THE CRUCIAL ACCIDENT PERIOD
The automobile death and accident rate has shown a steady
decline for a number of months. But now the crucial test period
is at hand.
We are entering the most dangerous driving months. Fall
brings rains, to be followed by the ice and snow of winter, all
of which immeasurably increase driving hazards. Equally im
portant, these seasons bring shorter days — and the accident
rate at night, is much higher than in daylight.
The wise driver will prepare for this dangerous period. And
preparation should take two forms. Put your car in first-class
condition, so far as brakes, lights, tires and steering are con
cerned. And put yourself in the proper mental condition for
safe driving. Never before that the human element is the re
sponsible factor in the great majority of accidents. Before any
one can drive safely, he must think safely. He must know the
hazards he faces, and be prepared for them. This “safety con
sciousness’’ is the first and most vital essential of accident pre
vention.
Remember that chance-taking isn’t clever. Any fool can
push the throttle to the floorboards, pass on hills and curves,
disregard adverse weather conditions, and perform similar acts
of idiotic recklessness. Caution is the product of intelligence.
Drive safely all the time. Ami be especially careful in the
fall and winter seasons. Then the accident rate will continue to
go down.

He tried; he managed to whittle ont

The next day, after a night spent

the four weary men stumbled on.
Two of them died. George Dennis
and one other man kept going. At
last they reached San Bernardino.
If Dennis had not met the old
prospector when he did. he might
never have known that hideous
nightmare which haunted him ever
afterward.
But the experienced
