A week later. near midnight, Charles

This was a kindly. motherly old man, a
retired corporal Of the House Guards. who.
ever since he had reached the age when
his feeble neck could no longer hold his
shake erect, had been retained about the
palace as a gentleman-in-waiting to the
young prince. For some reason. which
the king. ut any rate. could not fathom,
Corporal Toblach became foolishly fond
Of Charles Edward. The king put 1t down
to spaniel devotion. And SO It was To-
blach that tottered under Charles Ed
wards hand-lugEase when they descended
from tho Rapide at the Caro- st. Lazare.
The prince. a little bewildered. but his
eyes shining behind his spectacles, follow
cd him closely: and while Toblach trans
ferred his impedimenta to porter the
prince drew a long breath and said to

v 1 GIVEN HOW
TO AVOID SKIDDING

".Carelessness and fright are the two
big factors in most bad skidding acct
Dents" said a local dealer yesterday.
when the streets are slippery the best
of driver. will have their troubles TIL
less they use caution.
"And the first rule of caution is to
drive so that sudden application of
brakes will not be necessary at any
time. When the brakes go OH hard
and suddenly, there is going to be an
automobile doing a tango Immediately.
II warn begimers-and some older
drivers, toto approach street cross
ings with the car under control without
the breaks being used. Let the engine
do the braking to slow up for a cross
ing. Then put on the brakes easily. If
the car shows a tendency to swing
around, release the brakes Immediately.
aAnd then here is the one big vital
thing to do: Turn the front wheels in
the direction to which the rear of the
machine is skidding. 1t is instinct to
turn the wheels in the opposite direc-
ton. The result is that the skid is ac-
centuated.
"When driving along the road and
there is trouble on the right side it is
instinct to turn the wheels away from
it. That is the reason the beginner
will Invariably make a skid worse"

MOTOR TRUCK NOT
HARD ON HIGHWAYS

valid arguments arc now being
advanced in various parts of the coun-
try to prove that motor trucks, with
their broad tires, arc not injurious to
improved highways, but are actually
beneficial and assist in their upkeep,"
says the manager of a leading auto
tire company.
Heavy hauling On roads must eth.
er be done by broad-tired motor
much narrower in comparison. The
effect of narrow tired vehicles is
plainly ruinous. The broad, heavy
truck tires. stimulating the action Of
steam rollers, are found to actually
make good roads better, whereas mar
row tires cut and destroy them.
"The agitation noted some time g
against the 8 of motor trucks on
highways in some of the states is
wearing itself, out.
"On the other hand. the motor
truck is now hailed as a means of
solving the railroad situation, by af-
fording cheaper transportion, espec-
tally on short hauls. Motor trucks,
more and more, will enable farmers
to market their produce quickly and
at less expense, e%nlarging their profits
and lowering the cost to consumers,
thus affecting the cost of living in q
decirable way.
"Of course the ideal condition can
arrive until the country has a
thorough system of good roads. For
tunately there has been a great awek-
ening and a demand for better roads
among all classes of American people
in the last few years. No II thing
before the public is nearly so i'm
portant to all the people, as affect
ing their condition of life, as the good
roads movement, now SO generally ap-
parent. :.
legislators are interested. Private
Organizations are working and a con-
.certed movement is we'll Under way.
One result Of this.will be a mammoth
development Of the. motor truck in
dustry: ItAs;sRaNtssble that the horses
for great deal heavy hauling, and
all the public Will share in the bene-
fits that modern5 transportation will
bring" - esss#
