in tiptop condition.
Every new driver should confine his
trips to the open country for at least a
few weeks, leaving the hill elm hing

can only learn how to handle your car
in heavy traffic. or on steep grades with
sharp curves, by actual experience, but
first of all You want to feel certain
YOU know your car'-that you have

And just word about the overcon-

may be week. or a month, or sew

that the attack of "overconf1dence'
comes along: But mark you well. this
attack Is dangerous, for about the
time the driver believes he has learned
all there Is to learn he runs up against
situation that puzzles him, and an
accident may result.
For instance, If he has never skid

Look Out for Fiends.

AGAIN, II ne hasn't learned that
there are thousands Of fiends who
come around corners at excessive
speed at the most unexpected times,
and that each thoroughfare is lined
with new drivers. many of whom may
be out for their first lesson, his over
confidence may get him into serious
trouble.

may be his fault. not yours, but you
have got. to learn to watch out for
these things. and become good

away driver. or anything else that is
required Of you in an emergency.
Therefore, a driver suffering from
an attack Of overconddence is always
in danger. 1t is the most dangerous
period Of his experience as a motorist.
In this connection here's good rule
to follow: Always try to drive in such
a manner that no matter what some
other fellow does you can keep out of
harms way.
You may be able to handle your own
car. but you never can tell what the
fool" ahead or behind or to one side
of you is going to do. Keep your eye
on him. or sooner or later he'll send
your car to the repair shop and pos
sibly send you to the hospital or the
undertaker's.
And even If you really master your
car and learn most of the tricks of the

driver every day. In short, if you drive

VALUE Of LARGE VALVES
ON MOTORS EXPLAINED
Avoidance of Undue Heating and
Consequent Pre-Expansion Also
Discussed.

The greater the weight of mixture
that can be got into an engine cylinder
compressed and fired, the greater the
power produced. other things being
equal. To this end very large valves
carburetors Offering very slight OBJ
struction to gas movement, and short
gently curved and smooth walled intake
pipes are used
For the same reason it is necessary
to avoid the undue heating and conse-
ouent pre-eXpansion of the entering
charges, by preventing their exposure
to too high temperatures in the intake
piping and in the cylinders, says a mo-
tor authority. BY such measures high
rate of output in proportion to the
cylinder value is secured.
Action of Throttle.
The action of the throttle is simply
to reduce, at the will of the operator,
the weight of the charge that enters
the cylinders. by placing a more or
less complete obstruction to gas flow in
the piping between the carburetor and
the cylinders-the throttle valve. When
ever the density of the air increases an
engine cylinder can take in greater
weight of charge and vice versa, and
thus when the barometer is high en-
gines are capable of somewhat higher
output than when it is low, other things
being equal.
In any given locality this difference is
rarely noticeable, but extreme changes
of altitude involve very marked changes
in air density. and in mountain climbing
there Is quite a noticeable reduction
in power observed in an engine when
driven from near sea level TO an aitl-
tude of more than a few thousand feet
At 10000 feet elevation the effect is
marked as the cylinders I'LL with
substantially lessened weight of oxygen
and fuel vapor.
With wide open throttle. at a high
elevation, the result is the same as with
partly closed throttle at an ordinary
altitude The operator can do nothing
to remedy this condition. of course,
but he can keep the quality of the mix
ture correct, by carburetor adjustment.

ALABAMA IS NOW
 ORGANIZED FOR
 RED CROSS WORK
Nearly 200 Chapters in the State Are Actively En- gagged in Patriotic
 Work

The Red Cross society has made great strides in Alabama in the last six months, the most notable feat be- ing the thorough organization of the state. On May 1 there were only two chapters of the Red Cross In the whole state of Alabama, and at the present time the whole state is organized with the exception of the counties of Cal houn, Cleborne, Talladega, Clay, Coosa, Etowah Cherokee DeKalb and Mar shall. These counties are under way for organization and in a few days there will be over 200 chapters in the state.
 W. J. Leppert. director of the bu- reau Of development of the gulf diyi- sion, which includes Alabama. Mis- sissippi and Louisiana, returned to Bir- mingham yesterday from a trip of or ganizing the Jackson county district at Scottsboro and Stevenson. He says the people are eager to fall in line and do their share of the work. At Scottsboro especially a rousing big meeting was held at which Congress- man E. H. Almon made an address telling of the work done in Congress for the Red Cross work.
 Plans are fast maturing for the convention to be held in Birming- ham on November 19 and 20, when representatives from the state chap ters will be here to learn the work that the society is planning. The To- cal society, who will have charge of the arrangements for the convention. will announce their committees in a few days.
 A unique feature of the present Red Cross work is the teaching of the children in the work of the organiza- ton. It is planned. and has already been done in a number of cities, to have the children of the schools to pay 25 cents per capita for lessons in the work. This 25 cents will pay for the wool and other material used, none of 1t being paid into the national organization. The children upon pay ment of their fee will become mem bers of the Red Cross society and re- ceive a society button and lessons in doing the knitting and other work of the society.
