All the same the air navigators get, kills
ed too often for us to consider air tratel a
safe method of navigation with its Pres
ent style OF machines. ~
But il is an undeniable fact that auto
mobiles have shown themselves to be
both dangerous and deadly in daily use.
Doubtless many Of their fatalities have
been owing in great measure to rash han
ding of the machines The desire to go
fast is perhaps responsible for nine
tenths of these accidents. but the desire
to go fast seems to be on the increase
and unless automobiles can be improved
until they viii not turn turtle" or catch
afire Unexpectedly. we may set it down
that lots OF people may meet their fate
when they least expect to be killed.
IL is impossible to legislate on or regu-
late the time limit as to speed. The de-
sire to go fast seems to act like an intox-
icant on the average automobilist, and as
full as Atlanta is known to be with uni
formed policemen. it is a common occur
renee for one or more people to be killed
with such machines every week. The
chauffeurs go wild when they see an OPP
portunity to speed their autos When the
machines go all right there is great salts
faction afforded to passengers or owners,
and poor human nature always expects
the other fellows horse to run away, or
the other fellows house to be burned, so
the machine owners are struck with sur
prise when their own autos turn turtle
or catch afire. as
