Complaints have been heard of the ones who are guil ty and drive cars with all cau- t.cn and motor vehicle laws thrown to the winds, of a re vival of a very serious and dan gerous practice of playing hide and seek tin cars after dark, of course driving like the wind, with lights out (part of the time. at least while the chase is hot, tney disregard speed lim ii and ignore stop signs. This is not only dangerous but just plain stupid, and is rapidly be coming a nuisance to those who can do with a little less of the nair-raising antics that young sters can think up to do for that "last minute before I go home" thrill. Several years previous it was the practice to do the same thing with bicy cles, but apparently that is too Laff of the Week v ' ' - r ' AND IF YOU GET THIRSTY DURING THE NIGHT, JUST TURN THIS."

A good stiff fine and a removal ; of licenses, or paroled to their j parents would help curb this j silly practice and would per haps bring to the youngster's attention that life isn't all noise and merrymaking. Some of them seem to think that un less the car is back-firing to the limit it doesn't seem to be run ning at all. Unless these things are brought to the attention of the parents and they do some thing about it, it may very easi ly become a very serious and too dangerous a matter.
