Experienced Driver Does Not Make
Sudden Spurts, but Maintains
Uniform Speed.

If you follow the car driven by an

Skidding Is Dangerous.

On 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
Regardless of safety devices drive
slowly, apply the brakes intermittent
ly not harshly. If you know the car
is a 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 a car that is skldding. The rule
Is, steer with the skid, so as to at
tempt to straighten out the car. The
average driver 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
a 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 a life back. Slow down
in the rain and II 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 s. brake by shifting into
second or first speed. Shut off the ig-
milton If you wish to get still better
results; you can switch II on again
when you get near the bottom Of the
grade. This saves the brakes and
makes 1t 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.

sown at the rate of 10 pounds per
acre. A method of seeding that has
often been used is to cut grass with
mature seed and scatter the hay over
the land where it was desired to es-
tablish carpet grass pasture.
To establish carpet grass pasture
in open forests or on cut-over land,
without going to the expense of clear
ing the standing trees should be
deadened by girdling The land to
be seeded should be burned over in
winter in order to remove all the tall
straw or broom sedge, wire grass. and
other bunch grasses. Flowing or
disking is not necessary. Carpet grass
at the rate of pounds per acre may
then be sown at any time after the
weather becomes warm, but prefer
ably when there is ample moisture.

LOCAL MILLER DEALER
GIVES ADVICE TO DRIVERS

A discussion relative to the use and
abuse of tires was under way at Begg
Bros store in this city and after con-
siderable argument the question was
left to Wilbur Begg. the local man
ager Of the concern, as to whether or
not It was economy TO try and dodge
a rock in the road and take the shock
on the side wall in doing so. or allo"
the tires to meet the shock fairly ana
thereby cause the car severe jar.
Mr.. Begg readily explained why the
lar to the car itself was Of but little
consequence as compared with the
possibility OF spelling a casing.
"a surprising fact in tire conserva-
ton is that it is better to run over
rock in the roadway than to hit 1t
sharp, glancing blow. or course such
obstacles should be avoided II pos
sible, but when the dilemma OF a
choice is forced upon the motorist'
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1920-07-13
{ this decision is best.

tuIS uSNISioH 10 Ucot.
ITO hit rock head on may cause
a severe jolt, and further more is
likely to stone bruise the tire, but ii
causes less damage in the end to the
tire properly inflated than sharp
blow against the side wall and rim.
AS explained by Miller tire experts,
the reason for this is that the tread
of tire is the part best able to absorb
shock incident to normal operating
conditions.
Side walls, however, are not in
tended to be shock absorbers but to
give the carcass of the tire strength
and shape. Rubber on the side wall
is laid on to protect the tire fabric
from the destructive action of the ele-
ments.
"The tread OF a tire is thick and
resilient and made to withstand the
abrasive action of the road. A layer
of cords, heavily imbedded in cush-
ion rubber, is specially designed to
neutralize and distribute blows.
with tires constructed in this
way the motorist has little choice II
unable to avoid an obstruction, than
to take the blow on the tread rather
than on the side wall. Careful driv'
ing should rarely make such a deci'
sion necessary"

Story on Worlds Greatest Trapshot.
BY Peter P. Carney.
Editor of National Sports Syndicate.
Allow us to present for your infor-
nation and guidance something about
the greatest of all trapshooters-Mr.
Charles G. Spencer of St. Louis, Mo.
Spencer is to trapshooting what
Cobb is to baseball, what Evans is to
golf; what Gould is to tennis; what
Brookes is4tennis; what Mclean is to
skating, and what Pop" Geers has
been these many years to the light
harnesss world.
In sporting circles phenoms come
and 60 yearly but 1t is the fellow who
stands the pressure of time that
counts. The player with the record
of consistency over a term of years is
the one we look up to with admira-
ton.
In only one year since he broke
into the Detroit outfeld has Cobb
been surpassed by any other batsman
in the American League. That de-
notes class. Bobby" Mclean has
lust lost the worlds Use skating cham
pionship after holding it for ten
years. That 10 year stretch is the
best evidence Of the ability that Nc
Lean possesses. Norman Brookes

makes it a melodrama of the thrilling
sort.

they can break.
In 1919 there were five runs Of
more than 200 straight by the anna
