Safety For Both Sides.

Along with efforts to compel
safe driving by motorists there
should be correlated effort to- in
duce safety precautions by pedes-
TRANS. Not all the accidents that
occur are due to carelessness on
the part of drivers, for frequently
the pedestrians that figure in hap
penings Of this kind themselves
are to blame to more or less de
gree, sometimes entirely so. Yet
public attention usually is focused
on the responsibility Of drivers,
and the responsibility of pedes-
TRANS is overlooked.
Persons walking along the pub
lie highways, or crossing streets
and highways, should be just as
careful to observe safety rules as
is expected of drivers in the oper-
alton of motor cars. The import
ance of this rule, moreover, needs
constantly to be impressed on the
mind of the general public, and
the more so because of the fact
that the danger from motor cars
constantly is increasing with the
increased use of such vehicles.
One very common cause of acct
dents, especially in the cities, is
the tendency of children to play
in the streets, and to dash across
streets without first taking the
precaution to look for approach
ing autos. This factor of danger
is appreciated by all motor drivers,
and Is a source of constant worry
to many. There is need of enlist
ing the services of teachers and
parents in efforts to reduce this
danger, and ootn at school and at
home the children should be ad-
monished to be ever vigilant and
careful in crossing streets, and
warned of the hazard Of playing
on thoroughfares commonly used
by autoists. United and persistent
effort along this line unquestion-
ably will help to reduce the num-
Der of auto accidents and every
community should give serious at
tentlon to matter so important.
