A. Els HELD
BANQUET LAST
FRIDAY NIGHT

On last Friday night, the last even
ing of the Rawlins rodeo, the Sigma
Alpha Epsilon fraternity members
held a banquet at the Rotary Lions
room at the Ferris hotel, with rs
men being present. This fraternity
has many local boys in the fraternity
most of them having been initiated
at the chapter in Wyoming. Wyoming
Alpha located at Laramie. How
ever, this summer there have been
several members working at the re-
finery at Parco and with several of
the late high school boys the group
would seem to indicate that Rawlins
is a Sig Alph town.
The banquet started at 1880 with
Karl Kruger, a former Rawlins boy
as POSTMASTER. Two Wyoming Uni
versity alumnae, Ole johnson and
Donald Hunton, arrived in Rawlins
that evening from Laramie to attend
the affair. Five guests, John Eng
strom, AL Toole, Arnold Larsen and
Carl and Jack Bugas of Wamsutter
were invited and at the table their
heads were counted as among those
present. Under the supervision of
Mr.. Geo. Nicol, the popular Ferris
steward, a delightful dinner was
served and along with several fra
ternity songs and selections on the
piano by AL Toole, the banquet was
considered a big success and good
send-off for the rushees who are 60
ing to college this year.
The lsit of members were: Karl
Kruger. Marian Quick. John Lip
pold, Cyril Fox, Franklin DeForest,
Milo Tucker, Lawrence Eastman, S.
Stanfield. Bud Howard all of whom
work at Parco. The Rawlins men,
bers were: Pat and Ted O'Melia,
Harry Anderson, w. ANDY" Clifford,
Art Dennison, Kim Breitenstein,
Chris Larsen and w. l.. Alcorn. Nell
son Corbett, a Sig Alph pledge who is
now working in Wamsutter also at
tended the banquet. The guests who
were present were: Al Toole, Arnold
Larsen, Carl and Jack Bugas and
John Engstrom.
The invitations were sent out and
arrangements for the dinner were
made by Harry Anderson who is sec
rotary of the fraternity at Laramie.

|0LD DRIVERS MUST PROVIDE
EXAMPLE TO THE new Corners
Beginner at Wheel of Car Tries to Emulate
What Older Men Do Seasoned
Autoist Has Responsibility

"The experienced driver has a
unique role to play this spring If
he earnestly desires to see conditions
improved. He must recognize, first
of all, that the newcomer represents
a hazard to him and that 1t is al
ways to his advantage to keep away
from the beginner. The beginner
does not know enough to keep out
of the experienced drivers way. So
there Is only one answer.
1.-THE experienced driver can do
real service to the country by giving
the newcomer every possible ad-
ing rights and being Inconvenience.
Safety is worth everything.
'Tt is often the experienced driver
who leads the newcomer astray by
making conditions more complicated
than they SHOULD be. Everyone is a
beginner sometime, and the exper-
fenced motorist should bear in mind
that the more assistance he gives to
the newcomer the sooner the latter
will cease being a menace.
IF the seasoned motorist will do
everything in his power to keep his
driving above reproach 1t Is a fore
gone conclusion that the new drivers
will be impressed with their short
comings and therefore make every
attempt to make the grade.
"a lot of beginners have come to
think that it's quite all right to cut
corners, speed in the city, pass
standing street cars and fail to horn
at crossings just because they see
that people moro experienced are
doing these very things. 1t Is a d.
rect cause OF automobile and pedes-
TRAN accidents and evidence aplenty
that safety education of the practi-
cal sort must be initiated by those
who are naturally regarded as ex-
amples.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1924-04-12

Excessive use of horns by half the
motorists and excessive neglect OF
morning on the part of the remand
er may bring about regulation of the
use OF horns. This is the conclusion
drawn from recent remarks made by
authorities who have noted the direct
relationship between unwise horning
and accidents.
Horning Is required by law for
highway travel, as when passing an
other car or approaching crossing
but 1t is now held that something
more definite in the way of horn
regulation is necessary, particularly
with respect to city use.
The trouble, in the opinion of
one prominent police Official is
largely due to the fact that no law
states exactly when the horn warn
ing should be given, how long II
be repeated. AS he explains, this
results in highly illogical use of
horns, with drivers running to every
possible extreme.
A plan is needed, he believes,
whereby drivers will sound their
horns at the right time and place,
1t being necessary perhaps to mark
on the street paving the words,
Horn here" just as white lines are
now used to mark safety zones for
pedestrians.
1t has also been suggested that
horning be considered in the same
way that speed Is regulated. Excess
sive horning that results in a
nuisance would be n misdemeanor

The Old Mechanic Says:

