The Modish Overblouse.

A boon to limited incomes Is the
modish overblouse, which may be made
In all lingerie types and, aided by a
single skirt, gives the appearance of
many different frocks. One or the
smartest versions Of a more elaborate
garment was developed in heavy filet
mesh, hip length, dyed jade green. The
neck line was influenced by the present
oriental mode and reached in straight
beaded bands from shoulder to Shout

Chief Cause of Sklddino.

The chief cause of skidding Is run
ming on wet pavement at dry pave
ment speed. Then you want to stop
quickly and apply the brake, but the
car does not stop. The rear end slews
around and hits the curb or another
vehicle. or the car goes straight on
and drifts into trolley, automobile
or pedestrian. You should treat a car
on a wet pavement the same as you
treat yourself on ice, as though always
expecting your feet to go out from I'M
der you.
Front wheel skids come chiefly from
rounding corner or curve at so high
a speed that the front wheels lose
their traction. To overcome it apply
the brake gently, which will drag the
rear wheels and give the front wheels
a chance to take hold.
Another cause of skdding, which
comes chiefly in the country is due to
a crowned road, or one which is fresh
ly oiled. The novice will find a
| crowned road-that is one which is
higher in the center than at the sides
is often dangerous when wet. A
road which is much Travelled accumu-
lates quite bit of oil, and water add
ed makes it mighty slippery PROPOSE
ton. One is likely to take a sudden
slide into the ditch.
Chains Surest Safeguard.
Anti-skid chains are necessary
when travelling on roads such as have
described. Their use is not imperative
on the front wheels ordinarily, al
though many careful drivers apply
them there. Chains are the surest
safeguard against skidding.
When a skid occurs, turn the front
wheels in the direction of the skid,
release the clutch and apply the brake
gently when the wheels seem to take
hold, not before Do not apply the
brake too harshly or you will increase
the skid action.
Skidding often may be prevented by
throttling down the engine and apply.
ing the brake while the clutch is still
engaged. This will prevent the real
wheels from locking. 1t is peculiar
ity of traction that revolving wheels
are less likely to skid than where they
are locked and sliding over the pave
ment. But when you try this method
be very sure that when the brake Is
applied you do not twist the steering
wheel;
The novice would do we'll to tes
this method on a wet pavement where
there is no traffic. Make the skid as
directed earlier in this article, but a
very moderate pace, and then try t
correct it by this method.
