GOOD SAMARITAN MOTORISTS.
New York Auto Owners Organize 70
Help Distressed.

The difficulty experienced by motor
lists in obtaining help or assistance on
the road. when in trouble, is something
that has manifested itself many times
With view to assisting motorists
meeting with misfortunes on the road
an organization known as The Good
Samaritan Help League Of Motorists"
has been formed in New York city
There are numerous occasions when
motarist has hesitated about stop
ping other motorists on the road. and
also occasions when passing motorists
didn't know when help was needed. To
overcome these obstacles members of
the organization will display a signal
when In need of assistance of any
kind. and passing motorists who see
the banner are expected to render what
help they can. In this way. it Is felt
the motoring fraternity will be bound
into one great brotherhood, pled Red
for mutual help.
Although the league has been but re-
Gently formed, 1t is said that II prom-
ises to become of national importance.
having already received the indorse-
ment and approval Of many automo-
bile and motor clubs throughout the
country as worthy Of every motorists
support. The headquarters Of the
league is located in New York city.
The officers are: President, DR.. George
A. Englert; vice president, Philfp 7.
Knauss, and secretary treasurer, r. A.

BACK FROM SOUTHLAND.
J. ]. Haas Tells of Road Conditions
in Florida.

j. j. Haas, local Firestone manager,
has returned from a months stay at
Palm Beach and Miami, Fla
Motorists will be interested to hear
that a brick road with concrete curb
ing, sufficiently wide for single traffic,
is actually being laid between Jack
sonville and st. Augustine" said Mr..
Haas. Below this point to Miami the
roads can be classcd as good sand
roads, but tourists are assured in a
very short time of an excellent road
from Jacksonville to Miami This is
to be portion of the Quebec-Miami
road, enabling eastern tourists to
motor from cities along the Atlantic
seaboard to Florida without any road
difficulties.
The Washington to Richmond por-
ton of this road will probably be the
last part finished, as the problems in
Virginia seem more difficult to over
come than elsewhere. Many tourists
ship their cars by boat direct to Jack
sonville. I noted a large percentage OF
expensive cars in Florida not only Of
tourists, but Of people residing there.
Miami, a small city comparatively,
boasts of 800 cars, and is very pros
porous"
Mr.. Haas thoroughly enjoyed his
southern trip and after spending a few
days here left for the factory at Akron,
Ohio, to be gone several days

OWNERS DANGER PERIOD
IS DURING FIRST MONTH
New Purchasers Should Exercise
Greatest Caution Until Automo-
bile Is Mastered.

Every automobile owner has I, dam
gerous period in his motoring career. and
it is usually during the first month of
ownership said NJ. T. Pollock, local
Oakland and Oldsmobile distributor, the
other day.
Il have often wondered why this is.
but it is a fact that nearly all of the ac-
| cidents that befall a driver take place
during the initial month This is prob
ably due to the fact that beginners are
over-anxious to learn how to drive, and
| in their excitement usually forget to act
| quickly enough when occasion requires.
| and as result something happens. The
! best advice ] can give to a new driver is
! do not lose your head and do not drive
too fast at the beginning.
why is it3ome beginners find that the
widest doors are not wide enough for
| their cars and insist entering the
! garage via a thick brick wall2 This
common accident usually is the result of
going too fast. Keep COOL Watch your
car. Drive very slowly until you under
stand the functions of each lever and
| button and you can avoid embarrassing
miXups.
| Beginners should be careful during the
first month and they will not only avoid
accidents. but the proper care of the car
at this time will undoubtedly result in
longer life to the machine
| Owners must not neglect the care of
the car. The most important thing is
that of fabrication Frequently we hear
of new owners. in their absentmindedness
forgetting to supply oil to the motor with
the result that the bearings burn out and
other damage is done Remember that it
is during this period that you are work
ing in your car and special attention
should be paid to all of the working
parts

Meet With Accident.

