- When disaster in some horrible form
takes toll of + ian life we are shocked,
but for some reason or other death on the
highways, day after day, is taken as
matter of course by a large part of the
public. Almost $4,000 persons have lost
their lives in highway accidents during the
past six months. Of course, if all had
been crushed to death at one time we
would have been appalled,, but as the oc-
currence is daily we are not very much inn
pressed Most of the accidents are due to
caFelessness and recklessness, and the pity
i. that safe and careful drivers have their
lives jeopardized by drunken, reckless and
incompetent drivers, who are not only a
menace to themselves but to all others
driving on the highways.
