yourself up a rope-by a hand-over-
hand motion.
Never look down at the gear shift
or pedals. as this is an especially bad
habit and one that is likely to cause
trouble. My advice to the beginner
is to thoroughly master steering, as
nothing will so quickly get him into
trouble or disclose his inexperience
as not being able to properly handle
the wheel.
Another important point well to
consider for safety's sake is to occa-
sionally pull up on the hand brake
when stopping, instead of always
using the foot brake. For this keeps
the motorist familiar with the loca-
tion of this control, so that when ne
cessity for its use arises it is in
stinctively found.
Remember another thing. The left
foot has but one duty: it must rest
on the clutch pedal. If the driver
finds this uncomfortable. some sort of
a heel rest can be arranged, so that
the foot can rest on the pedal at all
times with perfect comfort. De-
clutching is one-half the operation
Of stopping, and fraction of a sec
ond in stopping is often important.
AS far as national preparedness is
concerned, the automobiles feels that

TAKE WEEK END TRIP TO POUGHKEEPSE REGATTA
A. A. A. PLANS GOOD
ROADSCO CONVENTION
Annual Get Together Solves
Roads Problem. Is Opinion
of Association.

A great national road convention,
held annually at Washington. under
Federal government direction, is the
next step necessary for efficient road
work throughout the country, ac-
cording TO the Good Roads Board of
the American Automobile Associa-
ton.
With every state expanding enor-
nous sums for road building, need
for Capitalization and systematizlng
is keenly felt. Transcontinental
tourists know all too well how a
magnificent boulevard in one state
may lead abruptly to a miserable,
sandy trail in another. A national
convention, where delegates from all
the states would meet and discuss
road matters, would undoubtedly go
far toward remedying this defect.
Speaking Of this proposed conven-
ton, George c. Diehl, chairman of
the A. A. A. Good Roads Board,
says:
This gathering in Washington
would be under the auspices Of the
United States Office Of Public Roads
and Rural Engineering in the De-
partment of Agriculture. The event
could be made enormously compre-
hensive in its scope. For instance,
there could be complete exhibit Of
road machinery and road materials;
there could be sample constructions
Of various kinds of highways; road
schools for state, county and town
engineers could be conducted, and
various technical phases of the work
could be set forth by trained experts
who would gladly attend such great
good roads event"
AS Mr.. Diehl points out, this would
be an unusual opportunity to show
the inter-related phases of road
travel and road transportation. 1t
would directly result in the added
comfort of the auto tourist, and
would mean more and more trans
continental drives. 1t would I'M
doubtedly prove great impetus to
the "See America First" movement
which is sweeping the country.
1t is highly probable that the CO.
operation of the Department Of the
Interior could be obtained, for this
would certainly be a splendid way to
set forth the scenic attractions of the
national parks. Every state would,
at the same time, be given an oppor-
tunity of advertising its attractions.
Mr.. Diehl, speaking for the A. A.
A., makes a strong appeal for sys-
tematization and scientific manage
ment of highway departments. He
advocates highway conventions for
the township, the county and the
state, to be followed as a climax by
this proposed national convention.
with the vast amount of funds
being expended throughout the coun-
try" he says, "the government of the
highways departments is becoming
largely question of scientific man
agement, and it is believed that if !

Mercer Wins Amateur Race.

W. A. Leet. Of Omaha. Neb., driving
a "22-7O" Mercer raceabout, won the
non-professional race at the Chicago
motor speedway May p, averaging
better than eighty-six miles per hour.
Another Mercer finished third. II. b.
Schillo, driving the same Mercer race
about. won the dealers race with the
same average as made in the non-pro--
fessional race. Mercer also finished
third and fourth ia this race.
This amateur event was the first or
its kind ever held in this country, and
il certainly marks a new epoch In au-
tomobile racing. Automobile owners
are prone TO make claims for the speed
of their respective cars, and the en-
thusiasts of Chicago and vicinity had
ample opportunity to prove their as
sertions in the race just held.
