as simple task, we overlook the
possibilities which it offers.
We are not attempting to defend
fast driving. That is dangerous or
not according to the man behind the
wheel. No one could reasonably up
hold speeding or any other kind of
driving when the driver in question
did not practice the fine art of motor
ing.
What we have in mind is a wider
ana more extensive application of the
principles of right driving, which in
cludeS much more than strict obedi-
ence to traffic regulations.
We would like to see more fine
driving, more real thought on the part
of drivers and more kindly treatment
of other motorists. These things are
possible and they are bound to come
eventually. If they We're here today,
how much better driving conditions
would be for all OF us! How much
more marked would be our courtesy
to our fellow motorists! And cour-

vents accidents.

Some Driving Incidents
Just recently a famous race driver
was seriously injured in turning out
to pass wagon on a country road.
He had driven in hundreds of races
and on all kinds of tracks without a
| mishap. Yet. in driving along a
! country road at moderate speed, his
efficiency as a driver was not dis
| played. And an avoidable acct
! dent resulted. He simply failed to
practice the things he had learned in
handling motor cars.
AS another illustration. we know
of an experienced motorist who had
| occasion to make a trip of about 140
miles with two different drivers.
| The first driver covered the distance
under ideal weather and road con-
| ditions in about five hours. The
second driver made the same trip
! during a rain, when the roads were
! slippery. in less than four hours
And the second journey was by far
| the safer.
Why? Simply because the" second
driver was efficient. He had his car
under control at all times. He did
not make a move that he knew
would not turn out just exactly as
he expected. Such as in passing
other vehicles and in approaching
and making turns.
| The first driver was uncertain, he
| took chances when he had no right
to do so, and when conditions We're
in his favor he did not make the best
use of them. He had progressed but
little since the first time he learned
to drive a motor car.
| How many of us are real students
anXiously trying to find out how we
may improve our driving? How
many of us are giving this important
matter the attention which it de-
serves?
| Careful analysis would show, no
doubt, that no other thing, which af-
fects so many lives in so many differ
ent ways, is receiving so little con-
/ sideration as the driving of motor
cars. Accepting the operation of cars

MANY FEDERAL LAWS SEEKING

owners who are not aware of the in

Of the automobile goes the natural

While radical and fantastic schemes
for registration, road building, and SO

ests Of motorists who are not in touch
with the details
1t is anticipated that the next ses-
sion of Congress will bring forward
many bills that should be urgently
encouraged, and many which should
be promptly KILLED" The Inconsis-
tencies of State motor vehicle regu-
lations and the increasing use Of the
automobile as an interstate form OF
transportation and commerce are TO-
CuSlnS ATTENTION on forms OF feueral
regulation of motor vehicles. All
these points will be fought out in
Washington, and at no time in the
history of motoring will there be such
urgent need for strong support from
the n. NJ. A. affiliated clubs through
out the country.
1t IS freely predicted that the mo-
florists of the country have battle
ahead. 1t will be staged at the Ma
tional Capital where the individual
car owner has only one way to pro-
tect himself effectively against adj
verse laws, and that is through sup
port of his local automobile club.

ers of the city when the advanced
pupils of Professor Elmer a. Todd
presented a program ut high quality.
While many selections were well
rendered, and much ability was
shown on the part of the various
performers the outstanding num-
bers perhaps were Miss Margaret
Lanier's rendition of Cyril Scott s
"Danse Negre," and Concerto in
G Minor" by Mendelssohn as pre-
sented by Miss Estella Needham
with Professor Todd at the pipe or
gan. The latter number showed
Miss Needham's undoubted ability,
and her excellent training. The
high quality of Professor Todd s
work was shown not only by his
rendition but also that of his pupils.
