Whether the engineering features
of a car will be satisfactory or unsat-
isfactory is a matter of how familiar
the driver is with the car he handles
and how much effort he exerts in
order TO give those features an OPP
portunity to display their advantages.
It can no longer be said that one
type of engine is necessarily more
satisfactory than another, because
the driver must be taken into account
The human equation alters the result.
There was mad dash to adopt
multiple disc and plate clutches in
the belief that they would be more
satisfactory than the older type, the
cone clutch. But no automobile
owner can afford to assume that SIM
ply because he has more advanced
type of clutch he will have less
trouble with IL. There are many cone
clutches in service which are giving
far better results than many others
of other types.
1t is all a question of whether the
driver is familiar with the principle
involved in the various units of his
car.
Automobile progress in design as
engineers discover that certain pr1n-
tory but there would be far less
trouble, even with principles which
are not considered satisfactory, II all
owners would make an effort to un-
derStand thoroughly the various prlr-
ciplcs employed in the construction of
their cars and cater to them.
Must Pamper Devices.
1t is not generally recognized that
every mechanical device must be
pampered. There never was anything
devised by man which didn't need
attention of some kind, and the
wrong treatment is often worse than
no attention at all
The great Leviathan is said to have
been damaged on her maiden trial due
to the inability of her original Ger
man operators to understand her. 1t
is the same with an automobile.
Take the most rugged type of engine
and treat it ineffectively, and it VIII
prove most unsatisfactory.
When omething goes wrong with
a car the motorist invariably decides
that the principle is wrong. He con-
demns IL A rumor develops to the
effect that suCh-and-such d car has a

simply that in its location at the

Those who catered to it had no
trouble.

But it was merely an idle dream
Today the motorist has little more
than gas, oil and water to consider
for the short spin. yet the number of
people who forget gas is nothing
short of remarkable.

on a certain principle, requires a

JUDGING the competency of au-
, tomobile drivers by their be-
u havior when at the wheel,
rather than by their actual
knowledge of driving, is a new de-
velopment in motor vehicle regulation
which may become the chief method
for eliminating the unfit from the
highways
1t is no longer possible for a driver
to conceal his real type through ms
good behavior at the time of applying
for his license. nor through MS
liability or luck in keeping himself out
of trouble He can be sized up in
stantly by any one who knows human
nature and automobile driving.
= 1t is not improbable that one of the
examination tests-possibly the en-
tire examination itself-will be OBJ
servation of the applicant by pSy-
biologists at a time when he does not
suspect it.
AS a matter of fact. the only time
to judge a driver is when he is IN

that the inspector will turn him down.
makes a series of blunderS and gives
every evidence of being a dangerous
person when at the wheel.
Conventional driving tests fail TO
reveal types, and types are coming to
be recognized as of increasing i'm
portance.
= Certain types of people have no
business driving automobiles, any
more than certain types are desirable
for police duty, train operation or
airplane plotting.
The only way to determine whether
a driver is desirable is to test him
for this point when he is at the wheel
and unconscious of being observed
y In other words. il is necessary to
find out what type of driver each op-
orator is by how he drives.
The custom has been to judge a
driver by his record. If he hasn't
wrecked any machines he is supposed
to be a good driver" whereas he may
simply be the most dangerous type of
all. the lucky driver.
This type is easily recognized.
Upon approaching a street corner he
will fail to take the precaution of
sounding his horn, even though an
other machine is coming down the
cross street at an unreasonable rate
of speed. But the other driver hap
pens to sound his horn. and there is
no accident.
Simply a case of luck.
70" Lucky Type Dangerous.
The lucky type of driver is par
tfcularly dangerous because he IS al
ways Jeopardizing the other fellow;
and. because he does not appreciate
the seriousness of his acts. he often
inadvertently increases the hazard.

HAS NEW PLAN TO GOVERN
TRAFFIC IN BALTIMORE
Maryland Roads Commissioner
Suggests Special Streets Be Set
Aside for Fast Vehicles.

BALTIMORE. August 4.-Establish-
ment of express streets or through
bouleyards for fast vehicular traffic

hour would be allowed, has been sug-
gestedby John y. Mackan. chairman
Of the Maryland state roads commits

Mr.. MackalI was appointed by Mayor
Jackson to the committee which Will
study the city's traffic tangles.
Under the boulevard plan street cars
and other slow-moving vehicles would
be barred from the streets given over TO
fast traffic. Parking on such streets
would be prohibited.
Mr.. MackalI said establishment of

the through lanes of travel would elimi-
nate the necessity of one-way streets.
The latter always causes much protest
and friction between merchants on the
streets affected. it was said
Many advantages would follow estab
lishment of express streets, according
to Mr.. Mackali.
AT present" he said. 'if you are
driving home it takes a long time to
get out Of the crowded downtown sec
tion. At every cross street there are
other machines which want 10 cross

SOMETHING TO WATCH.

One duty of the careful driver when
proceeding along in the same direc-
tion with a street car IS to watch the
wheels of the street car al switches

FEEDING GAS TO ENGINE
TOO FREELY CONDEMNED
Motors Capacity to Burn It Is
Limited and Choking Is
the Result.

Some drivers don't seem to realize
that the power plant of a motor car
is just as subject to indigestion as
the man who drives it. And, as in
the human mechanism, the trouble
often comes from overeating. In the
case of the engine this occurs chiefly
in hill climbing.
The driver fears that he won't be
able to make" the hill in high" SO
to be on the safe side he gives 'er all
the gas he has. He forgets that the
capacity of the motor at any given
time is definitely limited by the total

intersection and never realize how
lucky he was that the streets were
not wet.
This not being luck enough. it is
found that in avoiding the other car
he practically cuts the corner to the
left. He takes another serious chance
on collision without meaning to; but
again he is lucky.
The Speeder doesn't drive that way.
He is instantly recognized by the grim.
set expression on his face. He knows
too we'll the danger of inappropriate
speed. and he is all ready to use every
ounce of his ability to avoid death
When he f1irtS dangerously near it.
His clevernesS in driving is assurance
that when he does have an accident
it will be his finish. But. it must be
remembered that-unlike the lucky
driver-he will avoid injuring others
in an effort TO save himself.
The lucky driver will never recog-
nize his Waterloo until he is right
into it, The speeder sees it in -ad-
vance, and has a fighting chance to
escape.
Both of these types are highway
hazards in themselves, yet they -four

ability cloaks the faults of the other.

Mental deficiencies are plainly re-

usual attention to details will be
quick to note the bad Judgment dis
played habitually by certain drivers.
Hard to Draw Line.
Just where to draw the line be-
tween mental and physical deficiencies
is indeed a difficult problem. because
whereas a driver may seem to mis-
calculate distances through lack of
good judgment, the trouble may be
due to defective vision.
CareleSSness is also likely to be
mistaken for physical deficiencies. but
as both are causes for investigation
it does not make and material differ
ence whether the states Investigators
guess wrong or not. Any deficiency
should be cause for investigation, and,
whatever the real trouble happens TO
be, il will come to light in the process
of correcting the fault.
Dangerous peculiaritieS of disposi-
ton, however. are almost impossible
to correct. and where discovered.
therefore. should be grounds for revo-
cation of license.
The road hog. the daredevil and the
"avenger' are all types of dangerous
disposition which can be recognized
readily and which should be just as
promptly eliminated.
Motor vehicle authorities con-
stantly complain that they cannot
keep a check on everybody, because
it is impossible for their inspectors
