The pStrnl officers make a clear dis- tinction between speeding and care- less driving. The reckless driver has only an even dance of escaping Br- teat, and then only when he is Ible to pment I reasonable alibi. During 1926 a total of 339 wrest: were made for this otfmuse. with 493 warnings given. Driving while inundated is never eotmtenanced by the State Highway Patrol. The driver who mixes "moon" with gasoline is certain of arrest once he comes under the notice of these oitice.rs. But perehance should I driver step a little too heavy on the tttu' while enjoying the hard roads and he is seen by one of the patrol. his chances are a little better than 200 to one of escaping with n warn- ing. Arrests during 1926 for this in- fraction of the motor vehicle law numbered 697, as compared to 144H4 warnings. ' _ All these are but passing daily inci- dents in the work of the bronze-faced riders of the State Highway Patrol. It may be merely directions to the closest garage which is sought, or ad.. vice on the most desirable camping place. " may he to lend attentive ears to complaint over the action of somel 'troad hog," As well, it is frequently; the Nea of some "motor tramp," un-: successful in begging srsmcient gas at; the last camp to carry him through to his next port of refuge, and who? now finds himself stranded by the' roadside.

With the "motor tramp," toad nature of the patrolman pm- ticllly assures there will be a dome tion of gasoline sattieient to supply his needs for a few additional miles. It matters not whether one rides over the hard roads of Illinois in the latest type of high-powered car, with liveriod trhauttrur, or in an ancient model which rattles, coughs and wheezes over the highways, the State ,Highwny Patrol stands ready to lend a helping hand to the weary wayfarer in distress. They are the guardians of the hard Toads of Illinois. Where they ride motorists may well feel there rests that same security which has won from the settlers of Canada their love and idolizarion of the "Mounties," fined in story and film as the mast picturesque body of men in the world who are oftieers of the law, yet most of all are working to safeguard rights of those they serve. _ _ Warn Rather Than Arrest Motorcycle ofrieers of cities and towns are frequently looked upon by automobilists as their sworn enemies, because of arrogance and dictatorial mien. This accusation never rests against the State Highway Patrol. In direct contract mCmbers of this force are looked upon is the best friend of the motorist. Arrests average one to sixteen warnings given. Perfect specimens of physical man- hood. Men of quick and accurate judgment.
