slaughter. 1t certainly is unfair to
allow a thoughtless few to jeopar-
dize the lives and property of the
majority. In Delaware 20 people
have been killed on our highways
during the present year.
If you are among the majority you
have a right to register a mighty
protest against the carelessness that
is so prevalent on our streets. If you
are among that unpopular five per
cent you had better make careful
analysis of your driving habits in an
effort to determine the cause of
your accidents.
One point which many drivers ap-
parently lose sight of is that tired
drivers are more susceptible to ac-
cidents than drivers who only drive
a reasonable number of miles per
day and have had a sufficient amount
of rest before, starting on the trip.
Fatigue is not only caused from lack
of sleep. Improper food may cause
it, Hours of driving in a cramped
position will help bring on fatigue.
Worry is another potent cause. Any
one of these factors make safe driv-
ing difficult. Any two or more of
them combined make driving a dan
