DANGEROUS AS GUN
Detroit Police Official Tells of
PeriIs of Reckless
Driver.

That a high-powered automobile
in the hands of a reckless driver is
as dangerous an instrument as an
automatic pistol in the hands Of an
insane man was the view expressed
recently in Detroit by George A
Walter, secretary of the Detroit po-
lice department.
More seriously needed than addi-
tional knowledge about the laws is
greater consideration for Others

cause death. injury and damage on
our streets comprise 5 per cent OF
the driving population. They can be
controlled only by fear Of arrest and
punishment. For them we have the
