10 STREET ACCIDENTS - DROPEOPER CENT b.c. Safety Week Campaign Shows Good Results, Says { % Council Chief Ham. WORK TO BE CONTINUED Appeal Made for More Funds to Carry on Educational [ Drive. Strect accidents In Washington have decreased more than 80 per cent, due to the safety campaign which opened with safety week last year. William F. Ham, president of the Washington Satety Councll, declared in his first annual report to the council yester- day. During the past week, Mr. Ham's report said, only fifteen cases were given hospital attention a day, as 2gainst thirty-five a day for-the same week of lgst year. These and other statlstics presented by Mr. Ham were obtained largely from Supt. B. B. Sandridge of Emergency Hospital, where about 70 per cent of all acci- gent cases are treated. 2 More Money Needed. “The decrease may be attributed ey to the fact that a large propor- lon of our citizens were reached dur- ing the week with a safety message and were_convinced by the result ob- teinad that accldents, . particularly flic_accidents, could be prevente “It can also be rTbutea In part to the continuous e Jort of the daily press to keep the pub- ‘med of accidents and their | es. Although the Washington Safety Council has already received approxi- mately $9,000 for the support of ac: dent prevention work, Mr. Ham de- clared that at least 36,000 more would e needed to carry out the plans pre- pared for the remainder of the year 1923. He made a plea for fidancial mssistance for the project, explaining Establsshed 1875 1T IS A WONDER Heintz Health Biscuits Carton, 40c 2 or 3 will do for an adult; 1 for a child.

Ave. and K Street there was no charitable element in any contributions, -but rather “this is a definite business proposition to reduce accldents, which will thus reduce loss of life or damage to property through- out the city.” The councll, Mn Ham's report con- tinued, in referring to proposed changes in traffc laws, appreclated the value of certain reforms and in- tended activity to support them when in {ts judgement they were necessary and could be brought into effect. “On the other hand,” he said, “our perms- nent plans contemplate the making of sufficient contacts to reach every individual of the Nation's Capital. In doing this we plan to utilize as far as possible existing organizations, en- couraging them to function with us, rather than to set up for ourselves a separate and Intricate organization.” Visualizing safety In the minds of thote using the city streets, the re- port said, was one of the council's greatest alms. The poster campalgn of an educational nature was the first to be Instituted In any city in the country. Mr. Hem was renamed president of the counci] for the ensuing year yes- terday, and other officers chosen were: John J. Boobar, first vice president; Charles A. Baker, socond vice presi- Gont: Gen.
