automobiles which, like the
old one horse shay, may fall
to pieces on the highway any
minute = the police depart
ment is performing an essen
tial public service. These ma
chimes are on the highways
and the city streets every
day. Without adequate brakes
some of them have no
brakes at all : and lacking
the other equipment or Access
series necessary for safe driv-
ing, they are a menace TO
other drivers and their own
. operators. The hazard is in
creased at night because of
their poor lights or no lights
at all. In the list of traffic
casualties, a proportion tar
too large can be charged TO
the "jalopy.'
There is no desire TO de-
prive any person of the con-
venience or pleasure of an
automobile. In fact, in such
a time as this the automobile
is in a great many instances
a necessity. Not all of those
who require one can afford
more than the cheapest priced
used car on the market. But
the public welfare requires
that they be safe. both for
the owner and others who
use the streets and highways.
Not all the poorly equipped
cars, however, are "laloples.
1t is not uncommon to see
a good looking car backed
against the curb at the foot
of the 9th street hill to wait
until the Broadway light turns
green and then make a dash
for it. The brakes would not
hold if it were necessary to
stop on the hill. There is a
good job ahead for the police
men on the beat as well as
the traffic officers.
