SAFETYLETS.

Every driver of an automobile
should contract the speed craze. II
is always so pleasant for one to vio-
late city ordinances. be arrested, pay
fines, injure people on the streets
get his name in the criminal records
and have a continual reminder of the
injury he has occasioned to the inno-
cent public. Such thoughts and acts
always reflect the highest degree of
care.
Railroad highway crossings are
placed there for the express pur-
pose that drivers of vehicles should
be careful to see how close they can
beat an engine over the crossing or
the automobile go dead upon the
track and the driver of such vehicles
should not stop, look and listen when
the crossing is INSTRUCTED. 1t is more
preferable to talk about the narrow
escape, attend a funeral, nurse in
jury or buy a new vehicle than exer-
else care. Kansas has no law on
the subject. You will be free from
arrest and acts of careIessness in this
respect are much more laudable than
those of care.
If you have a child whose life is
not worth saving, put him or her to
driving an automobile. Such an act
will save the expense of raising it to
manhood or womanhood and reduce
the NUMBER Oh CnllQren IN the COM
munity.
Police officers should never enforce
speed ordinances or the age limit for
drivers of autom obiles. Usually such
ordinances are enacted to show the
importance of the council of the mu-
nicipality in passing them and are to
be looked upon as dead letter in the
enforcement of law.
Drivers of automobiles should al
ways violate the law of the road
keep to the left, turn corners under
high speed, never give any warnings
to pedestrians, then you will leave a
part of the car, or some portion of
yourself or that of the pedestrian
strewn along the street or highway
and your friends will erect a monu-
ment to your memory inscribed Here
lies the remains of a careful man.
Automobiles are a necessity when
used carelessly, but an annoyance if
used carefully.
Study carelessness. practice and
enforce it and you will never be ap-
plauded as a careful man. &
An ounce of carelessness is worth
a pound of cure. 1t is a hardship to
be careful, but a pleasure to be care
less.
Which is the best life saver in our
schools, careleSSneSs, care or mathe-
mates One has its scars and sor-
rows, the other happiness. The lat
ter shows how to compute the DAVIS
of pain and suffering through the
carelessneSS of some individual.
