SEVERE PUNISHMENT
FOR DRUNKEN DRIVER
Secretary New York says Intoxicated
Motor Driver should Not Escape
/ Consequence of Offcnse.

That it is unsteadiness on the part
of motorists which makes them un
able at critical times to control their
machines as efficiently and promptly
as they should is the finding Of Fran
els NJ. Hugo, secretary OF state 81
New York. Mr.. Hugo also finds that
the greater part of unsteadiness is
due to the use OF liquor.
Mr. Hugo says that the practice of
drinking seems to cause loss of the
sense OF proportion and rights of
others which, in his sober moments
the motorist is not slow to recognize.
OF course. he says il would be almost
impossible TO enforce a law prob bit
ing motor drivers from using liquors
before or during a drive, unless their
disobedience caused serious accidents
As matter of fact most accidents
are not due to criminal intent. but
they are caused by the effects OF over
indulgence on the part of the driver
Even a moderate use of alcohol will
quicken his senses and affect. perhap s.
the coordination OF his brain and
muscles,
In the first place, maintains MIR
Hugo, such motorist takes greater
risks than he would otherwise as
muscles as promptly and accurately
as before. Consequently, large
number of accidents occur on what
are virtually 10y rides" whether they
are. recognized under that name or
not.
1t is, therefore, OF first Importance
that intoxicated motor car drivers
should be punished severely, for
everyone knows that the conditions
on the highways. especially in city
thoroughfares. are most dangerous.
! 1f
their lives to the care and skill of
drivers and IL the latter fail in their
duty. accidents will follow accidents,
and people viii be killed or injured.
