o'clock and were married. The

~ ' P?u. >rd Jojvriship,!

The fatal auto accident at
Monroe as reported elsewhere
should be a warning to careless
drivers. We can't say that the
driver was to blame, for we have
not the facts, but the thing oc
currcd just the same. If the
brakes were at fault this is all
the more reason why there is
need for caution at all times. If
brakes fail to work who can say
when or where it will be? It is
a thousand wonders many more
are not killed and wounded.
