rfHoru ot mon at atnoaiotNie acciu-nis In round numbers. 12,500 persons came to their deaths last year from this one cause.

Drivers of today report so numerously the diabolical methods of those whose sport it is to try to push ap preaching ears off the road into the ditch that one cannot doubt that this particularly form of danger is Increasing. No road patrols can atop it. The only hope lies in honest and relentless prosecution of such offenders and revocation of licenses Criminal action should be made possible from injuries in which a car is pushed off the road by a speed ma niac.

The pnishmenu provided generally are too mild. Imprisonment and rev oca tion of the license certainly are not too severe for the person whose drunken gyrations on the highway endanger the lives of others. The state highway commission is patting up three general classes of highway signs, and before the wort is finished several thousand will be erected. The warning signs include a Ekuil and crossbooes for general
