Indian Skeleton R F O T Found in County r e;i io College i Dfil ¡Citi) OLD TIM E SP E E D E R S NEWS OF THE s ts * À i E » None will deny that the traffic problem, especially in our larger cities, is becoming extremely acute. Added to the congestion, v ’hich appears unavoidable, is the menace o f the inattentive driver and the willful speeder. Hut we should not imagine that similar problems did not concern city dwellers of the past. In an editorial which appeared in the New York Mirror in the year l ‘ >34, the reckless Broadway bus drivers were severely criticized for their disregard of life and limb. It said: “ The inconvenience and danger of this is no less felt bv those who ride than by those who walk. It has not only become dangerous to cross Broadway on foot, but persons who venture or trust themselves inside one of these carriages run the risk of having their brains turn ed by the rapidity of the motion.” Not only was fear expressed for the safety o f pedes trians, but the writer of that editorial appears to have believed that too rapid speed would scramble the very brains inside one’s cranium. W hat would he have thought of the recent feat of driving an airplane at the rate of five miles a minute?
