carelessness of the victim—we find that throughout the y one car in every 1,200 was responsible for one of these accidents. If we assume the average mileage cov- cred by a car throughout the year to be 6,000, we find that 7,200,000 “automobile > will be covered for every fatal This is a mileage sufficient to hundred times around the world and represents a safety at- ned by but few means of transportation.

And, yet, when a child has been exposed to whooping cough he is, as a rule, quaran- tined to prevent the spread of the disease. But is a child “quarantined” from the street when he has exhibited carelessness at his play and failure to realize that the street must be used by trucks, automo- and horse-drawn vehicles in the pursuit of their business? The father and mother who deliber- ately permit. children suffering from whooping cough to associate with other children are not held guilty of a serious offense even though several of the other children’ may contract the supposedly innocent disease with possibly fatal con- sequences to one or more of them. And yet, the automobilist who drives with the greatest of care through a crowded street exposes himself to danger of arrest, trial for manslaughter and eventual suit for | exorbitant damages, merely because a child might suddenly decide to chase a ball or a playmate out into the middle | of the road. sas Circus Time (Continued from page 1) TT ity circus as rings and rings, | with a bewildering series of acts in mixture of ss in the country each going on at once spectacles that no pair of ¢ world can cope with, The circus had one ring succeeded wond.
