God of common good and human brother
hood, I give Thee thanks for siren songs of
temptation that lure and entangle and the
understanding of other men they reveal; for
the weaknesses and failings of my neighbors
and the joy of lending a helping hand; for
my own shortcomings, sorrows and loneli
ness, that give me a deeper sympathy for
others; for ingratitude and misunderstand

er reward than self-expression.

Dusk Doubles Dangers
For Highway Traffic
Your Texas Safety Association
reminds you that twilight doubles
traffic troubles—so double your
caution in driving and walking in
this semi-darkness.
Take a little longer to get there
and be careful—there's so little
to gain; so much to lose.
i
ODAY and this weekend thousands of ordinarily he prefers the center of the road.
ou¥ readers will be driving automobiles We have never yet seen a roadhog that could
grunt his way to safety.
An equal menace is the driver who insists
on passing other cars when the highway zone
is plainly .marked “no passing.” Much of
this passing takes'place on hills. The can’t
wait driver is Highway Public Enemy No.

In our best pedagogical accents we will Many drivers are too gregarious by na-
try to recount again the reason for accidents ture and simply drive too close to the car in
and will attempt to enumerate those driving front of them. This is probably one of the
violations that seem to take the highest toll most common causes of all accidents today,
in human lives and broken bodies. The closer you drive to the car in front of
you the more likely you are to have a wreck.
After the wreck it is too late to slow down.
Some drivers ignore stop signs and other
warning signals. These people always ex
cuse themselves by saying that these signals
were erected for the benefit of other people.
Accidents begin where caution ends.
Thrill seekers make a practice of running
races with railroad trains. These drivers al
ways forget that the train cannot dodge or
get off the track. Time gained by beating
trains to crossings is often lost in the hospit-

§
To revert to classroom style, we must
state that all motor vehicle accidents are
caused by a violation of one or both of two
basic physical laws.
The first, the law of Mass, is that you
cannot put two objects into the same space
at the same time. The other, the law of In
ertia is that all bodies in the Universe will
remain at rest or in uniform motion in a
straight line, unless prevented by some ex
ternal force.
Our traffic laws and ordinances and the
engineer’s traffic control devices are design
ed to assist the motorist and the pedestrian
to avoid violating the basic physical laws.
When they are violated under the right com
bination of circumstances a so-called “traf
fic accident” results.
Many accidents occur as result of a com
bination of speed and unfavorable weather
conditions. Sleet, snow, and rain are not
times to set speed records. Bad weather
may excuse a delay but never an accident.
Daily the highways are afflicted with
people who insist on taking the whole high-
way for themselves. Occasionally such
driver will move over to the right side but
