( tomobile accidents, he pointed out.

traffic rules Traffic laws are made
to protect u.s." he said. and If you
don't believe it. try TO run South
Bend for one day without any traf-
nc officers or any traffic laws" He
emphasized the fact that an indt-
vidual who violates traffic laws Is
a criminal just as one who violates
other laws.
Mr.. Rasmussen enumerated the
following as the most frequent
causes Of motor accidents. all OF
which are avoidable II the driver Is
alert and refuses to take chances;
Speeding

ing on or discharging passengers
where there is no safety zone.
Driving on wet street car tracks.
Following a car ahead too closely.
