AUTO Manufacturers APPROVE
THE SAFETY FIRST" MOVEMENT
J. Walter Drake Asserts That Factories Are Doing All
Possible for Safety Of Motorists and Pedestrians
and That They Fully Endorse the
Safety First Religion

emily The manufacturer is placed as
a sponsor and il seems to be around
this that the question Of safety first
somewhat revolves-
1t is true that the advent Of the
car into modern conditions and life
has proba bly, FASTENED the time Of this
tremendous movement for safety first,
but I do not believe il is responsible
for II entirely. any more than to have
perhaps brought il on little sooner.
American People in Hurry.
The whole American people are IN a
hurry and they have been in a hurry
for a great number of years. so much
that they did not even have time to
see what to do with the traffic when
the electric street cars were first put
on, or when they found the congested
streets filled up with children, 10 see
that the ice wagons. express wagons
and the police patrols and other We
hicles that run through the streets did
not run over the children They did
not even devise means Of protection
until il became acute. I regret to say
that in this city they did not even pro-
vide enough schools. so that some OF
the children were in the streets
Now the automobile is not here be
cause we are in a hurry. it is here be
cause it is the greatest development
and has caused the biggest revolu-
tion in modern social existence OF any
thing that has ever been produced or
probably ever Will be produced don
think the automobile exists because OF
the disease Of the American people.

Attitude Of Manufacturers.
Here is the attitude OF the manu-
facturer-that the automobile is not

the rate Of so or 40 miles an hour il
they are not caught at H., but its here
as great vehicle in the modern social
scheme and the manufacturer is for
anything to protect human life and
property within reason.
The manufacturers will put on any
sort of an attachment. They won't put
a $500 fender on $500 car. That
wouldn't be reasonable They viii do
anything within reason-not because
they are forced TO do it-but because
they are ordinary human beings.
LAS a unit the automobile manufac-
turers are against the unlawful use Of
the streets They are against cut-outs
and all that sort Of thing. This safety
first movement is very young. so let
US go back into the automobile history
and we will find why there is a notion
on the part Of some people today that
the manufacturer is for speed
Some of the first men who sold cars
were eN-race drivers. some liverymen,
some hackmen. they were not expe-

great volume OF business that is shown,
all OF these things have tended TO put

the limelight and keep il there
Regulation Of Traffic.
But We are for the regulation OF
traffic: we are for safety first. last
and all the time. All We ask Of you is
that we be allowed to cooperate with

not legislation. IL calls for cooperation
and not coersion- I agree with those
who say that We ought TO have law
under which every man who drives a
car ought to be examined The auto
mobile is a dangerous thing in the
hands OF a man who does not know
how to use it. II you want such a
law. we are with you. All we want
YOU to do is to sit down with US and go

Blooded Hefers Electrocuted
Strange Manner

Electrocuted by bolt of lightning
through a barbed-wire fence, three
COWS owned by Antoine S. Vigeant of
Adams were found by him yesterday
morning on his farm on Orchard
street lying dead with their noses
inst touching the wire. There was a
heavy thunderstorm Monday night
and if was evident that the electricity
had charged the fence and killed the
cattle as they lay in clump OF trees
through which the fence ran. The
cattle had not returned to the barn
yard all day Tuesday and this led to
the search for the them. The amin
ais were heifers, blooded stock, two
of them being two-yearolds and the
other yearling. 1t was on this same
farm that a heavy wind few weeks
ago blew down giant elm that was
over 200 years old.
