H00SIER EARLY
MANAGER FOR
VIRGINIA TOWN
Edward A. Beck Made Pro-
nounced Success at
LynChburg.

One Of the first city managers
was the late Edward A. Beck, a
Hoosier, who transformed Lynch
burg, Va, from q town dependent on
tobacco and fruit growing to city
of diversified industries. with up-to-
date educational institutions and
splendid railroad facilities.
Mr.. Beck, born at Peru, Ind, was
a Purdue University graduate and
brother Of A. J. Beck, 1885 N. Illi-
nois St.
His administration Of city affairs
as city manager for five years was
considered a pronounced success. He
became city manager Sept. l., 1920,
and died Oct. IS, 1925.
AS assistant engineer Of the
Wabash Railroad, Mr.. Beck de-
signed and supervised the construc-
ton Of the Detroit tunnels, work
of unusual magnitude, wide expert
ence as an engineer fitted him for
the position of city manager, and
in 1917, he was selected from bio
applicants for city manager OF Colds
boro, N. c. He also served as
borough manager at Pittsburgh, Pa.
All departments were Programmed
on a business basis to function under
city manager form soon after Mr..
Beck went to Lynchburg. He in
stalled the system of monthly de-
partmental reports, published III
booklets for public distribution. He
supervised resurfacing OF 70 pen
cent of the city's streets an extended
the sewage system.
IAN able and far seeing executive,
his five years at the helm OF
Lynchburg's business affairs was
productive of rapid advancement in
many directions. To Mr.. Beck more
than to any other city official can
be attributed the success of the city

.DriUers Who Haze
Eyes But See Not
Hit In Ne,U Order
Keep Looking at Road,
Says Maryland Motor
Vehicle Commissioner.

BALTIMORE, February 21.-"Keep
your eye on the road" This is the
warning issued to motorists by e.
Austin Baughman, Maryland commis-
sioner of motor vehicles, who recently
instituted eyeslght tests for appli-
cants for driving licenses.
Many drivers who have perfectly
normal sight may, unless they prop
erly exercise that sight, prove serious
menaces to themselves and to other
users of the highways, according to
Mr.. Baughman, and consequently he
has issued a series of "Don'ts" for
motorists, calculated to minimize the
number of accidents. Col. Baughman
says:
Don't star-gaze
Don't day y-dream.
Don't try to watch pedestrians on
the sidewalks.
Don't carry on a conversation with
passengers in the back seat.
Don't let the scenery make you
forget you are driving a car
Too much emphasis cannot be
placed on the necessity of motorists
actually seeing" when they are driv-
ing, according to Col. Baughman.
Sight is not altogether a matter of
optics, he says, but largely a case of
concentration. The careful motorist
uses his sight to see the things that
will make for safe driving.

A. A. A. to Be Represented
at Council Meeting Next
Month in Paris.

American delegates to the Central
Council of Automobile Tourism, to be
held next month in Paris, have been
named by the American Automobile
Association. They are Cortlandt Field
Bishop, chairman of the international
relations committee of the American
Automobile Association, and w. F..

peedway Association Chester Lloyd
Jones, commercial attache at the
American embassy in Paris, has been
appointed by the. State Department
as the Governments representative.
Problems Up for Discussion.
Many problems affecting thousands
of Americans who either take their
own cars to Europe or hire cars dur
ing their stay abroad will come up for
consideration at the conference The
American Automobile Association
was invited to participate as the larg-
est organization of motorists in the
world and as the body most familiar
with the problems of Americans mo-
toring in Europe.
For many years the American Au-
tomobile Association through its for
eign office at sol Fifth avenue, New
York, and through its facilities at
pivotal points in Europe, has acted as
clearing house for American tour
lists taking their own cars to Europe.
Last year more than 1000 cars were
shipped abroad by this office. The
number shipped is increasing every
year because Americans going TO
Europe for an extended trip find IL
cheaper to take their own cars than TO
hire.
Question of Interest to A. A. A.

placed in the center of the block.
Learn to look for these signs in illogi-
cal places.
Next get the habit OF studying the
nature of a city's traff1c the moment
you enter 1t. If you watch what they
do at every crossing you'll know ex-
actly what to do when you reach the
street that interests you.

No. se-Tackling Strange Trahie.


Smith had always experienced diff
Guilty when driving through a city
he was not familiar with. He was
always getting into one-way streets
the wrong way or making left turns
when he shouldn't. But the other day
he came to me with the news that he
had suddenly discovered the secret
of tackling strange traffic without
getting arrested during the process.
II had little time on my hands
when passing through one of the
points on my trip" he explained, so
l hit upon the scheme of driving
around for the express purpose of
seeing how quickly l could catch on
to the various local rules and regula-
tions. You'd be surprised at the num-
ber of ideas picked up in an hours
time.
THE first thing I noticed was that
IL you watch the native drivers and
do as they do you seldom go wrong.
When at the head of q line of cars l
was more likely to be puzzled at
traffic regulations and therefore more
likely to make mistake. So l made
1t a rule to drag behind, letting the
fellows ~who felt at home go first.
All 1 had to do was follow the
leader"
Follow the Natives.
What about one way streets" /
asked. You wouldn't find any local
drivers entering them the wrong
way"
That's just the point" Smith grew
enthusiastic. when / found that no
one was doing some particular thing
l simply made up my mind that III
did it I'd probably be violating some
local ordinance. 1t was the same with
parking the car. Instead of looking
for no parking signs / parked where
parking was popular and kept away
from those places that looked like
good luck"
Il used to say, Well, just look at
this-the whole street to myself and
then an hour later I'd return to find
a tag on my steering wheel inform
to me, especially the courtrooms."
What do you do when you want
to turn left and the officers continu-
ally motion you to go straight
ahead?" I interrupted to ask. DO
you remember the time you tried to
turn left for four straight blocks and
then when you found a street where
they would let you turn it led to a
bridge, where you got lost?"
Making Left Turn.
Il don't get into any such pre-
dicaments now" he replied. when
ever l try to make left turn in the
direction I want to go l simply go
to the next street, turn to the right
and come around the block. In a
majority of cases you can usually
turn to the right on any street that's
wide enough for two cars. Going
around the block simplifies the whole
business and there is no possibility
of losing your sense of direction or
getting Off the track"

