ALCOHOL AND MOTORS.
To the Editor.
Sir, —I read with appreciation the excellent letter by your correspondent “Safety First.” The lady, after referring to the humiliating examination she was subjected to, writes as follows: “Not one question was asked concerning my tendency to be suddenly overcome by thirst; nor my method of quenching that thirst; nor of the strength or quantity of liquid considered essential to ward off the attack.” “Safety First” rightly contends that “no one should be granted a license unless he makes a solemn declaration to refrain from indulgence in alcohol while in charge of a car. Surely the creature biped can do without liquor on the days he drives his car; then if he cannot he should not be allowed to drive, or he should be muzzled tight.—l am, etc., NEARLY HIT.
