The automobile is a useful but some
what dangerous contrivance when in
the control of a careful man who I'M
derstands all its coes and evolutions;
but a speedy automobile, guided by a
daring and reckless man, is a terror
liable at any moment to become a
dangerous nuisance. When used in
cities these machines should be so
geared as to be incapable of a dan
gerous speed. If the percentage of
deaths and manning already attained
in this country shall be maintained
as the automobile shall become of more
common use, the life insurance com.
