Uniform motor vehicle laws would cut the number of accis dents by 35 per cent and you can do fon. After all it is public opinion which counts. The traffic situation is so muddled that at timos onc does not feel at home even in one's own city.” “If the human race could only concentrate a hundred per cent for more than five minutes there would not be so many accidents and so many crimes,” he continued. “But, the trouble is that the human race is lacking In this respect; the aver- |age man finds it too hard to concen- trate and leaves 1t to the other fel- low to do it. And that is another great social disease, letting the other fellaw do the thinking and the other felow leaves it to you, the re- ault being that one looks upon the other as the wrongdoer, whereas in reality we all are wrong-doers be- cause we won't concentrate, use our common sense or stop to think be- fore we go ahead. We act before we think, and gencrally lose out in the proposition, “Crime after all is human be- haviour, divided into two classes, the normal behaviour and abnormal behaviour, Normal behaviour s self-control regulated by commnwon scnse, whereas abnormal hehaviour is doing something without first thinking.
