Show Watch Your Car Door to Prevent Accidents Several serious accident have been reported during the first six months of the year involving coses where children chil-dren have fallen out of machines due to extreme carelessness on the part of the motorist, according to a bulletin bulle-tin Issued by SI. Muyer, president of the automobile club of Illinois. Never allow a child to sit next to the door of an automobile If it la possible, nor extend it any such privileges priv-ileges as closing or opening the doors for passengers. In this wise many doors, which would otherwise seem securely fastened have merely been closed without the double-snap lock taking hold. A three-year-old son of a party of tourists was recently hurled to the pavement from a car traveling at an approximate speed of 40 miles per hour. The child was severely se-verely injured and may possibly be crippled for life, due, no doubt, to some One's carelessness. "At this youthful age. the child could not be expected to do the things that the grownup should of done," declared de-clared Mr. Muyer, and it is the duty of every motorist having children, or for that matter, anyone as a passenger passen-ger to carefully guard against this form of accident. |
