AUTO NOTES.

During the past week Mr.. W. F.
heihuish. president OF the Fulton
Motor Truck Company, of Farming
dale. L. l., ''at the port of New
York" has been in Washington,
pushing the introduction of the Full
ton truck in the District and arrang-
ing a very attractive show room at
u36 Connecticut avenue. Mr.. Mel
huish's wide experience in the truck
manufacturing industry and his eek
tensive travels have made him a
fluent and convincing talker-and he
has ideas to talk about. 1 thoroughly
enjoyed my seevral sessions with him.

stron on Fourteenth street at 1898
Jacks features the Lee puncture-
proof pneumatic cord and fabric tires,
and auto accessories.
A peculiar accident happened on
Fourteenth street yesterday. A small
Dodge runabout got in the way of a
Fourteenth street car and threw the
street car off the track, the wheel or
the runabout sustaining the weight of
the big street car. The car line was
tied up for quite a while, but the
mortor car was not seriously injured,
which shows the sturdiness of the
modern automobile.

The toll Of life and limb taken by
automobiles in recent years has led
to a general crusade against Careless
ness on the part of both drivers and
pedestrians.
Drastic laws governing the use Of
streets and highways have reduced
accidents considerably in some sec
tons. but public authorities admit
they will be powsrless to do much
without the active backing OF public
sentiment and the cooperation Of the
people.

man says: The man on foot has a re-
sponsibIlity as well as the vehicle
driver. While the former has the
right Of way, he IL expected to use
due caution and discretion. It will go
hard with any policeman who fails
to perform his duty in suppressing
reckless and criminal speeding on the
streets and highways. Never in the
history of mankind was human life
as precious as today. The thsater
owners and newspapers of Washing

Every man, woman and child must
see this picture and learn the valu-
able lesson 1t teaches. The present
generation will make the world safe
for democracy. The next will guide
its destiny. Our duty Is to help make
our streets safe that they may live.
Here are some specific rules that
every person in the community could

1t was bad enough In times OF peace

mildly, It Is certainly "giving aid and

New Jersey is. In many sections, in

growing worse. In previous articles,
have pointed out how the State Of
Pennsylyania has neglected the road
system between Beaver Falls ana the
Ohio State line, and I have also point
ed out how New York State has never
thought IL worth while to build q
good road from Buffalo to the Penn.
syivania State line.
The excuses for the condition Of the
highways given In each locality where
the roads are in bad condition, is
that motor trucks are breaking down
the roads" The various highway de-
partments seem to regard this as the
last word on the subject except that,
In New York State. the Highway Com
mission had the happy idea of meet
ing the situation by attempting to bar
heavy traffic trucks from the public
highways. This latter legislative pro-
posal almost became q law and un-
doubtedly would have done 90. had it
not been for the vigilance Of the sew
eral dealers and motor truck organi-

To say that the roads are bad be-

there not be a furore! The President
would send q special message to Con-
gress; Congress would Immediately en-
act some emergency legislation and
the entire resources of the country
would be pledged to suppression of
such outrages.
What are the facts? Trucks loaded
with food and munitions, IN transit be-
tween our principal cities, are being
held up every day for hours at a time
and are being seriously damaged.
These hold-ups, however, are not due
but are caused by Gen. Neglect
Although the disastrous results to the
war program are the same, no one in
high authority seems at all concerned
and each day conditions grow worse
and hold-ups increase in number and
in duration.
For example, the main highway be-
