URGES ROAD RULES .~.
ON FAIR AUTOISTS
Capitals Women Motorists Warned Against Unsafe Methods Of
Driving Their Cars About the City's
Streets.

THE rules of the road are the basis
of safety in driving, and women should
learn to observe them. not only be-
cause they are law, but for their own
safety"
In these words one of the best-posted
men in the electric automobile business
in Washington points out how the
many women drivers in this city can
drive their cars. not only with security
to themselves, but also to the pedestrian
and -vehicular traffic.
Many women in the early days of the
electric had habit of Forgetting 10
shut OFF the power and would think only
of the brake. The result of setting the
brakes with the power on can be ina
gined, and the wear and tear on the
car as well. This is gotten around now
adays by making the connections auto
matte, So that when the brake is pat
on the current Is automatically switched
off. This saves the machine. the bat
teries and the driver.
But a small per cent OF drivers really
keen the rules of the road. Many Of them
do not know that the slower moving
vehicles must keep to the curb, or If
they know 1t ignore the rule, for L large
of the electric cars driven
by women on the boulevards keep pret-
ty close to the crown of the road. IL
the driver of another car wishes to go
faster and pass the vehicle he must take
a chance on going on the wrong side
of the Gar in passing. If. while the car
is passing, the woman takes notion to

REFINEMENT IS GOAL
OF MOTOR PROGRESS
Many Improvements Recently
Made in Mechanical Details
and Equipment.

That automobile. progress has been.
during the last two years, along the
line Of detailed refinement. rather
than in any sweeping revolution of
design is a fact which has been COM
mented upon by every thoughtful OBJ
server.
Manufacturers have, in general,
beeh giving more for the money
better upholstery, more complete
equipment, better finish, more con-
venient control. more harmonious
lines. The addition Of reliable, built
in electrical starting and lighting
systems Is another detail which has
been a recent development in the
quality field.
That the cars have been steadily
improving in mechanical detail is
similarly true. though this fact IL
naturally appreciated more by active
motorists than by the person whose
interest Is Of the prospective sort.
Greater attention Is being given to
the Incorporation Of adjustable roller
bearings in hubs and transmission;
the long-stroke. small-bore motors
like those Of the Studebaker -four"
and six" models have been a long
step toward fuel economy and in
creased power; cooling problems have
been so successfully attacked that no
correctly adjusted motor should ever
become unduly hot.
Many late improvements have been
made as the result Of Investigations
by skilled metallurgists who have. by

the strength of materials. Sprins
troubles. for instance, should be vir-
tually unknown in any current OF
recent models. yet the veteran mo-
torist found them often present ane
took them as q matter Of course.

ment II is q, fact Of general comment
that demand for spring replacement.
is virtually negligible. Credit is. OF
course. due the spring plant which IL
a part Of the Studebaker manufac.
ture, this plant features a series OF
tanks. filled with secret-formula brine
into which each spring is automatfca1-
ly dipped while still hot.
This brine has virtually doubled thS
strength and endurance of the auto
mobile spring manufacture along con
ventional lines. The ingredients Of the
bath were determined after long ano
laborious experiment. by consulting
engineers and chemists, who, by its
means, have added one more detail Il
the improvement which each Stude-
baker car places at the disposal OF its
owner.

A. F. M. to Campaign
For More Members

Washington motorcyclists learned to-
day that nationwide campaign for
members will soon be launched by the
Federation Of American Motorcycles.
A hundred or more motorcyclists. fere
are already allied with the federation.
TIE federation has made rapid strides
during the past few years. but the in
crease in the use Of motorcycles has
been even greater in proportion than
the increase in the F. A. M. member
ship. s--'--
Those interested in the sport are an
ticipating that 1914 will be the biggest
year in motorcycle history. :
In order to keep abreast Of ether
motorcycle activities, the F. A. NJ. Is

ANTtSK|D TIRES AS.
FACTORS OF SAFETY
Public Service Vehicles Use
Them Largely Throughout
United States.

Tho vital part played by the anti-skid
tire az a factor tending to security in
the operation and use of the motor car
is nowhere better illustrated than In
its adopticn all over the country on
motor vehicles in the public service
Jrst 90 what extent anti-skid tires are
used in this respect IS shown by an M
vcstigation of the United states IRE
Company.
This concern maintains service
branches in all the big cities oil the
United States, including Wash:nStoh'
and recently word was sent to t9e
branch managers to forward detalis
and pictures Of some particular equip
ment in their respective territories.
The dat. sent in was of a SURPRISING
and extremely interesting character az
il covered practically every type or
motor vehicle used in the transportation
of man and merchandise.
The photographs showing the tre
equipment on ambulances police patrols
and fire apparatus were probably rne
strongest endorsement OF the anti-sk'd.
Nobby- -Treads are shown on the wneeis
of all of them. !.
The lesson to he learned from this is
obvious. for no sort Of vehicle is sub
iected to greater risk of accident than
the types which these public service
cars represent.
At a signal each must be instantly on
its way az tremendous speed no matter
what condition the streets are in. 1t
may be to save a life, to protect prop
erty or prevent riot. The necessity of
each particular case makes it ir'pera-
tive to reach the destination surely and
quickly. BY way Of precaution all
chance of accident must be eliminated
beforehand.
Many chiefs Of fire departments are
using "Nobby treads' on fast rum
abouts, as does the police patrol Of the
police, District of Column.
bia. and many other points with auto
mobile patrol equipment. Likewise the

Hospital and the United States Soldiers

AND THEY STAYED AWAY.

Grand Junction Sentinel.
Again has it been proven that a
primary election in Colorado is very
largely farce.
1t is a farce because just about 81
per cent of the voters take the erou-
BILE to go to the polls and register
their preferences.
We know a lot Of people who have
howled for years for primary cleo
tion law, just like they have howled
for other reforms and fads in the
governmental line, and then, after
they got the primary law they don't
take the trouble to vote.
Grand Junction has big share of
these kind of people for the move
ment to get primary election law
in Colorado was mighty popular here
1t is safe to wager that not half of
those local people who were so very
very anxious to get primary cleo
zion law voted. Yes, the primary elec-
ton is joke.
