With his car stopped, | the driver must alight and go around in front to disengage the switch. Several weak points are yet to be Perfected, Stump added. There ts danger of starting the horn blowing @nd stalling the car in traffic jams, ‘or when parked tn a densely packed street, and even small boys might be tempted to start a whole lot of cars Wblowing unless the switches were| ‘turned off when their owners left.

Equally negligent of his own safety ts the ostrich who buries his head in an umbrella, a newspaper or in deep thought while crossing the street, or the artful dodger who disregards the traffic signals to save a second or two. Looking both ways Is <qually important, whether you are crossing a street or a railroad crossing. Don't loiter in the middle of the street Just for the fun of making the driver slow down; he may maintain his speed for the joy of seeing you jump. Do not place too much confidence In the other fellow; you must depend on yourself for safety.
