DIE IN
AUTO WRECKS
Vacation Trips and Pleasure
Rides Take Heavy Toll
Among Bisbee and Douglas
Families

One young man and his family driv-
ing to Texas to visit his parents,
dies when car turns over crushing
him. The sad thing is that the won
derful holiday he was to have on his
reunion with his parents was turn
ed to sadness when his body reach
ed his home.
A Douglas man and his family
while vacationing in the east and
visiting relatives invited them to
ride with him in his car. Another
car crashed into him overturning his
car and killing the mother and in
juring the other occupants.
Two other recent accidents have
left little children fatherless and
placed the responsibility of shielding
and rearing the little ones on brave
but sorrowing little mothers who will
have to carry on without Daddy's
help
None of these accidents with the
possible exception of one could be
blamed on defects of the cars SO that
the auto itself cannot be blamed, In
almost every case the driver of the
cars in which the deaths occurred
we're cleared of all blame. Reckless
driving on the part of some one, else
was the direct or contributing cause
in almost every case. It does not
matter how careful you may be you
can not tell what may be the re-
suit Of another's carelessness.

money that they can afford to die.
