VICTIM TO BLAME
. IN MANY ACCIDENTS
Experienced Motorist Points
Out carelessneSS of PedeS-
trianS. .
By HARRY WARD.

Several motorists the other day were
discussing the many things with which
motorist has to contend while
driving his car. One of them touched
upon the subject OF the pedestrians
duty and what ne said is of vital in
terest not only to automobile drivers
but to pedestrians ns well.
1T has been my experience in op-
Grating motor car for the past SIX
years on various roads that If the foot
passenger would exercise one-half OF
the precaution that Is expected from
the driver of the automobile there
would be far fewer accidents, which are
usually blamed on the driver of the
automobile" he said.
1t has always been my understand
ing that-the roadway. was for the use
of vehicles. either horse-drawn or mo-
tor propelled and that the sidewalks
were for the use of the foot passenger.
I have never to my recollection seen
any vehicle encroach upon the rights
of the foot passenger using the side
walks. On the other hand the foot
passenger does use the roadway, SEEM
driver OF the automobile or wagon
should be the one to take all the pre-
caution to prevent accident, and should
an accident happen the driver of the
vehicle seems usually the one to whom
the blame is attached.
while do maintain that the driver
Of the automobile should use extra pre-
caution at all crossings and in passing
trolley cars taking on or dischaTging
tcot passenger should use some precau-
ton at other points to avoid mishaps,
which are usually as much his fault as
that Of the driver of the automobile"

MOTORISTS WAR ON
MAN|ACS OF SPEED
Reckless Drivers Do Great
Harm to Industry, Says Los
Angeles Dealer.

Curbing Of the speed maniac is one Of
the things in which every man who sells
automobiles Is interested. It is a rec
ognized fact that more harm has been
done to the motor car industry by reck-
less driving and speeding than any one
other thing. -
Washington dealers received with in
terest the news that thirty-two mem
bers Of the automobile dealers asso-
citation in Los Angeles, Cal, have been
appointed special policemen to deal with
violations Of the speed ordinance. These
deputies viii serve without pay and
will pledge themselves to take the time
to go into court and prosecute a driver
when an arrest Is made.
I'VE must stop this reckless driving,
for the good Of the automobile busi-
ness" said the dealer responsible for
the appointment of the special police
men. Members Of the association who
are appointed as special policemen
probably will act in pairs, two of them
watching the speedometer as they fol-
low some speeder. II they find he Is
exceeding the limit they will arrest
him, and their testimony will be pretty
near conclusive.
THE police department is unable to
handle this problem of speeding prop
erly. The dealers know perfectly well
who the chronic offenders are; they see
them every day"

EASY FOR WOMEN
TO DRIVE BIG CARS

''fn the early days of the automo-
bile 1t was an unusual sight to see a
woman at the wheel driving a big tour
ing car, but today there are many wom-
en- who enjoy driving and have hecorne
ardent motorists, even to driving big
cars in heavy traffic of the UIg -IC.es.
says r. c. Smith, president of the Over
nd-Washington Motor Company.
Some years ago a woman drove her
car unaided from New York to San
Francisco, Drawing the hardships of the
drive across the desert wastes OF the
far West.
She attracted a great deal of atten-
tion and people flocked to the roadside
as she drove through the rural districts
and disorganized traffic in the cities
but today this is not unusual. and it
would take q regiment of women driv-
ing cars to attract such attention.
'The main reason for the increase of
women who drive their own cars Is the
attention the manufacturers have given
to the elimination Of the Objectionable
mechanical features of car operation
from the woman's standpoint.
