WILMETTE . LIFE · September 21, 19l8 Fatigue Is Cause of Man·y Accidents Erwin Greer Say~ Bx Et'"'lcoin Grra (President Greer College of Electrical Automotive Trades) Investigations have shown there is not yerr much difference between the reaction of a person who is thoroughly fatigued and one who has become intoxicated from imbibing alcoholic stimulants. In both cases th e vision is blurred. tlwught is confused, the senses dulled and a lack of co-ordination ·exists between the will · and the muscle . For a much longer period than in the case of traffic, accurate acCident records ha·te been kept in the industries. Not only have records been kept, but a close study of causes has also been made. Th· e se show a direct relation between the accident ratP., the se,v erity rate ,and fatigue. The greater the fatigue of the workers, the greater the accident rate and the greater the severity rate. Although the recor-ds are not so complete in regard to motor car accidents, it does not require very much investigation to indicate beyond a question of a doubt that fatigue causes the deaths of many motor\sts ~ As .a matter of fact, anyone. who ·will stop to think can recall case s where fatigue \\·as undoubtcdh· the cau c of se rious accidents. ~[an can accomplish some amazing f cats. but no man nor no woman can keep going for long without food, water and sleep. Food to him is what gas and oil are to t!' e automobile engine. It is the material from which the power and the lubrication · come. \".'ater is as necessary to man as it is to an automobile radiator. \Vithout water, he dries up, becomes overheated and dies. Sleep is the charging of the battery used to supply the sparks, without which there can be no real exertion. Let a person go without food, . let him go without water, let him go without sleep for a long enough period, let him go without any one of these things, for any great period and fatigue. result s. If he ts driving a car it is a death-dealing fatigue. , The only way to make touring or any long tri ps safe is to avoid fatigue, and it can be avoided only by eating sufficient and proper food, by drinking enough pure water and getting enough sleep that is sound and r estful. In other words the driver has to give as much attention and use as much judgment in keeping himself in good driving .condition as he does in keeping the car in go~d running condition. Failure to do this is su rely playing with death. HIGHWAY'MEN·OF WORLD. TO STUDY U. S. METHODS Coming to rhis Country in 1930 at Invitation of CongressGreat l~terest Is Shown Leading highway officials from all parts of the world are coming to the United States 1n 1930 to study American methods of road improvement and road use according to word brought back fro~ the re~ent sessions of the International Road Commission at Paris, by 'i'homas H. MacDonald, chi~f of the United States Bureau of Publtc Ro.a ds and chairman of the High'.-\·ay Education Board. Mr. MacDonald went to France as head of the official delegation re~~ r esenting. the American government at the roaa meeting. He later made an investigation into phases of highway development in many of the countries of Western ·Europe and m the British Isles. ' "Not only was ·the invitation extended by our Congress through President Coolidge accepted unanimously," says Mr. MacDonald, "but from comments of delegates from other countries, it · is evident there is a deeprooted, world-wide interest in what is · being done to improve highways here. The great distinction which exists between our program and that of other nations, is that while here the whole country has adopted motor transportation, elsewhere car use is still largely in the hands of a few. "The rapid expansion in the Cnited States faced our engineers with an urgent demand for the immediate improvement of hundreds of thousands of miles of highway. At the same time, increased valuations growing out of bettered transportation facilities and a moderate tax upon the vehicle itself made it actually cheaper for the public to have roads than to go without them, so that we were able to embark upon a construction program without parallel in the history of public works without dislocating our financial system. "ConcurrentlY. we were faced with the question of whether it was cheaper to build these roads slowlv and lahoriously by human labor as most other countries now do. or whether we should work out mass production ·methods and so · meet the national demand quickly. Experience has demonstrated that the latter plan is by far the more efficient and less costly. "Foreign highway engineers who are as well or better versed in the technique of ro;1d building as our own men, in the main are only now arriving at the stage where they must meet similar problems in their own countries, hence their interest in the sessions here in THE W .Oit'LD FINER.

Barber of Evanston, north shore dealer. Orders for additional quantities of materials have been placed so as to insure no interruption of production during the coming months. The materials are for both lines of Pierce. Arrow cars, the Series 81 and the Series 36, the large dual-valve automobile. According to a report made by the sales department indications point to the fact that Pierce-Arrow sales for Sep.tember will even eclipse the record busmess of July and August. During th~ first eleven days of September shJpments from the factory were double those for the same period last year. SUBURBAN NASH SALES Phone Winnetka 2707 547 Lincoln Avenue WINNETKA
