Hereafter we are going to drive automobile
at clip not less than 90 miles an hour. If any po
liccman make bold to challenge shall take
from: our pocket clipping and show it to him.
He. shall read that clipping and turn pale. Per.
haps he shall take off his cap and bow to US. That
COP shall have learned lesson He'll never stop
another motorist going 80 miles hour What
shall the clipping say?
The clipping shall say that there is DIR. Eric
G.lunsr who lives at Weybridge. England (Al-
most any clear day he be on the roads
around Weybridge, easing his car along.) In re-
cent inquest DIR. Gardner vowed that As miles an
hour was the most dangerous speed at which a mo-
torist might travel. He testified that he had been
keeping tab on motor accidents for years.
And he discovered that when there is crash at
90 miles an hour the driver generally escapes with
y few bruises!
But woe unto the who drives his automo
bile into cuyert when that is crawling along
at As an hour. For then, usually the driver
is thrown in such manner that he lands on hi
head. suffering serious injuries or death.
