The sest thing that can happen to you â€"and one of the rarer thingsâ€"is to be thrown out as the doors spring open, so you have only the groung to reckon with. True, you strike with as much force as if you had been thrown from the ‘"*Twentieth Century‘" at top speed. But at least you are sparsd the lethal array of gleaming metal knobs and edges and glass inside the car. Anything can happen in that split second â€" of crash, even those lucky escapes you hear about. Pzople have Last year a state trojper of my acâ€" quaintance stopped a big red Hispano far sneeding. Papa was obviously a reâ€" sponsible person, obviously set for a pleasant weekâ€"end with his fAmilyâ€"so the cfficer cut into papa‘s wellâ€"bred expost.alations: "T‘li let you off this time, but if y3u keep on this way you won‘t last long. Get going, but take it casicr.‘" Later a passing motorist haileéq the treoper and asked if the red Hisâ€" pans had got a ticket. "No," said the trocper, "I hated to spoil their party. "Too bad you didn‘t," said the motorâ€" ist, "I saw you stop themâ€"and then I passeq that car again 50 miles up th> line. It still makes me feel sick at my stecmach. The car was folded up like an accordionâ€"the color was about all there was left. They were all dead but one of the kidsâ€"and he wasn‘t going to live to the hospital." Maybse it will make you sick at your stomach, too. But unless you‘re a heavyâ€"footed incurable, a good look at the picture the artist wouldn‘t dare paint, a firstâ€"hang acquaintance with the results of mixing gasoline with specd and bad judgment, ought to be well worth ygar while. I can‘t help it if the facts are revolting. If you have the nerve toâ€"G@rive fast and take chances, you ought to have the nerve to take the appropriate cure. You can‘t ride an ambulance or watch the doctor working on the victim in the hospital. but yvou can read. The automobile is treacherous, jJust as a cat is. It is tragically difficult to reaâ€" lize that it can become the deadliest missile. As enthusiasts tell you, it makes 65 feel like nothing at ail. But 65 in hour is 100 feet a second, a speed which puts a viciously unjustified responsiâ€" bility on brakes and human reflexes, and can instantly turn this docile luxâ€" ury into a mad bull elephant. Collision, turnover or sideswipe, cath type of accident produces either a shatâ€" tering dead stop or a crashing chahge of directionâ€"and, since the occupantâ€" meaning youâ€"continues in the old diâ€" rection at the original speed, every surâ€" face and angle of the car‘s interior imâ€" mediately becomes battering, tearing projectile, aimed squarely at youâ€"inâ€" escapable. There is no bracing yourself against these impsrative laws of moâ€" mentum. chin. Minor details would include the raw énds of bones protruding through fliesh in compound fractures, oozing curfaces where cloth*s and skin were flayed off at once. Those are all standard. everyâ€"day seâ€" juels to the modern passion for going places in a hirry and takingy a chance or two by the way. If ghosts could be put t> a us*ful purpose, every bad stretch of road in the United States woulg grect the oncomiug motorist with zgroans and screams and the educationâ€" al spectacle of ten or 4 cozen corpses, all sizes, sexes and ages, lying horribly ctill on the bloody grass. THE PORCUPTINE ADVANCE, TTMMINS ONTARtO A trooper described such an acciâ€" dentâ€"five cars in one mess, seven killed on the spot, two dead on the way to the hospital, two more dead in the long run. He remembered it far more vividly than he wanted toâ€"the quick way the aoctor turned away from a dead man to check up on a woman with a broken back; the thkree bodies out of one car so soaked with oil from the crankcease that they looked like wet brown cigars and not human at all; a man, walking around and babbling to himself, oblivious of the dead and dyâ€" ing, even oblivious of the daggerâ€"like sliver of steel that stuck out of his streaming wrist; a pretty girl with her forehead laid open, trying hopelessly to crawl out of a ditch in spite of her smashed hip. A firstâ€"class massacre of that sort is only a question of scale and numbersâ€"seven corposes are no deader than one. Each shatterseq man, woman or child who went to make up the 36,000 corpses chalked up last year had to die a personal death. A car careening and rolling down a bank, battering and smashing its occuâ€" pants every inch of the way, can wrap itself so thoroughly around a tree that front ang rear bumpers interlock, reâ€" quiring an acetylene torch to cut them apart. In a recent case of that sort they found the old lady, who had been sitting in the back, lying across the lap of her daughter, who was in front, each soakeq in her own and each other‘s blood indistinguishably, each so shatâ€" tered and broken that thers was no point whatever in an autopsy to deterâ€" mine whether it was broken neck or ruptured heart that caused death. Overturning cars specialize in certain injuries. Cracked pelvis, for instance, guaranteeing agonizing months in bed, motionless, perhaps crippled for lifeâ€" broken spine resulting from sheer sideâ€" wise twistâ€"the minor details of smashâ€" ed knees and splinteredâ€"shoulder blades caused by crashing into the side of the car as she goes over with the swirl of an inszne roller coasterâ€"and the lethal consequences of broken ribs, which puncture hearts and lungs with theitr raw ends.

