RECKLESS DRIVERS

In bulletin just issued by the trai-
fic committee of the American Auto
mobile Association motorists are
given timely warning against con-
fusing the "road hog" with the in
experienced driver whose lack OF
courtesy or recklessness may be un-
Intentional.
According to the A. A. A. paper
every spring brings its list of pre-
ventable accidents as a result of ex-
perienced drivers mistaking uninten-
tionaI for wilful recklessness and
violation of rules of the road
AS a result of several recent inves-
LEGATIONS into accidents causes in
which 1t 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 motorists
some suggestions as to safeguarding
car users through better understand
ing between drivers.
Whenever a driver seems to be
plHB tllG ilSIt VI way dl tH luLcl-
section when he is not entitled to do
so 1t is safer to assume that he or
she is inexperienced and not wilfully
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

he has to apply them. The expert
enced driver who leads the beginner
into believing that the only way to
learn to drive is to enter heavy traf-
fic and "sink or swim" is only en-
couraging the worst form of reck-
lessness.
The wilfully reckless driver NAV
change his mind at the last moment
and avoid trouble simply because he
drives well enough to know how to
avoid it, but the inexperienced driver
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 motorist cannot afford 70
mistake ordinary inexperience for will
full recklessness. The man in the
powerful phaeton who passes you at
a dangerous point on the hill may be
simply someone who does not fully
appreciate the risks he is taking. If
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 if he tries to pass and shows
signs of getting caught between your
car and a machine coming down hill,
and apply your brakes cautiously
when he is following you in traffic.
1t means that at every curve in the
road you should sound your horn, be-

WHAT THE AUTO HAS DONE

Buried in country newspaper
weekly we find this item: 1.-The auto
mobile is said to have had a great
whole, than any invention since man
discovered fire and cooked meat"
In a general way. this is true. The
auto has released imprisoned man
from his geographical boundaries. 1t
puts the world at his door. Most i'm
portant of all, it enables modern man
to get out of the city into the coun-
try with it's fresh, pure air. That is
the real function of the auto, not
speed.
The airplane will complete the job.

Wheat Drop Did
Not Materially
Cut Price Bread

Washington. May 4-The big 1922
slump in wheat prices brought less
than a two percent decrease in the
price of bread, the federal trade
commission declared today in re-
port on its investigation of the
wheat flour milling industry.
From January. 1919. to september
1922, the price of flour in the north
west decreased 33 percent and in the
southwest. I3 percent, the report
said. Wheat prices declined 80 and
80 percent respectively. in the two
districts. It added. but the decrease
in bread cost was only two percent
except in Kansas City where price
war brought Il Is percent drop.
The commission reported that
certain trade association tried 10
hamper the inquiry Immediately aft
or it was launched and charged that
the Millers' National Federation. the
leading association Of the flour mill
ing industry. told its members they
had the right to refuse to answer the
cost and profits missionaries sent
out by the commission, and advised
them not to open their books to the
commission. Despite these occur
rences. the report said, the millers
accorded every aid to the commits
sion.
4 constant concentration in the
-four milling industry since 1924,
was noted in the report. Thirty per-
cent of the mills operating in 1914
have gone out of business, it said
despite the fact that since that year
production has increased Sc percent.
EXPANSION of some mills and mergers
of others was declared responsible
for this concentration.

try for use in specially designating
