not much travel and q few curves It
would be going to the top notch of
risks. but on the highways such as the
Baltimore road from Washington to
Baltimore, crowded as it Is at all times
with autos dashing along like mad, 1t
appears almost criminal to allow by law
speed of 40 miles per hour. The al
lowing of speed of 40 miles per hour
means that rs per cent of the young
motorists will drive at a 45-mile pace
With the roads becoming more
crowded each month, surely something
must be done to reduce this speed limit
It Is certain fact that in a very short
time you will be compelled to reduce
the speed to 80, or not over IS, miles
per hour.
On Defense Highway.
"A speed of 40 miles per hour on the
Defense highway from Bladensburg to
Annapolis Is one Of the greatest mis-
takes your commission ever made. This
road is far too narrow for fast driving
in fact, it was great mistake to put
down a road of this width. A number
of lives have been sacrificed already on
this road. due to two things-the speed
Of 40 miles per hour and the narrow
road. While this road is in its present
condition as to width, why not at once
reduce the legal speed to 80 miles per
hour. It will no doubt save lives to dc
so and there will be some pleasure in
driving. And this applies to all other
roads, especially of this width.
1.-The speed Of buses over the Balti-
more road should not exceed 80 miles
per hour. Such speed-a mile every
two minuteS-iS fast enough for anY
purpose"

LIGHTNING KILLS HORSES
Farmer for Third Summer Loses
Animals by Bolts.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CULPEPER, Va, August 29.-The
rain and electrical storm which swept
over this county last night, bringing
the first relief from six-weeK
drought, was disastrous in its conse-
quences to Hunter Clatterbuck. a
farmer living about 5 miles south of
Culpeper, whose three fine horses were
struck by lightning as they sought
shelter under a tree.
Strangely enough, on last Summer
and the Summer before that Mr.. Clat
terbuck also lost several horses anc
some other farm animals, killed by
lightning. and it is thought that a
rocky deposit running through his lane
has something to do with the frequent
electrical fatalities.