With this spring rush of work on
hand i guess 1t won't be cutt1n' my
head off to tell you how to keep
from havin' trouble when you've run
little shy of water and the engine
starts overheatin'.
When anything like this happens
the first thing to do is to stop and
switch off the ignition. You should
raise the hood to see II the fan belt
is tight enough, but you don't have
to let the engine go on heatin' up In
the meantime. Test the belt by see
ing IL II. offers any resistance to the
turnin' of the fan by hand. Then
make sure you've got enough Oil.
And next look under the car to see
that the radiator drain cock amt
/ leakin.
Satisfied that you need water. and
rothin else, you can usually get to
the next garage without damagin'
the power plant If you'll do every
thin to keep the old bus cool.
You've allowed 'er to cool a little
during the investigation. Good
enough. Now see what you can do
on the run.
I'd say run at a speed that will
sort of keep the car rollin'. That is,
don't poke along and don't force 'er.
In poking, the engine Is always
tryin' to overcome a drag, and be-
cause there isn't much air going
through the radiator fins the system
is sure to overhead to a point where
you'll have to stop. If you force
the car it requires more power
which means more gas burnin' in the
cylinders and more heat.
Everytime YOU go downhill shut
off the ignition and keep the car in
gear This will circulate the water
and cool the engine better and more
evenly than to let 'er idle and coast.
Run with spark fully advanced. Get

ond gear or slow runnin' in high.
Stop as often as time will permit,

With sales Of new motor cars run
ming upward at record-breaking
rate throughout the country. the
American Automobile Association
will ask all experienced drivers to
set a good example to the neWcom-
err at this time when 1t appears that
traffic safety is the most important
motor necessity. it was announced
in bulletin just issued from A. A.
A. headquarters at Washington.
Ernest n. Smith, general manager
of the A. A. A., declares that there
was never a better opportunity 10
put every experienced drivers COM
plant against recklessness TO the
acid test. He points out that the
new driver is naturally initiative and
that if the people who have had ex-
perience with driving will set a de-
cent example considerable progress
will be made in the work of SAFE
guarding the highways.
This is in line with the A. A. AS
policy of solving the safety problem
by natural means.
1.-THE average driver is always
complaining because the newcomer
does senseless things when at the
wheel but seldom realizes that ne is
often leading the newcomer into be-
ing his own stumbling block Smith
says. UNLESS the seasoned drivers
take particular care to see that they
do the right thing at the right time
the unskilled driver will not know
when he is taking chances.
Every newcomer at the wheel of
an automobile sets out to do as the
Romans do. and if the Romans con-
tinue to take chances we shall have
the usual number of grade crossing
catastrophes and other inexcusable
accidents and fatalities incident to
careless motoring.

Lesson from Accidents

One day this winter the driver of
n light delivery car learned a les
son that is worth passing along to
the rest of the motoring fraternity!
He was coming out of a side
street. and by the law of the State
had the right of way. Nearing the
crossing he noticed a machine COM
ing at rather smart clip along the
intersecting street. But since this
machine was approaching from the
left the driver of the delivery car
assumed that the other driver would
recognize the rights of the man to
the right and slow down. So the
driver of the delivery car started to
cross over only to find himself

limits of New York City as there
are in all of Great Britain. This
does not include the enormous
volume of traffic entering New York
City from the New England and the
middle Atlantic States. The only
thing the London fatality statistics
prove is that better understanding
Of the safe operation, use and
regulation of the automobile is need
ed, since but Is OF the 1853 London
fatalities involved non mechanically
propelled vehicles, and that New
York must of necessity be already
making progress in this direction.
Two. Parking Pointers
When stopping the car at a point
where there is a question as to the
legality of parking the driver should
remain awhile at. the wheel and al
low the engine to run. If criticised
by the police for his action the fact
that his engine Is running helps him
put over the story that he was
simply stopping, not parking. There
Is difference.
Never park the car in such a way
that the rear end is further from the
curb than the font, except where
angle parking Is the rule. Leaving
the car in this position not only
makes 1t extremely difficult for any,
one to park in a space behind your
car, but increases the probability of
their decorating the left rear fender
of your car.

Making Your Getaway

There is no secret about a quick
getaway in traffic. The trouble with
the majority of drivers is that they
are too anxious. This means that
they give 'er too much gas, re-
sulting in the necessity of slowing
down for fear of ramming into the
rear of the car ahead. While the
speed of the car is decreasing they

the same as reckless driving. Any
driver who sounded his horn in such
way as to brighten a pedestrian
into helpIessness would be treated
as though he had rushed up to him
at top speed.
1t would seem that a lot Of i'm
provement in horning is necessary,
and it is to be hoped that the pres
ent agitation will result in more in
telligent horning. Clearly a warning
about warnings.

secured it will be loose after the

blanket so as not to scratch the

Worth Rememberinu

The life of a cord tire is not in
the tread but in the side walls. If
the walls develop a crack as a result
of underinflation, riding on tire
when fiat or striking sharp obstruc-
tons such as curbstones, the inner
tube will be continually pinched, re-
sulting in one puncture after an
other with further breaks in the
walls of the shoe.
Blowout patches can be success
fully used in cord tires for city use.
On the road, however, increased
speed and rough riding tend to de-
range the patch. causing it either to
expose the tube to the break in the
shoe or pinch the tube itself.
Is your bumper properly attached
to the front of the car? Many
bumpers are put on hastily. or by
amateurs, so that in a collision they
would be useless. Test your bumper
