PAGE EIGHT, Che Casper Daily Cribune Speeding Kills! Drive Right! — Walk Right! Pipes speed maniac is a menace to society. Almost equally guilty is the jay-walker. Too many unnecessary deaths - too many unwarranted accidents — are recorded against the year to date. Not only in this community, but in almost every section of the country, the death-deal- ing motor car and the absent-minded pedestrian have brought sorrow and grief to hun- dreds of homes. While we recognize this is an age of speed -- never- theless the wild, reckless, law-defying motorist must be curbed. There’s a code that limits the mileage -- a reasonable speed that places every car under con- trol -- and gives both rider and walker equal privi- leges on the highways and byways. While the number of cars on the roads of travel has increased by leaps and bounds during the last few years, the total of killed and injured has far exceed- ed the normal advance. Recklessness is largely the cause. Benedict Motor Co. Auto Electrical Co. Yellowstone Garage R.N. Van Sant Wyoming Oldsmobile Co. Auto Service Co. Jack Jones’ Garage Warne & Crosby Motor Co. Joe E.
