has no such advantage.
There Will be about 100000 new
drivers this year If car sales continue
at the present rate. While skill in
operation of the car is an easier mat
ter to acquire by reason of the great
Improvement in controls, traffic con-
ditions are more complicated than at
any time in the history of the auto
mobile and knowledge OF rules of
driving and courtesy never more i'm
portant.
In view OF present conditions the
experienced motorfst cannot afford to
mistake ordinary inexperience for
willful recklessness. The man in the
powerful phaeton who passes you at
dangerous point on the hill may be
simply some one who does not fully
appreciate the risks he is taking. II
you are true worker for safety you
will do everything in your power to
make it less likely for this inexperi-
enced driver to come to grief.
This means that you must give
way to him at crossings, fall back on
the hill il he tries to pass and shows
car and a machine coming downhill.
and apply your brakes cautiously
when he is following you in traffic.
TT means that at every curve in
the road you should sound your horn,
because in all probability he will
overlook this point.
The beginners will learn, but in
the meantime safety rests with those
experienced drivers who are in a po-
sition to offset the beginners short

FIVE CENTS A MILE
SAVED BY GOOD ROAD
Statistics on Auto Repairs, Fuel
Consumption and Other Items
Show Difference.

Statistics of repairs, gasoline and
oil consumption, depreciation and
loads hauled demonstrate that the
average difference in cost in runnin &
a car or truck over good hard roads
and poor roads is approximately 5
cents per mile.
The average mileage of all cars
and trucks in this country exceeds
5000 yearly.
There are 100000 cars and trucks
running in the United States.
A simple multiplication proves that
If all the roads in the United States
were poor roads, making them all
into good roads would save more than
four billions every year, or more than
five times as much as is spent annu-
ally in this nation for good roads.
Poor Roads Costly.
Evening star., 1924-04-20

OF course all the roads are not poor
roads, and more than 80 per cent of
the travel of our vehicles is over the
good roads and not poor ones. But If
we had good roads vehicles would
travel over them. Vehicles are now
forced from the many poor to the few
kood road miles in order to avoid loss
of time and the tremendous cost of
travel over poor roads.
Any individual, asking himself
whether his share of a new road tax
will pay him, has only to figure the
number of miles he will travel in a
year over the good road and see what
he, personally, will save. This COM
putation, of course. leaves out of CAL
culation any such factors as the saw
ing he makes by the lowering OF
prices of goods he buys which travel
the good road, and any increase in
his assets due to the increase of land
values on the good road, and any in
crease in earning capacity due to the
time saved on good roads. With
figures so plain and savings so OBJ
vious, it Is difficult to understand why
any one thinks that national high
ways, built and maintained by the
national government, will not more
than pay for themselves In very
short period.

A. A. A. OUTLINES RULES
Points to Dangers With 100000
New Autoists on Roads.

In a bulletin just issued by the
traffic committee of the American
Automobile Association motorists are
given a timely warning against con-
fusing the road hog" with the mex
perienced driver whose lack of cour-
tesy or recklessness may be unin-
territorial.
According to the A. A. A. paper
every spring brings it's list of pre-
ventable accidents as a result of ex-
perienced drivers mistaking uninten-
tial for willful recklessness and vio-
lation of rules of the road.
AS a result OF several recent inves-
LEGATIONS into accident causes in
which it was shown that collisions
often resulted from the inability of
seasoned drivers to make allowances
for the shortcomings of beginners,
the a. A. A. has outlined for motor
guarding car users through better
understanding between drivers.
Makes Recomme ndationS.
The recommendations of especial
Importance are as follows:
Whenever a driver seems to be
usurping the right of way at an
intersection when he is not en-
titled to do so, IL is safer to assume
that he or she is inexperienced and
not willfully disrespectful of law and
order Too many motorists seek to
teach others a Lesson at the wrong
time, and the inevitable result is an
accident.
THE proper time to teach the new
driver the rules of the game is be-
fore he has to apply them. The ex
perienced driver who leads the begin
ner into believing that the only way
10 learn to drive is to enter heavy
traffic and sink or swim is only en-
couraging the worst form of reck-
leSSness.
The willfully reckless driver may
change his mind at the last moment

Now that the spring has arrived

numbers. ii is most timely that they
should be given an opportunity to

Drumm. Many an owner can save
himself a great deal of trouble and
annoyance by knowing the simple
mechanics of his machine. Many do
not know the first thing about a car

Urges state signboards.
The state should erect a. signboard
at the state boundary line on every
main highway giving a brief digest
of state laws tourists should know.
Maryland is already doing this with
great success, he says.
Every town should post brief sur
vey as to right-of-way rules and
speed limits several miles out of each
community and again on entering the
town.
Automobile dealers should also
quote the laws in effect in their com
munities by means of signboardE
printed slips in their salesrooms and
at gasoline stations. Every garage
and gasoline station should help per
feet this system, he says, and these
things would all tend to stop trafiC
