Medical directors of three great life insurance companies say that alcohol is directly or indirectly responsible for 7 per cent, of railway accidents, 8 per cent, of street car accidents, 10 per cent, of motor car accidents, 43 of heat prostration cases and sunstrokes, 8 per cent, of all accidents in mines and quarries, 13 per cent, of drowning cases, and 10 per cent, of gunshot cases. A conservative estimate is that alcohol causes a loss of 21 per cent in the national industrial efficiency.
