Vienna Protects the Deaf

Pedestrians in Vienna who are deaf will hereafter wear a yellow arm band 10 cm. wide with three large round black spots. The suggestion was made, by the police because several recent accidents were the result of subnormal hearing on the part of certain pedestrians. The "Vox" society (70,000 members--all of whom have subnormal hearing) supplied all of its members with arm bands. The society finds that 12% of the traffic accidents have been due to subnormal hearing.
