THE CAPITOL News f General Public la teral l ike Oattty Sttfc ' OF ENJOY BEND MEETING ROAD HOG WILL SOONER OR LATER GO INTO THE DITCH Certain laws and customs exist as to what vehicles shall have the right of way when meeting at cross roads or elsewhere. The careful automo bile driver finds that many others are inclined to steal this right from him. Unless he drives ahead as if he proposed to insist on his position. the other fellow will bluff his way, and take the precedence that does not belong to him. This is irritating to the man who likes to stand up for his rights. Yet there are many foolB on the road, and the loss of time involved by conced ing a doubtful point is so infinitesi mal, that it hardly seems worth while to be too strenuous about your rightB on the road. If you go ahead every time you have the right to do so, some wild man will run into you some day, and then you may have a law suit or a hospital case. The conservative citi zen is ant to conclude that it is bet ter to let a hog take his course. Sooner or later he will .get into the ditch where he belongs.
