Good Samaritans, Beware!

When the average person observes an- others property in danger of damage or destruction, the first impulse, in the ma jority of cases, is to do whatever pos sible to save it, writes Leslie Childs, le- gal editor of American Motorst, in the current issue of that instructive and entertaining magazine. Continuing, MT. Childs says:
 This is usually considered a praise worthy act and nothing but good can come of 1t. save in those instances where damage results from the act of the wouId-be rescuer; then it is frequently quite another matter
 No matter how disinterested and laudable ones Intentions may be, 1t is we'll to exercise some caution when in- terference with another's property Is contemplated. For if the would-be Good Samaritan happens to be wrong in his judgment and damage occurs that may in any way be attributed to his act, he will find himself in very unpleasant position.
 There are many cases of this kind in the books, and the fate of the disin- terested though kind-hearted volunteer varies with each performance. In some cases he reaped the reward which his good intentions merited, but in others, when things did not turn out as he ex- pected, he was compelled to answer to his acts in various ways"

GoUernor WeHborn Fauors Restricting Credits for
 Purchasing Pleasure Cars
Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank Official Issues Statement Financial Situation Regarding Automobiles Favors Granting Credit for Trucks and
 Tractors and Business Cars

gent and discriminating policy of con troll We have reached point where we must consider affairs from the view point of the general economic interest and to think primarily in fundamental terms of production of the necessary things of life and not simply in the mar rower terms of enlarged business and increased profits.
 The automobile business has grown to large proportions and consumes credit and labor in correspondingly large degree, and while am in favor of granting credits for trucks and trac- tors and cars used for strictly business purposes, do not believe that the pres ent is the time when the credit struc- ture should be called upon to bear the burden of financing automobiles that are used for pleasure purposes. The purchase of pleasure automobiles where people use their own personal funds, or where dealer sells cars on time, with small cash payments, and finances the transaction with his own resources, Is not Of direct concern. But do believe that the resources of the federal re- serve bank of this district should not De used for such purposes. In view of many firms and corporations being formed specifically for financing the purchases of cars by parties unable to pay cash it has important bearing upon the credit situation because ultimately the load is shifted upon the banks. While automobile paper technically may be negligible, still reserve bank in it's discretion may not regard it as desirable under present circumstances. Tn these times 1t is necessary to control credit and unless we take firm stand the more necessary demands of production and distribution will be jeopardized by tying up our funds in rediscounts that tend to encourage unusual extrava- gance"

PREPARING AUTO
 FOR ALONG TOUR

With the greatest motor touring season ready to get into full stride, the man and his family penned up in the city
 through the long winter months are long ing for the open stretches The touring bee is buzzing and motorists are planning itineraries that will take them into all corners of the United States and Can ada.
 The secret of success in touring is to
 plan your tour not only where you are going, but what you need to insure that you go at all. First of all there is the car to be gone all over.
 Naturally the car should be thoroughly cleaned before going on tour; this means not only the. parts which show, but the working parts underneath The
 transmission and differential gear cases should be drained, washed but with kero-
 sene and have new lubricant. Grease cups and hub cups need refilling, steering
 gear the same, cleaning if needed, and every working part should be inspected for wear while being fabricated. Clean the crank case and run kerosene through the lubricanting system. Drain this off and put in fresh oil.
 If the engine is inclined to knock on. hills have the carbon removed before starting. Test out the compression and grind in the valves where needed. Ex- anime the spark plug and make sure Of the extra ones, look over the wiring for worn insulation, loose wires and other defects. See that the magneto or breaker points are clean and proprly ad- iusted, and that the distributor is clean and make sure that the battery has a
 good charge. Take sfong a set of dry cells if there is no magneto If neces- sary have battery recharged at a service station.
 Generator and starting motor com mutators need inspection and perhaps cleaning and truing up. Look well to the springs They do crack, and a broken leaf is likely to make trouble on tour.

Many are the statements that have been made regarding the action of the federal reserve banks in restricting the credit of automobiles The Age-Herald has printed several of them. Yesterday letter was received from Governor Wellborn of the Atlanta federal reserve bank. setting forth his views on the present situation. It is with a great deal of pleasure that The Age-Herald reprints the entire communication from Governor Wellborn so that the attitude of the bankers can be distinctly under stood.
 Following Is Governor Wellborn's let ter to the Automobile Editor of The Age Herald:
 Editor Automobile Section, Bir-.
 mingham Age-Herald, Birming-
 ham, Ala
 Dear Sir: In last Sundays issue
 notice that you reproduced an arr
 ticle from the Nashville Tennessean
 on the subject of "Au tomotive cred
 it's" and on the previous Sunday
 you published an article from the president of the Georgia Automobile
 Association on the same subject.
 Both or these articles had reIerence
 to the stand taken by the federal
 reserve bank of Atlanta regarding
 the restriction of credits on pleas
 ure cars, which is the only an-
 nouncement we have made, and
 am quite sure it has never been published in your paper
 Tt occurs to me that perhaps you
 would like to publish my view of
 these credits, and am taking the
 liberty of enclosing herewith typewritten copy of same. Yours
 very truly, M. B. WELLBORN, Governor. Following is Governor Wellborns statement of his position with regard to restricting credits for financing pur- chases of pleasure automobiles: Tn view of the present strain on the banking credits of this district it is inn perative that we should have an inteHi-
