Another good rain fell here Sat-

DAYS after this editor had his
car washed. Over a period of
several years, the Claude News
Editor has never had his car wash-

than a week after the car was
washed.
Those interested in having a
rain come, should pay for this car I and most cities to enforce
being washed and get the rain.! sonable traffic regulations
es the factor that led to the mis-
hap was excessive speed. The best
proof of that lies in the fact that
the rate of death per accident on
highways -where speeds are natur-
ally higher than on streets—was
more than 100 per cent greater
than the average for all accidents
combined. In city accidents, the
rate of death per accident was 52
per cent worse between intersec-
tions. where motorists speed up.

bulk of drivers instinctively slow
down.
