In Behalf of Safety.

The miles per hour figures Of the
speedometer could he supplemented in
the interests of safety if the stopping
distances for the respective speeds
were also recorded. When 10 miles
per hour appeared on the dial the
sight of the figure 81 would remind
the driver that he must allow ap-
pro1imately 10 feet. for stopping in
event OF emergency.
At Is miles per hour the figure
eos would also appear, indicating
that 90 feet must be allowed for
stopping. Thus when the speedom-
eter registered 35 miles per hour and
the supplementary dial said 1l5 the
driver would begin to appreciate. the
fact that speeding is not how fast one
goes but how quickly one can stop.
Possibly some day the stopping
distances will be marked on the
speedometer dial. and also some pro-
vision whereby the driver can con-
veniently test his brakes to make
sure that he actually stops within
the approved distances. AS matters
stand he is obliged to mako marks

Just as the time is passing when any
one time Of the year is particularly
adapted to motoring.
With the general adoption of the
closed car and the policy of owning
notn open and closed types of cars,
average motorist is very much less
/ concerned over weather and tempera-
ture He has been discovering that
tnere are ideal days in the winter for
motoring and that while spring and
summer open up many roads that are
closed to touring at other seasons
OF the year fall and winter also have
their advantages.
Buy During Entire Year.
This is being reflected in car buy

situation was clearly illustrated in

once customary TO close UP auto

The truth of the matter is that
people are buying cars as they need
them, regardless of season. There

would send them to automobile row

likely to drive a brand-new car right

There was a time when the aver

Getting It Settled.

1t is almost fatal to attempt to pre-
brakes and balloon tires, because
many prominent automotive people
are divided as to the merits OF these
changes. But people in the financial
district are certain OF one thing.
namely, that the 1925 models will
decide both points definitely. There
will be no long-winded battle, as was
the case with the adoption Of the
self-starter, they contend.
The reason for this is because the
motoring public today does not want
to be in doubt. People do not want
to put their good money into an ex-
pertinent. and neither do they want
to buy cars that are old-fashioned in
design. 1t slows up sales to have
the public deliberating. The manu-
facturers are said to be wise enough
by getting together and agreeing
upon certain changes as fnal
This is where the compromise may
develop. With respect to balloon
tires it has already been demon

the manufacturers can expect to sec

tire. and the tire people can expect TO
find the public favorinS the sort of
cord tire that Will stand low air
pressure without damage to it's cas-
ing. If the manufacturers continue
to disagree. the public will merely
assume that the idea of the balloon
tire is all right. but that it is more
practical merely to approximate 1t
with 4 low-pressure cord.

Two Touring TIPS.

Speed is relative. You can save a
lot of time on your trip by stepping
on the gas a little at the start, rather
than trying to work up to a lively
speed by degrees. If you give the
car a burst of speed at forty you'll
be surprised to find how comfortable
your riding Will be when you cut it
down to thirty.
Slow moving cars on the highways
are often operated by dreamers.
When a driver has a destination in
view he hurries unconsciously, but
when he is just out for the air he's
very likely to be a bit oblivious to
the interests OF others. His laxity Is
your danger. Get by him IL you pos

Never Fail to Signal.

Even the experienced driver lapses
into the habit of failing to signal his
intention to turn left il he is follow
ing the beaten track of the main
highway. He should remember that
the man behind may be local driver
who. planning to take the dirt con-
tinus tion of the road straight ahead,
figures that those ahead of him arc
going the same way. Everybody
isn't travelling the broad highway all

The following suggestions are

Park the car in the same place
every day, and leave 1t exactly the

Forget to lock it and leave the
