AUTO DEATHS
FEW IN STATE
Montana Is Alone In Showing
Decrease In
Fatalities
Montana is the only state of the 38
in the automobile fatality registra -1
tion area to show a decline in the per i
centage of fatal automobile accident«* j
since data started to be recorded in i
1918, figures issued by the depart- j

dicate.
Starting with 12.3 deaths per 1,000
of population in 1918, the figure has
decreased to eight deaths for each
1,000 residents in Montana last year.
I
In the intervening years the total
has showed a drop each year, but for
each of the other 37 states where sta- !
tistics were compiled these violent j
deaths were more last year than ever
before and in all of these cases the
1918 figure was the lowest.

Besides being the only state show- ;
ing a decrease there are only fou. j
states whose percentage of motor fa
talities is lower than Montana. Mis
sissippi with 4.4 deaths per 1,000 pop
ulation is lowest* while California,
(where 32.6 persons out of each 1,000
residents died last year in motor mis-j
haps, stands far in the lead of any
other state. Delaw are runs second
with a figure of 23.0.
In Montana during 1918 a total of |
64 were killed in this manner and
tration area, while in 1923 only 49 j
persons were killed in this state and'
at the same time the total for all
states had nearly doubled, having
i reached the figure of 14,412.
| While most of the states show a
j steady increase in the number killed
through motor mania California
shows phenomenal changes. Just 545
met death in these accidents there in
1918 but in 1923 the total was 1,289,
