get the engine in Al working order.
and. accompanied by a licensed driver,
you go down to the bureau of motor
vehicles. If you're early you get,
let's say. fifth place in line. The in
spector jumps upon your running
board, collects your temporary permit
and says. Drive ahead" II you know
how to handle the car. you follow his
orders and even make a good turn"
without hitting either curb. After
getting an o. K. on your roadwork
you proceed to the written examina-
ton and answer such questions as
"How much gas is there in gasoline?"
When it's all over. you get your
license card. Then you realize that

AUTO|ST HELD BEST
JUDGE OF SPEEDING
Reckless Driving Law Urged
as Better Than Limit on
Hourly Mileage.

No blanket rule can cover every
case fairly. whether 1t be for the
motorist on the highway or the golfer
on the fairway.
Careful automobile driving demands
that the motorist be permitted-and
required-always to drive at rea-
sonable rate of speed commensurate
with the existing conditions. To arbi-
trarily set a maximum speed limit to
be obeyed under any and all condi-
tions is, on the face of 1t. an inef-
fective and unfair measure. Vehicles
must proceed at a fair rate of speed
to keep traffic in motion and prevent
blockades.

"Why make laws that all-even the

Forced to Exceed Limit.
The majority of motorists are ac-
tually forced to exceed fifteen miles
an hour on many, If not on most,
occasions. All fair-minded people
will agree that this is true. The fact
that some of the more progressive
communities make twenty miles an
hour the maximum speed Is proof
that fifteen miles an hour Is. to say
the least. impracticable. Even the
twenty-miles-an-h -hour limit Is made
quate to meet all cases.
Motorists are law-abiding class OF
citizens. Their liberal spending keeps
money In circulation and brings pros
perity to the very communities that
seek to fine them for minor .infrac-
tions Of unknown local ordinances.
