And there seeius to he a large amount of evidence to sustain thnt point, (to the oilier hand, like everything e!. there are two sides to the question, for example, In the United States within the last twelve months there have hoen more than thirty thonsand deuths which were directly attributed to the motor cnr. Not to mention the many times that number of accident whic h did not result fatally. It should, therefore, be quite plain that gasoline can do much damage well as create much pleasure. With the use of the automobile practically prac-tically universal, and tourist travel growing by leaps and hounds. It Is logical to warn the man at the wheel. It Is only natural that by rolling along on a line nlghwny the operator will develop a keen enthusiasm. Rut the zest and fascination associated with this sort of thing can very quickly dull one's Judgment, which tnfortunate-ly tnfortunate-ly frequently occurs. When this happens, hap-pens, selfishness and recklessness step In and many drivers and passengers step outt It cannot be gainsaid that so to operate op-erate a car as to make a hospital case or worse of one's self or friends Is the height of folly. Tet by "beating" trains and In turn by being beaten by them, by falling to keep a Orm grasp on the steering wheel at all tiroes, by disregarding caution signs and lights, and by permitting Impatience to keep the car In high when caution demands less speed, many thousands of auto-moblllsts auto-moblllsts will conclude tbelr ride by adorning a hospital bed or by making mak-ing business for the cemetery people. It seems a shame that with streets and highways' admirably marked to aid In careful operation, with water supplies In many Jurisdictions designated desig-nated safe by health officials, with adequate supervision of wayside stands and camping grounds and finally, fi-nally, with all the health and pleasure which may be derived from the wide open spaces, so many drivers will put an untimely end to themselves and others by careless driving.

One has but to look around to realize real-ize that young men and women, as well as older ones, are foolishly engaged en-gaged In habits that tend 'to shorten life. The consequence Is that many a person who has actually only existed fifty or sixty years Is an septuagenarian septuage-narian from a physiological standpoint stand-point Where Is the sense to that? Continual worry, lack of the proper amount of rest over-playing or overworking, over-working, falling to exercise, excesses of all kinds, and In general, forgetting thnt the body as well n business requires re-quires intelligent direction, are the factors that prematurely hasten old age. It Is an established and scientific fact that careful living, barring accidents, acci-dents, will defer old age. Therefore, so conduct your life that when you look old you actually are that way.
