Golf Doesn't Hurt

The notion that golf has become

Watch Time and Place.

The reason why most cars are sadly
neglected is because their owners do
rot appreciate the fact that there is
time ard place for giving the car
certain attention which II naeds. and
that taking advantage of these rp-

time and expense. for a car owner
always sacrifices his own time even
when the car Is being attended to by
those whom he employs. 1t costs

AMERICAN WOMEN
MODEL CAR DRIVERS
Control of Own Motors Held Influ.
ence Against Male Supremacy
in Europe.

American women who drive their
own cars are doing much to break
down the custom of male supremacy
in European countries, according to
Capt. Harry NJ. Horton, local auto
mobile dealer. The splendid driving
record of American women, he says,
Is opening the eyes OF foreigners and
may greatly influence their motoring.
In France" says Capt Horton, 1T
is very rare to see a woman driving
A car, and the Frenchman points to
this fact as one reason for that coun-
try's low automobile accident rate.
Experienced drivers around Paris
largely due to the freedom which
American women enjoy, particularly
with respect to the handling of cars.
But because this is not true, and the
facts are reaching foreign shores,
foreign women are said to be seeking
greater freedom In motoring, as in
everything else
ut les becoming known in Paris.
for instance, that the American wom-
an is succeeding in showing a bet
ter driving record than the American
man, and this may change the whole
situation over there.
when the latest figures from the
Connecticut motor vehicle department
reach Paris there will likely be an
opportunity for French madam to put
up good argument to monsieur as
to why she may be better able to pilot
the family car. for though I4.1 per

Hazard has played such an important
role in this experience that ii is difficult
- understand how the insurers reached
their present conclusions.
However, the Washington Auto
motive Association does not aim to
question this practice as announced for
the present year and is optimistic over
the fact that the experience of the
casualty underwriters has been such
as to render an per cent reduction
possible.
"Our organization hopes that reduc-

Unless the motoriSt exercises the
same sort of judgment which he is
presumed TO exercise conditions cannot
possibly be improved. The percentage
of accidents and collisions would in
crease. and insurance rates would be
raised as d natural consequence.
Past experience would seem to jus
tfy anticipation of such conditions un-
less car owners exercise particular care
in the operation and use of their ma
chimes. In other words, the revised in
Surance rates do NOT guard against
possibility of new moral hazard. AS

attitude of the car owner toward his

allowed TO run too slowly and had

Then. after shiftin' through the two

when !ettin' IN the clutch after shift

DlSSlMILAR LAWS
HELD AS DETRIMENT
Individual State Legislation Re.
quiring Fitting of Cars Fails
to Check Thefts.

To prove their contention that dis
similar and individual state laws re-
quiring the titling of motor vehicles
do not SERVE as an adequate check on
stolen cars. officials of the Connecticut
motor vehicle department have just
made public that they succeed recent
~ in registering fictitious care in a
western state where d law requiring
registration and ccrtitication OF mo-
tor vehicle titles is in force.
Disclosure of the weakness of the
title law as handled in the particular
state whore the test was made by the

Officials is the outcome Of an inveStiga- :
tiOn being conducted by the insurance
department of the United States Cham
her of Commerce in it's effort to mini
mize the number of stolen cars through
Legislation and enforcement.
The views of the motor vehicle au-
thoritieS OF the various states We're
solicited recently. at which time Con-
necticut pointed out the chances OF
failure of individual state laws in han
ding so national a problem.
At the 1923 session of the general
assembly of Connecticut proposed legiS-
lation recommending a title law was
referred to committee and subsequently
defeated on advice of the motor vehicle
department, which contended that such
a law could not be effective unless
modified and adopted by all states.
