vidual and without warning or for no cause at all, deliberately siap that individual in the face it would! arouse a furor and assault and battery charges would likely be filed, also. But if this same individual, in driving -an automobile, does some careless piece of driving and seriously endangers some one’s life thereby, no one is likely to do anything about it, although the offense is far more serious. This illustrates the point as advanced by the Hoosier State Automobile Club, that people are not awake to the seriousness of the automobile accident situation. The motor clubs are warning the motoring public that the cooperation of every individual in reporting bad driving is absolutely necessary in order to turn the growing tide of accidents and bring about the elimination of the useless loss of life and property. They, point out that instances are to be found most anywhere such as recently in Rushville where the absence of a tail light on a parked car caused the death of two people, and a few days later a truck, parked partly on a pavement North of Shelbyville, and without a tail light, caused the instant death of two people in one car and the third person died from this accident the following day. The Automobile Association now asks the following question of each community: Since it is apparent to everyone that these various causes for automobile aciedents are being committed year after year and in steadily increasing volume, then it naturally follows that we may expect a continuation of these fatal accidents, which makes it self evident that most any community rhay pay a similar death toll at most any date. Think, for illustraion, this matter of a car parked partly _on the road at night with no tail light, and ask yourself the question Just what two or thred*will you select for your community to be the ones to be killed in this kind of an accident? Suppose it should include those dearest to you. Or will you, and everyone else wake up to the fact that you are not doing yourself a kindness, nor properly protecting your loved ones and friends unless you resolve immediately’ to act in reporting any instances of reckless driving that comes to your personal notice. No one should hesitate to do this as you are doing the guilty party a kindness, for if they are not corrected and cured of reckless driving habits, they are just as likely to kill themselves as others. So -clip out the report form which will appear in this paper from time to time and carry it with you or in your car, and make use of it as it is needed. ipcalHaj’peninjs Mrs. C. H.
