It may not be worth their while (doing so, however friend­ ly may be the motive that prompts this action. It is Uncle Barn's busi­ ness to make his own laws, just as It is his business to enforce or not to enforce the laws he puts on his statute books. Advice usually hurts both him that gives and him Who. takes. There can be no harm, Jiowever, in pointing out that Unple/Sam’s sap­ ors indicate the result/df playing a selfish hand in tariff-making.

There is no room for doubt regarding the importance of their doing so. 'Only last week a woman lost her life through the non-observance of this practice. Again and again drivers of ordinary cars are held up because the truck driver hogs the road. Truck •drivers using the pavements are not the only sinners in this particular.
