The Truth Which Shines.

In all ages both before and after
Christ, 1t has been the clear canviction
much more ardently and persistently
than they sought God. The truth which
shines most conspicuously in the ex-
perience of all the saved is that they
were saved by God and not by them
selves If human experience Is to be
trusted at all, If 1t in any case reflects
the substantial verities of the spiritual
world. then we may hold 1t as proved
In the uniform experience of men that
God somehow communicated to them
a living energy, and not only taught
them what to do, but gave them
strength to do it.-Marcus Dods.

JUDGMENT NEEDED
IN AUTO HORN USE
Freakism or Violent Blowing
Leads to Disregard for
Signal.

That the automobile horn is as i'm
portant as brakes In the prevention
of motor accidents is a fact which ap-
parently very few drivers recognize,
according to bulletin on this SUBJ
ject just issued by the educational
bureau of the National Motorists As
sociation.
There are many situations, in fact,
points out the National Motorists Asso-
citation. where the horn alone must be
relied upon, but without good judgment
in using It the driver cannot hope for
favorable results. The bulletin says
further:
Danger of Accident.
Horning. as it is practiced as pres
ent, reveals animal instinct. The mo-
torist uses 1t as a signal of approach
ing doom, just as though he and his
car were entitled to special privi-
leges. Accident reports, as analyzed
by the National Motorists Associa-
tion, show that such attitude on the
part of the driver encourages an at
titude of retaliation and disinclina-
tion to make concessions on the part
of other motorists and pedestrians.
with tho result that they take their
time about getting out of the way.
This may be the makingS of an ac-
ctdent II the driver also happens to
be depending upon his horn for safety.
Impatient sounding of the horn
often has the same effect; and if the
driver sounds his horn too loudly he
may disconcert pedestrian, or
frighten him to the extent that he
will change his course of direction,
hesitate and otherwise endanger him
self. There are occasions when it is
better not to use the horn at all.
For most purposes a moderately
long blast OF the horn. sounded from
a suitable distance, s to be preferred.

plays either impat!ence or inexperi-
ence. TO either Of which pedestrians
or other motorists will foolishly pay
less %.tention
II TIE horn is sounded too loudly
and too soon the driver will be under
the same suspicion.
Must Use Judgment.
Moderation and judgment are the
points to watch
AS discovered by National Motorists
Association men investigating the sub
ject, the average driver does not appre-
ciate how often he is dependent upon 100
per cent results from his fnorning. There
are many tight SITUATIONS where failure
OF the pedestrians to act upon the
warning of the horn, or a too violent
and illogical response, will put the
driver in a position where he is help
less to avoid an accident. regardless

NJ WILLIAM JLLMAN.

Everyone who drives has noticed
that car seems to run better at one
time than at another. but few stop
TO consider the personal element.
What passes for a better running
engine is very often merely better
disposition, while much of the car
trouble-if carefully analyzed-would
so on record as human distemper.
This relationship between man and
motor is SO pronounced that the very
worst of cars give complete satis-
faction to some drivers. while the
sweetest running cars arc a constant
source of annoyance to others. There
seems to be something in car owner
ship of greater Importance than serv-
ice, fine adjustments and luxurious
appointments.
It's psychology.

Imagination at Work.
The truth of the batter is that after
the machine was oVerhauled II was
practically as good as new. but the
owner noticed the dull hood and the
leaking radiator, and associated these
with the power plant. AT once ne
was conscious of driving a semi
wreck.
In complainins Of certain annoy

torist said that not one driver OUT

could picture the car in the hands of
a half dozen parties. none of whom
would notice the cars deficiency

That represented the other cX-

about his car to see that 1t is al
ways functioning properly knows
hat he cannot afford to turn a deaf
ear to trouble. Where ne begins to
take the detours. however. is in fail

habit OF looking for trouble In this
way simply means that every mile Of
driving will be marred by queer rat
things and nerve-racking sQueaks.
Motoring resolves itself into con-
stant source OF annoyance, with the
driver glancing into every car show
window with longing eyes.
He yearns for a new car. believing
that II would end his worries. where
as II is often the mere newness that

because the car was new there was
nothing to worry about. He could

with his old car had he made up his
mind to cease being a crouch.
An Interesting Experiment.
Here is an interesting experiment
to make when driving your car:
Start out with the idea Of trying
to hear. feel: see or sense in some
way everything that is wrong with
down 70 the details.
Select a quiet neighborhood for the
first part Of the test Drive along at
a modest speed and listen to the
engine.
You will first note that the valve
tappets are not properly adjusted and
that they tap in most annoying
/. gears and the transmission will come
to your attention at once. But lower
your threshold Of consciousness still
farther until the swishing of the fan
is distinstly heard, as we'll as the
clicking of the speedometer shaft.
You are then ready to hear the real
noises Sure enough. there is a bear
ing knock. Two pistons are plainly
slapping. and the firing is not at all
times even. You can distinctly hear
the engine beat in periods: and low
ering your consciousness to a level
where the inconsequentials begin to
gain attention you find that a door is
rafting. while the tire jack under
the seat Is humping bit
II nearly drives YOU to distraction:
Then-right at this point-head for
traffic. In two minutes y>r car be-
comes the finest running machine on
the street. 1t is simply because your
attention excludes all the trivial mat
ters in order to concentrate on driving
safely.
Haven't YOU ever noticed that a
piece of good news will cause you to
jump into the car and drive off, un-
mindful OF anything wrong with the
machine? Gosh, but the car drives
great today" you exclaim. It's all
true enough, but you forget that you
are feeling in exceptionally fine spir-

inders and still think everything is
o. X. Like any other good idea, il
can be overdone.
