Traffic and Children
Providence Journal: The American

that in the past five years thirty thou-

on the highways of. the United States.
The highway hazard for chil-

unpredictable reform in the regula-

cured. The shocking fact at present
is that despite the far greater street
vigilance of the rising generation as
la result of its early awareness of the
peril, the killing is going on at the
nate of six thousand children a year.
