RECKLESS DRIVING IN
CITY INCREASING

The many accidents and near ac-
cidents that have been occurring
here in the past month attest to the
increasing recklessness of many OF
the drivers of passenger cars and
trucks. While the speed limit has
been fixed by the council at twenty
four miles an hour, it is evident
that many drivers are either unable
to read their speedometers or do not
care to drive within the limit.
Speeding on an open road is dam
gerous at the best, but speeding IN
the city where there is such heavy
traffic, both of machines and pedes-
trians, verges on the reckless. Seem
ingly. many drivers give little
thought to the property and person
of others and even of themselves.
They drive car as though they
were in a forty acre field with no
one in it but themselves.
Last Saturday evening the writer
witnessed a piece of reckless drlN-
ing which might have resulted IN the
killing Of several people. A SECOND
street car was going down town.
when nearing Verbeke street, TWO
machines tried to pass. There were
at least a half a dozen people walt
ing to board the car at the street IN
tersection. Another street car was
following the first car, which did
not intend to stop. The first ma
chine cut in front of the street car
and got through all right, but the
second machine, in trying TO pass
had to cut so close to the trolley
car to avoid hitting the people that
it ran over the fender of the car.
Had the car been going little fas-
ter it is possible that the machine
would have been thrown into the
crowd.
Another bad street where accl-
dents are numerous is Green street.
At nearly every intersection, serious
accidents have occurred due TO the
recklessness of drivers. There are
many who use this street as speed
way, and many others cross 1t as
though there was no intersection at
all. 1t is nothing to see machlne
crossing Green street going thlrty
miles and more an hour. Thls Is
decided recklessness for it is lmpos-
sible to have a machine under con-
troll going that speed. the other
evening an accident happened at the
corner of Green and Kelker streets
in which a machine going down hel-
ker from Third hit another car go
ing down Green street with such
force that the one machine was
thrown clear over on the sidewalk
on it's side. 1t was claimed by
passenger of the car coming down
Kelker street that the car was only
moving eight miles an hour, yet 1t
skidded more than thirty feet before
hitting the other car and besioe
knocked it on to the sidewalk. Many
motorists are able to stop their car
within its own length when golns
but eight miles an hour, for that is
little more than a walk.
1t is high time that the police OF
ficials take a hand and curb TINS
growing menace. Motor cars are
becoming too thick to permit reck-
lessness of this nature, ana tne
soonar some one is shown up in the
matter the better it will be for all
concerned.

SECONDS OFF "RIM-OF-

A Peerless Eight driven by Charles

Rim of -the-wo-ld" record at ST.

where this record is competed every
year is eight miles long over a mar
row road with endless curves up the
side of the hills of the famous Wa

the distance through heavy fog in Is

is eight seconds less than the previ-
Gus record which has stood for more
than two years.
