NO REASON TO HURRY.

Aftes all, we have to admit that most
of the dangerously fast driving is done
because the cars are built for high speed
because there's a thrill for a good many
drivers in making her go" and because
there an impulse to get ahead" RAJ
Their than because of any real necessity
for speed.
A motorist, after taking all kinds of
chances in speeding through traffic, en-.
dargerinq his own life and the lives of
others, turned to his companion on their
arrival at the destination point and tri-
%umphantly announced, We'll, we've
saved five minutes!'
That so, answered. the rather dis
turbed passenger, now what are we
going to do with it?"
A study of accident reports indicates
that many disasters brought about by ex-
ceeding safe speed involve drivers who
had no valid reason for haste. -Milwau-
