terested In this matter, for I do no
like to feel that some fool driver will
crash into mo on 4 street intersection
other auto owners and drivers whose
lives are jeopardized daily by the man
who uAes no judgment in his driving.
Very frequently cars are damaged In
collisions caused BY speeding or care

someone 10 killed. but the speeders so
merrily on.
that so-and.so has been arrested for
speeding. He is fined and warned
that ''the next time, he'll 80 to JAIL"
The next time comes, and the fine is
doubled, but the speeder goes on
speeding. A nne means nothing to
these fellows: what they need is q
stiff lesson in Jail. and. II that does
not do. their cars should be taken
from them.
But this spinelea way the police
have Of dealing with the speeder is
not going to mend matters. The ON
GERS should be no respecters Of per-
sons. and when they get q plain case
o. speeding. they should deal harshly

That is not q, police chiefs business.
