cal is not so certain as it implies as- sumption that the accidents are due. to bad driving and that they would not have happened had the vehicle concerned been in the hands of good drivers ptions that are not supported by the available facts, as experience has shown that reckless driving is in the main the fault of the men possessing the highest skill but the least self-control and considera- ton, who think they can afford to take risks, confident in their unusual powers and who do not fear to incur dangers which the ordinary man would not dare to risk.
 All fatal accidents are followed by coroner's inQuests, and these officials are not likely to be biased in favor of motor vehicles and their drivers. Yet. in what percentage of cases is the verdict such as to lay serious blame on the drivers?
 Probably the most common verdict is sssdeath due to accident" or some equivalent phrase, unless the occur renee is that kind that can be classed as purely accidental, unavoidable, or that the victim was contributing in some degree at least to his own mis- fortune.
 On this view it might be argued that it is not the examination of the dri- yer that is wanted so much as exam nation of the pedestrians who before being allowed to venture on the crowded streets should be required to produce a, certificate that they are able to take reasonable care Of them selves.
 But even if the assumption that bad driving is responsible for the ac- cidents be allowed to pass, 1t is not obvious that examination would pro- vide an effective remedy. Bad driv- ing is an expression that bears two different meanings It may mean |, XI- z-ss-- nipulation of his car and ignorant of the road, or that while skillfu1 in a technical sense. he is careless, incon-9 siderate or reckless.
 Bad driving in the first sense is no doubt susceptible of tests by exam ination. It would take the examiner only a few minutes or even seconds to discover that a candidate was ignor- ant of the art of managing a car or that he did not know on which side of the road he should drive.
 But examinations can be of little avail in detecting bad driving of the; second kind, which is after all more likely to- lead to accidents than tho haltfng efforts of the nervous driver.
 While under the eye of the exanin- ing authority all candidates. what ever their innate vices, would be on
 SBut as soon as the examination was over and certiacate of fitness obtain ed there would be nothing to prevent bad drivers of all varieties from throwing off their masks and acting according to their true natures Ex- aminations, in short cannot show more than that the man knows the right; 1t cannot insure that Knowing what is right he will not do what is wrong.
 The state, on the other hand, should have great difficulty in setting up such examination machinery. which would necessarily be expensive in character Motor cars nowadays are very simple, compared with the vehicles of ten years ago, and any one with ordinary intelligence can master the mecIlarf- teal mana cement Of a motor car in a very short time.

HOW TO BUY A
 USED AUTOMOBILE

I. Edward Roskam, one of the pio- neers in the used Automobile busi- ness, has prepared list of directions for the benefit of those about to pur- kam states:
 'The constantly increasing demand for used cars since 1900, especially those of high grade make encourages me to believe that this branch of the automobile business will soon out strip the sales record of new high grade cars
 Far sighted buyers men who have l owned cars since the pioneer days, ap- precitte the wisdom of purchasing a high grade car that has had intellf- gent use at the hands of a former at a great reduction from the orig inal purchase price.
 sIt will no doubt surprise the auto mobile buying public to learn that used cars are being exported in large numbers to the Far East
 In. the early years the automobile buying public were very suspicious of used cars, but to-day used car con cern with reputation of handling high grade cars has very little trouble convincing prospective purchasers l that they can. safely invest in 3. used automobiIe.
 Tn former years Irresponsible deal CTS would overhaul a car with the following class of work:
 When tightening up bearings they would use sheet tin for shinming, which. would last about 50 miles. af- ter which mileage the motor would be just as noisy. and would no doubt kcause more damage than without shims on account of the oil grooves being clogged.
 In the case of a cracked cylinder they would use 'srnooth-on,', prep 1 7ff911 i7I-I Ta77& does not last long,
 Wheel bearings would be tighten ed by using sheet iron washers. Timing gears would be quieted by using graphite, grease, etc, which would very often run into the crank time burning out bearings, etc., and causing serious damage.
 Unless abused, a late model car l can be easily repaired and put in first class condition, providing nothing has l been damaged or broken If the pur- ! chaser of a used automobile will take the car in question for a demonstra- ton, and observe the following work fngs, he can be very nearly satisfied | as to the condition of the car:
 First, let the demonstrator put tIfe car in first speed, run it for a, short distance. hear how it sounds. then shift to second speed, see how second speed acts, then third, notice if third speed is quiet or noisy, then fourth (which is generally direct), notice how quiet that is and whether it Ahas any power running on fourth.
 Notice whether there is any play in the driving shaft, by slowing down and throwing in clutch.
 Notice if motor knocks when slow ing down, and advancing on high gear.
 ftAfter above tests have been made, take car to a grade, stop at the foot of the hill and repeat tests along lines described above.
 ''It is not essentiaksto oAtake a heavy grade on high If it does the work on second or third speed without an effort you can very nearly determine the capabilities of the car in aues-

SIMPLICITY FIRST
IN AUrOdOBIFEs.

Simplicity f1rst,'' states George Weidely, the veteran automobile de- signer, simplicity is the prime nec- esstty in automobile engine construc- ton today. Consider the thousands and thousands of people who haven't t the mechanical engenuity to run a sewing machine, who have suddenly been plunged into the mechanics of a machine practically unknown twenty years ago, and since simplicity also adds. not only to the understandatbili- ty of the machines, but also lends to its eff1ciency, it is easy to see why the trend of automobile engine design to- day is away from the cumbersome s.rr1I1ltipIicity of party machine and toward the engine of a few partss sim plicity Of action and consequent ehi- ciency.