Coming over a level stretch of con-
crete road from Northeast. they as
cended a steep grade to d bridge over
the railroad, at a fair rate of speed,
only to discover that the road at the
opposite end of the bridge turned
sharply to the right and down grade
from the center of the bridge. Kauff
man was unable to make the turn and
before his brake could stop his motor
cycle he had side-swiped the fence.
Lettle was hurled over the fence and
rolled down a steep embankment. kauff-
man was also pitched over the fence but
his foot caught under the gasoline tank
and he was held suspended by
his knee over the top of the fence.
His leg was badly wrenched from the
ankle to the knee and he will be laid
up for a couple of weeks, according
to reports Yesterday. Lettle got off with
a few bruises on the left leg where it
came in contact with the fence as he
went over it. They managed to COM
plete the run. although suffering con-
siderably. They say that a farmer re-
siding in the vicinity of the bridge
reported that three automobiles had
gone down the embankment at this
place since this stretch of road was
completed.

MOTOR CYCLISTS HURT
WHILE MAKING TRIP
Kaufman and Tettle Find Good
Roads To and From
Philadelphia.

Will H. Kaufman and Neal Lettle,
who returned several days ago from
week lend motor cycle trip TO 1'hlla-
delphia and return, tell of the road
conditions and of an unexpected eS-
perience which they had on tn: return
trip. They motored to the Quaker city
via the Baltimore Washington boule-
ward to Catonsville. Ellicott City, West
Friendship. Westminster, Littlestown.
Hanover, York, Columbia. Coatesville
and Bryn Mawr. The return trip was
via the new road through Darby. Ches-
ter, Wilmington Del; Newark, North
east. Havre de Grace, Belair and Bal
timore.
They report the road while going
was very good, except between West
minister and Hanover, where the pike is
badly cut up. On the return trip the
only bad stretch encountered was
about mile and half in length. be-
tween Baltimore and Belair. where
litigation has held up the completion
of the new state road. They ex-
pressed surprise at finding the roads
in such good shape at this, season of
the year. They warn motorists Of a
dangerous curve at a bridge two and
a quarter miles this side of Northeast.

railroad. 1t was where a detour was

FATE'S VENGEANCE

a USTRIA, when she provoked the
N world war that is now devas-
4 = tating all Europe, might have
been less precipitate in her ac-
tions had her rulers been able to look
less than a year into the future. Fate
in this instance is more kindly dis
posed than is often the case, since it
is Austria that is to suffer most Tor
her crime against civilization. With
Italy clamoring on one side and the
car knocking at her back door, the
plight of that nation is sufficient to
make her royal family reminiscently
repentful.
The capture of Przemysl and the
roar of allied cannon along the Dar-
danelles must send shivers along the
Austrian backbone. for decisive de-
at in either direction will send even
tually the hordes OF the Car rushing
into the great plains of Hungary, if.
indeed, they are not there already.
And such a condition must spell
nothing less than ruin for Austria. As
one writer points out. Hungary. swept
by Cossack hordes. will not long con-
sent to fight at home the battle for
Germany which the Kaiser's hosts still
carry on in Poland. Belgium and
France. The onrush of Rumanian and
Russian armies, the inevitable incur
sion of Servians from the south-these
will bring Budapest 10 a new and
unmistakable position. In European
history it is doubtful if any battle has
had so grave immediate possibilities
as that of the Carpathians since the
great Napoleon lost Leipzig and all his
allies
Austrian defeat in the present con-
fiict would compel the immediate
withdrawal of Austrian troops from
Russian Poland. Cracow is the gate
TO SiIesia, TO Berlin, not TO Vienna.
The army corps Of Francis Joseph
which are defending German frontiers
behind the Nida and east of Cracow
will be needed on the Thesis and the
Danube if the Car can force the
Dukla gateway TO the Hungarian Plain.
Small pity is expressed for Austria.
She played a reckless, ruthless game
in her dealings with Servia leading UP
10 the present great conflict. She
sowed the wind and, unless all signs
fail, her harvest of the whirlwind is
TO he swift and ruinous.
