rural deaths totaled 139 while 85 were Killed inside city limits. In| March, 83 persons met death in traffic, 42 of them in rural areas and 31 in urban areas. This was 26 more persons than were Killed in March of 1939. Collisions between two or more vehicles resulted in 72 deaths up to April 1, barely exceeding the pedestrian total of 69. Thirty-four persons died in collisions with railroad trains; 24 died in non-cbllision accidents, and 19 were killed in cars that struck fixed objects. Two were Killed on bicycles, two riding in horse-drawn vehicles and two by, colliding with electric cars.

How Milk Is Kept | Fresh 3 Months

DAVIS, Cal, May 7 (U, P).— Fresh milk as much as three months old is served on ships outbound from San Francisco and | Los Angeles, it was learned yes- | terday., President Roosevelt on a | recent voyage drank milk three | weeks old that was kept sweet and fresh by a simple process. Chemists said there was no trick to it; that campers who have been | forced to rely on condensed milk may now take along a supply from their regular dairy and keep it fresh by: Pouring warm paraffine over the bottle tops: fitting oiled silk, parchment or waxed paper over | the tops and fastening it with a rubber band; keeping it ‘“cool,” preferably in a portable refrigerator or a mountain stream and shaking the bottles once a day to prevent cream hardening at the tops.-
