 Have any of the North Canaan con- stables seen those automobiles that arc here once in a while without numbers displayed on them?
 Have you ever noticed the ex- precision on the face of the nuto driver, who bowls down Railroad street without stacking speed or sound ing the signal of his approach, as tho machine strikes that raised crosswalk? Sometimes the occupants of the machine nearly spill out, and they don't have time to swear until they have crossed the railroad This walk don't bother the fellow who runs at moderate speed.
 Suppose one of those stranger auto "fellers who comes down Railroad st. as fast as he possibly can, without talk ing the trouble to ascertain whether he is to run down someone around the cor ner or not, should smash into a team at that point. Things will be terribly mussed up, someone will be hurt, and the auto man will get very little sympathy from Canaanites Almost any day one can see women with one or two children in their wagons driving past this point and they are as liable, perhaps more so, to be the victims of ono of these collisions as the men folks who can better protect themselves. Perhaps some speed signs would do some good if erected in this vicinity and also in the vicinity of the Methodist church, where nearly as much reckless running is seen. The News dislikes to constantly pick on the reckless autoist string. but he is a menace to safety and should be sup pressed. If anyone believes we have ex- aggerated the conditions, let him take notice of the manner in which the autos arc operated at the points we mention. School Notes
