his first drivers examination some
twelve years ago, and therefore felt
himself capable of handling anything
on wheels. cheerfully did, whereat, to
his astonishment, he was promptly re-

Asking what was wrong. he was in
formed that his license read for n

the largest size used in the early days,

pilot 12-horsepower machine. After
much expostulation and demonstra-
tion of his skill Thomas was finally is

HOLDS AUTO DRIVER LIABLE.
Court Rules That Pedestrian Has
Right Of Way at Crossings.

of the Pennsylvania supreme court
holding that a pedestrian has the right
of way at street crossings is being
cited largely as a precedent in accident
suits in other commonwealths. The
lower court ruled that the pedestrian
crossed directly in front of the auto
mobile. and that he. therefore. was to
be considered contributorily negligent.
On appeal Judge Mestrezat. however.
held that the driver of the motor car
when he saw the man on the crossing
should have halted and given the
pedestrian the right of way. By fall
ing to do so, according to the court,
the driver was liable to a civil suit for
damages and also to criminal prosecu-
tion.

SEEK TOBAR SMOKING
AUTOS ON RACE TRACK
Formulation of Some Rule to Be
Function of Authorities
of Sport Soon.

To formulate some rule which will
enable officials Of an automobile race
meeting to cope, on a definite basis
with the smoke nuisance which has
prevailed at virtually all the California
race meetings during the winter will
undoubtedly be the function of the
authorities of the sport at no distant
date
Smoke from the exhaust of racing
automobiles has been long a stencil in
the noses of the spectators and a
source of accident to competitors. IT
arises from the incomplete combustion
Of gasoline and from the surplus of
lubricating oil with which some drivers
insist on drenching the motors of their
cars.
In the early days of the sport this
smoke was accepted as a nuisance
which could not be avoided. That the
time is now ripe for engineers to de-
sign cars which will not smoke or else
the suffer the penalty for inefficient
motors and carburetion is a view which
is taken by many racing authorities
This was, in fact. the stand taken by
the management OF the recent Venice,
Cal, grand prize race. The course al
Venice was only three miles in circuit.
and contained several narrow stretches,
on one or Wn1ch the sTanostdHu iinp
pened to be located. The turns were
sharp in several places. and the danger
from smoke especially great.
Nuisance Barred at Venice.
Acting on the power conferred by the
American Automobile Association rules
for the protection of spectators and the
general safety of contestants, the Ven
ice authorities, backed by Chairman
Kennerdell of the contest board, an
nounced before the race that any auto
mobile reported as smoking. either on
the course or on leaving the pits
should be tagged to a stop and the
crew compelled to drain the crank case
This precaution worked wonderfully In
reducing the amount of smoke on the
