Don’t Be a Jay Driver.

An unusual number of motor car accidents have been reported in the last few days. There have been several collisions. In at least one instance a car skidded on a sharp curve and turned over. As cars multiply in number it is evident that increasingly careful driving is called for. The driver who •’hits her up” endangers not only l.js own. safety, but the safety ot other motorists. There are drivers who fail to slacken speed when they come to cross streets. There are drivers who dash around corners or across boulevards at high speed;. • x ’ It cannot be too strongly emphasized thpt the really competent driver always has, his car. under control; that he always drives on the theory that every other driver may be careless or may lose his head. Caution marks the competent driver. Recklessness belongs only to the jay.—Kansas City Star.
