This in spite of Detroit's narrow treets, with their 10,000 intersec- tions offering many natural hazard neluding those of irregularly shay corners and turns. This, toe i spite of the fact that the city | yaadrupled in size since the mobile came into general use and hat every seventh person in Detroit owns and operates an automobile— one of the highest ownership porpor- tions in the country. Detroit's cure for traffic evils? Ef- icient traffic regulation, including -innovations, and effective many greatest of all, education. Traffic safety education in Detroit is decidedly intensive. Phe whole town is “sold” on the i You hear it discussed wherevir you ‘go. Traffic and police department chiefs cannot walk more than a block with- out being stopped by some citizen with an idea for reducing trafaic jams or accidents. The women’s clubs discuss traffig safety. Much lof the time of the De- troit Safety. Council is given to it. In the schools, the safety idea’ is so connected with school work that ‘there are safety games, safety drills and contests, hatween schools with. prizes for those having the lowest percentage of automobile accidents.

Recently, Bartlett began escorting speeders through the hospitals and morgue, where they could see the vietims of the careless driver. The lesson had a far-reaching effect. Incompetent drivers have been eliminated through the police con- ducting a written or oral examina- tion and a oe demonstration of driving abilty before a driver's li- conse can b® secured. “Traffic regulation and methods are 50 years behind the times and a lot of us will never catch up with them,” says Dr. J.
