WHAT BRISBANE
 THINKS ABOUT THE
 MOTOR CAR TODAY

Man with an automobile is a bird; he has wings and can go where ne Hkas. Without an automobile ne IS tied to earth. Be bird and II you haven't got your automobile wings yet, get them ..
 You can get good wings with four wheels for any price that attracts your pocketbook.
 There is no longer "extravagance'' in an automobile. A five-thousand dollar car is not extravagant for the man who can afford it.
 When you make or borrow the money to buy a so-called "cheap car, which in these days means GOOD car, you get your money back In health, wisd om and greater efficiency
 There is NO extragance in automo- bile owning.

 when crossing streets take nc chances. Stop-Look-Lsten- Get the Safety Habit.
 Regarding the movement, Com missioner John E. Lyddy says:
 DO you know that the best safety device, is the careful person.
 "Dou you know that POP persons were killed on the highways of this State in 1916.
 esWould you like the above to hap. pen to your car Perhaps your own child is in the crowd.
 Have you taken any precautions to prevent similar accidents on wet or slippery streets:-If not why not Do you want your car to be death car?
 .eWhen approaching children go slow. They do the most unexpected things.
 "The driver Is responsible for prac- tically all preventable accidents.
 "He can control the element of dan ger. His responsibility is proportions ate to the extra hazard created by the operation of his motor. His rights are equal. but not greater than those of his fellow citizens who walks.
 ".Eighty-five per cent. of street traf- fife accidents are preventable, just the same as careful inquiry shows that S5 per cent. of fire losses in the Uni- ted States are preventable.
 When all drivers and the rest o1 the public are convinced of this fact and conduct themselves accordingly there will be s5 per cent. fewer acci- dents, and 85 per cent less damage to vehicular property"
 To Prevent Accidents
 Commissioner Richard H. Murphy says: "The Police commissioners o1 this department are determined to stop all acidents and to make the streets of this city as safe as possible We will go the limit to protect the citizens. The department will dc everything in their power to prevent men, women and children from being killed or injured. You are requested to cooperate with them and help them to do their work we'll. Report to the department. any dangerous condition or dangerous practice that you know of. The more suggestions made, the better the department vii like it, because they want to find out ds soon as possible every dangerous place and every dangerous practice In this citvs and then go to work tc eliminate them.
 Here is certainly a cause worthy or the cooperation of every person who thinks and ,cares. Do everything the safe way: Your body is the big part of your capital; Don't invest ii Tn the banak of careless habits Ii you do, you will lose"
 The whole question of Safety First has been carefullv studied out by the officials and with the assistance o1 everybody. in doing their share great results are anticipated. Great CT safety will be afforded to every hu- man being in Bridgeport if everybody does their share to help the good work along.
