Who was she really? If she

ANY AUTOIST WHO
STRIKES CHILD ON
ROAD RESPONSIBLE

Any automobile driver who strikes
a child, six years of age or under.
on a public highway or street is i'm
mediately responsible civilly and Grim
inally for the accident, according >
a decision of the Chicago Municipal
Court which has just been confirmed.
In that decision it was held that
child six years of age or under can
not be guilty of any contributory negli-
gence, inasmuch as it is not really re
sponsible for its actions, and that the
entire onus of an accident involving
such a child rests squarely upon the
shoulders of the driver.
One of the effects Of that decision
in Chicago has been to impress upon
the motorist the increasing necessity
for absolutely safe driving and it ha,
been reflected in the Increased use OF
non-skid chains TO aid in assuring car
control on the slippery streets of tbs
wintry, Windy City.

A life of richest service to the suf-
