1T0 SPEEDSTER IS A CAREFUL DRIVER AS A RULE It Is very often the case that the man who can make the greatest speed in an automobile Is the most careful driver under ordinary circumstances, the reckless drivor under any and all circumstances being the one who i3 filled with thrills of an unsubstantial nature. This fact Ib nicely illustrated In a story which comes from New York. Here it is A closed car wan heincr drivnn alnnrr Broadway. Following it was an open car In which wero two men.

"I'll bet that's some old man driving driv-ing that car who'd die of heart failure fail-ure if ho went thirty -miles an hour," tho other added. Sounding the horn frantically, when opportunity presented, the driver of the second car speeded up and passed the lone occupant of the enclosed car. He turned to kill him with a look" and was almost dumfounded when he saw the driver was a beardless youth, chewing gum and apparently unexclt-ed unexclt-ed by all the commotion. , "Well, what do you think of a kid who drives like that?

And the driver of the 1 other car thought of him as a dub. 1
