Alotordom has u new evil in
''counterfelt' safety. according TO
traffic experts who have been trying
TO find an explanation for the mount
ing number OF accidents and COLI
sfous.
Good intentions are the Loreleis that
lure motorists to the hospital and re-
pentanCe. Too many drivers are prac-
ticing a false brand of safety and fiirt-
ing with chance. The results justify
A. close scrutiny of the gentle art OF
getting about in an automobile and
probably a revision of some of the
popular methods employed.
Investigation reveals that a large
percentage of socalled safety habits
are of a counterfeit variety. The
driver puts into practice certain of his
own rules which afford safety only be-
cause no hazard actually exists at
the time. The success of these home
made rules holsters the driver In his
belief that he is careful and cautious
almost to a fault.
One Of the most vulnerable spots for
the exercise of this spurious kind OF
safety Is the railroad crossing. The
average motorist will slow down and
look in both directions as he nears
the tracks. Some declutch so as to
silence the engine and afford a better
opportunity to catch the sounds of an
approaching train. On the whole most
drivers slow down, look and listen, but
few observe the time honored mandate
to stop, look and listen
Genuine Safety Missed.

The driver who totally ignores
safety rules at railroad crossings fire.
quently obtains better results than the
driver who puts the counterfeit variety
into practice. For instance, Il a car

signs and slows down to % After
driving fast a normal speed seems

This gives him IA false sensation of

though he would have to be right on
the tracks to see q train so feet away,

Found Costly Practice.

crossings, only a few would be safe in
the event of n real hazard. Most of
them, albeit they slow down, are go
ing too fast to stop in time to avoid
running into passing train.
Brakes Often Unequal.
Counterfeit safety finds expression
also in the misapplication of attention
to parts. Many a driver insists that
his brakes be adjusted for the quick
est possible stop. His thought is that
the better the brakes hold the easier
1t will be for him to avoid an accident.
The matter of skidding because of I'M
equal adjustment of the brakes does
not occur to him.
One of the commonest varieties OF
pseudo safety in driving is the habit
of recognizing the value of the emer-
gency brake, but of abstaininS from
using it. Under such circumstances
the driver is not likely to know how
poorly the emergency brake works
until he tries 1t and finds 1t wanting.
In the case Of propeller shaft brakes,
now widely used on a number of cars,
it frequently happens that the brake
drum becomes covered with grease
from the transmission or front uni
versal joint This condition Is not
likely to he observed unless the driver
Acting on a rule of false safety,
many drivers get close behind another
car before swinging out to overtake
it. They believe that the place for a
driver Is on the right side of the
road and that the job of overtaking
another vehicle should be accomplish
ed with a minimum of travel on the
left-hand side of the road. Conse-
quently they overlook the danger of
III LIT, lN~l ~,
trying to pass at the same time, since
one is not likely to assume that the
driver ahead is going to pass around
another car unless he starts to edge
over to the LETT and gives some sign
to indicate his intentions.
In making a quick pass there is
also the danger of not seeing an APP
preaching vehicle. The closer a driver
Is to the car he intends to pass the
less likely he Is to note whether the
road is clear ahead.

been stranded in hazardous locations
because they could not crank their

when the engine failed to run, are
often conscientious to the extreme In
other directions, being careful to see
that steering, brakes and other es-
sential units of safety are in suitable

One of the oldest forms of counter
felt safety is the practice of switching
the worn rear tires to the front

belief that he should have rough

minimize Skidding, never realizing

TRIO OF CONCERTS ON WCAP BILL

Radio Dial
BY Listener-In

Broadway's favorites joined hands
last night to offer one Of the most
beautiful tributes ever paid to the
memory of any mana memorial
concert to Victor Herbert. the fam
Gus composer.
In effect, the memorial was q
review of the greatest works of
the composer, a review OF his last
ing accomplishments. 1t was
Broadway paying homage to one
Of her most famous sons, and
nothing could have been more APP
propriate.
It was a review, also, Of Broad
ways famous probably one one Of
the biggest groups Of great musical
names ever gathered together for
a single program.
Listeners not familiar with all
of Herbert's compositions must
have marvelled at the versatility
of his art, which was so apparent
in the program last night. Falk
songs, waltzes and selections from
light and grand opera all played
q part in the evening.
Paul Whiteman and his famous
orchestra opened the concert with
the Cuban" and Spanish" Sere-
enades. Then the symphony or
chestra was led through some OF
Herbert's most popular pieces by
such masters Of orchestration as
John Philip Sousa,. Henry Hadley,
Hugo Reisenfield and Max Bendix.
The orchestra under Sousa' s
leadership played Herbert's "Am-
erican Fantasy" under Hadley.
the Irish Rhapsody" Pan Ameri-
cana" with Bendix as leader; Selec-
tions from 'The Fortune Teller"
under Hugo Reisenfield and a
couple of short numbers with Ma
han Franko welding the baton.
Among the numbers which will
take a long time to fade from our
memory were "Bandinage," by
Rudolph Friml; the Homage to
Victor Herbert" an orchestral
number arranged by Armand
Vecesy Which was a medley OF
Herberts popular pieces; and Wal-
