There is a Federal tax on gasoline now of 12 cents per gallon, which is in addition to the amounts set opposite the various States; that is to say where the State tax is cataloged at 4 cents there is an additional Federal tax of 112 cents which makes the total in that particular jurisdiction 512 cents.

of the 1,320,000 persons injured in 1940, infants totaled 47,520; children, 183,480; youths and grown-ups, 1,025,640; old people, 63,360.

of the 36,580 auto drivers in fatal accidents, 2,710 were females; of the 1,374,400 drivers in nonfatalities, 133,320 were females.

In fatal accidents, 3 per cent of the drivers were under 18 yrs., 27 per cent were aged 18-24; 3.5 per cent were 65 or over; 8 per cent had less than 3 mos, experience; 85.8 per cent of the fatal accidents occurred in clear weather, and in 77.7 per cent of the cases the road was dry; in 91.3 per cent the car was apparently in good condition

Early morning and early evening (twilight) drivers got relatively the most victims.

Speed and its relation to cost-Speed is expensive, according to the insurance experts. "Take the average speed of 35 miles per hour," says one in the booklet Lest We Regret. "If you increase that average to 45, you will save a little over six hours in every thousand miles you drive. But it will cost you 65c for each hour you save. If you jump to 55, the difference in expense would be $1.20 an hour. About $12.45 a month for the average driver!

"It is also curious to note that these costs píle up at increased speeds somewhat after the startling fashion of Danger Units. After passing 45, for instance, you will save less and less time by increasing your speed; yet the expense soars. On a 1,000-mile journey you could save but 2.8 hours by stepping up your speed from 55 to 65, and you would pay almost $3.00 an hour for the time you saved."

Included in the above on Jan. 1. 1941, were 38 canal boats (5,961 gross tons) and 7,138 barges (2,487,121 gross tons). Motor boats, included in steam, numbered 15,586 (1,233,284 gross tons).

The figures, are no longer compiled on a fiscal year basis, but are now on a calendar year basis. Those for 1941 are as of Jan. 1.

The war has brought many changes and some confusion in classifications and ownerships, owing principally to changes in registration from one country to another.

Gross tonnage applies to vessels and not to cargoes, and is determined by dividing by 100 the contents, in cubic feet, of the vessel's closed-in space.

Net tonnage is a vessel's gross tonnage minus deductions of space occupied by the crew's quarters, machinery for navigation, the engine room, storeroom and fuel.

The number of entrances practically balances the number of clearances, so that one-half of the total figures approximates either the entrances or the clearances.
