THE DATE OF
WASHINGTON'S
BIRTH

InLD records-what stories they can
" tell Sometimes full Of romance,
sometimes startling in their disclosures.
1t would seem that Washlngton's
birthday. observed for so many years
on February %, was a celebration
founded securely on accurate historical
facts Yet buried IN the family Bible
OF Washington's mother and written in
her own handwriting Is an entry which
makes one pause with surprise. There
she has clearly recorded the astounding
statement that George Washington
was born on February IL.
Certainly no one should know more
about this important event than Mrs.
Washington.
There 1t Is In black and white in
her own handwriting:
George Washington. son to Au-
gustine and Mary, HIS wife, was
bore ye 1.-the Of February. 1882,
about 10 In the morning. and was
baptised the Sd of April following.
Mr.. Beverley Whiting and Capt.
Christopher Brooks. godfafhers.
and Mrs. Mildred Gregory. god
mother.
Family Bibles, especially In those
times, were the last word in accuracy,
so this statement must be accepted as
indisputable.
BY the latter part Of the Sixteenth
century the calendar year had become
askew with the astronomical year. It
seemed important that 3 REIMBURSEMENT
be made and Pope Gregory XIII. after
careful consultation with the learned
men Of his time, decreed that in 1882
days-sheuid= be- dropped and 7ar=
ranged what has since been called the
Gregorian calendar. The mandate OF
the pope was followed that year by
Spain, Portugal. Italy and France. but
England would have none Of 1t and
continued on the basis OF the old cal
endar'for another century and a half.
Differences Of Eleven Days
BY 1852 in England the discrepancy !
had mounted up to IL days. and the
disadvantages Of two systems Of dates
was causing great annoyance. 1t was
necessary to date letters going from
England or her colonies TO France with
the days Of both systems; for instance,
February 1f-22. SO at last to avoid all
this confusion England officially adopt
ed the Gregorian calendar and decreed
that II days be omitted In the yesr
1852 between September 3 and Septem.
Der IA
SO for Washington, his birthday in
1853 and all succeeding years fell on
February %.
But there is another record which
throws light on what was probably the
first public recognition Of his birthday.
This time the record is in Ills own

MOTOR OVERHEATINR
ONE WINTER DANGER
Semmes Warns of Paradoxical Con-
dition in Cars to Be Guard
ed Against.

Cooling troubles in Winter motor
ing are largely due to overheating. in
the opinion of Raphael Semmes, presi-
dent of the Semmes Motor COMPANY
IT sounds like a paradox. he says.
but more engines and radiators are
damaged by excessive heat than by
Jack Frost.
In the preparation of Dodge cars
for Winter use Mr.. Semmes impresses
upon owners the Importance of guard
ing against the habit of so protecting
power plants against cold as to sub
ject them to excessive heat, and one
of the most important points he
brings out is the value of starting the
Winter season with the car in its
coolest possible condition.
This may sound very strange" he
explains. but it is not only logical.
but practical. If the car is not well
creased. and so drags, the normal
covering of the radiator to exclude
cold air may be such as to slightly
overhead the motor If you start with
cool-running car and motor you can
then add warming devices without
danger of offering too much protec-
ton.
Many car owners who know that
a rusty cooling system encourages
overheating in the Summer time.
seem to be under the impression
that this is an advantage in
Winter, whereas is is decided
disadvantage. The use of alco-
hol in the cooling system in Winter
lowers the boiling point. Any rust
that is in the system, therefore. serves
to retard the process of wiping away
the normal engine heat thus encour-
aging overheating.
with the modern conveniences
availa BILE today it is easier to keep an
engine warm in Winter than to keep
it cool once it develops a tendency to
overhead There is no better time for
remembering this than now"

MANY QUALIFICATIONS LISTED
FOR SAFE AUTOMOBILE DRIVER
Greatest Care Necessary to Avoid Accidents-Ca'
Should Be Checked Over Often for
Any Defects.

