SAFETY FIRST RULES

The menace Of the automobile is re-
iceiving consideration from the city
now and everything is being done to
protect the rights Of pedestrians on
the street and also lessen the number
iof collisions and accidents. Traffic
Hags have been put out and stringent
traffic regulations have been made,
but of course very little Is to be ac-
,complished unless the city has the CO.
operation OF Keokuk autofsts. And
she autoists are becoming more care
full With the coming Of winter, how
ever. another menace is at hand.
As cold weather advances. the like
sihnod Of accidents increases as 'driv-
ers OF AUTOMOBILES attach curtains 10
their cars and a careful driver offers
the following list OF precautions:
Observe traffic rules in the turning
of corners In the residential section the
same as in the down town districts;
that is. turn corners sQuare1y and not
cut them.
Slow down while passing school
houses.
loot horn before passing wagons or
other automobiles, whether they be at
rest or IN motion.
slow down and do not use horn while
passing hospitals
Do not race.
The driver, who says his only inter
est In getting these precautions firmly
fixed In the minds OF automobiles is
from a humanitarian impulse, states
that he was recently angry enough to
fight a man who drove at high speed
through q street where school children
were at play. ne Just footed his horn
and ploughed through them" he says.
The children scurried out Of the way
and none was injured. II a boy or girl
had stumbled, there would have been
a tragedy, and human life might have
been snufYed out. Some people say the
children have no right in the street.
but let them consider the small play
ground space at most school buildings.
"A man OF sympathetic nature will not
drive IT high speed past . school house
and depend on his horn to clear the
way. :,
II believe all thoughtful drivers viii
diminish their speed when passing =
hospital and VIII refrain from footing
their horns. The noise OF car n
rapid motion might disturb someone
lying a. the point OF death.
IAN drivers OF automobiles surely
have noticed that good many carr
cut the corners In the residence dis.
tricts, thus imperiling the lives OF
other drivers and. OF pedestrians. The
