With the number of automobiles in
creasing it is almost absolutely nee
essary that we have some sort of traf
fc regulations which will be observ-
ed and enforced. If no. we may eX-
pecct to have some casualties and
possibly the loss of some life. But
no use TO make regulations unless
they are going to be observed, and if
the drivers of cars will not observe
them then the law must be enforced.
The wonder is there have not already
been some very serious accidents.
Any one who stands on any of the
street corners may see reckless driv-
lag at almost any time. Of course,
We understand that every driver Of a
car feels that he is careful 1t is al
Ways the o,her fellow who is reck-
less. Therefore, these remarks are
not personal but general And for
tie general welfare. We came very
near being run over the other day in
crossing one Of our very narrow
streets by very expert driver. Of
course, it was entirely our fault, be-
cause We could not. look botn ways

For centuries this section has SUI

activity OF Mount Aetaa. Yet it is
thickly populated, as he land is fer

Most of the people escaped because
the shock occurred When the men and
some of the women were working in
the fields. From the vineyard they
saw heir houses falling, at their
homes they found only wreckage, with
scme of their people buried beneath
it. This accounts for The fact that
most of he victims at Linera were
women and children.
