You may go ns you please when the eourse clear and the sticlch Is smooth and straight. But watch your pneo where the road-ray road-ray bends and travel tho ourves with dare. And be ready to meet the test should danger stop you there. There ure laws lo govern the speed of men and the manner they shall go.

Which says that we must bo kindly folk or courteous or polite; 'Ve can drive as road hogs if we c hoose -iiid legally be right. The rule of ti.e road Ifl keep to the right but the rule of a gentleman I fa to give to the neighbor who would pass aJ much of the voud as he ca n . And there'll be less need for the laws In books and a happier world 'twould be I If we'd all obey nn the roads of life the rules of courtesy. |
