him (unjustly) with increasing their

MuFF FOR STEERING WHEEL,

Benumbed finger tips will be only

actuality OF winter driving II an In
ventNn OF an Oklahoma motorist
meets with general approval. His
invention consists merely OF a mutr
for the steering wheel, but its In
genuity lies in the fact that It leaves
the hands free for manipulation OF
the wheel and controls. A wire
frame is mounted TO the steering
post and encircles the upper portion
OF the wheel, leaving the lower part
open for the admission of the driv-
er's hands and arms, Attached to
the frame is a fur or barrie covering
which covers not only the hands but
the forearms as well. Gloves may
be worn under the muff. and the
driver finds no impediment TO re-
moving his hand quickly for shift
ing gears.

SPEED AFFECTS
\ PUBLIC bYWAyS

II the speed OF every commercial
car and truck were kept within the
legal bounds at all times the cost OF
maintaining bridges and streets
would be considerably reduced and
their lives would be longer, in the
opinion OF W. "A. white Jr, OF white
Humphries company, Standard Eight
distributors for northern California.
White has been making study of
damage caused by speeding OF heavy
vehicles, both from a standpoint OF
wear and tear on roads and bridges
and also from the standpoint OF ac-
cidents.
Passing such laws would mean
greater protection TO the public and
convenience to drivers. II Is also be-
lieved that with local and state laws
throughout the entire country in con-
formity. greater success would be met
in enforcing the traffic laws uniform
ly IN all localities.
Few. people realize the extent OF
damage done every year TO Califor-
MIA roads by excessive speeding" says
white, particularly by heavy com.
mercial cars and trucks. And IL we
want more good roads II Is necessary
for us all TO work together TO reduce
to n minimum the cost OF upkeep of
the improved highways we already
have.
The public IL also interested from
another standpoint--that OF safety.
The number OF accidents which are
caused by speeding and lack OF con-
troll would be greatly reduced by the
use OF governors. II is claimed. Traf-
fic records from all over the country

accidents are caused by one OF the
above reasons. The number Ia stead

"The answer to the above Il limit
