SPEED AND ACCIDENTS.
DFFINITE E KE AT l O N'SHTP.
“To preach safety,” says an American, “is to invite empty pews. As a conversational topic, no less than in practice, speed offers considerably greater exhilaration. Yet safety and speed bear a close relation, so close,, indeed, that, like the scales of a balance, the first goes ([own as the second goes up.”
The remarks follow a report by Professor Kirk of Yale, covering a study, the eighth of an annual series, of accidents in Connecticut. Almost 25 per cent, he says, were largely the result of high speed driving, and it seemed probable that if all the facts could be learned, this percentage would be materially increased.
