Increased factors of safety, improved brakes and dependable lights and signals have come to be the rule In automobile manufacture. “The driver owes it to himself to have his automobile at all times in working order. He must know as muah about his brakes as about hi accelerator The pedestrian owes it to him self to walk alertly and to observe traffic regulations, remembering few accidents occur in traffic in which the pedestrian is wholly free from blame. Training to that end should begin with a child as soon as he is able to walk and should be con- stantly continued at home and at school, “There is mutual responsibility and mutual penalty, Many suffer in every accident besides those im. mediately involved.