The modecu deathâ€"trap is likely to be a straighn! stretch with three lanes of trafficâ€"â€" like the notorious Astor Flats on the Albany Post Road were there have been as many as 27 fatalities in one summe month. This sudden vision of broad, straight road tempts many an ordinariâ€" ly sensible driver into passing the ahead. Simultaneously a driver coming the other way swings out at high speed. At the last moment each tries to ges into lin»s again, but the gaps are closed. As the cars in line are forced into the ditch to capsize or crash fences, the passers meet, almost head on, in a swirling, grirding smash that sends them caroming obliquely into the othâ€" CIs. If you customarily pass without clear vision a long way ahead, make sure that every member of the party carriss identification papersâ€"it‘s difficult to identify a body with its heag bashed in or torn off. The driver is death‘s favourite target. If the steering wheel holds together it ruptures his liver or spleen so he bleeds to death internally. Or, if the steering wheel breaks off the matter is settled instanly by the stesrâ€" ing column plunging through his abâ€" domen. dived through windshields and come out with only superficial scratches. They have run cars together head on, veducing both to twisted junk, and besn found unhurt and arguing bitterly two minutés afterwards, But death was there just the sameâ€"he was only exerâ€" cising his privilege of being erratic. This spring a wrecking crew pried the door off a car which had been overâ€" turned down an embankment and out stepped the driver with only a scratch on his cheek. But his mother was still inside, a splinter of wood from the top driven four inches into her brain as a result of son‘s taking a greasy curve a little too fast. No bloodâ€"no horribly twisteq bones â€" just a grayâ€"haired corpse still clutching her pocketbook in her lap as she had clutched it when zshe felt the car leave the road. on that same curve a month later, a light touring car crashed a tree. In the middle of the front seat they found a nineâ€"monthsâ€"old baby surrounded by broken glass and yet absolutely unhurt. A fine practical joke on deathâ€" but spoiled by the baby‘s parents, still sitâ€" ting on each side of him, instantly killed by shattering their skulls on the dashboard.

Take a look at yourself as the man in the white jacket shakes his head over you, tells the boys with the stretcher not to bother and turns away to someâ€" body else who isn‘t quite gead yet. And then take it easy. realizing that you are probably on ysur way out. You can‘t forget that, not even when they shift you from the grourd to the stretcher and your brokâ€" en ribs bite into your lungs and the sharp ends of your collarbones slide over to stab daesp into each side of your screaming throat. When you‘ve stopped screaming, it aAll comes backâ€"you‘re dying and you hate yourself for it. That isn‘t fiction either. It‘s what it actually feels like to be one of that 36,000. Missourians who know intimately the mule‘s indomitable qualities will realize the import of the situation and underâ€" stand fully what Mussolini is up against. Trying to conquer a region where a Missouri mule can‘t live is the height of butting the head against a ston: Wall. And every time you pass on a blind curve, every time you hit it up on a slippery road, every time you step on it harder than your reflexes will safely take, every time you drive with your reâ€" actions slowed down by a drink or two, every time you follow the man ahead too closely, you‘re gambling a few secâ€" onds against this kind of blood and agony and sudden death. Does the Italian censor who passed this dispatch realize its significance? A climate that takes such a death rate among these practicaMly indestructiole creatures must be a veritable Black Hole of Calcutta for Mussolini‘s human cannon fodder. Twenty per cent. Of the Italian army‘s American mules (many of them from Missouri) have given up the ghost, says the report. The survivors, it is said, have become acclimated and will "live forever." That isn‘t news; it‘s characteristic. Or, to continue with the decapitation motif, going off the road into a postâ€" andâ€"rail fence can put you beyond warâ€" rying about other injuri@s immediately when a rail comes through the winaâ€" skielq ard tears off your head with its gplintery endâ€"not as neat a job but thkhoroughly efficient. Bodies are often fcund with their shoes off and their feet all broken out of shape. The shoes are back on the floor of the car, empty and with their laces still neatly tied. That is the kind of impact produced by modern speeas. But all that is routine in every Amerâ€" ican community. To be remembered individually by doctors and policemen, you have to do something as grotesqu® as the lady who broke the windshield with her head, splashing splinters all over the other occupants of the car, and then, as the car rooled over, rolled with it down the edge of the windshield None of all that is scareâ€"fiction; it is just the Rcrrible raw material of the year‘s statistics as seen in the ordinary course of duty by policemen and docâ€" tors, picked at random. The surprisâ€" ing thing is that there is so little disâ€" similarity in the stories they tell. It‘s hard to find a surviving accident victim who can bear to talk. After you come to, the gnawing, scaring pain throughout your body is accounted for by learning that you have both collarâ€" benes smashed, both shoulder blades splintered, your right arm brok>n in three places and three ribs cracked, with every chance of bad internal rupâ€" tures.
