Place for Everything.

Not every motorist is content to
hide the tools. the jack and the vari-
Gus other car necessities under the
front seat. Some people believe in
using them.
To do this, however. il is necessary
to find convenient places in which 10
carry the tools. The reason most
motorists leave the repair equipme mt
where the manufacturer originally
put il is because they cannot seem to
tnd a better place to carry the equip
ment ZEN masse." But why carry the
tools all in one place? It's usually
in certain places.
For instance, one driver finds that
the monkey-wrench and the screw
driver are two OF the most essential
keep things tight, the spark plug
clean. the clutch adjusted and the
horn In tune by having these two ar
ticles handy. The result is that he
carries them in the side pocket next
the driving seat. where he can always
obtain them without inconveniencing
any one.
He discovers that there was a very
excellent place for the tire Jack on
the right side of the engine compart-
ment. BY placing it a certain way
il interferes with nothing, yet Is in
stantly available when needed.
The rods for the rain curtains both
cred him until he discovered that they
would be conveniently out OF the way
IL placed under the tonneau floor mat
at point where the mat Is not
walked on. 1t solved that problem.
These, and many more. he stumbled
upon after using the car for three
years. proving beyond "A doubt that
finding a place for everything is a
matter of observation. Look around
your car. Maybe some bright idea
will occur to you.

Physical and Mental Examination
for Drivers Likely.

BALTIMORE. June What is re-
garded here as the first step in plan
for uniform automobile regulations
throughout the United States came to
light yesterday in a letter received by
Automobile Commissioner E. Austin
Baughman from Herbert Hoover, Sec
retary of Commerce.
The letter asks Commissioner
Baughman to serve on a committee
composed largely of state automobile
commissioners for the collection of
data on the causes OF automobile ac-
Gidents in the country
Later in this year, the letter inti-
mates, the Committee, after it has fin
ished the work of collecting infor-
nation, may be asked to meet in Mr..
Hoovers office in Washington to pre-
pare tentative regulations for all
states.
Physical and Mental Tests.
These regulations would be along
the lines already adopted by Mary
land under the direction of Commits
sioner Baughman, to include a more
careful examination into the physical
and mental ability of applicants for
automobile licenses
Commissioner Baughman sent let
terS to the automobile commissioners
of the District of Columbia, Pennsyl-
vania, Indiana, Ohio, Virginia and
West Virginia asking their co-opera-
ton in Maryland's drive to do away
with obscure markers on automobiles.

man explained that he is desirous of

Honeymoon Highway.

Another June p:oves that the motor
car has upset another conventionality.
This time it is the honeymoon.
Time was when the bride and groom
boarded the train for Niagara Falls
or took the night boat for Albany.
But times have changed. Now the
bride and groom step into the smart
coupe and see both Niagara and the
Hudson, with all points in between
and around
The honeymoon express has given
way to the honeymoon highway. that
long ribbon of the road that takes the
newlywedS wherever they want to go,
not only on the honeymoon trip itself
but throughout life.
No modern bride considers herself
as having made a good catch if her
hero fails to produce sparkling new
bus for the grand. glorious occasion.
And no groom is entirely satisfied
with his selection unless the girl OF
his dreams asks him what kind OF q
car he is going to buy her. This
keeps the groom hustling: and hustle
keeps the wheels moving.
Honeymoon highway, however, can
be a lot more satisfactory all around
If both parties won't try to hold the
wheel at the same time. The road is
not any too troubleproof. and If the
pair are conSiderate at all times lot
of the dangerous curves and rough
roads can be passed without difficulty.
On the honeymoon express the new
lyweds merely paid the fare and let
George attend to the safety. Nova
days it's different.
Not that any one wants TO throw
cold water over as delightful a pic
ture as the honeymoon highway with
it's rice covered coupeS. Just warn
ing motor honeymoon is no safer
than it's pilot Good luck be with you,
honey eymoonerS-meaning good sense.

Three Touring Tips.

When caught in a heavy rain and
forced to stop select a location where
the car will not be on the level so
that the water will run off the top
instead of collecting in puddles and
soaking into 1t. Stand the car with
the front end higher than the rear SO
that the water will drain of to the
rear instead of running down onto
the hood and possibly into the engine
Inverted forks in the road are like
ly to throw you off your course when
retracking your treads over a road
you think you are familiar with. AS
you first cover the road you do not
notice that any roads lead into it
from the right or left, for your at
tention Is on making your choices of
forked roads leading in the direction
of travel. Coming back over this
same road it is an easy matter to run
Oft into one of the unrecorded invert-
ed forks, thereby getting hopelessly
lost.
In packing their luggage too many
motor tourists forget that the grips
are to be lined up along the running
board, as a general rule, and that the
contents will be sadly disarranged
unless the heavy articles are put in so
as to be at the bottom. Where a trunk
rack is used and the grips are placed
on their sides it is well to figure out

AUTO CLUB RESENTS
'PROPAGANDA' STORY
California Organization Deplores
Reports Rejecting on Stats
Quarantine Conditions.

Reports reaching the Automobile
club of Southern California indicate
that propaganda rejecting seriously
the country. chiefly by auto tourists
who were inconventenced by the
quarantine regulations in effect there
some weeks ago.
With the end in view Of providing
authentic information regarding the
situation there as it exists today, the
following authorized and accurate state
ment is issued:

MIA atheists This is still in effect
but it is expected that with the steady
decline and probable early elimina
tion of the disease, this embargo will
be lifted soon.
when the disease first developed
in Southern California the automo
bile club co-operated with the au-
thorities in eliminating all unneces-

'In view of the fact that the whole

Saving gas is often matter of
learning to keep your foot on the ac-
celerator. Many motorists do not
realize 1t, but the more weight OF the
foot. or nervous tension, On the ac
celerator when waiting in traffic is
sufficient to give the engine more gas
than it needs. When driving down
grade where engine power is not
needed many drivers Will keep their
foot on the accelerator even though
the ignition has been switched on.
Feeding gas with ignition on Is all
right If additional compressor is de-
sired as means of checking the
speed of the car, but ordinarily it is
just a matter OF waste.

The universal joints are designed
with the idea OF lettin' the power

dr1ve to the rear was rigid somethin'
would break sure, so the engineers
put in joints to cover the situation.
Well, that's all right for normal trav-
elm when roads are just ordinarily
rough, but when a driver tries to
force his car over a bad piece Of road
1t means that he is asking the univer-
sails to go the limit.
This is the time in his drivin' when
he ought to go very slow or throw
out his clutch and coast. The uni
versals amt the only parts that suf-
Ter. Both transmission and rear end
gears get strained 'cause the wheels
are bangin' around tryin' to stop
while the engine has full steam ahead.
All the roller bearin's get the same
sort of strain.
A lot Of drivers don't seem to even
need rough road to shoot the rear.
They get just about as good results
by sudden acceleration. and then
again by sudden stoppin' while the
clutch is still engaged.
II there ever was such a thing as
a happy medium, I've said 1t. I think
if drivers would look on the. rear
