Skiddina Is Dangerous.

On a wet road skidding is the most
dangerous thing likely to happen, but
skidding becomes dangerous only if
the car Is travelling at speed. A slow
car can easily be stopped; or even If
1t does not stop when the brakes are
applied, at least the impact does lit
tie if any harm. Without tire chains,
brakes equally adjusted or other as
sur&nce that the car will stay straight
on a wet road, don't take the chance.
Regardless of safety devices drive
slowly, apply the brakes intermittent
ly, not harshly. If you know the car
Is chronic "skidder" reduce the mag
nitude as much as possible by shifting
into second. If there isn't time to
shift into second or If you lose your
head you are at fault. Learn to con-
troll CIT that is skidding. The rule
is, steer with the skid, so as to at
tempt to straighten out the car. The
average dryer fOrgets about every
thing and presses as hard as he can
on the clutch and brake pedals. Use
the brakes alone and look ahead with
view to keeping the car from strik-
ing an object.
Impaired Vision.
The writer has seen any number
Of cars on the road in rainy weather
and no protection whatever afforded
the driver against accidents due to
impaired vision. Rain on the wind
shield is no excuse. The shield should
be kept clear. The fact that the side
curtains are up and you cannot see
well to the rear or to either side
doesn't bring life back. Slow down
in the rain and If you cannot see on
all sides wait until the rain is over
or drive with extreme caution.
In going down steep grades use the
engine as 6 brake by shifting into
second or first speed. Shut off the ig-
milton if you wish to get still better
results; you can switch it on again
when you get near the bottom of the
grade. This saves the brakes and
makes it easy to control the car on
the hill. Drive slowly up grades.
Don't try to make every hill in high
as fast as the car can travel. Remem-
Der there are other users of the road.
At night think of the brightness of
the head lamps. Do not confuse an
oncoming driver with bright lights.
Pass him with DINNERS on. Keep as
far to the right as you can and drive
slowly so as to avoid frightening the
other driver. Your statement that he
shouldn't get frightened because you
weren't too close to him doesn't re-
pair bones or save lives.

Prosperity of Railroads
Speeds Industrial Cr0wth
Business Men Learn Their Own Success Depends on
Efficient Transportation, Says Head of Illinois
Central; Cites Lumbern,an's Change of Heart

opinion. there are thousands Of bust
ness men and farmers in the South
who have learned this same lesson
quite as we'll as my friend. the lumber
man--men who, while not hostile to the
railroads before the present shortage
of transportation developed, we're not
outspoken in advocacy of a liberal pol
these men, I firmly believe, will be-
come active in their support Of, and
cooperation with the railroads in their
endeavors to expand and grow and
serve the people of the South
From this state Of affairs l get my
optimism. l believe that the lesson
which we have learned in the hard
school of experience through which we
are now passing will not be without
its compensations. and among those
compensatory will be a complete
toward the railroads, and that the rail-
roads, if given time to recuperate, will
soon take their oldtime place of
leadership in the development of tie
South and every other section of the
country.
Cost of Lesson
1t Is too bad, of course, that there
had to be shortage of transportation;
that it required lesson as severe as
this to open the eyes of the people as
to what railroad transportation is and
what it means to them. 1t is too bad
that this thing could not have been
learned through the frequent warn
ings sounded by railroad men of eX-
perience, vision and honor, and that,
alasl it had to be learned at such high
cost to the people.
But the skies are clearing. There
are many signs with indicate that the
public is growing more friendly and
railroad labor is settling down and
will henceforth render full days
work for full days pay, and that the
railroads and the public will not be
troubled SO much in the future with
sporadic strikes; that the Interstate
Commerce Commission will apply the
new transportation act literally with
the view of restoring the credit Of the
railroads, which will mean that the
tide of money will again flow toward
railroad securities. When these things
become realities the great railroad
crisis will remain only as a memory
The railroad machine of the South
is like any other machine. 1t should
always be ready to take care of the
peak load Of the business offered to
it. If too much capacity is provided,
that is very easily taken care of after
ward. If. on the other hand, too
little capacity is provided great and
irreparable losses will result NV
hope and belief is that preparations
are now in the making to ultimately
provide q little more transportation
than will be needed by the public in
times of greatest prosperity. For the
sake of the country, I hope that will
be the policy of the Interstate Com
merce Commission and that it will
continue to be the policy throughout
the years to come
