"As striking example of such de-

on Long Island in the suburban area
or New York might be pointed out.
This community has been entirely
developed by one railway system and
the motor car. In 1917 there were
ll.S2S motor cars registered in this
community. In 1923 there were 51,-
673 motor cars registered The num-
Der of dwellings increased in the

You will find the greatest auto

URGES CAUTION EVEN
AFTER EMERGENCY
Auto Association Official Points to
Likelihood of Dangers
Recurring.

Just because the pedestrian has
passed out of the way of your car is
no reason why you should not sound
your horn, in the opinion of Ernest
Smith, general manager of the Ameri-
expresses the belief that the future
of motoring is largely dependent upon
making it safer for all interests.
Too many drivers assume, he says.
that because danger appears to be
passed they are not obliged to sound
their horns or be cautious.
"The trouble with this sort of rea-
soning,' points out Mr.. Smith, 'is
that one fails to consider the possi-
bility of an immediate repetition of
one equally menacing.
Hard to Stop in Time.
"The other day / was standing on
the street corner watching traffic go
by. A woman started crossing the
street Just as machine came along.
She did not notice the car, but the
driver noticed her and was just on
the point of sounding his horn and
applying his brakes when he saw
that she should by all rules of veloc-
ity step out of his way by the time
he reached the place of crossing But
of the street a car that was coming
in the opposite direction, and that
was being forced by a reckless driver
to pass everything else on the street
forced her to step back a few feet.
1t was then that the driver of the
first car appreciated the necessity of
always assuming a repetition of a
hazard. 1t was all he could do to
stop in time to avoid hitting this
pedestrian.
'In driving about Washington !
notice that it is the custom for the
majority of drivers not to sound their
horns if a car has just come out of a
side street and crossed in front of
them. If no traffic crosses in front of
them they will be particularly eau
tious, but if one danger has passed
they do not seem to figure on an i'm
mediate repetition.
Same Danger Twice.
zone driver, for instance, in ap-
preaching a crossroad on the out
skirts of the city just narrowly
missed running into a car that dart
ed across in front of his path. He
breathed a sigh of relief to think
that the danger was passed, but il
was a very brief sigh. The next mo-
ment motor truck also darted in
front of him. 1t was too late to
avoid hitting this.
Here was a case of driver being
too much absorbed in danger passed
and not sufficiently interested in
avoiding what might be in store for
him. The sensible driver, in my opin-
ion, is always primarily interested in
avoiding what might happen

Woo Ting Fang, the famous and

First Lighthouse Was
Erected by Egyptians

To Egypt belongs the credit of the
erection of the first lighthouse on rec
ord, namely, the tower built on the
island of Pharos at the mouth of Alex
andria harbor, by that most enlight-
ened ruler, Ptolemy II, about $50
years before the Christian era. This
tower was 100 feet high, and stood as
a monument to an ancient civilization
until the Fourteenth century, when it
was washed away by the sea. Its light
consisted of an open fire Of burning
wood, and the same practice was fol-
lowed in all subsequent lighthouses
until the beginning of the Seventeenth
century. Even as late as 1870 the
South Foreland lighthouse was merely
a large beacon fire of coal. The ia,
nous Eddystone lighthouse In 1853,
was lit by ten pounds of tallow cam
dies, a clock being provided to ring a
bell every half hour to remind the
keeper to snuff them. In 1763 oil lamps
with refectors were used for the light
ing of the Mersey channel, and after
the invention of the Argand burnerS20
years later oil became the standard
illuminant. Mineral oil was intro
duced in 1872, and the Commemorative
wicks of the Argand burner in due
course gave way to the incandescent
mantle, which now furnishes the light
for all the most important lighthouses
of the world.
