ROAD COURTESY
AIDS M0T0R|ST
Spirit Of Kindly Feeling Adds
Greatly to Joy Of Motoring
in Country.
HELP OUT Stranded Driver
Especial Need Of Chivalrous Attitude
on Part Of Experienced Operator
Women Not Skilled in Cop
ing With Trouble.

One of the big pleasures of modern
motoring lies in the fact that whether
the trip is for 100 or 1000 miles. the
motorist has every reason to feel sure
that he will finish his journey without
having to climb out Of his car to un-
dertake the disagreeable job OF making
repairs on the road.
But now and then some miShap &C.
ours, and courtesy Of the road that
all motorists can extend with little in
convenience to themselves Is an offer
Of help to a fellow motorist whose car
has become stranded. Such an offer
is particularly timely if the scene of
the mishap is some point whose re-
moteness from garage would make 1t
difficult to get assistance.
Owners Caught Unawares.
Even the most careful owners are
caught, unawares at times and lind
themselves far from home and minus
some tool that is essential to making
repair. For instance, not so long
ago. a man who prides himself on his
equipment got puncture on a lonely
country road. He felt he had no cause
for worry, for locked on the back of
his car were two new tires ready for
lust such an emergency.
But when he went to get one OF
these tires he could not find the key
to the lock. He was just getting ready
to wreck the lock when car drew
up with an offer of assistance. 1t hap
pened that the good Samaritan had a
kew that opened the lock. and put an
end to the difficulty.
Many Women Unskilled.
With the number of women drivers
rapidly increasing. some of them not
skilled in coping with tire trouble or
bad ignition there is an especial need
of a chivalrous attitude on the part of
experienced drivers. The women prob
ably ought not to be driving at all un-
less they know enough about car to
be able to make simple repairs. but
the fact remains that some are without
the requisite knowledge. Moreover.
equal suffrage has not yet reduced
woman to the status of man to the
point where the average male would be
able to square himself with his con-
science if he paid no heed to woman
in distress.
In order to extend an offer to this
sort it is not necessary to go through
lot of fOrmality-a mere wave OF
the hand will frequently serve the pur-
pose. But it is this spirit OF kindly
courtesy that adds to the joy of motor
ing and increases the pride of motor
iSfS in their class.
