direction and obviously putting on
brakes does not help.
New drivers frequently get scar
ed when the car starts to skid AMI
throw out the clutch and apply
the brakes. This is fatal, as they
have deprived themselves of all
control of the wheels at the very
moment they need 1t most. Keep
the power on the wheels.
Brakes are frequently the cause
of skidding. If the brakes are not
accurately adjusted; that is IL one
side holds tighter than the, other,
the action set up actually induces
"a skid. Correct adjustment Of the
brakes Is a preventive of skidding.
Skidding frequently occurs in
descending a grade. The best cure
here is to run down hill in first
or second gear and use the brakes
just occasionally to keep the car
from gathering too much speed.
Apply the brakes gently and then
release them. Do this at intervals
and the car always will be under
control and danger of skidding will
be minimized.
Street car tracks cause many
skids. A rubber tire on slippery
metal has an obvious tendency to
slide. When you are caught with
all four wheels in the car tracks,
the way to get out is to turn the
front wheels short over, having
slowed down as much as possible
and after they are free of the rails
straighten up gently. This will pull
the rear wheels out without
skid.
Sand is a dangerous maker Of
skids. A car travelling at speed and
striking a patch of deep, loose sand
may pillow through and may not,
but the driver must keep the wheels
perfectly straight. Just figure it
out yourself. If you run swiftly
into loose sand and suddenly turn
the front wheels, the sand grips
them, twists the, front Of the car
and the heavy fear end continues
straight ahead. / have known Of
cars that were turned over, not
once but two or three times, in this
way. Be careful; deep sand is dan
gerous.

demand for cars that will offer sde.
quate accommodation for luggage"
reads the w. A. +. A. report. This
is the result of more extensive
travelling by motor. People do not
want to be bothered wondering how
they are going to carry their be-
longing when on tour. and many
of them who bought cars with the
idea OF not travelling extensively are
finding that they would profit by
making a change.
The town car has fooled many
a mot0rist. People have bought
cars that were only suited to city
use only to find that there is such
q thing as the lure Of the open
road. Now they are ready to trade
in their cars for LARGER, better and
more practical machines OF both
open and closed types.
Open Car Coming Back!
MANY sales will be made as a
result of what the trade now rec
ognizes as a swing back to the
open car. The growing popularity
Of the closed car is in no way
Threatened, but many people who
can afford more than one car see
certain advantages in the airy open
job. and are buying it to supple.
ment their closed car service.
This Is particularly noticeable

among the so-called sporty elo-
ment who, as matter Of fact.
were largely responsible for the
adoption OF the automobile. The
people who were game enough to
buy the early cars are now going
in for fashionable open jobs. par
ticuiarly in the roadster class. Fail
touring accentuates this trend.
The public is always interested
in mechanical changes and innova-
tons. The spirit Of America Is
progressivensss. and the motorist
likes to be the first to try some
thing new. There is SO much new
this summer that a big buying sea-
son is certain to follow. All these
factors, combined with the usual
fall demand for closed cars, indicate
sales for the latter half Of the
year sufficient to make 1924 the
big year as predicted"

SERlNONETTE

THAN ONE
Prepared by tthe Public Informal
tiqn Committee OF the Washing-
ton Automotive Trade Associa-
TOM

Many man doesn't realize how
much it costs him tc monopolize
the wheel of his car.
When he is the only driver in
the family the car is useful only
when he has the time to drive it,
which is the same rs saying that
he has to pay for many Of the cars
idle moments.
You're not saving money when
you keep the car in the garage and
send your daughter or your wife
on their various errands via taxi
On street car. 1t is form of trans
portation extravaganza that can be
avoided by your being little more
generous with the wheel.
OF course you are justified in as
Stunning that they might not drive
the car as you do. In all probable
ity the difference will be that
they'll drive it better.
Give them chance. Suppose
they do take off a fender or two
In learning. You've got to make
some, sort of investment if you
want to enjoy better returns on
your transportation.
Many man finds that he has
been in the habit of making costly
mistakes-after his wife has learned
the ropes and asked few signif-
iGant questions. Many man finds
that his own family can be service
able to him as chauffeur just as he
has been serviceable to them.
A monopoly of the wheel is often
a monopoly of the expense. Two
transportation heads in a family are
better than one.

Many Factors At Work To

Who will buy automobiles this

The sales committee of the Wash

in way that should interest the

According to the committee,a re-

port there are a number of psyche
logical factors at work to stimulate
sales beyond the fondest hopes of
some Of the most enthusiastic MEM
bers Of the automotive trade. It IS
pointed out, for instance, that hum

holding off on the purchase Of a
new car in expectation Of having

they wait a while longer. Now, it
is said. the motoring public is aware
that there is always something new
on the market and that waiting is,
therefore, a useless process, as in
the purchase of anything else that
is needed.
One Buying Force.
One Of the most important buying
forces due for the early fail. as
analysed by the w. A. 4. A., is a
combination of two viewpoints with
regard to the purchase of a new
car Some people prefer to summer
with the old car, using it roughly
and in localities where a new car

postpone their vacationing until the
fall, do not buy the new car until

those, who will be active buyers be

Correction Work Will Be

Named by NJ. P. H. A.

Maine is Undertaking an impor-
tant project, the relieving Of handi-
caps OF the crippled children OF the
State. Last year the State commits

sus Of crippled children, between the
ages of 3 and 81. at. the time the
school census was taken. This was
probably the first attempt at a
State wide survey OF physically
handicapped children ever under
taken. The purpose of 1t was to re-
ccive the names, location and nature
Of defect Of persons between IL and
II years of age for the rehabilita :
ton division of the State Department
of Education.
In September 1928 the work for
crippled children was made part
OF the child health division Of the
Maine Public Health Association and
in December the project came to the
attention, of the American Child
Health Association of New York
who sent an agent to Maine to eX-
anime the lists and to study the
situation. While considerable work
has been done throughout the Unit
ed States, Maine is the first to init
ate a systematic Statewide survey
ana program OF relief work. The
census taken last year resulted in Sc
curing the names of q large number
of crippled children, but 1t was not
in sufficient detail nor was 1t en-
tirely complete.
Blanks for the complete survey this
year are already in the hands OF the
$40 school superintendents of the
State who will direct the work along
with the usual school census. The
cooperation Of all interested local Or
ganizations with the school author
tiles is requested and urged.
When the lists of crippled children
arc complete the work Of correction
will be undertaken through a series
