The Prospector In Last Chance Gulch By Del Leeson What does the term "overdriving" mean? Col.

Charles Ij. Sheridan, suierrisor of the Montana hlghwny patrol, used it Wednesday in announcing that (lie patrol would "crack down" with regard to those individuals who wander over the venter line, pass improperly on and do other things they shouldn't do. The highway patrol chief said there were a good many people who "overdrove" their automobiles--ami by that he means they're just not good enough drivers to lo some of the things other' drivers can do. Anything that concerns safety is your business and with that in mind vie took a look yesterday at the highway patrol records to get nil idea of what the chief had in mind. Those records produce some startling figures.

For the fiist six montiis or the year 2,187 drivers were involved in accidents in Montana. Of these drivers only 20 had any physical defect which might have been a contributing cause to the accident. True, there were 230 drivers upon whose breaths lingeied the smell of liquor but that stil! leaves approximately 1,900 who were cold sober. Of the cars involved only 80 were found to be defective in any vay and more than half of them were less than two years old. More than half these accidents occurred on straight, level roads on clear days.

So, if you'll study these figures you'll find three alibis which you may have thought of in connection with accidents are knocked right out from under you: The majority of accidents are not caused by drunkenness; they aie not caused by old, defective cars; they are not caused on bad roads. Now here's another significant fuct. Of the total of 2,187 accidents, 1,251 of the drivers involved were in accidents within 25 miles of their homes. What these figures actually say, jou see, are that the people who nre involved in accidents are you and I as we drive over average roads under average conditions close to our homes. Looking at those figures you can't say, "Well, It's a drunk guy driving an old cat on a bad that causes trouble." The figures say that we cause trouble.

And why? Accidents don't happen -they're caused. What causes them? One big factor is that's the easiest thing tor us to eliminate. "Overdriving" is simply the failure of a driver to match his own le- flexes, vision and peiceptiou to the speed of his car. Yet, if any one of us would but take the trouble to do so it wouldn't be dilficult for us to judge pretty well what we can and can't do when ii comes to driving. Our trouble is we're all better than we think we are.

Our reflexes are all diflerent and therefoie the safe driving speeds for all of us are lelatively different. Ah Jenkins could probably drive safely at 100 miles an hcur on our highways--on the same highways it's not safe for you to drive at 60 If your reflexes were as good as his you'd probably be in the racing business, too. "Never drive faster than you can stop in the assuied clear distance ahead" is one rule of safety which, if followed by everyone, would reduce accidents probably 90 per cent. But the assured clear distance within which can stop varies for each one of us--it varies because of vision and because of the length of time it takes your brain to transmit a message to tep on the brake and the length of time it takes you to press down on that brake. Reflexes.

Yet few of us know what we can do when the chips aie down and fast lefleS action is necessaiy. It's one of the big accident factors today. Automobiles a pretty much the Mime and so nre the roads. The variable in the equation is on. hat ou can do and you can keep out of trouble.

It's when you're getting bejond jour depth that you stray the center line, cut tlie curves, pass over the solid Hne. That's "overdriving" and it spells trouble. Eliminating it is the current aim of the highway patrol. Maybe you'd better check up on yourself. Retired Professor Takes Movies Of State Capitols Guests ot Prof.

License Revoked; Store Closed By Liquor Board The Montana liquor control board yesteiday revoked a retail beer license held by a vendor in Rosebud county and announced the state liquor store at Gallatin Gateway will be closed this month.
