Friday, April 2, 1937 THE HECKLE88 DRIVER (By Mary HarrltJ Armor) ? / Thorn uppeared In Collier's Weekly not long ago. a moat thought provok lug article: "Fools on \Vheels." Wince there mo strict rules und regulations for (lit! men who operate public conveyances trains, busses, ??t<-.?why should irresponsible drivers bo tillowed lo use their own curs In Hitch reckloHH fashion as to mako our highnays rod with blood and black with grief? As olio watches the sloadlly mount lug slaughter Ills heart dies within him and lie is tempted to think that . people fool that nothing can be done 6r else that they have become ho hardened lo human suffering tiiut they no longer care. The latter can-j not be true, for witness the prompt and generous response to the appeals of the Hid Cross during the recent Hoods. The Moods killed hundreds, while tho'autoinobile kills many thousands every your. Dr. Morris Fishbelli, speaking of the deuths from 'motor uceldents In 1935, said: "More 1x1)s and gltls were killed last year by automobiles than died of diphtheria, scarlet fever or typhoid." The latest reports hIiow that "1936 tops all records" for hlgiiwuy deaths and that In uddltlon nearly a million people were maimed?many of them cripples for life. An outraged, indignant, brokenhearted public is demanding that something be done about it. Wo liuve been promtsoi? thut a good highway law will be enacted, at the present session of the Georgia legislature. What is a good law? No law can be called a good law unless It is c* calculated to take the incompetent and reckless drivers off the highways It must not only forbid speeding, reckless driving, drunken driving, etc. It must also say: "It you drive don't drink; if you drink don't drive." It is not the drunken driver that is the greatest menace on our highways. It is the driver who has taken just enough alcohol a bdltlc ot beer, one cocktail ? a dose of al< oliol considered > veil extremely moderate fix- all no di t al and social purposes, who is a potential killer when driving a car Science bus proven that it takes very little alcohol to so depress the nervous system as to dungerously slow a person's reaction time. A car running (10 miles an hour is running 8S feel In one second; seventeen and three-Mfths feet in one-lifth of a second Normally a person reacts to what he sues or hears in oncfifth of a second. I'nder the influence of moderate doses of alcohol that lime is increased to two or even three-lifths ot u second. On the highway life or death is decreed in split seconds. So no person can say it is my private business if I drink. That may he, if he does not also drive. Hut driving is a ier\ public business and it is i essential to public safety Unit he does not drink und driva, I ni tug the.-,*- facts it is tragic to sell liquor and gasolim- at the .same slat ion 1' t> obvious that the public will not much longer tolerate the killings, mannings, ib-.si ruction of happiness, ptopi-riv and ii!<- on our highways <>i r-i kit s.-, and incompetent motorists. olteii made by alcohol l.ike the tiood water* that rose till they swept all l.eiorc iln-iii, the tide ot public indignation is mounting, at tirst slowly, ',;,r -unre and more rapidly, and one day it will sweep all the lies and sophistry with which a devouring tiade hits beclouded the- real issue, and d> maud that since liquor refuses to be controlled it must be abolished.

"Holy smoke," says the stranger, "If he can play like lie did today when sick, what must he do when feeling In good health." No folks, last Sunday's game was not the last of the season. Have It from none other than my friend Charley DuBose, Jr., that they'll be out spanking the willow ball around the lot for several weeks yet.

Carter, notorious claim fraud operator known ;ih the "India Rubber Man," has bounced back into prison, trapped by a little white card. Two months after he had been paroled in New Jersey, the gates of the Maryland State Penitentiary closed for five years on the man who. by his own confession, has faked 200 accidents and collected $20,000 in fraudulent claims. Cartel's career was abruptly halted by the vigilant work of the Index Bureau System of the National Bureau <xf Casualty and Surety Underwriters. Carter possesses the unique faculty of being able to dislocate every Joint in his body, police say. and has successfully pretended paralysis. He has some forty known aliases and the trail <;f his frauds reaches to every corner of the country. Time and again he lias deceived doctors into treating his fulse injuries and has enjoyed the comforts of many hospitals at public expense. Otto Philadelphia doctor was so impressed by his neck dislocation trick that he recently wrote a paper on it for the Ameritan Journal of Surgery Carters story is spectacular, but its significance goes deeper. He may be unique in the versatility of his claim faking talents, but his brand of dishonest activity is common The country is infested with great numbers of these claim fraud racketeers. They levy an annual tribute of millions of dollars on honest business and honest Individuals. As with every other racket, the buying public ultimately pays for It. One by one the claim fraud fraternity is being brought to book. l,et them barken to the comment of William P. Cavanaugh, manager of the claim department of the National Bureau: "The successful prosecution of ( arter indicates the ultimate destination of these fradulent claim artists. Once caught up with, they are finding it practically impossible to drop out of sight again and still continue J to play their game With every clnim | man in the country on the watch for him after his release from the New Jersey penltentinry, Darter never had a chance. His fate is a warning to his Ilk, and evidence of the increasing effectiveness of the defenses j against this " Ruth Owen. IT. Brevard. N.
