The number of automobiles in use is increasing: much faster than deaths resulting: from automobile accidents, is the statement made in a report issued by the Department of Commerce. The report says that from 1000 to 1014 the number of automobiles in use in this country increased more than twice as rapidly as the number of fatalities caused by them. One cause in the proportional decrease in the destructiveness of the automobile is said to be found in a reduction in average annual mileage of :i 111 ri li r- !i 11H tli/» c:irc :i lid I'OlTi' I'd for public safely praptjced by drivers. At the close of 1 909, accord ins to figures compiled, b.v tUe. Rational Automobile Chamber of Commerce of New York city, from state registration reports, due allowance being: made- for duplicate registrations. the number of automobiles in use in the Cnited States was approximately 200,000; by the close of 101-1 it had risen to 1,270.000; and a year later, at the end of 1914, it was 1,750,000. Increase in Fourteen Years. In the meantime the number of deaths due to automobile accidents and injuries increased from 032 in the death registration area in 1009. containing; 56 per cent of the population of the Cnited States, to 2.623 in the same area in 19Ui and the increase from 1913 to 1914. for the registration area as constituted in 1913. then containing 65 per cent of the population of the country. was from 2,4xs to 2.795. Thus a Ave-year increase of 775 per cent.accepting as reliable the figures compiled by the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce.in number of machines has been accompanied by an increase of 315 per cent in automobile fatalities; and a one-year increase of 3S per cent in number of machines has been accompanied by an increase of 12 per cent in f^tajitipq. Perhaps a more reliable comparison, from the statistician's point of view, can be made between ttic increase in number of automobiles in use and the increase in the rate per 100.000 population for deaths caused by them. This is because, with a given number of machines in use in a given area, the fatalities due to them will tend to be proport'onal to the population of that area. When the comparison is made on this basis, it appears that a five-year increase of 775 per cent in number of increase of 258 per cent.from 1.2 to 4.3 per 100.000 population.in the death rate resulting- from automobile fatalities. Similarly, a one-year increase of 38 per cent in number of automobiles has taken place along with an increase of only 10 per cent.from 3.9 to 4.3 per 100.000.in the death rate charged to them. Asks $25,000 for Dog Bite. George Smith, six years old. by his father, George J. Smith, filed suit today in the District Supreme Court to recover $23,000 damages from Lena Malnati and Virginia B. Malnati. It is alleged that the defendants harbored a mischievous dog which September 24 last attacked the plaintiff and bit him on his left thigh.

AUTOS INCREASE FASTERTHAN MOTOR FATALITIES:

Report on Number of Vehicles andList of Accidents Made by Departmentof Commerce.

The number of automobiles in use isincreasing: much faster than deaths resulting:from automobile accidents, isthe statement made in a report issuedby the Department of Commerce.The report says that from 1000 to

1014 the number of automobiles in usein this country increased more thantwice as rapidly as the number of fatalitiescaused by them.One cause in the proportional decreasein the destructiveness of the

automobile is said to be found in a reductionin average annual mileage of:i 111 ri li r- !i 11H tli/» c:irc :i lid I'OlTi' I'dfor public safely praptjced by drivers.At the close of 1 909, accord ins to figurescompiled, b.v tUe. Rational AutomobileChamber of Commerce of New

York city, from state registration reports,due allowance being: made- forduplicate registrations. the number ofautomobiles in use in the Cnited Stateswas approximately 200,000; by the closeof 101-1 it had risen to 1,270.000; and a

year later, at the end of 1914, it was1,750,000.

Increase in Fourteen Years.In the meantime the number of

deaths due to automobile accidents andinjuries increased from 032 in thedeath registration area in 1009. containing;56 per cent of the population ofthe Cnited States, to 2.623 in the same

area in 19Ui and the increase from 1913to 1914. for the registration area as

constituted in 1913. then containing 65per cent of the population of the country.was from 2,4xs to 2.795.Thus a Ave-year increase of 775 per

cent.accepting as reliable the figurescompiled by the National AutomobileChamber of Commerce.in number ofmachines has been accompanied by anincrease of 315 per cent in automobilefatalities; and a one-year increase of3S per cent in number of machines hasbeen accompanied by an increase of 12per cent in f^tajitipq.Perhaps a more reliable comparison,

from the statistician's point of view,can be made between ttic increase innumber of automobiles in use and theincrease in the rate per 100.000 populationfor deaths caused by them. Thisis because, with a given number of machinesin use in a given area, the fatalitiesdue to them will tend to beproport'onal to the population of thatarea. When the comparison is made onthis basis, it appears that a five-yearincrease of 775 per cent in number of

increase of 258 per cent.from 1.2 to4.3 per 100.000 population.in the deathrate resulting- from automobile fatalities.Similarly, a one-year increase of38 per cent in number of automobileshas taken place along with an increaseof only 10 per cent.from 3.9 to 4.3 per100.000.in the death rate charged tothem.

Asks $25,000 for Dog Bite.George Smith, six years old. by his

father, George J. Smith, filed suit todayin the District Supreme Court to recover$23,000 damages from Lena Malnatiand Virginia B. Malnati. It is allegedthat the defendants harbored a

mischievous dog which September 24last attacked the plaintiff and bit himon his left thigh. He declares his nervoussystem was shocked and that hesuffered great mental pain from thefear and apprehension of lockjaw andhydrophobia. Attorney Daniel \V.O'Donoghue represents the plaintiff.
