Austin, Texas. June 16.-As a result
of the conference held here between
a delegation Of county clerks. headed
by J, R. jefferson, county clerk of
jefferson county. with the state high
way commission. it was decided that
the county clerks over the state will
cooperate with the commission to
the extent Of supplying registration
blanks to any owner Of an automo-
bile who may request such a blank.
The commission. however, rejected
A proposition made by the county
clerks that they be paid so cents each
for making out the applications of car
owners for the registration of their
cars. Chairman Hancock said that
the law specifically provides that
these registrations shall be made with
the commission and not with county
clerks. The commission proposes to
issue such registration certificates
direct to the owner. The commission
will shortly have supply Of these
blanks on hand.
The commission has not as yet an
nounced the appointment of a secre-
tary to the commission. although
there are several persons applying
for this office.

motorist saw the other and made
every effort to avoid injuring him.
The above rule has been enunci-
ated so frequently during the past ten
years that il is probably familiar to
most motorists. But the extent OF
liability attaching to one who accom-
panies the driver Of a car. through
whose operation an accident occurs.
is possibly not clear Particularly. the
liability Of an owner who, while being
driven by his chauffeur, meets with
an accident whereby another is
killed.
There have been very few cases Of
this kind before the courts. There IS.
however, one clear-cut case in which
il was sought 70 hold the owner
criminally responsible
The case arose in New York. The
defendant was riding with his chauf-
feur, the latter driving the car. A
collision occurred. A boy was fatally
injured. dying the succeeding day.
Both the owner and the chauffeur
were tried for manslaughter in the
county court Of Delaware county.
They were convicted of the crime of
manslaughter in the second degree,
and the case was appealed.
This particular case happened TO
be a clear-cut one in favor of the
owner, not a word of evidence being
introduced to connect him with the
specific act that led to the death OF
the victim Yet, despite this, he was
convicted in the lower court, and he
no doubt owed his vindication to the
careful review and unbiased judg-
ment OF the higher tribunal"

Gasoline is a wonderfully safe
liquid if properly handled. says R. W.
Penniweu, of the Great Western Oil
company. The real danger comes
from the fact that some people do
not realize how safe it is and so give
way to panic if any of it catches fire.
\ few suggestions for handling it
viii go far toward reducing the dan
ger attendant on its use.
Gasoline is a mixture OF several
liquids obtained from crude petroleum
by distilIation. Other familiar pro-
ducts are naptha, kerosene, lubricat-
ing oils and vaseline. 1t is water

cept in large masses, when 1t has a

Court Holds Driver, Not
the Owner, Responsible
for Accident.

Gases wherein It was sought to
punish criminally for reckless and
negligent automobile driving have
been frequently before the courts dur
ing the last few years" writes Leslie
Childs, in the current issue Of Amer
lean Motorist.
The courts in ruling upon these
cases have quite uniformly applied the
rules adopted long since relative TO
the use and operation Of other vehicles
upon the public highways. An ex-
animation Of the books will. however,
probably lead to the conclusion that
they have, II anything. enforced the
rules referred to more strictly against
the offending motorist than any
other class.
The general rule governing erimi-
nal liability for negligent or careless
driving may be broadly stated. Where
one wilfully. carelessly or negligently
drives an automobile upon a public
street or road and thereby kills an
other. he may be guilty of homicide
And this is true even though the

TOPS KEPT UP NEARLY
ALL SUMMER SEASON

Few people. even automobile own
ers, realize how seldom the automo-
pile top is manipulated. Most per
sons have the feeling that automobile
tops are put up and down at every
change Of the weather: that every
time the sun comes out, down the top;
OF that every time the sun glares too
brightly, up it goes again.
To get some accurate information
on this subject. Newman Samuel.

floor of a closed room II constitutes
one Of the real dangers Of gasoline.
All It needs is a flame to cause it to
spread destruction on all sides.
For the present note how safe gaso-
line really is 1t can not be set on
fire by the glowing end Of a cigaret
or cigar, although II the cigaret paper
catches fire the gasoline will take fire
from this. This matter Of safety may
easily be proved by pouring a small
quantity Of gasoline into tumbler and
putting the lighted end OF a cigaret
into the vapor while putting It Wig
orously. Having satisfied yourself
that IL will not ignite, dip the glow
ing end into the gasoline and II will
be instantly extinguished. Evidently
the vapor needs the intense heat Of
a naked flame or the electric spark In
order to ignite
A popular error is to the effect that
gasoline is highly explosive, some i'm
agining that IL is only necessary to
touch a match to II in order to have
It explode like gunpowder. Nothing
could be further from the truth Pour
a dram or two on the kitchen table
and set fire to It. It burns quickly
with a characteristic yellow flame
and black smoke. Even II heated in
closed tank II will not explode II a
vent is PROVIDED. VI COURSE water
will explode il heated too much in a
tank without a vent. and so will gaso-
line. The bursting OF the tank is due
to vapor pressure and not TO an en-
pIosion such as is produced in an en-
zfne. But the most unreasoning fear
comes from the idea OF setting fire to
a tank at the filler opening. Most
people, in imagination, see the tank
torn to pieces and the experimenter
blown high in the air. Nothing OF the
sort happens The vapor takes fire
at the surface and burns quietly with
out any demonstration Of any kind.
This is only true, however, in case
the tank has been filled several hours.
A tank just emptied OF gasoline or one
freshly filled will give as good an ex-
olosion as one could wish
To see why a full tank does not
explode, pour a few ounces OF gaso-
line into a mason Jar. Shake it up
and set fire TO the vapor at the top
No explosion takes place, because
