Sight after night, and especially oa Saturdays, one comes acroa> sbockia* examples of broken bottles, constituting * the very gravest danger, not onlv t» I pedestrians but also to motorists as'weiL Upon one occasion T came across a tittt of three breakages in a dark alley, when children were usually running up and down. But, fortunately, at that time they were away at the pictures. 0> another occasion, at a dark corner, ir foot struck against a broken "rigger." | Only the fact that I was wearing a Toy heavy boot eared me from a Terr serious injury. Hie orgy of bottle driririw has proved itself the social curse of tk 40-hour week. But enrelr that doai not mean that the sober, well-behaved members of the community miwt be aaia to pay for the mad tricks of the bottte I bibbers. This evil calls for ctriagot action. HUMANIST.
