CAUTION IS URGED
ON NAUTO DRIVERS
Should Always Be Able to
Meet Any Emergency
Arising.
Are you a careful driver?

Are You careruI QrlNeF.
Now, don't answer too fast. Per
haps you are according to your
lights, but you may not have consid-
cred all angles of the question. 1t
is so important to have every driver
in this congested country a careful
driver that I am going to outline
some points of care that you may not
have thought of.
I am going to start by supposing
that you understand the ordinary
limitations of speed and attention to
what you are doing when you are
driving. Speed in itself may not be
dangerous, and again it may be
deadly. That is something you have
to gauge for yourself as the various
emergencies and conditions of traffic
arise. I confess that driving in the
traffic of big city like New York
and Chicago scares me, and L avoid
doing it when l can.
However, what / want to talk to
you about in this article is keeping
your car in such condition that you
are ready for any emergency. Every
man who drives car in this country
ought to make an inspection OF his
steering gear each week or ten days
that he drives. He should see that
no dangerous play has developed and
that no part has cracked under the
strain.
Brakes Must Be- Good.
What applies to the steering sys-
tenn applies equally to the brakes.
1t is vitality important that these
should be 100 per cent effective every
time you want to use them. Your
life and those of others may depend
on the condition of your brakes.
Give them a thorough inspection
every week Be sure that they are
adjusted correctly. If one brake is
adjusted tighter than the other, you
will have skids as sure as you are a
foot high. If the brakes do not take
hold properly, adjust them; and If ad-
justment fails to make them right,
have them refined with good asoeS-
toS lining.
You should have a windshield clean
er on the front of your glass. NO
driver can be a careful operator II
he can't get a clear view ahead, and
the windshield cleaner is the only
method by which you can be sure or
clear vision in rain or other incleIn-
ent weather.
Never drive on wet or otherwise
slippery streets without putting on
Your Weeds. Chains are the only
known method of preventing Sklds
on slippery pavements. II you get
In a mix-up, the policeman Will be
sure to note whether or not you nave
chains on the tires, and this point
might count heavily in case of big
damage suit. AS a matter of fact, II
would not be a bad thing to have a
law compelling every driver 10 puI
on chains wherever the streets are
slippery. The question of enforce
ment is the only factor against plac-
ing such d law or the statute BOOKS.
Finally, don't forget that every
careful driver is carrying insurance.

JACKS AID OILING.

The job of lubricating the leaves
of an automobile spring is not an
easy task as it is usually carried out
with a leaf spreader. By placing
two jacks under the frame of the car
and lifting the end up, the weight OF
the vehicle is removed from the
springs, so that it is easy to work
grease and graphite in among the
leaves by means of a hacksaw blade
or similar tool

Use of Auto Ta1
For Roads Based
On Old Precedent

The policy adopted by highway
authorities in this country that a
tax on vehicles should be con-
fined to maintenance of highways
has an ancient precedent.
Students of Blackstone will find
that there is an old statute from
the time of King Charles Il
namely, statute Is and IA Car.
II. c-2-bearing on this point. In
1861 there were 400 hacking
coaches licensed for operation in
London and Westminster and six
miles thereabouts. The tax col
lected from these licenses was used
to pave the streets.

Auto Drivers Warned to See Way

Drivers evidence various methods
OF looking to see il their way Is
clear when approaching crossings,
but the only right way is to always
look to the right first. Bear in mind
that if you fail to note a car ap-
preaching from the left the other
driver has the width of the street In
which to stop, and while he is cover
ing this distance you have an oppor-
tunity to speed up and get out Of the

CATHEDRAL
FUND
Hundreds Of Contributions Are
Answer to Bishop Free
mans Sermons

Radio Is making it possible to
build a great cathedral in the
twentieth century in much less time
than was required in the Middle
Ages, according to a survey made
public yesterday of the contribu-
tons to the National Cathedral
building fund received from Bishop
James e. Freeman's radio congre-
cation.
Hundreds of gifts from the deaf,
blind and invaded in many States,
who hear Bishop Freeman preach
in the Bethlehem Chapel of the
uncompleted cathedral, where Wood
row Wilson Is buried, and from
visitors to Washington and other
Eastern cities, who listen In DIT
hotel Hobbies and the homes Of
friends, are being received by the
National Cathedral Foundation.
These contributions range from 81
to several hundred and are doing
much to swell the building fund.
The letters that accompany the
gifts show what the radio is doing
for religion. A typical ono from a
man, who has been an invalid for
many years follows:

ROnping Around
the
Radio Dial
BY Listener-In

Interest In the forthcoming cleo
ton seems for the moment to lie
not a. much in the question Of
which Of the three candidates will
be chosen head Of this great radio
republic as in the problem Of
who Is to broadcast the returns.
In as much as the reception Of
election returns direct from the
polls into the home win be dis
tinct novelty for a few million
Americans next week, the business
OF broadcasting these returns
should be made as efficient q servA
ice as is possible.
The two Capital broadcasters for
more than q year have maintained
an admirable aloofness from broad.
casting squabbles and have even
conducted themselves with rather
more than Alphonse-G CASTOR chivalry
on the Ago meters wave length.
It would be regrettable indeed II
In the heat Of an almost heatless
political campaign these friendly
relations should be broken by q
spiteful act on the part Of one Of
the broadcasters.
II ii our belief that one station
transmitting uninterrupted official
returns from the polls Is sufficient
to provide the service that IL
desired by Capital listeners follow
ing the election.
Washington, unfortunately for the
desires OF WCAP, Is not equipped as
is New York for the reception Of
multiple broadcasts.
The non-selective crystal set which
forms the bulk Of the reception APP
paratus Of the Capital, is as useless
In Manhattan az q 1-cent piece on
wave lengths Of 43k and 46s
meters which can be separated by
the selective receptors In New York
would not remain entirely separate
and distinct in Washington under
present conditions.
If there are to be more wave
lengths adopted In the Capital and
simultaneous broadcasts arranged,
let us have time to adjust our
selves for the phenomenon.
Election night is hardly the time
for exnerjments. which would null
lily the service to be rendered to a
large body Of faithful Washington
listeners.
When It comes to commenting on
the concerts OF the New York Phil.
harmonic Orchestra. the first one Of
which for this season was broad
cast last night by WCAP and
WEAF. we are never able to find
the right words. Perhaps it's the
