Home TOWNLETS,
THE OLD STORY.

If the editorial column of the
Herald contained nothing but
words of caution to motorists in
each issue a service worth while
would be rendered 70 our readers.
1t used to be the motoring pub
lie" that came in for a scoring
after some of them known as
auto drivers had been "scorch-
ing" which was the old word for
speeding. But now motoring
public means practically every
body. The world is on wheels
nowadays. But if everybody isn't
riding or driving in a motor car,
there are enough of the same
mes going at all hours of the day
and night to more than make the
total.
Listen to this! The depart
ment of Commerce at Washing
ton reports that during the four
weeks ending May Fl, 1927,
automobiles killed SEQ people
in II large cities of the United
States, the land of the free
and easy! They don't begin to
count the motor fatalities in the
small towns and rural districts.
Reports are not so easily to be
had. Or, possibly they wouldn't
dare give the figures: the shock
would be too great.
Naturally, like everyone else,
we are wondering whether there
will be some great, revolutionary
change come about to control
traffic and prevent automobile ac-
cidents. And if so, what will it
be? Will it come about by greater
mechanical perfection or by more
intensive human thoughtfulness?
The airplane will never quite re-
place the gas wagon that rolls on
the ground. One-way roads and
streets will help, but there will
be speed maniacs who will try to
pass other cars even if they have
to go around through the orchard
or field of grain. Elimination of
grade-crossings will come, but
not until the expenditure Of
enough money to finance a first
class war. Four-wheel brakes
have helped. A speed-controlled
car will not work, for there are
times when a darling speed out
of a jam or off of a track is the
safer way, and besides, people
won't have them.
One may continue to speculate
on all Of the theories of safety
and the whole subject goes back
to the human element which
must always be reconed with be-
fore statistics.cease to shock ones
sense of safety on the highways.
Brains may make safe autom' :
biles, but the great heart of man
kind combined with common
sense must complete the cycle of
safety at the steering wheel.
