DRIVERS SHOULD
REMEMBER MOTTO
OF SAFETY FIRST
Trouble Begins When Motor
Car Operators Take
Chances at Wheel.

When the president of one Of the big
railroad companies in his New Year
greeting to the thousands of employees
of the corporation. reminded them OF
the most important policy of the rail-
road, which can be summed up in two
words-safety first-the world approved.
1t is to be hoped that these two words.
so easily said. but carrying such a deep
meaning, will impress strongly every
automobile driver in the country. Safe
ty first" embodies the fundamental
principle of the art of automobile driv-
ing. 1t should imply to the motorist
the observance of the proper amount
of caution that he owes to himself as
well as to the consideration due to the
lives. limbs and property of others.
Unless a man is mentally unbalanced
and, therefore. not fit to drive car
he starts out with this principle firmly
fixed in his mind, out man Is prone
to grow careless or thoughtless, and
then trouble often ensues. There Is no
need of haste through heavy traffic
or on slippery streets. II is better to
drive at a slow rate and arrive at ones
destination than to hurry and risk never
getting there.
Many excuse their habit of taking
chances by observing that Life is
short That's true, but there is no
Use making II even shorter by running
risks that a careful man will not take.
and doing things that are likely to re-
suit in an accident to car. its occupants.
or others. A motorist owes a duty Of
caution both to himself and to others.
for. to a great extent, in his own hands
lies the safety of himself and others.
The get there" spirit Is one to be ad-
mired. 1t is the American spirit that
has had so much to do In the progress
of civilizatio but it may be overdone.
The Potomac Motor Car Company has
taken possession Of its new salesroom

Automobile Trucks
Popular in Capital

1t Is estimated that there are nearly
co automobile trucks and delivery
wagons in use In this city, while the
license registrations show 1875 horse
vehicles. Since last July 16s gasolene
trucks and twenty-five electric trucks
have been sold. II is estimated that
$50 motor trucks of all kinds were sold
In Washington during 1912. The. exact
number of trucks sold In 1911 cannot be
ascertained, but IL ID stated by the
license clerk that 90 per cent Of all the
licenses issued for motor trucks have
been issued during the year just closed.

Just the Thing for Electrics!

Economy and convenience are the argu-
ments which induced you to buy an electric.
But your economy is fairy tale, and the
convenience of operating an electric is a
myth, If you are constantly bothered with
tire troubles.
The batteries alone in an electric are
heavy enough to impose terrific strain on
tires without the rest OF the car. Are you
letting pneumatic tires carry the burden, or
have you thought Of solid tire equipment?
On the one hand, you have constant pune
lures, blow-outs, and rim-cuts, on the other
you have incessant and permanent injury to
the working parts of your car, because Of
the inability of solid treads to absorb jolts
and Jars.
Adopt the golden mean-USE AIREASE!
Tubes filled with this wonderful tire filler
will outiive your car and supply the easiest
riding you ever experienced while they last.
The use of AIREASE is the only real tire
economy ever offered to motorists. AIREASE
Is a marvel of composition and manu-
facture. Its resiliency cannot escape
from the tube or leak out, and it will
not alter its character in many
years of service :.
