In the latest motor car tragedy in which two lives were crushed | out in the Bronx two heavy touring cars were racing abreast through White Plains avenue at rate which bystanders estimated to be forty miles an hour. One car mounted the sidewalk, killed a baby in a! baby carriage, hurled the father against the wall and cashed on to) mangle a man standing on a corner. In charge of this machine was) a twenty-year-old chauffeur. It is against the law to carry a dangerous weapon. Is a pistol any more dangerous than a mass of steel half as big as a locomotive! shot through public thoroughfares by an irresponsible youth whose one thought is to “show her speed” and pick up @ race with some daredevil like himself? We have gloated too much over the usefulness of the motor car to consider it.in its other aspect as a dangerous menace to safety. We put it into reckless hands. We make no effective laws against its misuse, Until rigid examination and adequate penalties make it a sober and serious business to drive an automobile in this State, until we realize that the character of the owner or driver is more important The Evening World Daily M Can You Beat It? @ «22s, @ By Maurice Ketten 1AM INVITED To Go ON AN AUTo RIDE BY TaaT SWELL Guy, WIFEY ONE SECOND SOONER AND WE” WOULD EEN SMASHED to the public safety than the make,of the machine, w need expect no check to the present motor frenzy with its riotous disregard of hu- man life, A that the wearers have authority to help enforde tidiness in Central Park, is a good idea and one that can easily be de- veloped in other parts of the city. me One of the small bootblacks who watch out for trade in Wash- ington Square was seen the other day busily collecting papers and litter from the walke and grass.
