THE SAFE DRIVERS CODE

There is one badly needed code which
will not have to await an official sigma
ture. 1t affects every person in the coun-
try, and its adoption should be unanimous.
1t is Tine Safe Drivers Code''
Accident statistics reported to June
30, 1888, according to the National Bureau
Of Casualty and Surety Underwriters, show
ed that 1890 persons had been killed by
automobiles this year. The indications,
Judging from unofficial reports in July and
August, are that final results may show a
decided increase in deaths and accidents
for 1888. This is doubly significant be-
cause there are nearly 10 percent fewer
automobiles registered in the United States
this year than in 1881.
To motorists, therefore, and to pedes-
TRANS and all users of our streets and high
ways, the following code is directed:
/. Regulate your speed to fit traffic
conditions; keep your car under control at
all times.
2. Slow down for intersections, and
obey traffic signals.
g. Use better judgment in passing,
waiting until there is at least 500 feet of
clear distance ahead.
A. Pedestrians: Cross at crosSwalks ;
walk on the left side facing traffic; obey
traffic signals
5. Remember that automobile acct
dents constitute an economic waste total
ing billions, through property damage, high
insurance costs. increased taxes, etc.
Every lnotorist should feel that it is
his duty and privilege to pledge himself to
this code.

After it has dried. be sure to soften your hands with cream because as 1t elimin- ates unnecessary moisture, it dries the hands.

 Everyone in the garden seemed young tonight. Everyone seemed happy. They were there. two and two, two and two. Those who were in love. Those who were al- most in love. A few who were al- most out of love but didn't quite know 1t, and so thought they were catching at an illusive joy.
