Protect the Children.

A little girl was killed in Gulfport
by an auto truck Friday, and an
other little girl in Vicksburg was
perhaps fatally injured by motor
cycle. The duty of the motorist is
to protect the little folks cannot be
too strongly impressed. Take no
chances when you see a child in
your path. Bring your ear to full
stop if there is even a remote chance
that the little one is in danger.
Bear in mind that children are often
unconscious of peril. and when their
little minds are centered on play
they think of nothing else.-Jack-
