Have they lost that brotherIy regard

I'm a measure" remarked one Of the
oid-timers of one-cylinder days, "this

veteran remarked:
I'm the old days, when the cars were
in more or less of an experimental
stage. and before the country was auto
mobile broke all motorists were broth
ers. They fiocked together for mutual
break down? Soon came there a brother
motorist with advice, spare parts and
tools to help in the repair work. Did
one fall afoul of backwoods legal lights
and their automobile traps? He was i'm
mediately rescued. While as for the
common courtesies Of the road, what
ever their shortcomings In regard to
pedestrians and horse-drawn vehicles,
motorists were almost invariably polite
to each other.
Pedestrians made them so. They

The modern generation of motorists.
Lack of Kindred Feeling.
There is no kindred feeling felt be-
tween motorists today" he moaned.
with better cars and better conditions

sympathy that used to unite us. Time
was when all were the best of friends
on sight. ready to help each other IN
any way il necessary. Now we aren't
even decentfy polite to each other. but

by that brotherly feeling between mo-
torists that existed only few years
ago .--,
this veterans plant. That fellow-feel-
ing which springs up between those
suffering the same adversities fails to
develop between people when every
thing is going smoothly. and when this
feeling is absent people sometimes ne
glect those little courtesies and consid-
erations which go 50 far toward
smoothing the pathway.
Careless Drivers Menace.
1t seems that motorists now are Civ
inf each other more cause for complaint
than they used to do. Although. of
course, a great majority of drivers are
skilled and considerate. there are
enough careless. thoughtless or igno-
rant drivers to make things unpleasant
both for their own ilk and for other
road users. 1t used to be that all other
kinds Of road users had a blood feud
with the motorists. and the road hog"
was some driver of horse vehicle who
refused to yield a motorist his legal
share Of the road. On the other hand.
motorists accorded each other their full
share of the driving space.
Now. apparently. it is the motorist
who is playing road hog. Selfishness
Is the chief cause in many cases, but
inexperience and inefficiency as a
driver prevail in many more cases.
