COUFLE ROB GROCER AT ROME CITY OF $20

ROMY CITY, March 18 (U. P).— |-

Police foday: were searching for a man ard! woman who robbed Mr. and Mr:.. Clarence Pierson, grocers here, of $20 and several carfons of cigarets. : Mr. Pisrson was called to the cottage at nearby Syvan Lake where

the couple livéd, to pull their car |- {ill out of th2 mud. “The grocer entered |. Hill

their cabin only to be forced at the point of a gun to write his wife a ‘note telling her to give them all the money in the store. The bandits then tie him to a chair and went’ to his store. :

He hopes to do even better in the record-making business with - the two roaring monsters that just now are no more than sketches being worked out in a shop at 1314 W. Washington St. where the racers are being built under the supervision of Augie Duesenberg. He has driven an estimated 2 million miles in ordinary traffic and he never has had an accident. He

- | doesn’t expect to have one, either.

“Good driving is just the exercise of good common sense,” he said. “I never speed unless I have a clear road for some distance ahead. I never speed in a city. I always look

‘for signs. If one tells me that 20

miles an hour is the speed limit for that section, that’s what my speedometer will show. I'm always watching out for the other fellow. I never touch it up on the brow of a hill, or try to pass a car on a curve. Human Element Big

“I don’t try to hog the road, or try to crowd the other fellow. After all, when you are in an elevator you wouldn't crowd against your fellow passengers unintentionally. “The same applies: on the road. Unless there is a mechanical failure of some sort, every accident can be traced to the human element. Too much speed, too much thoughtlessness, and not enough regard for the rights of the other fellow.” : Mr. Jenkins thinks too much emphasis is given to speed by enforcement officers, to the detriment of other sources of accidents. fou “The slow driver, the fellow that drives in the middle of the road and some others who are not in the speed class .are a menace, t00,” he
