THURSDAY, DEC. Z, 1916,

Several persons enjoying an
automobile ride in Boyle county
last week got in bad when they
topped a hill and started down
the other side. The chauffeur,
accustomed to handling a ma
chine of different make, put on
his "slow. down." but instead of
slowing the speed increased, and
the auto went over an embank-
ment pinioning the whole party
under it, all badly hurt. The
accident was caused by the driv-
er being accustomed to car
which was "fed" by a downward
push of a lever, while the one he
was running fed by reverse OPP
GRAFTON; so, when he wanted to
showdown, instead he put on
more power, and the car lunged
down the hill.
This accident is food for
thought and precaution an d
shows the necessity for a univer.
sal system of all cars for similar
operations. At best the auto
mobile is dangerous, so too much
care in handling cannot be had.
