Maguire's committee on the need Of
enforcing ordinances or regulations
covering the trimming or elimination
Of hedges, shrubbery or other obstruc-
tions to clear vision at intersections
or other points. A number Of areas in
the county, it Is brought out, have
regulations with regard to hedges,
which are not enforced. Such obstruc-
tions, the committee points out, are
potential sources of accident. One Of
the objectives of the drive now being
sponsored by the clubwomen Of the
county, therefore, is the elimination Of
these obstructions. In order that this
objective may be accomplished, Mrs.
Mcguire believes it will be necessary
to secure the cooperation Of individual
property owners in county communities.
To aid Mrs. Mcguire In carrying
out the countrywide safety drive, Mrs.
B. Peyton Whalen, president Of the
Montgomery County Federation Of
Women's Clubs, has appointed the fol-
lowing women: Mrs. A. r. Selby,

AUTO SPEED CUT
|NFACTORY URGED
Safety Drive Commentator
Says Pace Is Key to
. Sane Operation.

Speed mania has gripped the great
majority our our population and Is
being "assiduously cultivated and en-
couraged," in the opinion Of John w.
Bennett, one Of the many who have
written to The Star Safety Council
in connection with its safety cam
paign.
Bennett believes that the whole
safety problem hinges upon speed and
that the only solution is to prevent
speeding by prohibiting the manufac-
ture of fast automotive vehicles. His
letter follows:
Everybody applauds any attempt
to do away with the brutal slaughter
which is being wrought in our streets
by speed maniacs at the wheels of au-
tomobiles. I am not finding fault
with the good intentions manifested in
your diligent campaign for better
conditions. I do wish, however. that
you would use your great energies and
extensive influence to some purpose
In this campaign by realistically fac
ing the problem to be solved.
Speed Is Crux.
Everybody capable of worthwhile
thought upon the subject has reached
the conclusion that the problem
hinges upon speed. A thousand
drivers more or less skillful and more
or less fitted to drive cannot be
trusted to use upon the public high
ways machines capable of going at
express train speed without making
these highways scenes Of death and
disaster. Laws will not prevent the
driving of these machines at the high
speed of which they are capable
Speed mania has gripped the great
majority of our population. 1t is being
assiduously cultivated and encouraged
Taking away of licenses to drive and
impounding cars of persons responsible
for accidents may have some effect
If rigidly enforced. Courts as now
constituted are incapable of such
rigid enforcement.
THE remedy, and the only effective
remedy, then, lies in beginning at the
automobile factories and seeing to il
that no family car is made capable
of running more than 80 miles ar
hour and no heavy truck or bus ca
pable of running more than IS OF
20 miles an hour. That would save
probably 10000 lives yearly in the

when I loudly admonished both
drivers in turn, they politely told me to
'go to hell" and then sped away.
Evidently some people have not yet
learned about your safety drive What
protection do green lights afford pedes-
trians anyhow?