thought you gathered in your expo
rience is that by taking little in

Reports Prepared
On SnOtU IL, Roads
For Il. Il. Il. AutOists
Service Has Brought
About Larger amount
of Winter Driving.

Local motorists contemplating using
their cars for long tours during the
remainder OF the Winter and in the
early Spring are invited to get in
touch with the American Automobile
Association, Mills Building, to learn
whether there is any snow at points
on their itinerary and how deep II is,
according to Ernest n. Smith, general
manager of the association.
This extensive service to members,
Mr.. Smith says, is the result of CO.
operation among all affiliated Ameri-
can Automobile Association clubs,
whereby the A. A A. touring and
transportation board is enabled to
issue to these member clubs weekly
report of the snow depth in all parts
of the country. Mr.. Smith points out
that since Offering this service A. A. A.
clubs throughout the country report
a decided upturn in the extent of
Winter touring, the service being
particularly appreciated by business
men who prefer to motor when pos
sible.
by eliminating the element of
doubt" he explains, motorists feel
that they are taking far less chance
in venturing away from home in the
car during the snow season. They do
not have to speculate whether the
snow in a locality en- route is such as
to make the roads impossible. The
number of inches of snow on the
ground at various points is on record
at all the A. A. A. clubs, and infor-
nation can usually be supplied as to
whether snow removal is a part of
the States road policy where the
snow depth would seem to be a
problem.
Taken in connection with weather
reports and forecasts, the snow depth
report on file at the club can be used
as a relatively safe guide to those
who plan long trips at this season.
1t is often possible to swing around
snow area, and 1t Is in showing the
motorist how to reroute his tour that
the reports are of particular value"

Motorist Advised Against Adding
Alcohol to Cooling System.

Adding alcohol to the cooling sys-
tenn is often an annoyance, because,
with the system filled, 1t is necessary
to drain off some of the old water
and alcohol solution. With some
cars, draining the cooling system is
a mans Job, and where this is the
case It Is good plan to remember to
add fresh alcohol on days when you
forget to uncover the radiator core
in time to prevent boiling over. After
the system has elected a couple
quarts OF the old solution through
the overflow pipe, the average driver
fills up with water and misses d good
opportunity to save himself some

HALF TRUTHS SEEN
IN SAFETY IDEAS
Auto Drivers Notions of Ac-
Cident Prevention Discussed
by Local Dealer.

Complete reversal OF the average
motorists ideas of the fundamentals
OF safety may be required before any
big progress in accident prevention
is possible, according to Rudolph
Jose, local Cadillac dealer and stu
dent OF safety matters.
Tho first problem, he says, is to
mako the average driver see that the
things he thinks dangerous are not
really dangerous at all, and vice versa.
In Mr. Jose's opinion a reversal of
notions would result in an immedt-
ate improvement in the accident
situation, thus automatically encour-
aging the average driver to seek the
truth about safety matters. instead
of adherlng to dangerous half
truths.
"Speed" Ideas Need Revising.
Speed" he pointed out, 'is one of
the chief features of driving which
the average motorist needs to revise
lieves that he must give every atten-
tion to the road. Then, when he
slows down, he feels that it is no
longer necessary to be so yigilant.
The truth of the matter is that when
a. driver has to go slow it is usually
because there is more to look out
for, and when there is an opportunity
10 lTdNel 1dSL lHSTe is usually less
danger to look out for.
Just as soon as the average driver
puts on set Of chains he feels that
1t is perfectly. safe for him TO handle
his car carelessly. AS a matter of
fact, the real safety feature of chains
lies in the drivers Willingness to
handle his car exactly as though he
did not enjoy this protection.
Reversal of Views Necessary.
"In similar way it is going to be-
come necessary to reverse many of
our ideas regarding the fundamen-
tails of safety. Unless this Is done
safety work Will never make any big
progress. Most drivers who are
blinded by glaring headlights, for in
stance, condemn the law that allows
the other fellow to get by with it.
But how many of these unfortunate
drivers ever slow down or stop. when
blinded, as a real precaution against
accidents?'

HILLS REMOVE SMELL.
Driving UPGRADE With Heater On
Burns Off Paint.

That smell from your new tonneau
heater is simply paint burning off
the pipes. There is no way that ex-
haust gas can come up into the car
If the device is properly installed.
The trouble with many car owners
is that they use the heater just q
little at d time and so are annoyed
from the paint smell for a longer
period than is necessary.
The right way is to turn on the
heater full, open up all the windows
and drive UP a few hills. This will
get rid of the smell in short order.
