GOODRICH SILVERTOWN TIRES NOT INCORPORATED 806 GROVE ST., EVANSTON "Across from the Fire Station" Phone Greenleaf 1860 CHAPIN & WILILSON One Second Looms Big When Accident Tolls Are Recorded "It would be a good thing for motorists to learn and remember that a car going sixty miles per hour cov- ers 88 feet per second; a car going thirty miles an hour means 44 feet per second; and a car going 15 miles an hour means 22 feet per second," says Charles M. Hayes, of Winnetka, president of the Chicago Motor club. The Rhode Island board of public roads reports that in 4,014 motor acci- dents last year, one second, one-six- tieth part of a minute of extra pre- caution was the difference between safety and death or injuries. If a man driving his car at 60 miles an hour does not see another car coming out of an intersecting street until he is 88 feet from it, he has only one second in which to stop. It can- not possibly be done. If a man is driving at 30 miles an hour and sees another car coming out of an inter- secting street when he is 44 feet from it, he has only one second to stop. Impossible. If a man drives his car at 15 miles an hour and does not sce another car coming out of an inter- secting street, or a child dodging out from behind a parked machine, or a woman with a baby carriage suddenly starting to cross, until he is 22 feet from the object, he has only one sec- ond in which to stop. It can't be done. "Keep this in mind," says Mr. Haves, "and avoid accidents."
