In the graveyard softly sleeping,
Where the flowers gently wave,
Lies the one I loved so dearly

Cease to weep for tears are vain :

Gone to Heaven with the best.

THE RECKLESS PEDESTRIAN

Last year the automobile fatality record touched ame
high with total SO killed One of the aspects of the
record the pedestrian toll
Those who believe that accidents involving and pedes
always the fault of the motors sadly mistaken
five of every eight accidents which foot
killed by car the pedestrian entirely to blame
Thrtyfour of the pedestrians who killed be-
of their carssness struck while crossing in the
middle the block against traffic signals Seventeen cent
killed while walking the side of the road Eleven
of the pedestrian fatalities involved children playing
the Nine the fatalities resulted walkers
stepping suddenly behind the
traffic significant fact that in 1884, the rate of death per
pedestrian accident As crossing the middle
the block than the intersection
ing against signals than with them.
The careless walker like the careless driver constitutes
grave problem that be definitely solved if
the automobile toll The for pedestrian ecessnes pure
y up the nivduaa the traffic laws in the world cannot
make walk properly streets and highways he is
congenay careless Obey the signals in the mid
die of bocand keep and mind busy with
the problem of safely reaching your destination That
amounts to "life insurance" for the pedestrian.
