Rarkinn Pointer

If in doubt as to II ether the front
tire is resting against tie curb when
parking facing the curb and at an
angle to it, simply find out whether
the wheels can be steered into a diff
ferent position. If they move freely
they are not touching and the car is
not resting against the curb in such
a way as to damage a tire. Some
times by turning the wheels little,
with the emergency brake set, the
strain can be taken off the tire which
has previously been resting against
the curb.

That the traffic rules Of number
of cities are indirectly responsible for
many of the pedestrian accidents
caused by motor cars passing stand
ingN street cars, is the rather start
ling conclusion drawn by those who
have studied the accident situation
closely.
Where the regulations forbid park
ing Of cars within a certain distance
of the crossing it is now contended
that this leaves the way open for the
reckless driver to dash past and
cause trouble.
Very obviously when cars are
parked right up to the safety cross
ing line ON all but double width
streets the unthinking or foolhardy
motorist cannot pass, the parked
ears acting as a safety device.
The no parking regulations are said
to be instituted as a means of offer
ing pedestrians a change to board
and alight from cars in safety, but
the facts seem to show that they Of
fer an excellent opportunity for
street car users to be run down and
for motorists to reveal their careless
ness.
1t is also pointed out that the mo-
tor car operator is frequently in
trigued into believing that no one is
going to alight from the street car
or that the car is not going to stop.
With cars parked, and the way of the
motorist blocked until the street car
moves, there is title opportunity for
such misjudgment.

Worth Remembering

When switching on the ignition

preston to keep the Car under better

the clutch is left engaged when the

business men generally are looking
forward with confidence to a period
OF continued sound prosperity during
the coming year. In practically all
OF the sections visited business was
apparently satisfactory; in some
places conditions were more favor
able than in others, but even at
points where slow progress had pre-
vailed for several years past. I'M
provement was apparent and optim-
ism over the coming year was SEEM
ing1y unanimous.
throughout the territory west of
the Rocky Mountains, sales of NASH
cars have shown a gain of $500 This
year over 1922 and there is every rea
son to believe that a further gain of
almost similar proportions may be
expected in this same territory in
1924, In visiting the small towns

WILL FIGHT
MYSTERY
DISEASE
Fowler Called to Richmond
Conference-Fear Its Spread
to Washington.

A strange and apparently new
disease is breaking out in Vir-
ginia and threatens to spread to
the District of Columbia. Health
authorities of the State have
called a conference to make an
investigation and DR.. William C.
Fowler, District Health Depart
ment, will attend.
First official word Of the new
malady reached DR.. Fowler today in
telegram from DIR. Enion g. Will
liams, health officer of Richmond,
Va. The telegram urged the local
health officer to come to Richmond
Immediately.
DR.. Fowler conferred with Com
missioner James F. Oyster and later
in the morning the Board Of District
Commissioners approved an appro-
priation to pay the health officers
expenses.
According to meager word from
Virginia, the new disease first ap-
peared in Leesburg. Those Ill re-
ported that they were stricken by a
high fever which later disappeared
as suddenly as it appeared. When
the fever disappeared they report
they were left in a state of collapse.
It is not known how long DIR.
Fowler will remain in Richmond.
He probably will make personal
investigation Of several cases Of the
new disease in addition to consulting
with the health authorities Of Vir.
ginia.
Steps are now being taken in Vir-
ginia to prevent the spread of the
malady to Washington. So far no
cases .have been reported here.
