In thla. the trreateat of all Western

Society Not Antagonistic.
"There 1 a feeling In some quarter
that the National Highways Protective
Society is opposed to motoring. It 1
not. On the other hand a large propor

but they drive them sanely.
" 'A score of years ago a man who
drove a horse through New York a
streets at 20 miles an hour would make
the populace hold up their hands in
horror and would be stopped and carted
to the police station before be had pro
gressed five blocks. Such speed waa
not aa dangerous In those daya as It la
in these; yet how many times a day can
any of us see a motor racing up or
down our avenues at twice 40 mile an

As public perils they were very prompt
