Death Toll Too High.

these figures show that the death
toll from street accidents is entirely
too high. and careful investigation by
the police department has shown
they are caused largely by reckless

part by carelessness OF pedestrians on
the streets. While a great number of

accidents may be traced to the care
lessness of pedestrians, much larger
number may be traced to the fast and
reckless driving of automobiles: In
fact at times automobiles are driven
so reeklessly that each year large
number of lampposts standing at the
curb are demolished. If a lamppost
standing on the curb has so little
chance of escaping destruction by
reckless automobile driver. surely
pedestrian crossing the street has
great deal less chance for his life

Reckless driving also means careless

Under Liquor influence.

The kind of reckless driving in
which many accidents are caused is
that in which men attempt to OPP
crate car while more or less under
the influence of liquor. There are
some men who think that they can
operate q car just as well when they
are under the influence Of a little
champagne or whisky as they can
when they are absolutely sober. Tney
never admit that they are 'Tfong
in this thought until they have an
accident and injure themselves or
some one else No matter what
persons habits may be as to drink
ing he should not think of running
an automobile under the Influence
of even one drink of LIQUOR any more
than he would expect an engineer to
run a train carrying himself or family
while that engineer was under the iu-
nuence of liauor.
THE one cure for accidents is for
both drivers and pedestrians to be
cautious IL driving and careful in
walking The rerson who talks
chance is usually the person who
meets with accident
