But what was he to do? There was nothing in their stricken faces, nothing in their silence, to sug- gest a way out for him. He liad met her; he had given her an op-

"This is an increase of 2,890 or 8 per cent.

‘The October traffic death toll was 3390-6 per cent over Sep- tember and l per cent over Octo- ber it year ago."

Among several encouraging phases of the traffic situation the Council reports the following:

“The B per cent increase in traffic deaths is less than the 9 per cent rise in motor vehicle
