I'hen the totals of this year's auto-
mobile injuries and deaths are added
up next January I, don't be one of
torne 36,000 killed and a.million injured
by automobiles. "
Smart people look figures in the face
aad try to learn how to avoid becoming
one. ~
Others not so smart ignore figures
and yield to Nature's toothing illusion
that nothing can happen to THEM.
Nature kids us albwith a falsa sense of
security.- Nature. doesn't care what'
happens to us all individuals. But
WE DO.
If we read that nearly 16,000 persons
were killed or injured walking on
country roads in 1934, we can be surer
of staying out of that class by walking
on the left side when we walk on
country roads, facing trafic.
If we read that there are more i'-"
three timea as many accident! during
the evening rush hours as there are
during the morning rush hours, we can
drive more than THREE TIMES AS
CAREFULLY in the evening as we do
in the morning.
Smart people use last year's statistics
as a guide to this year's conduct. What
do you learn from the following:
Number of accidents: from exceeding
speed limit, 123,980; driving on wrong
side of road, 92,570; driving off road-
way, <30,590; rccklesa driving, 53,290;
pedestrians crossing between inter-
sections, 72,070; coming from behind
parked car, 36,060; crossing against a
aal, 32,960?

By watching statistics gathered by
such authorities as The Travelers In-,
surance Company, we can improve on
Nature and stay out of trouble spots
and avoid dangerous driving and walk*

WHAT about that mashie, that driver, that golf bag you've been thinking of buying? Do you
need a new swim suit? Beach towels? A new racquet, tennis shoes, slacks?
Just make a list of the things that would raise your scores and make your summer sports
more enjoyable. But, before you buy, let us say "fore!" Don't drive your money down the fair-
way of trade until you are sure the course is clear, until you can see the flag at the next hole.
