No. 1s--Lost without Maps.

A mile or so farther along the de-
tour looked back to see if Smith
was still following me, only to be
startled by his absence from the seen
cry. Apparently he had lost his way.
But how?. The. road had seemed SIM
pie enough to me. l had just followed
without giving it much thought
But them on recalling the course l
had just Straversed, L remembered that
there had been fork in. the road
about quarter of a mile back. There
had been, no sign post and the high
way department had failed to mark
the continuation of the detour plain
ly.. 1 had taken the branch to the
left without debating the question
because I knew that the main road
was trying to get back, on was some
where to my left. Half the time am
driving over strange roads / cannot
tell exactly where L am or how far I
am from somewhere else. but | am
never lost a.cause l aim to keep my
general directions clearly in mind.
Smith Becomes Confused.
When Smith, met the fork in the
road he was. confused because he had
already lost his main directions and
seemed to make matters worse. He
might have noticed that the road to
the left was the more travelled of the
two. or that there We're plain traces
In the dirt of the road to reveal the
imprint of the two new rear tires which
he had helped me buy not three days be-
fore: but he chose to make a very
common mistake in automobile path
finding.
He said to himself: I'll try the
tn itrht
and If l don't >overtake my friends I'll
know then that l have chosen the
wrong road. Then I'll come back and
get on the right one" His plan went
well enough until he got long dis
tance view of the road ahead from the
top of hill. Seeing that I wasn't in
sight, he turned the car around and
headed back to the fork again, but
before reaching the original scene OF
his confusion he encountered IAN in
verted fork which he had passed by
without noticing. Country roads are
always filled with these jokers and
when travelling over an unmarked de-
tour one has to be careful about them.
Lost In the Woods.
The upshot of Smiths experience
was that he chose the left road this
time (probably because his choice of
right road the time before had been
uniucky) and soon found himself
completely confused. isolated in the
woods, lost.
Worse of all. the sun was beginning
to set.
As | waited by the roadside 7 sud-
denly recalled that Smith did not
even have a roadmap. He was always
going to get one, Perhaps map
might not have shown him these
side roads. but at least il would have
revealed the highways, and with this
encouragement he would have been
justified in going straight ahead in
he
eventually he would strike the main
road.
The situation called for action, so I
went back to the fork in the road

HOW TO AVOID DAMAGE.

Once the car has been brought to
a halt in traffic. it is best to release
the brakes, provided the machine is
not on a grade. The purpose OF this
is to-offer less resistance should the
car be struck from behind by another
car. A rear-end collision is greatly
lessened If the car being struck is
free to move. II the brakes are set
the damage Is increased in propor-
ton to the amount of resistance Of
fered the other car. Wise motorists
find 1t better to run slowly through
trafnc rather than speed up, stop and
start at every street crossing.
