SAFETY GLASS
A paragraph in tho "Australasian" reads: — "Although the fitting of safety glass to motor-vehicles will be compulsory before registration can be obtained throughout Great Britain, France, and tho United States after 1934, little ennnuragement has been given to its use in Australia. It has been estimated, moreover, that more than 40 per "cent, of the victims of motor-car accidents are injured by flying glass. The disinclination fov. motor distributors and owner's to fit safety glass in the past has been explained by the high tariff on this material. Now that the Federal Government has wisely removed it, however, the fitting of safety glass should be strongly advocated, and legislation making its use compulsory, should, in the interests of -motorists and passengers, bo considered in the near future."
