til yOu hit the ball Many players
think of holding the head still as
something that is done while the
club is taken back. 1 should say
1t lis more important by far to hold
it still while the club iS swung
forward. The instant you let your
head move forward, with the down
swing, you rob your c1ubhead of
velocity. You lose acceieYntion of
the clubhead, the one thing to
strive for. Fix your mind on the
ball, maintain your grip and hold
yo1r head right there until the
eIuDhead cracks. When you look
mp, after that, You will be agree
ably surprised to see the ball sail
ing straight and true. Try to see
the ciubhead go through the ball
on every shot.

HANDLING WIRE WHEELS.
Proper Understanding of spokes
Important in Making
AligumentS.

To true wire wheels, always true
the diameter first This is controlled
by the center and back spokes. At
the same time bring up the tension
of the front spokes or they will loosen
up while you are working on the CEN
ter and back spokes. The front
spokes control the side OF the rim as
well as the position of the hub shell
from the back of the rim, and can be
used to bring the hub shell down to
proper position. The front spokes
should be as tight as the center and
the back spokes. If they are tighter
they will throw the wheel out and
have a tendency to spring the shell
out of true. Do not put too much
tension on the spokes until the wheel
Is true.
Should the spokes in wheel to be
trued up be badly rusted, drop some
kerosene oil or rust remover on each
spoke by the nipple and also on the
head of the nipple where it goes into
the rim and leave overnight. In the
morning adjust the wrench on the
nipple and while moving it tap the
spoke This will usually loosen the
nipple. If too tight, cut out the old
spoke and lace in a new spoke and
nipple.

PSYCHOLOGY EMPLOYED
TO TEST AUTO DRIVERS
4ethod Of Determining What Car
Operator Will Do in an
Emergency.

Psychological tests now tell what
automobile drivers will do in an
emergency. according to Richard E.
kropf of the Royal Arcanum. Mr..
kropf, who is an expert on accident
prevention, tells of experiments per-
formed in the laboratories of the
Yellow Cab Company, Chicago, to de-
termine whether an applicant for a
drivers position was qualified for
the post.
1T has been proved that some types
OF individuals cannot drive cars" he
says. Psychology is now picking
these men out when they seek en-
ployment from large corporations
employing drivers. The result means
elimination OF the 8 per cent of all
drivers said to cause practically all
Of our automobile accidents.
The nrst tests are similar to those
used in the United States Army
Then follow tests for steadiness Of
hand and eye, color reactions, sound
reactions and experiments tending to
show the general alertness Of the
prospective driver
Another test employs a device
consisting OF an electrical apparatus
mounted on a table in a darkened
room. Pedals correspond to the
clutch, brake and gas accelerator of
an automobile, as well as the hand
control switch. The applicant is seat
ed before the table and told to plug
In wires at small keyboard. With
out warning. a loud buzzer is set off.
together with several brilliant rays.
The nerve fear reactions of the man
at the keyboard indicate what he
would do in case of sudden danger
while at the wheel"
The Royal Arcanum has assumed an
international safety campaign as part
Of its public duty" Mr.. Kropf states.

BALLOONS NEED CARE,
ScrapinS Against Curb to Be
Avoided,

While it is true that being flexible
and under very low air pressure, full
balloon tires are not damaged by
striking obstructions. even on the side
walls, care should be exercised to
prevent scraping the sides against
the curb. The walls arc thin and
their flexibility is no protection
against scraping and chafing.
See that your jack Is capable of
giving the car the extra lift neces-
sary for removing a fat balloon tire.
1t may be well to carry a small block
OF wood in the tool kit to fit under
the jack. in event of tire change in
soft ground.
Just as in the case of cord tires air
pressure should be varied to fit the
road and load conditions. Increasing
the pressure for greater loads and
balancing such changes with due con-
sideration for the condition of the
roads to be travelled.

Torque, Mysterious
Word in AutOdO1,,,
Is N0,U Explained

In shopping around for a new
car you may hear a lot about
torque. that mysterious something
that very few people know very
much about. To start with, re-
member that torque is turning ef-
fort" and that as such it Is q form
Of energy. Torque Is not the same
as horsepower, because in the lat
ter the element of time is consid-
cred. A one-horsepower engine is
capable of doing $4,000 foot
pounds Of work per minute. 1t is
torque more than horsepower that
determines whether an engine
pulls best at low, medium or high
speed. Engineers can determine
the horsepower of an engine
from a knowledge Of it's torque.

KEEP CRANKCASE CLEAR.
Water Accommodating, Mixes With
Oil, Forming Emulsion.

Few motorists realize that a COM
paratively large quantity Of water
gradually accumulates in the crank
case, mixing with the oil and forming
an emulsion, which has impaired lu-
bricating qualities. This accumula-
ton of water is more pronounced in
Winter than in Summer, and is found
to a greater extent as the number of
cylinders increase. This brings out
the Importance of changing the oil
every 1000 miles, and for the best
lubricating results every 500 miles, in
which case the old oil may be run
through a chamois skin to remove the
water, after which it may be used
again.

MARYLAND PARKING RULE.
Hating on Curves and Grades to
Be Prohibited.

BALTIMORE, August 16.-Parking
of automobiles on curves and grades
on Maryland State roads will be pro-
hibited by the State Roads Commits
sion. according to an announcement
bv John N Mackall. chairman. The
prohibition will apply at all places
where white center road lines have
been painted on the roadways.
Decision to prohibit parking at
such points was caused by the num-
ber of accidents due to partial block
aiding of roadways by parked We
hicles, Mr. Mackall said.
Signs are now prepared and 1900 of
them will be placed as soon as pos
sible. The signs are black and white,
and bear the following legend: mo
