Will ENLARGE DAWSONS COLD STORAGE FACILITIES
NEWS AID. CLEANED OUT
STOCK IN JUST As MINUTES

DAWSON, Ga, Aug. %, 1925
Dawson News: In the last issue OF
The Dawson News we advertised
clothes hampers for today at SOC,
none charged and no phone orders
accepted.
Within forty-hve minutes after
we opened our doors every hamper
we had in stock had been sold, and
we could have sold two hundred
more during the day. We also had
an unusually good business in prac-
tically every line we carry, during
this sale.
This, with the other results we
have had, is enough to prove to the
most skeptical the effectiveness OF
advertising in The Dawson News.
Yours very truly,

Summing Up Congestion.

Traction companies are busy fgur-
ing out the cost Of congestion, with
the obvious idea of soaring the motor
ist into leaving his car at home in
the garage.
1t has been figured that congestion
costs Cincinnati 100000 a day. Park
ing in the loop district of Chicago has
been figured to cost the city 100000
a day. In Philadelphia congestion IS
said to cost 863 taxicabs 9.5 per cent OF
their working time, or $3.50 a day for
each cab.
While these figures necessarily are
estimated, few will doubt their ap'
proximate accuracy. What would be
interesting however, would be to
learn what these cities gain by reason
Of the congestion which the automo-
bile makes possible and how much
business would be lost IL cars had to
move SO quickly and stop 20 briefly
for parking that fewer people could do
business with the merchants Of the
community.
If congestion is such a costly affair
and such a business loss why do mer-
chants continue to pay high rentals
for stores In the Congested districts?

Baughman States Attitude Toward

Any attempt to impose q municipal
license tax on Maryland motorists, in
addition to the State fees, will be
fought by Il. Austin Baughman,
Maryland commissioner of motor ve-
hicles.
The statement was made in re.

Eastern shore city are considering
plan to force motorists Of Salisbury
to take out municipal as well as State
licenses.

any additional tax on motorists Mr..
Baughman said. "They are heavily
burdened now. Should any legislation
be introduced at the next General As
semhly with a view to legalizing the

effort to defeat It. At present the I'M

PARKING IN TIGHT PLACE.
Best Way Is to Drive In, Then Out,
and Back Car.

The proper way to make a small
parking space is first to steer the car
slightly into il and then out again
before backing in. his brings the
rear wheels nearer the curb in prepa-
ration for the backing process and
thus facilitates the work of making
neat parking job. Most motorists
drive up parallel with the car ahead
of the parking space and then back.
This requires more room, increases
the possibility of humping the rear
fender OF the car ahead and, in gen
eral, makes the work more difficult.

HILL PARKING EASIER.

Contrary to many a drivers expert
ence, it is easier to park car on u
hill than on the level-if you know
how. On a hill it is not necessary to
shift from low to reverse. or vice
versa. for the forward and backing
movements. The car will coast in one
direction, depending upon the hill. II
will be necessary to use the brakes,
but then that is necessary in most

SCHOOLS SAFETY
LESSONS PRAISED
District Dealers Group Thinks
Teaching Now Will Bear
Great Fruit.

Future solutions to traffic problems
may be made easier if children are
taught how to conduct themselves
properly III traffic, according to, q
statement of the Washington Auto
motive Trade Association, which de-
clares that this training can be ac-
complished effectively in home and
school.
The right kind of training for citi-
zenship, the dealers orga nization
points out, should not overlook the
possibility of eliminating many of the
complexities of the traffic problem by
inSuring a proper attitude toward
traffic regulation on the part of those
who are going TO be the men and
women tomorrow.
Early Training Best.
Parents should teach their chill
dren the dangers of street traffic from
their earliest years. the statement of
tho dealers association declares. 1T
is a case of beginning young, while
the mind is most impresSionab and
at the time when good habits are ac-
quired most effectively. OF course. a
great many PARENTS do just this thing,
but. with the traffic problems incident
10 increasing congestion becoming pro-
porttonately more complex year by
wear. there is a greater need for lay
ing additional stress on the hazards to
human life from street traffic.
Appropriate instruction of this
sort now is included in the curriculum
of many of our schools. and II has
been found of great help. Such in
struction is begun in the kindergarten,
where the teachers caution the small
youngsters to exercise care on the
streets. AS a result. many of them
show greater care in crossing our
thoroughfares than do their elders.
At least. they do not take the chances
that so many grown-ups take with
little heed of the possible conse
qucnces.
If traffic problems have become so
complex that mature minds find it
difficult to find their solutions, GER
tainly the cooperation which the au-
thoritieS must receive from the gen
eraI public should be assured by train
ing the next generation to do it's part
in furthering this movement to save
human lives. More can be gained by
training from childhood the persons
who are going TO be our pedestria AS
and motorists than to wait until they
have become careless.
Results Are Assured
Should safety program of this
sort, which begins with the boys and
girls, be carried out regularly. the
benefit which will result is certain to
he immense. 1t is a question of elimi-
mating evils at their source. The best
way to eliminate traffic evils is to fore
see them and prevent them before
they take form. With the schools
contributing their. share to this
work. there is every assurance that
the next generation will include far
less jaywalkers and reckless drivers
than the present one.

Makers Profit Per Car.

How much net profit does q typical
car manufacturer make per sale?
There have been many wild guesses,
but obviously few motorists know the
facts. Net profits to the dealers are
now less of a mystery because tho
public knows that the used car cuts
into the profits. One car maker. how
ever. made $S4 a car on 900 sales
in the first half of 1925.

STEERING WHEEL "PLAY."

Steering wheel play" is not a

to as high as two inches In one

models of the same make. Therefore
it's an individual matter to be de-

SET BRAKE PART WAY.

When backing into or pulling out of
n tight position where the utmost care
must be exercised 10 prevent applying
too much gas and hitting another car
1t is often a good plan to set the

as Il drag on the car, thus forestalling
the possibility of moving forward or
backward too reckleSsly.
