Death On The Highways

_« The fearful carnage that is the accompaniment of warfare among the |

belligerent armies on the battlefields of Burope is the subject of shuddering | comment daily among the people of this continent. “Isn't it awful?” “Isn't | it terrible?” are the queries heard as men and women listen to radio reports | of the conflict and’ scan the headlines of the daily newspapers. Yet the slaughter which is taking thousands of lives on the highways!

on this side of the Atlantic, and a growing toll at that, is passed over with- Out comment, or with nothing more. than a shrug of the shoulder. People have become so used to reports of accidents in which two or three are ‘Killed. here and three or four lose their lives there, together with a few more

‘‘njured, that they have not awakened to full realization of the loss of life |}

tn the aggregate caused by. the automobile. ;

Despite the safety campaigns inaugurated by police forces, motor clubs and groups of citizens who have sufficient facts at their command to appre- | ciate the dire peril which attends the motorist when he fares forth on American and Canadian highways. there appears to be no let up in loss of life and limb. On the contrary, recent figures indicate that the menace is; becoming greater year by year and month by month. Already, before the holiday season, when the peak of traffic may be expected, indications are that the grim harvester will take a bigger yield on the highways this year) than in 1939. It is already a matter of record, for instance, that serious road accidents in Ontario in February of this year totalled 1,226 as com- pared with 806 in the corresponding month a year ago, a startling increase | of approximately 50 per cent

Unfortunately there is nothing to indicate that the situation will not become progressively worse as the summer wears towards fall, and insofar as the Canadian highway menace is concerned is likely to be accentuated with the influx of a much larger number of American tourists who are obliged; because of war hazards abroad, to spend their summer vacations} on the roads of this continent

: . Roads Or Drivers?

Very properly the Canadian governments, boards of trade and other organizations are doing their utmost to influence the American tourists to _ turn their wheels in the direction of this country this summer. It is a traffic which should be encouraged for economic reasons as well as in the interests of cementing the growing friendship between the peoples of the two great North American nations. Indeed, freer communication and closer contacts between Canadians and citizens & the United States may go a long way towards amplifying and encouraging the sympathy which the latter feel towards the Allied countries and the principles for which they are fight- ing. But, as has already been intimated, there is an element of danger | which must be avoided, if anything can be done to minimize the risks of the | road in this country.

The difficulty is to know what to do about it. Punishments for care- | lessness and more restrictive legislation do not appear to be the answer to the problem. Even safety first campaigns conducted through various agencies do not seem to be as effective as they might be, although their objective, that of awakening ‘the motorist to the consciousness of his re- sponsibility, is all to the good. Mm

One school of thought interested in the problem has suggested that | much of the blame for loss of life and limb on the. highways should be placed on the highways themselves. These authorities assert, and with) some degree of truth that high speed, high powered and efficient automo- | biles have outstripped the roads on which they are used. In other words, | road designing and road construction is not keeping pace with the rapid

“Harlow!” scoffed the other. “An- other of your moneyed gods!”

“I don't know.” The man shook his head. “He may not be what he seems. In there’—he jerked his head backward — ‘“théy say he's crook to his back teeth! But he doesn’t rob the poor. He takes it in large slabs from the fat men.”

“If that’s so, I've nothing to say. He's on the side of law and order,” said Elk gently. “A man who hands out police stations as Christmas presents can't be wholly bad!”

By the time the train pulled into Plymouth Station, Detective Inspec- tor Elk was perfectly satisfied that there was nothing further to be learnt from the man. He went to the telegraph office and sent a wire to Jim which was short and expressive:

Revolution stuff. Nothing ~ important.

He was on the same train that carried Mr. Ingle to London, but he did not occupy the same compart- ment, except for half an hour after the train flashed through Bath, when he strolled into the carriage and sat down by the man’s side, and appar- ently he was welcome, for Ingle started talking.

To Her Fate

“Have you seen anything of my niece? Does she know about the burglary? I think you told me, but I was so angry that I can’t remem- ber.” And, when Blk had given him the fullest particulars: ‘Harlow! Why did he come? He-met Aileen at Dartmoor, you say?” He frowned and suddenly slapped his knee. “I re- member the fellow. He was sprawl- ing in his car by the side of the road when we came back from the field that day. So that was Harlow! | Does he know Aileen?” he asked sus- piciously.

“They met at Dartmoor; that’s all I know.”

Ingle gave one of his characteris- tic shrugs.

“I suppose he's running after her? She's a pretty sort of girl. With that type of man, money's no object. She's old enough to look after her- self without any assistance.”

So this Utopean left Alleen Rivers to her fate. ;

He had wired from Plymouth ask-

| ing her to call at the flat that night, and she arrived just as he had fin- ished a dinner that he had cooked for himself.

“Yes, I've heard about the bur- glary,” he said, cutting short her question. “They've got nothing that was worth a shilling to them, thank God! Why did you call in the police?”

And he had a shock.

‘Before he could reply, she was gone. He heard the street door slam after her, took up the money and put it back in his case, and he was without regret, for, if the truth be told, Mr. Arthur Ingle, despite the largeness of his political views, was exceedingly mean.

There was a great deal for him to do: old boxes to open and sort, pap- ers and memoranda to retrieve from strange hiding places. The seat of the big settee on which. Aileen had sat so often waiting for the -hired women to finish their work, opened like a lid, and here he had documents, and, in a steel box, passbooks that might not have come to light even if the police had been aware of the flat at the time of his arrest and had made their usual search.

The day began }with a tour of the Royal Canadian | ‘Naval barracks during the period of jmorning prayer and physical jerks. | ‘The enlisted men received training according to the best traditions of the British navy. There is a long “wait- | ine list” we were informed. Taken across the bay on a vessel of the Fishermen’s Reserve, rows upon rows of concrete buildings were inspected where ammunition, oil and other sup- plies were stored for future and im- mediate use. There was nothing really spectacular about these ‘bu'ldings ex- cept that they held high explosives of various kinds and the utmost pre- cautions were taken in order that they would not be blown up. Guards patrol every foot of ‘the grounds night and day. Each man working in the estab. lishment is searched daily and have to conform to other strict regulations in regard to clothing, etc. It was rather a rebief to get away from this potential voleano, which from the out- side looked rather innocent.

The afternoon continued with in- spection of other store rooms, boom defences, refitting shops and govern- ment dockyards. Certain defences against submarines were demonstrated and altogether it was seen that all the details for repair‘ng ships and being

j}ready for any emergency were wel! taken care of. SHIPBUILDING
