HARE & TORTOISE
THE FUTILITY OF SPEEDING
At least the hare, in the fable of the race with the tortoise, did not have to stop for traffic lights .or ho might have been beaten worse' than he was. notes the “Christian Science Monitor. Two business men in Hartford recently staged a test run to show that a 30-mile speed limit would be no hardship there. One. driving up to 50 miles an hour where ho could, reached the Municipal Building from the city limits only five seconds ahead of the other, who kept his car under 30. Such experiments illustrate the comparative futility of hurry, as any cross-country driver who cruises steadily along at a moderate speed has seen illustrated many times.
