CASK Farm Machinery Parts Talmage, Utah before. Automobiles are made faster than ever. People drive faster tlian ever. They even die faster than ever. Most persons think the dare-devi- l aerial stuntster plays fast and loose with life. They say, I wouldnt do that. They shudder when they see a window cleaner hanging by a life belt, high above the street Most persons say, I wouldnt do that. They watch with bated breath the structural steel worker walking almost gingerly around on the skeleton of a huge skyscraper. None of that for tli average person. The stunts of the rope walker, the trapeze performer, the high diver and all his brothers and sisters are of innot pursuits for the mine-rudividuals. Not by a jug full. But few drivers regard in a serious light the hazards of motoring. To most theres nothing to worry about when a car is being driven at high rates of speed, or when a curve or corner is taken sharply, or when another car is met almost head on at the top of a hill. The record of the occurrence of automobile accidents last year the smashing of cars with trains, against trees and telephone poles and against bridges, the wrecking of cars going off the road, and the collision of cars at innumerable places all go to indicate that many drivers don't realize the constant risks which only the utmost care makes It possible to avoid. n Utah Deaths (Total) Bay Petroleum Products Wholesale and Retail Tires and Accessories Duchesne, Utah SAVE WITH SAFETY AT YOUR Rexall Drug Stoic PRESCRIPTION FOUNTAIN SERVICE CONFECTIONS SUNDRIES Duchesne Drug Duchesne Phone 261 JAMES II.
