Injury May BE the
Result,

The s. o. S. signals OF the motor
are the sounds known as knocks ana
pounds, and they should be needed at
once or serious and costly damages VIII
accepted distinction between these two
kinds of abnormal sounds which an
ailing motor may give out, but the term
knock is usually applied to the some
what sharp, clanking noise which is
produced when metallic parts are abb
normally stressed, but have no substan-
tial looseness or play between them.
Little, if any. jar of the car as .
whole accomps utes these knockings.
The term pounds is usually applied 70
blowlike sound, which results from
loose parts striking together, and which
is commonly accompanied by distinct
Jar. According to these definitions, q

hammer.

WOMEN TO FORM
AN auto BRIGADE
Offer 1000 Motors and Drivers for
Auxiliary Service i'm Case
OF War.

To take care of women and children
first in the event of an invasion, Gov
ernor Mccall, of Massachusetts,, has
been offered the use of 1000 light auto
mobiles and the services, OF large
corps of trained women drivers. The
formation of this auxiliary brigade was
undertaken by prominent motorist at
the suggestion of women drivers and is
the direct outcome of the motor car
mobilization in the east last spring and
summer during the preparedness cam
paign,
AS soon as the rupture with Germany
became a certainty offers of cars and
drivers began coming in to G. S. Hen
shaw, Dodge Bros. dealer in Boston,
and, owing to the number of women
drivers who volunteered, it was decided
after conference with the authorities
that the most useful service to which
a reserve corps might be turned would
be the removal of women and children
from any threatened area, practically
every other branch of activity having
been covered in plans already made.
1t is the purpose of this reserve CORPS
to work in connection. with the won-
ems organizations now preparing for
active service and 1t is expected that in
the course of the next few days several
hundred more women will be enrolled
Some of these women are already ex-
pert enough to act as emergency mech
anicians with the women's division,
thus releasing for actual military serv-
ice a number of men drivers who would
otherwise be unavailable.

May ABOLISH TAX ON
NONRESIDENCE CARS
Supreme Court Decision UNFOLDING
State Statutes Provokes
Action.

Washington, March 10. - That re-
course to congress is the only method by
which a complete exchange OF automo-
bile reciprocity among the several
states can be obtained, has been made
clear to the American Automobile as
sociation's legislative board in the re-
Gently announced decision OF the Unit
ed States supreme court In what has
been known as the New Jersey test
case.
In conjunction with the National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce, the
owners organization undertook legal
procedure in New Jersey which ques-
toned the authority Of that common
wealth to interfere with the interstate
journey of registered New York mo-
torist en- route to Pennsylvania.
I'm the absence of national legisla-
ton covering the subject, state may
rightfully prescribe uniform regula-
tions necessary for public safety and
order In respect to the operation upon
it's highways Of all motor vehicles
those moving in interstate commerce
as well as Others" the opinion said,
Upon the situation created by the
decision of the court Chairman Os-
borne l. YeIIott OF the A. A. A. legis-
Iative board thus comments.
ITO obtain the freedom OF the
TOAuS 1OI the udLlOu We lA4&uL now re-
new our effort to secure the approval
OF congress to the common sense meas
ure drafted by Rep. w. @. Atkinson.
This provides that after obtaining an
Identification number in his own state
and paying whatever taxes may be
exacted, a motor car owner shall then
be privileged to travel over the roads
in other sections of the country.
THE federal aid road act. the OPP
GRAFTON of which is just beginning,
will give help to all the states on their
most used post roads. and this will
rapidly dissipate any vsstige of right
on the part of state to charge the
motorists from other states for the
use of roads which the government
helps to build. This will lie particu-
lariy true in view of the fact that a
large percentage Of the vehicles from
neighboring states invariably are to
be found upon the main arteries, which
will be the result OF the federal and
state partnership.

FLOOD OF TOURISTS
DURING 1916 SEASON
COAST TO COAST MOTOR TRAF-
FIG PROVES HEAVIER DURING
1916 THAN DURING ANY PRE-.
VlOuS YEAR.

Washington, d. G. Mar 10.-Be-
tween the north and south the road
shuttle 10 more active than ever In
the history OF the nation, according
to the figures which are daily being
tabulated by the A: A. A. national
New York city. The Washington
headquarters are serving an anpIi-
flying number OF travellers from the
middle west and also accelerating the
passage Of the increasing procession
which finds little difficulty in covering
the arteriaI route from the metrop-
oils to the national capital
Florida is the principal southern OBJ
jective at this time of the year, for
the peninsula state has gotten into
its highway stride to such an extent
that the fact is commanding wide
spread attention. In fact, the entire
southland Is feeling the effect of the
recently established federal roads co :
operation with the several states, and
from the accommodating state systems
are emerging the trunk routes which

fic.
For Interstate Routes.
It Is safe to say that every forth
coming state legislature in some form
or another will consider the twin sub
jects of roads and self-propelled We
hicles. One phase of the situation is
the practically unanimous desire on
the part OF all states to establish
travelabie connections with adjoin-
ing states, for 1t is now realised that
commerce and social relations do not
stop short at state boundaries,
1t is worthy of note that each of the
two years past has had an increase Of
100 per cent in tourists from the west
RI tho ana nfhor than fhn Fri
to the California fairs of last year,
there has been an increase of eastern
tourists into the west of nearly so per
cent.
OF that doubling from the west,
whatever the contributing causes, a
notable factor were the cars from the
southwest that have used the National
ola Trails !, route nd pentSring On Kansas
to Wheeling and on to the national
capital where they spread out in fan
shape to the New Jersey coast, the New
England region and the New York
mountain and lake country.
Use All Routes. St.
Tourists from the east have gone into
the west and to the coast in fairly
evenly divided numbers between the
southwestern routes, these latter gain
ing in numbers and popularity with
those who started late in the season.
That exact late season road condi-
portrayed to its many Thousand touring
the A. A. A. touring board
is sending J. A. Hemstreet. manager of
the New York bureau over this route
The start was made from New York
thence to the national headquarters of
the association in Washington, and on
over the National Old Trails route to
City. From that city weather
conditions will determine the itinerary.
This popular and hist0ry-scarred in
terstate route includes the Cumberland
road that figured as the beginning of
federal concern in highways.

Little Clara, who was rescued by
neighbors from a dog kennel in her
stepmother's backyard, to which she
was actually chained as though she
were an animal, was found to be
literally covered with open wounds
the result OF continual maltreatment
on the part OF her inhuman step

The child had been beaten with

and with Hoensch's clenched fist un-

was placed in the kennel. She was
emaciated to such a degree that her
bones protruded through her skin
BEER SCARCITY SEEN
AS AID TO BEAUTY.
The Berlin Vorwaerts remarks
Not only Is the beer growing scarcer
and scarcer; II Is also becoming
worse and worse In quality. In many
Berlin resorts one can only procure a
sugary thick broth. which. though II
be crowned with a dense. soapy foam
possesses nothing OF beer save the
name.
Naturally few OF the true votario'
OF Gambrinus care to sit over mus
after mug OF this mysterious decoc
ton. and the consequence Is that the
abstention from beer imparts to the
figures Of the average Berliners an
unwonted slenderness which doe.
not become them az all ill.
This slenderness promotes a mo
bility OF body hitherto unknown
among us. and this change, there Il
no doubt will have a salutary efec
on our physical and even mental de
velopment Hats on. therefore, TO the
