regard Of traffic rules and two to
collision. Only two cases were at
tributed to the, age of the person

intirm.tics. In cases where the ques-
ton Of whether or not intoxicating

Some Recommendations
The recommendations submitted to
the health department in addition to
that which prescribes the use of
common sense, constitute unique
set OF TRAFFIC rules. AS CplLOmiZcd
by Health Director A. A. WhittcmOrc
in his report. the suggestion follow:
|. Remaining sober.
=. More careful driving, Learn,
traffic rules.
3. Physical examination of auto
mobile drivers and requiring a per
NIT to be issued.
4. Stop before crossing a rail
road track.
3. Going less than 40 miles an
hour in cities.
6. DO not overload the front seat
so as to interfere with the driver.
Z. Better care Of the road.
8. Keeping a close watch on the
road. Don't let your mind wander
8. Pedestrians should never step
into the road from behind conceal
ing objects.
10. Better curtains to permit
clear vision by the driver.
One Of the most important Of
these, DR.. Whittemore said. is that

Common sense is tho best preven-

This was developed by question

partmcnt in an effort to- ascertain

Twenty-Five were rural and only nine

the last two administrations in
Washington, the farmer has been and

The remedy, Mr.. Peek said, lies in

farmer and permit him to market his
