Touring Days and Daze

Touring may take one out over
the board expanse of the open
country, far from the maddening
traffic. but It has its little dangers
nevertheless. One of these is known
as touring daze. a sort of stupidity
that comes over a driver after he
has driven a hundred miles or so
without being obliged to use his
wits. When he enters a town he
proceeds at his touring gait and
with the same disregard for de-
tails. II he Is fortunate something
in the way of a near accident will
bring him out of his stupor before
something serious happens.
1t is. in reality. form OF stupor.
The air, the motion of the car and
the lights on the roads cast by the
sun through riffs in the dense
foliage of the mountain country
combine to dull the drivers sensi-
bilities to a point where he thinks
he is acting with trigger alertness
If he stops in time to avoid hitting
a car that turns into the road five
hundred feet ahead. He would con-
tribute much to the safety of tour
ing Il he would stop the car,
stretch and start off with sharpened
wits when entering towns that are
at the flag end of the trip.

II I could follow these drivers 1t

OF choked up cylinders the way he's
keepin' that crankcase overloaded

More About Balloons

AS time rolls on and the balloon
tires begin rolling off the miles motor
lists, manufacturers and tire makers
are coming to know about them. Also
the tire repairers. And the men who
are having the experience are feady
to offer a few conclusions. Some of
these may guide the car buyer in
deciding what sort Of tires to put on
his new machine. They are:
The siX-ply balloon is more
practical than the four though
sacrificing extremes comfort. Semi
balloone in four ply are not strong
enough to withstand striking sharp
distractions and carry too much air
to enable the side walls to yield to
distractions as in the case of true
balloons. Unless properly rein
forced at the beading semi balloons
may rim cut. Spring controlling
devices are required for satisfactory
results from all balloons. Medium
weight cars allow an annoying wall
action in four-ply balloons. Balloons
will be built stronger in the future
and will become standard even If
they continue to use more gas, for
they are safer.

Lessons From Accidents

What was generally regarded as
a freak accident occurred recently
in an eastern town. Somehow or
other the driver himself is not
certain) the electric starter began
pulling the car when in gear, and
the result was that driver. car and
all went through the side of bridge
and into stream twenty-five feet
below. BY some happy chance the
driver escaped without a scratch,
but unfortunately he does not
seem to have any theory as to why
he should have permitted such a
thing to happen. He claims that he
knew how to drive a car before
tackling this new one, but the facts
would seem to indicate that he was
still little hazy about the function
of the brakes. The lesson in ac-
cidents of this nature is the utter
need for more intimate acquaint-
ance with the meaning of the cars
controls before becoming acquainted
with the results.
