WE ARE having an unusual num-

dents" said patrolman A. A. Funk.
This is due TO careless motorists and
the fact that they always are IN a
hurry. Almost every day We have a
number Of collisions reported at po-
lice headquarters, and almost always
it is due simply TO carelessness. In
this way many receive minor injuries
and a few are seriously injured

that it is far better that they should
lose a little time than 70 risk their
lives with careless driving- have

Prohibition Law Not Enforced.
