PROTECT BOTH YOURSELF AND THE OTHER FELLOW pHERE is a great need on the part of many motorists and pedestrians for a fuller understanding of each other's rights. Traffic regulations are intended to operate for the safety of all. A little use of plain "horse sense" and a little more respect for the other fellow's rights would eliminate a great many acci dents that result in death, injury, property damage and no end of mental anguish and physical suffering. "Jay -walking" de velops into sudden death or a prolonged stay at the hospital just as often as do wild, reckless driving by speed maniacs. The purpose of this announcement is to point out the means of eliminating the bulk of the accidents Read, remember and observe DON'TS For Drivers DON'T approach street intersections at high speed.

I must not attempt to cross a street except at a crossing, for there is less danger there than at any other point. I must not play in the street, especially in one frequently used by automobiles and other vehi cles. I must not attempt to run if I am caught in the middle of the street with vehicles coming from both directions, for if I stand still they will be likely to go around me without harm. I must not steal rides by hang ing' on- the back of wagons, trucks, automobiles or street cars. I must not throw a stone or other missile at any vehicle. I must not use roller skates or coasters on the streets. I must stay on the right side of the street and near the curb while riding a bicycle. I must not start or take part in a panic when a fire starts in school. I should remain in my seat until I can walk out without danger of being crushed in the aisles. I must not run my bicycle too close to street car or automobile or catch n on either of them, or use an air rifle, slingshot or pea shooter within the city limits.
