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?
