the street crossings and keeping an
eye out on approaching teams to keep
from being splashed from head to foot
pedestrians are kept on the jump.

consideration for pedestrians by eth
er slowing up or stopping entirely as
they approach crossing if they see a
person on foot while others seem to
take special delight in fast driving
and bombarding pedestrians with a
shower of mud.
