MINNIE L HODAPP American Fork, Utah December 8, 1088 TRAFFIC HAZARDS Travel in tbe olden day waa alwaya safe and Bound; tbe buggy wheels, tbe bold horse too, half bnrled In the ground, could carcely pull the loaded spokes as they went round and round. The driver then could ait and think, and calculate the coat of hasvestlng and haying too. how many sheep hed lost, end watch the algna upon the hills tha' meant an early frost. And as he Jogged at easy gait along the country road he could figure out the flour bill and see how much he owed, end how the hens could If they would assist to lift the load. But now the- - speedway has appeared, that dark old sticky mass Is hammered down In measured space like aheets of tin or brass, end when the rain and snows descend theyre Just as slick as glees. Upon their shining surface rolls a stream by day and night of flying antoa tooting borna and flashing vivid lights, that aet your nerves a tingling and blur your failing sight. If you escape these murderers and come out all alive the chances are you'll need a Doc to help you to revive, and then you'll swear it isnt safe to taka another drive. The reason for this awful woe Is all quite clear and plain - you see some driver think it swell to chloroform their brain, and then presume to drive a car aa If they were Insane. No feilowa! This will never do. The best and safest way la to tighten up the old garage and put the car away, then buy a bill of groceries and then go home to stay. Yes travel's changed, like wedding gowns, at our expense, this speeding age, with all It Joys and pleasures so Intense, haa taken quite a toll of us, and cut short of common sense.
