Everything seems to point to the
fact that carelessness is the ability
or reluctance to anticipate the posi-

The Old Mechanic Saws:

Why overlook the effect of the

troubles that are entirely due to the
particular kind of weather we've been

oCar Hitching Posts.

Dobbin may be entirely out of date

that is not saying that the hitchinG

fulneSs. Two conspicuous annoyanceS
have yet to be solved in motordom,
and the hitching post, in some form
or another, may be the answer.
Cars are stolen in congested dis
tricts chiefly because owners do not
take the trouble to lock them. and
also because it is easy for thief to
sit in car and work on a lock I'M

more parking space than he should.
This being so, possibly if motorists
were required to hitch and lock their
cars to evenly spaced posts much of
the present difficulty would be OBJ

Seven Bad Actors.

War against the undesirabl car
owner has already gained Roadway,
judging from a warning sent out by
one of the insurance companies.
Briefly. the seven bad 'uns are:
!. The bootlegger: lawbreaker
who subjects his car to uninsurable
hazards.
,. The Goldfish aristocrat: The fell
low who tries to support a straight s
on fivver income.
3. The degenerate: An irresponsi-
Bile cuss whose associates drag him
into trouble against his better judg-
nent, assuming that he has anything
on this order.
A. The gambler: The party who
often needs money more than car.
). The irreconcilable: The chap
who dishonesty wants 81 for every
dollar of loss sustained.
g. The drunkard: The party who
tries to mix hooch with gas with
such dire results.
{. The reckless driver: One who
has no business with an automobile
anyway.

On the New Cars.

Among the new trends in auto
mobile design and equipment balloon
tires and four-wheel brakes are but
two of the important features. IN
fortunately they hog the limeiight to
the disadvantage OF many other nov
elites that are smaller but of particu-
lar Importance. Your newest car. to
be strictly up-to- date, would carry
the following features as we'll:
Five crankshaft bearings for a four,
seven for six and nine for an eight.

Not enough attention is paid to the

Observation-Disclosures the engineers

suitable color for each. For instance,

in this fashion do not so readily
show either dust or mud, and il the
reader has watched his wheels care

spokes catch less of the road tar than
any other part of the chassis. The
tendency is for the wheels to hurl
the tar away from their centers.

ACCIDENTS ELIMINATED

An almost total elimination of &C
cidents to motor vehicles transport
ing passengers and property for hire,
rs reported by the State Road Com
mission, as the result Of the enforce
ment of the new law requiring bond
or liability insurance to cover injury
or damage.
When operators of motor vehicles
for hire were not required to assume
financial responsibility for persons
and property transported by them,
through bond or insurance, accidents
were OF almost daily occurrence. The
total, last year ran into hundreds.
A number involved loss life, and
many others were of serious nature
In the issuing of permits at the
beginning of this year, the State

both the new law and the supplement
tary rules made by the Commission.
As result, instead of accidents
every day, there has been but one

MONONGAHELA VALLEY TOUR
NAMENT TO BE HELD FEB
RUARY 20 AND MARCH 1

The Monongahela Valley Tourna-
ment which is held annually at Fair
mont under the auspices of the Fair
mont Normal will this year take
place on the goth Of February and
March 1st. This will DE the fifth
year of the Valley Tournament, and
preliminary survey shows that
more teams are eligible to compete
than any former year. Each year
the tournament has improved in class
and as the teams in the Valley seem
to be the best in the state this tour
nament should bring out some super
fine basketball.
Bill Watkins, of East Liverpool,
Ohio, who referees Ohio Conference
tournaments will handle the games.
Bill was the choice of the high school
coaches of the section at the meeting
of the Monongahelia Valley Athletic
Association this winter.
Improvements recently made to
the gymnasium will allow additional
seating space for at least FIVE hun
bred people. This was deemed nee
essary as the gymnasium has been
overcrowded in former years. Bal
comics have been constructed the full
length of the building on either side,
and two rows Of fans can get an ex-
cellent view of the games from them.
It is probable that press boxes will
be built at the end of the building.
