TIRED DRIVERS
COURT DANGERS
Fatigue Plays Important
Part in Causing Auto
mobile Accidents.

Fatigue plays far more important
part in causing automobile accidents
than is generally recognized. A motor
truck owner was driving to distant
city at night to be there for load
early in the morning. He had been
working hard all day and was fatigued.
At grade crossing he came into col
lision with a train and was killed.
1t Is quite likely this man went to
sleep at the wheel. In any case he
was ordinarily a careful and cautious
driver. He knew the road well. He
was familiar with the crossing. There
Is every indication that the accident
was due solely to fatigue.
A party of tourists started out to
make long motor trip. In order to
make it in. the shortest possible time
they decided to keep going night and
day. One would drive while the others
slept, or at least tried to sleep. The
journey ended in a fatal accident be-
fore the goal was reached.
Needs Recharging.
The human system is good deal
like storage battery. When the cur
rent in the battery is low, it fails to
turn the starting motor. Even the
light may be dim. That battery will
not work well again until it is
charged.
The only way a fatigued man can
become alert again is to have his
vitality recharged through complete
rest. The imperfect rest he gets while
riding in car is not rest enough. He
needs good, sound sleep and plenty
Of It,
A young person can usually regain
his vitality more quickly than one
along in middle life or an old per-
son. He sleeps sounder and he re-
spends more quickly to rest.
Persons Of all ages, however, are
subject to fatigue. The only differ
ence between ages is the rate Of re-
covery.
Reactions Slower.
At the beginning of long trip any
driver is far less likely to. meet with
an accident than he is as he nears the
end of long, continuous drive. At
the start, he is alert. II there are
careless and reckless drivers on the
road he is able to avoid a collision.
After 100 or more miles Of driving
he is far less alert. His reactions are
slower. When he gets in tight place
he fails to respond and the chances
are greatly against him If an accident
is imminent.
This means that a person should
avoid driving when fatigued, when
tired out because of having driven a
great distance already or having done
work that proved firing. If he has not
had his usual amount Of sleep he is
also fatigued and should avoid driving.
The distance a person can drive
without becoming fatigued will vary
with different people. A person who
is driving every day and who is driv-
ing long distances can drive more
miles day without fatigue than a
person who drives only few days a
week and then but short distance1

very materially the damage to posies

Less Egg Breakage.

reduced his losses through egg break
age IS per cent by having his Dodge
truck equipped with stabilators. He
used to figure his loss from broken
hen fruit at about 81, 400 a year.
Now, he says, 1t is not more than 81
a day, or about $500 year."
Dogs and Fowls.
Some one asked Simon what about
dogs, poultry and the like, and he
confessed that he didn't have any &C.
tual testimony from dog owners OF
hen haulers. But he insisted he was
pretty sure the CANNES and chicken
folks were all very appreciative OF
"relaxed motoring" wherever they had
tried it, and would be glad to say so
