In an ad appearing elsewhere in
this issue of the Chief, the Donald
onville Cigar Factory announces
that it wants more girls to learn the
cigar trade, and that it is prepared
to furnish employment to as many as
will apply for same. Those who have
been in the company's employ for the
past several weeks, have become so
proficient in the trade, that Mr.. Kern,
the manager, feels that he can now
devote his time to the teaching OF
others. The company requests all
iris or young women who wish to
earn the trade to call at the factory
once. Nice wages are paid to ap-
,rentices from the very beginning.

spring, summer, fall and winter. 1t
comes with late frost and cold rains,
with the thunder shower and the
street sprinkler, with the equinoctial
and earliest snowflakes and with loose
snow, packed snow and ice. But you
may escape ii or at least it's danger
Gus phases and learn to neutrallze the
effect.
Chief Cause of Skiddng.
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 a trolley, automobile
or pedestrian. You should treat 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 a corner or curve at so high
their traction. TO overcome it apply
the brake gently, which will drag the
rear wheels and give the front wheels
chance to take hold.
Another cause Of skidding, 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 1t 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.
Skfdding 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 a 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 methot
be very sure that when the brake |!
applied you do not twist the steerin;
wheel.
The novice would do well to ties
this method on wet pavement wher,
there is no traffic. Make the skid a
directed earlier in this article but a
q very moderate pace and then try t
correct 1t by this method.
