Only Three Hurt in Traffic

Evidence that the newest campaign
against reckless driving is being taken
seriously by motorists has been given
by marked decrease in the number
OF mishaps since the drive got under
way two days ago
Refusing to believe it is a coinci-
dence that only six persons have been
injured here during the last 48 hours,
police officials are convinced the pub
lie is really cooperating in an effort
to make the Districts highways safer.
While there has been no decided
increase in arrests since the campaign
to educate" drivers started, Inspec-
tor L. I. H. Edwards. acting .superin-
tendent of police, said today officers
