CARPENTIf R S e c r c t . i r y of S t n t c Every driver should be aware of his responsibility to be alert and ever on the lookout for pedestrians. A pedestrian has a slim chance agaiust a moving vehicle of greater weight. Just as some drivers riin stop lights, so do some pedestrians igr nore them. Some people are not thinking of the important task they have when they cross streets against traffic signals. Others are «|ust in a "hurry" for a Date With Fate. While many pedestrians are killed while crossing a street against a traffic signal an even larger number are killed when they attempt to cross the street in the middle of a block. A driver has little time to bring his car to a halt if a "jaywalker" suddenly darts out in front of him from between two parked cars. And a driver should be most alert wben driving through a residential section. Children have no time to worry about dashing into the street when they are playing. The driver must worry for them. A copy of the completely new "Rules of the Road" booklet will be sent to you free upon request. Write to CHARLES F. CARPENTIER, Secretary of State, Springfield, Illinois.
