The Police and the Parade.

The killing of a woman at a street crossing by
the automobile OF a battalion chief of the Fire De-
partment calls attention in tragic fashion to too
common abuse Of highway privileges by uniform
wearing persons in official quasoficial positions
Fire and police vehicles and hospital ambulances
doubtless have need AT times TO travel rapidly.
But even when errands Of duty they should be
lriven with some regard for public safety. When
-ss IN the present csse-they are not on duty but
are on unofficial errands they have rights above
those Of any other vehicles
People who wear uniforms sometimes imagine
that they are thus vested with superiority over
common mortals, forgetting that responsibility al
ways increases equally with authority and those
who on extreme occasions have the right OF way
are perhaps unthnkingy led into arrogating that
tight at all times. The lamentable tragedy OF
Friday should effectively correct such errors and
should bc lasting reminder that uni

Joy Riders Spilled

Thos. Tomlinson's touring car,
driven by Arthur Tomlinson. and
with three passengers, was badly
wrecked on the Clifton road, near
the Edgar farm, late last Friday
evening. The car was going at a
high rate of speed when it collided
with the end of bridge, and, swing
ing square around. crashed with
terrific force into the iron railing
support. All the occupants of the
car were thrown out excepting the
driver, and that all escaped without
serious injury is miraculous.
The body of the car was complete
-ly wrecked, one front wheel was
smashed, and both axels, the radius
rods AMI the radiator were bent and
twisted out of place. Mr.. Tomlin-
son traded the dam aged car in to-
ward a new one, which arrived at
the local Ford agency to-day. The
engine. transmission and deferential
gears were not damaged.
The young people were returning
from a dance at the Clifton hall
when the accident occurred. Rod
erick Chinook, who was in the
front seat with Tomlinson. was
hurled into a barbed wire fence. and
received several deep gashes from
the barbs. He was the only one 10
suffer injury in the accident.
The car was new one and had
only been run about three weeks.
