 ^ .^ I tlie 19i~ se.ison when the 

 .ippar.itus was imlimbered at Piper ( ity. 

 lord county. May v Of the 100 cars 

 tested. "^9 were in sate operatinu condi- 

 tion and 41 were rejected as bein^ un- 

 safe to operate. As the Safety Lane 

 traveled, making one and two-day stops 

 in lord. McLean, C hampaiyn, Douglas, 

 Coles, Moultrie and Shelby counties, it 

 became more evident that the condition 

 of cars in rural areas has improved since 

 last year. 



The first twelve days of operation of 

 the ec|uipment showed that '^-i per cent 

 of the cars were "road-worthy ' and that 

 -46 per cent of them were not to be 

 trusted. Last year, durini; the tirst twehe 

 days, only V) per cent of the cars tcsleil 

 were OK ed and 61 were outlawed. 



Why the difference? >Xell. for one 

 thini; there are more new cars in the 

 country now than at this time last year. 



Driving vs. Drinking

 observes but, further, to support the ar- 

 restint; otiicer at the subsecjuent trial. 



Other states have lont; since discovered 

 that this situation, in common with many 

 others in the tratfic mix-up. can best be 

 handled by a standarel drivers license law 

 which (1) rec]uires that all new drivers 

 pass a driving e.\amination before they 

 are permitted to use the roads; (J) that 

 a record be kept of all tratfic law viola- 

 tions committed by any tiriver; and (s) 

 make possible the revocation of the li- 

 cense of any one who is tonvictcil of 

 operating a vehicle while he is intoxi- 

 cated. 



.•\t the last annual meetint; of the 

 I A A. the Board of Delegates went on rec- 

 ord as supporting a drivers' license law. 



1 here is every reason to believe our 

 "drinking and driving menace will get 

 worse before it gets better and will ne\er 

 improve until adecjuate legislation has 

 been passed to enable conscientious law 

 entorcemcnt agencies to police the drunk- 

 en and otherwise criminal drivers otf the 

 highways.

It's On the Way 



But that .done does not account tor all 

 the improvement. Many car owners have 

 found that it pays to drive a car they 

 can trust - - one that will stop when the 

 brakes are apj^lied. Its good business, 

 lack Satorius. the genial Cass county 

 Schoolmaster who operates the Safety 

 Lane, likes his job because he feels that 

 he is helping auto owners to make driv- 

 ing in Illinois safe. He urges owners of 

 rejected cars to have the necessary re- 

 pairs made for their own safety. Many 

 of the owners, jack says, have their 

 brakes fixetl or their head lamps adjusted 



and put their autos through the Lane a 

 second time to get a final OK. 



Have Your Auto Tested 



Running a car with faulty brakes is 

 like rushing up behind a spiriteii horse 

 without speaking to him, it is full of 

 thrills and surprises but it isn't safe. To 

 be on the safe side, have your auto tested 

 on the lAA Safety Lane. It will make a 

 stand near your liome this summer and 

 you are invited to use it. ^'ou and your 

 family may live longer if you do. It 

 will be set up in the following towns in 

 June:
