The annrber of eerious motor
vehiele-'accidents "begins to climb
during early summer, and con
tinues to rise almost without a
break throughout the warm
months. Bureau experts point out
on the basis of three-year aver
ages. Younger people suffer most
from traffic mishaps daring this
period. According to the latest
complete figures, children under
five have the bigheat proportion
of traffic deaths In July and Au
gust. Augnst also is the high
month In the 6 to 14 year group,
while September Is the peak for
persons 15-24 years of age.
Pedestrian deaths from motor
vehicle accidents, the Bureau
points out, start climbing rapidly
in July and continue upward eve
ry month until the end of the
year. Summer months, incident
ally, are among the highest not
only for motor vehicle fatalities
hut foi all types of accidental
deaths.
How To Live Longer
To motorists who would avoid
trouble on the road this summer
the National Conservation Bu
reau offers the following hints:
1. If you are a family man
planning an automobile vacation ■
on a fairly close budget, keep In
mind that every ten miles added
to the speed rate adds dollars in
gasoline and oil costs and In tire
and engine wear. The added
