One of the boys in signing this receipt added: "I won't mention it to anybody. I'm just as much ashamed of it as you are." Attention!

Mdomobllaf am Jboflfc Bnkk irfll build UNEXPECTED 'The unexpected causes Says Charles M. Hayes, Chicago Motor Club. "The UlijUldl comes from some outatde loam, t)M act of a pedestrian, iiirtfril driver, or from the unexpected failure of your own car to react as usual. If the motorist who crosses railway teack without stopping or looking expected a train to be coming dp you think he would proceed to cross? Hm> •train is unexpected, although common sense should teach you that any tfaad may be train time at railroad ciMMlttga. "The man who goes around to the left at a street car expects the *oad to be clear. The unexpected happens, a car is coming from the oftpoatte direction and an accident is Die result. "The movements of the pedestrians are as uncertain as the weather. A man walking quietly along the street sees Iris street car approaching, he makes a dash for the car, paying no heed to the automobile traffic and the_ motorist who is not prepared for the* unexpected is likely to strike him. "When driving, it is a good plan to watch groups of people on street corners, waiting for cars. Some one may get an idea into his head to cross over to the opposite side of the street without giving a thought to traffic. "Never pass another car on a curve. Do not take a chance believing that the road will be clear. The same rule applies on hills, another car hidden from view may descend just as you are passing the car'ahead. You will be on the wrong side of the road and an accident may be the result of your folly. "When a good driver becomes carelass, the unexpected finds him as helpless as the tyro. A man who had crossed this continent many times in an automobile, was driving along a quiet country road in Iowa one morning several years ago. This man had driven in the heavy traffic of New York and Chicago, he had negotiated all the difficult mountain passes of the country. He knew how to drive but on this quite safe' looking road, he was off his guard. He tried to pass another car and in doing so he got out onto the grass covered with the dew of an early summer morning, his car skidded and turned cvfr in a ditch. The good driver was killed, because he did not respond to the warning his memory must have given him. Road shoulders are frequently treacherous Rains may undermine the shoulders leaving only a thin crust, and the grass is bound to be wet and slippery at this time of the morning. "Nothing is brought home to me more frequently than the need, of always practicing caution. It is not enough to be careful most-of the time; caution is a quality that like honesty must be practiced always. Many a man who was dishonest only once is in the penitentiary today; many a motorist who was careless hut once will never pgain watch the sun sink behind purple hills nor see the glory of a pink dawn. The. hand of fate is not withheld because of a hitherto good driving record. * "Always careful" should be the motto seared in the brain of the motorist. "It is possible to go through the form of looking without seeing. 1 looked but didn't see anything* is the explanation given by drivers who do not use their brain cells as well as their eyes. We must look to see. We must drive with our minds on the business of driving. Do not allow your driving to become automatic; the mechanical operaion of the car soon does become automatic, and it is well it does so, but the more important phase, the work of watching the road, should never be allowefl to lapse into • that listless state that invites accidents. Beware of the unexpected, for the unexpected is always bound to be at the bottom of all motoring accidents." or i, payable at West itc? to anyone who can tag against our chartacter rMcHenry.
