Go Slow! Accidents
 On Curves Numerous
Mishaps on Increase in Waterbury States M. " Com-
 missioner-Tips on Safe Driving

Members of the Democrats Safe Drivers club will be glad to listen and put these suggestions into practice.
 Commissioner Michael A. Connor of the motor vehicle department in his first editorial of series which appeared in the Democrat gave us the information on Saturday that for the first six months of 1884 we had more accidents right here in Waterbury than we did during the same period year ago. Now let's do what we can to pull down the per centage during the next six months and start right in by be- ing careful. Here is another cause of many accidents and a tip on how to avoid them: Accidents on Curves-Slow Down!
 A careful driver always slows down the speed of his car when approaching curve in the high. way. Modern road construction where curves are banked helps amazingly. but if the driver, even momentarily loses control while travelling fast, or the car skids, the car plunges through the fence oI down the embankment.
 The ordinary sharp curve is dangerous enough unless speed is reduced and the s curve is doubly so, both because the equilibrium of the car is reversed and it is fre- quently impossible to see around the curve enough to observe cars coming at high speed from the op- posite direction.
 Slow down for all curves! You may be an expert driver yourself, but your life is in danger and you are completely at the mercy of the driver coming from the opposite direction.
 Be careful driver. Join the Democrats Safe Drivers club to- day.
