164 Killed,

noted in the April report of automo-
bile accidents, Benjamin G. Eynon, Re-
gistrar of Motor Vehicles, Pennsylvania
Department of Highways, announced
yesterday. The increase in fatal ac-
cidents and persons injured is attribu-
ted to increased traffic, largely due
to the advent of the touring season,
Eynon believes.
The total number of accidents in
April was 2996, exceeding those of
March by 412. Deaths in April totaled
164, greater by thirty-three than the
March figure, with an increase in in-
juries of 435, a total of 2329.
Children killed in April totaled thirty
seven, or sixteen more than in March.
Seventy-seven persons between the age
of 15 and 54 were killed, while forty-
one persons over 55 years met death.
The twenty grade crossing accidents
reported were fewer by five than in
March.
