As evidence it is pointed out that during the period of 1911-1915 deaths from accidents were occurring at the age-adjusted rate of 81 per 100.000, whereas in 1941948 the incidence was only a little more than half as frequent 13 per 100,000. Only two major classifications of fatal accidents have shown an increase among the insuml automobile mishaps, w hich are more than S- times as frequent, and deaths in burning buildings and other fires, which have increased in frequency by 50 per cent. - Drownings have declined 57 per cent and fatal falls by GO per cent, Fatalities due to burns and scalds are only about one-fifth as frequent. The improvement in the accident fataiity record is due" in part, according to the statisticians, to the modernization of homes, the introduction of new industrial products to supplant old ones, changes in.in-duslwal methods, and shifts in means of transportation, with the over-all result that many former accident hazards have been eliminated, although some new ones have come into being. Safety engineering and safety education also are considered to have played important parts. ."The organized safety movement got its start in industry around 1911," the statisticians note. "Since then it has broadened to cover all phases of highway handsome safety.
