Motorist Answers
Judge Houses
Catechism

Magistrate House, who sits in the
Traffic Court, some time ago proposed
a ten-question catechism for motorists.
He said the queries, if studied, an
swered and made to act as a guide,
would help to decrease the number Of
accidents to aged persons and children.
The questions have been answered by
a writer in the current number of
"Motordom," who says:
with all due respect to the learned
Judge the one who drafts the follow
ing answers does not believe Judge
House knows what he is talking about,
as from these questions it would ap-
pear that he knows little or nothing
about driving car himself, although
we know his intentions are good and
he means right enough"
Ten Questions for Drivers
These are the questions:
''Do you stop when streetcars stop
ahead Of you?"
do you ever have your speedometer
tested?'
"Do you every stop to look at your
rear lights?"
do you drive in. wet weather with
out chains 2"
do you test your brakes before
driving your car 2"
"Do you know what makes an auto
mobile smoke"
"Do you talk to persons in your car
while driving?"
do you know the rules Of the road"
"Do you order the chauffeur of your
motor truck to operate it without
proper equipment

and then let him pay $50 fine Z"
The magistrate ends with this bit Of
advice: "Be q careful owner or driver
and avoid trouble and inconvenience.
Ten Answers of Driver

charging passengers"

Rick" Ace Of Aces
Now a Captain !
OF Fliers
BY BECK

1t goes without saying that the many
friends of Eddie Rickenbacher, ex-rac-
ing driver, are delighted that this
American ace of aces has been made a
captain in the Aviation Corps for his
great work on the battlefront.
His promotion makes it meet to re-
call the efforts made by Rick to get
into the flying work. He came back
from England about the time this coun-
try entered the war. He had been
working in the Sunbeam factory there.
Rick was filled with the idea that rae
ing drivers, with their knowledge OF
internal combustion engines and their
proved courage in speed work, would
make ideal airmen. He telegraphed
about the country, getting pledges from
the racing drivers to enter the govern
ment service, and corralled a whole
squad. This cost him great deal OF
money, which he spent willingly. Then
the whole thing was turned down. be-
cause the racing drivers did not quail
ify as college men.
Undaunted, Rick got into the army
as 4 sergeant in the Signal Corps
When he first went abroad he drove
q car for General Pershing. Later his
ambition was realized, and he was COM
missioned lieutenant in the Aviation
Corps. He has a record of nearly
twenty enemy airplanes officially, and
a lot more unofficially.
1t is worth while noting that another
extracting driver, Caleb S. Bragg it was
who recently made wonderful flight
record from Dayton to Washington and
then to New York.

American Chain Company
Loses An Executive

In the death of Bishop White, vice.
president and general manager of the
American Chain Company. Inc, who
fell victim to the influenza epidemic
on October q, there died a man who
gave his life for the service Of his
country no less than if he had fallen
in the front line. His unusual ability
as an organizer had brought him to the
front rank at an age when most men
are still subordinates, and he devoted
every bit Of that ability and every
ounce of his strength to the problems
of speeding up production at the Ameri-
can Chain Company's eleven plants in
order that there be no lack of the
war essentials that they are pledged
to supply. In fact, had he regarded
the danger seriously and taken the
necessary precautions he might still
Mr.. Whites chief ambition was to
join the American Chain company boys
already fighting "over there" and onlv
the constant assurances of his asso-
ciates that his services were far more
valuable to the country as an organizer
and producer at homo kept him over
here as long as it did. He had made
all preparations to leave. November /
to enter the service for the duration
of the war.
Mr.. White was only SO years old
He was born at West Hartford, Conn,
IN 1885, the son of Niles G. and Minnie
Bishop White. He married Mary A,
Shiras of Mount Vernon, N. Y, in i916.
and his wife and one child, Bishou
White, jr., survive him. He also leaves
besides his parents, five sisters and
one brother. Prentice White, formerly
