ing. II the car persists in skidding,
the way to take up this is to turn the
is inclined to skid. This brings the
front of the car in the same direction
as the rear wheels and the latter cannot
get around in front The brakes should
be adjusted to take hold evenly and IN
slowing up it is well to close the throt-
tie and retard the spark entirely, and
then, if it is necessary to use the brake,
to do so without releasing the clutch.
By this means the engine will be work
ing against the momentum, and SLOW
down in a gradual way, and it also Will
keep just enough Roadway to prevent
the brake from locking the rear wheels.
Trouble on Wet Asphalt. I
81 have had trouble on wet asphalt
where have had to slow up for CROSS
ing. from accelerating sharply to pick
up the speed of the car. The sudden
shock of shutting off the gas quickly
also helps to make the car skid. The
natural relief for all this tendency to-
skid. in spite of all precautions taken,
is to use chains. Although non-skid
tires will help. non-skid chains are
about the only thing that will give
safety, and they are a real necessity
where there is danger of skidding, par
ticularly in crowded streets. The driver
should not drive his car with smooth
tread tires on wet asphalt at any time
or upon any other slippery surface
without non-skid chains However, they
do wear tires exceedingly and should
not be used except when needed. In
other words, a man should not be too
lazy to put them on when they are
needed, nor too lazy to take them off
again when conditions warrant it.
The chains should have sufficient
number of cross links to make sure
that the wheel does not stop on the tire
surface between the links and skid as
badly though no chains were used.
The chains should not be adjusted too
on the tire, but should be left
free enough to creep and wear the tire
evenly. If too tight they will wear the
tire in grooves under the cross links.
THE driver who wishes to avoid per-
sonal annoyance and annoyance to
everybody within hearing distance will
take pains to see that the cross links |
are never so loose that they hit the mud
nor have broken ends which do
the same thing. A short piece of an
nealed iron wire will serve to fasten |
broken cross links to the side chains |
and repair links can be put on in a |
time.
Certainly safety, if not comfort, !
would suggest that the driver of a car |
should pay attention to the little things
which, if neglected, might result in ac-
cident, injury or loss Of life

CAI4EXICO CLIMATE
AGREES WITH LANGDON

In letter recently received from
Calexico by J. F. Boiler, director of
athletics at the State College of
Washington, Alfred Langdon, star
center on the w. s. G. football team
OF last year, writes that he will soon
be free from military duties, and
hopes to be in Pullman after Labor
Day, railroad conditions permitting.
Langdon is the successor of the
eredoubtable Shorty" Harter as the
pivot man of the w. S. G. line, tall,
rangy, and wonderfully effective in
action, as all his opponents of last
year readily recognize by gracefully
yielding to him the position of all
Northwest center of the season of
1915.
When the call for recruits was is
sued he joined the militia at once
and has adapted himself to the
changed conditions of life at Cal
exico with a philosophy that has
won him many friends among his
= comrades in the ranks.
He reports himself as having lost
little weight in spite of the torrid
conditions prevailing at the camp,
and expects to be in fully as good
shape as at the beginning of his foot
Dall training last season,
A short time ago Director Boiler
sent him football, and since then,
Langdon reports in his letter, life
mas been more strenuous than before
among the members of Company /.
Ills fellow soldiers have joined him
IN his exercise, and a team has been
formed with Company as a nucleus,
which hopes to defeat all corners.
