An expert automobile driver of my
acquaintance says Frederick Upham
Adams in American Magazine, has
coined an injunction which might well
be adopted by all drivers pending the
adoption of the reforms outlined. Most
of those who risk their lives crossing
streets between intersections do so
with their heads down, their half
closed eyes fixed on their feet. After
successfully lodging such trespassers,
or stopping in time to save them from
injury, my friend good-naturedly sings
out; Heads up, friendr
Few take offense at this cheerful
admonition, and as a rule, they lift
their heads, square their shoulders,
and briskly take an alert way across
the street and out of danger"
