HOUSTON HOiE JOURNAL Price $1.50 A Year. 1? Ad vane?. Pul>li*k?d Kvury Thumlay Morning Official Organ of Houston County JOHN L. HODGES, Editor. Thubsoat, February 5. SUGGESTIONS FOR ACCIDENT PREVENTION Secretary Hoover, in an addiest before the National Conference on Street and Highway, asked (or the ?o-operation ol all inieresta in a i effort to reduoe the now rapidly Increasing number of deatha and injuries due 10 traffic accident*. He elated that there were 22,000 euch deaths and 678,000 serious injuries last year and that nearly SU percent of the highway ac cidents were due to the autorno lilt. Here is a suggestion for lessen ing acoidenta. In the old days, a toad was reunded up like a rail toad grada with deep ditches on euch uide. Probably two teams pattsed at a pace of about three 01 (par miles an hour on every five mile stretch. Today our modern highway grades are largely the name, with a strip of pavement in the crater on whieh scores of auto mobiles paws in * nine traveling al a rate of speed varying from 26 to 46 miles au hour. With good driv ing, there are no accidents. Mitf indgment one way or another, however,and so automobile crashes with another car er goes the ditch. Instead of digging ditches on each side of the road, ugo the same labor and extend the gr^de and the culvert coverings from the edge of the pavement at a gentle slope to the fence row en each tide. In other words, have the curve of the road more like a atreet- This is possible along 90 perceolof the highways at no ad ditional expense Thus is the tendency for cars to crowd in the center relieved uud consequently the danger of accidents it lessened All the rulti, regulations and flaws that oan be passed will be of little or uo avail so long as aay mau or woman can buy an automo bile one minute, step iuto the state iicensiug department and geta permit te drive the next minute, ttgardless of bis familiarity with the car, itsoporation or road rules. No other piece of machinery in the world is operated on such a hap hazard basis. The marvel is that instead of 22,000 deaths a year, there are not 200,000 deaths. Remove the causo and you will remove the accidents. Intermediary measures will be useless. Com pulsory automobile accident in surance, or worse yet monopolistic state automobile accident insur ance, a suggested remedy, will ?imply encourage recklessness for it will tend to remove restraint from an already careless person.?