What are the qualifications of a
safe automobile driver?
The National Safety Council gives
the following answer to the question:
In order to be a safe driver the
Individual must be of good moral
character. possessed of all his senses,
understand his responsibility, have
conside ration for the rights OF others
and be able to act promptly. He
should know that the car is in such
condition that no accident will result
rom defective equipment. He should
refuse to operate a car which has
defective brakes for his own and
others safety: he should know by
actual application Of the brakes that
they function properly, so that,
should the occasion arise to use them,
he can depend upon them to stop
his car.
He should be sure to use skid
chains when it starts to rain or
snow or when desirable for safety
under other conditions, and should

thing. They see that though it is
more consistent to pass around a
traffic officer. just as one passes to
the right Of a silent" policeman and
avoids cutting corners at unprotected
intersections, the plan of passing
around the officer at every point
would hardly be possible.
These are the automobilists that
are developing and encouraging a
system OF uniformity in getting on
| 70 strange rules and regulations
From such progressive motorists may
come the newer and better ideas in
national uniformity
Since 1t is now impossible to have
the same traffic rules in all cities
and towns. uniformity in the system
OF sizing up strange conditions is en-
couraging plans that will aid the less
ooserVant driver. One suggestion
already advanced is that of mark
ing on all traffic signs full instruc-
ticns as to rules regarding turn
ing. With this aid the strange
driver woul know without having
to use his wits whether he should
go round the officer or in front
of him, just as he is informed in
many places that left. turns are not
| allowed.
With more specific instructions any
| lack of uniformity of traffic regula-
tions would be less troublesome to
the touring motorist and each city
could employ its most adaptable
and failing to gain their cooperation.
Touring Big Help.
Motorists, who tour extensively, be-
! come so versatile as to experience very
little difficulty in going from place
to place, which suggests that the
confusion experienced by the average
driver is largely due to his failure to
adopt system of getting on to new
things in traffic. There are a num-
ber of contingencies that arise in
| travelling over unfamiliar roads, but
the average driver seems to have a
system whereby he guards himself.
The same theory applied to traffic
would save him many an unpleasant
experience.
safe rule to go by when puzzled
in traffic is to signal to. the traffic
officer before attempting to go in any
uncertain direction. If he doesn't
want you to make a turn. or If you
are heading into one-way street
he'll direct you to go straight ahead
\ little system will save you a lot
of trouble.
If all States would post full in
structions at all points of entrance:
If all cities and towns would make
their specific regulations plain, and if
drivers would learn to catch on to
strange ideas quickly, actual uni
formity would not be necessary, and
each locality could proceed to COM
pete with its neighbor in an effort
to discover newer and better ideas
in regulations:

not pleasant for motoring, but there
are cold days when little rough
riding stirs up the blood and actually
proves acceptable. There arc times
when it is most enjoyable to hurry
and times when 1t is decidedly better
just to loaf along. The driver who
is out for pleasure and solid comfort
knows where to draw the line.
Many an evenings ride is spoiled
because the driver does not know
that dust on his windshield is tho
reason for the excessive binding of
headlights. Many a ride comes to
an unfortunate finale because the
driver has forgotten that a recent
rain made the back roads impossible
in places. Many ride is ruined be-
cause passengers forget that it's far
less of an annoyance to carry too
many wraps than to carry too few.

He should drive slowly and carefully

He should never count on them to

He should cooperate with the traf-

OBEY DETOUR SIGN.
Drivers Ahead May Ignore It, But
May Regret.

Don't be fooled into thinking that a
detour sign doesn't mean anything
because one or two other drivers
ahead of you seem to ignore it.
Many detours are posted with the
idea of taking care of through triffic.
thus allowing local motorists to use
that portion Of the main road where
the actual work is not being done.
To follow one Of these local motor
lists, who will in all probability turn
into his own private driveway before
reaching the torn up portion of the
road Is to run the risk of having to
go all the way back to where you
started and take the detour.

Just because a car travelling % miles

because with four-wheel brakes it
can stop within SS.6 feet, is no reason
to believe that stopping under such
circumstances is accomplished in ap-
proximately a second. This is pop

easily cleared up. AS soon as car

Have you ever noticed that one day
you can drive in the rain without
ever getting the body of the car
splashed with mud, while on another
day over the same roads your car will
be a sight? This is because on days
when the car is mud-splashed you do
not give other cars wide enough
berth when you overtake them. Their
hind wheels splash your car as you

Many drivers do not know at what
speed their engines develop best
power for road or hill conditions.
Some engines have great torque for
brilliant performance until the en-
gine is running at a much higher
speed. Some very small engines de-
velop high torque at low car speeds
because they are geared low and
run at very high speeds, while others
cannot show pulling power until the
car is rolling at a much faster rate.
The problem for each motorist is to
find out at what car speed his engine
reveals the greatest pulling power
