THE DEVILS OWN PLAY
THING

Too many reckless kids are
driving automobiles in EN-
poria. Most of the near acct
dents of the downtown dis
trict each day are caused
by careless boys and girls, ,
who should be riding in
baby carriages instead of nj
loting high-powered and
dangerous automobiles. The ;
girl drivers are the worst .
offenders, because they drive ,
with one eye on the driving .
and the other walled out to ,
be sure that the boys are .
seeing them drive. Girl driv- .
ers lose their heads in the 4
pinehes sooner than boys, 1
and when the danger comes, (
are more liable to do the 4
wrong thing. Emporia had 4
one case of this kind this 4
year, and there was no ac- 4
cident only because a boy,
who was quickwitted, got his
hands on the steering wheel
an instant before the machine
would have crashed into an
other car
Youth and recklessness go
together. A careful boy or
girl is seldom found. The
few careful ones are trying
to keep out of the paths of
the careelessly driven cars. A
high powered automobile is 4
not designed as a plaything 4
for kids. 1t is a toy of the 4
devil and should be kept =
away from the children 4
