 The highways and byways of Fair deld are favorite spots for automo-
  their motors, but the practice must stop if the combined efforts of every citizen of Fairfield can bring it about.

According to witnesses two motorcycles speeding at an excessive rate tore by the car. The man was knocked down, disloca ting his hip. The child was flung from his grasp, but fortunately only sustained superficial injuries, its arm being slightly bruised. The motorcyclist was thrown from his mount, but got himself together in a hurry and hustled away.
