True, We Have Safety Zones!
True, Too, We License the
Sale of Beer and Whisky


And, again, there is the case of Baby
Marie Patterson, 20 months old, who
was dying in Grace hospital when thi:
Vas written.
And Of her mother, Mrs. George Pat
tsrSon, who lies in the same hospital
seriously injured.
And of Miss Mary Quinn.
An three were in a safety zone, out ir
Highland Park. early Thursday morn.
Ing.
Mrs Patterson, with her husband, had
bem wheeling Baby Marie around in the
npsn, cool air, and Baby Marie was sleep
M eoundly as the Pattersons waited for
y street car.
Mss Quinn was waiting for a street
80, too.
They saw an automobile coming to-
ward them, but the Pattersons felt no
0lnrm for Baby Marie nor for them
AUGlvss. and Miss Quinn felt no alarm for
1 herssH, because it is against the law to
dxive into a safety zone and every auto
mobile driver knows it.
IL It looked to them as If the driver was
coming pretty fast and getting pretty
0oax the safety zone, but, of course, they
thought, he would turn out.
Another moment and Baby Marie,
sleeping in her buggy, was being drag
red down the avenue, the buggy having
become entangled in the wheel of the
auto.
y The buggy was dragged 1877 yards be-
fore the auto was stopped by patrol
man. who had given chase.
When he had halted the car, the Off
Ger reached into the baby cab for Marie,
whose little body lay there all but life
less, terribly torn in the flesh around
the chest and back, and bleeding.
At the hospital they said the skull APP
peared to have been fractured, too. and
that there was little chance Of saving
the baby's life.
Back on the pavement in the safety
zone, lay Marie's mother, with an ankle
broken, and painful cuts on her hands
and face.
She, too, was hurried to the hospital
with Miss Quinn, who had sustained a
scalp wound and other hurts.
The father of Baby Marie escaped
with minor injuries.
The injured placed in hospitals for
care, attention was directed TO the oc-
cupants of the auto.
They proved to be two boys who had
been driving in the country.
In the auto the officers found A
BOTTLE OF BEER AND A BOTTLE
OF WHISKY.
So it wasn't so much the fault of the
boys.
Whisky is made and sold to boys with
the consent of the people Of the state of
Michigan--older people.
What's the use of having safety
zones so long as we license the sale Of
beer and whisky?
