WINTER DANGERS
IN DRIVING CAR
Careful Driver viii First See That
His Brakes Are Properly
Adjusted by an Expert.
TIRES SHOULD Be INSPECTED
Chains Should Be Used on Rear
Wheels at All Times When
Streets Are Wet or Icy-Wind-
shield Clear of Moisture.

Snow, sleet, ice, slush and mud pre-
sent a constant danger to the motor
ist during the winter. Extreme care
should be taken when operating in
this kind of weather to see that minor
points are observed or a bad col
lision will result.
The careful owner will first look
to his brakes and see that they are
adjusted by an expert so that they
will not grab unevenly.
The worst thing that could happen
to an owner is probably the driving
of a car during the months when the
streets are icy with improperly adj
justed brakes.
Peril of Skidding.
Brakes In this condition mean tnat
when they are applied suddenly, or
even slowly but firmly, one wheel
will be slowed down more than the
other. and the result is a positive
side slip or skid, which may end In
the death of some one, the wrecking
of a car or injury to another machine
passing or parked at this spot.
The front tires should also be in
speeted, and care should be taken to
see that they have a tread on them,
as these rubber grooves give a GER
tain amount of traction necessary for
steering.
1t is preferable to use chains on
all four wheels, but when it is found
that only two chains are available do
not, under any pretext, or on the ad-
vice of any friend, put n on a front
wheel and another on the opposite
side, rear. This will result only in
the wearing of the rear tire on the
side where there is no chain, and
will not in the least prevent skidding
in the same degree that chains on the
rear will.
Improper vision is also the sourc
Of disastrous accidents. A wind
shield wiper to clear off ice and
snow within a certain range in
front of the driver is advisable. They
are inexpensive, and can be bought at
any accessory store at a small cost.
Windshield Coating Precautions.
Another excellent p~recaution to
take is the coating of the windshield
to prevent sleet and snow sticking
and ~obscuring the view of the driver
A solution of one ounce of water

shield in an u%p-and-down manner
will prevent this sticking of snow and
ice. 1t should be renewed from time
to time.

The Greatest Contribution to the History of
Political Science
By S. D. TESS, Of Ohio, Speech in Congress.

The development of the American government and its institutions
is the greatest event in the history Of modern civilization, easily the
greatest contribution to the history of political science. The progress of
The nation during its national existence has no parallel. It's normal
growth and its present rank is the most outstanding event of modern
times.
This rank does not consist Of extent Of territory. numbers of people
or merely natural resources. There are other countries vastly greater in
territory, more populous, and richer in fertility of SOIL
It's rank is due to the character Of her people, her system of gov
eminent, and her institutions developed under that government. Her
greatness, like that Of any other great country, is not a commodity value
and cannot be estimated by material standards alone. Even if measured
by that standard, she would stand first in all the world. She is first in
agriculture, transportation, manufacturing, mining fiscal ability, man.
agerial ability, and skilled labor.

Able to Grow Great Without Conscious
Planning; Rich Without Economy
By LEWIS E. PERSON, Merchants Assn of New York.

Fortunate in steadily increasing man power, fortunate in the pos
session of great natural resources, fortunate in the inventyeness and
energy of a free people, this country of ours has been able to grow great
without conscious planning, and rich without economy.
We have been prodigal of our wealth because it seemed inexhaustibe
We have scattered treasure by the roadside because there were other stores
of wealth ahead. We have been MASTERS because there seemed no need
to save.
Yet after little more than a century Of national existence we find
ourselves questioning whether we can continue along this primrose path
We have wasted our forests until today we are using each year
more than four times as much timber Is we grow.
We have wasted our fields by soil exhaustion and the abandoned
farms of the East point a warning to the prairies of the West.
We have wasted our substance in various ways less apparent, but
no less serious and the present widespread demand for consideration Of
national waste indicates that for future prosperity we must look to tie
intelligent use Of our resources rather than to the careless exploitation
of the wealth about us.

There Must Be Coordination Among All
Facilities for Transportation
By THOMAS c. POWELL, v. P. Erie Railroad.

Our problem then is to so develop the transportation facilities as to
handle promptly and without waste the normal production, and in times
Of emergency to have sufficient elasticity to handle for a short time the
peak of the load.
I want to make it clear that when I speak Of transportation faci-
tiles I do not limit the phrase to railroad facilities, because there is a
larger realization that there must be coordination between all facilities
for transportation, but that each must play its part
1T took years of education, in which the railroad companies parici
pated, to bring to the mind of the farming population the need for high.
ways, and that this lesson has now sunk in is shown by the fact that in
1922 there was scheduled for expenditure in the United States, including
the amount furnished by the national government, a total of nearly 725
million dollars.
Contrast this with the statement which has been repeatedly made
that to properly keep abreast of the national development the railroads
must expend annually one billion dollars. This figure was impressive but
as a matter of fact it is only 275 million dollars more than the amount
spent on highways
