 Fatigue is the speedometer which tells you when you are exceeding the speed limit.
 Physologically fatigue is due to an accumulation of waste products. The health of muscle depends upon two factors, it's use and the elimination of the wastes that are | formed hy exercise.

I suspect that Paddy the Beaver didn't give this so much as q single thought when he planned that new dan And the big pond it would make. He had no thought for any save himself and family. And if any enc had told him that the building of that dam and the making Of that pond concerned others he would most indignantly have denied 1t.

 But this wasn't true. Peter Rab- bit realized this as he saw that pond growing, saw the water spreading farther and farther through the swamp.

roads. Instead of that general and
frequently misleading term, there ap-
peared the more specific and in
formative words curve Slow or
caution This manner of marking
Is far superior to the blind indication
of danger and serves to tell the mo-
torist the kind of hazard ahead so
that he may make his own prepara-
tions for meeting 1t. When the word
danger does appear one knows that
1t really means just that and he is
prepared to take extra precautions FOR
meeting the emergency.
Uniform Marking Needed.
"a need for uniform marking, how
ever, was evident throughout the
trip. Traffic signs are so different
and speed limits vary to such an
extent that it is easy to see how
confused a motorist might become
when travelling so far. In going from
one State to another there are at
times radical differences between the
laws governing the use Of the high
ways and the cities passed through
have a multiplicity Of traffio signs and
practices that are conspicuous for
their lack of uniformity.
Uniform designation OF the high
ways and standard road signs are
ton to this major problem of motor
ing over long distances. The advan-
tage of the plan of the United States
Bureau of Public Roads and State
highway officials calling for uniform
numbering of the highways and erec-
tion OF standard road signs is well
demonstrated on such a trip. Ere
duently the motorist finds himself
following route bearing one mum
ber that is changed to another at
the State line. All this confusion
would be eliminated by such a plan
of uniform signs and markings.
The roads of the Pacific Northwest
excel for their distinctive method Of
road marking. A number in large
black numerals. displayed with an ar
row. clearly point tho way for the
tourist over these highways"
Night Driving Facilitated.
Possibilities for gaining time on a
long trip through driving at night
offer a peculiar advantage to the long
distance motorist. Mr.. Smith pointed
out. Night driving was made pos
sible for the A. "A. A. officials by
making the trip in a Cadillac car of
the sedan type, the interior OF which
was specially equipped for sleeping
purposes by having the seat next TO
the driver fitted with a. hinged back
to permit laying it down and placing
a mattress lensthwise in the car. So
smooth was the going that in Wyom-
ing Mr.. Smith wrote two letters While
the car was being driven at 40 miles
an hour.
II was particularly impressed by
the development of night driving
said Mr.. Smith. 80 many motorists
stop at night when they could con
tinue their driving with a great deal
more safety than during the daytime.
Cars become fewer on the roads at
night and with traffic lighter driving
becomes safer. since congestion usual
" is at the bottom of highway
hazards. During a period OF more
than four hours in one night on the
way we passed only four cars. which
shows that a motorist is overlooking
the best time for driving when he
confines his trip only in the daytime.

THE OLD MECHANIC SAYS:

II car owners would check up with
each other a little more, life would
be whole lot easier for automobile
repairmen. It's fine for repairmen to
be able to pass out information and
comfort car owners when they've got
trouble on their minds, but all this
free information doesn't pay the rent.
1t doesn't even pay the motorist.
There have been at least a dozen
owners in here durin' the past month
to ask me to line up their front
wheels. They notice the right side Of
the right front tire seems to wear a
little more than the other tires, and
don't know that this always has been
the case. Only balloon tires mag

Some treads on tires of certain
makes have a habit of wearin' in a
peculiar way. 1T worries a lot Of mo-
torists, but, like most worry, it's use
less. All the motorist has to do is to
look at other cars equipped with these
tires or consult the owners when there

daily motoring when the police who
watch from the traffic towers will
control traffic to the smallest detail,
| when traffic will proceed with a
| smoothness that will suggest safety
and when the violator will be imme-
diately disqualified and prohibited
from endangering those who play the
game sQuarely.
Year after year the automobile
race kings step up to new levels of
courtesy. In no sport is fair play
more highly regarded either by the
players or the spectators themselves.
Courtesy is strain upon the disposi.
ton when miles are flying past at
two a minute or more. but the speed
way stars see in 1t the basis of all
achievement, cooperation.
This is one of the features Of speed
way races. 1t points the way to to-
morrow's motoring on everybody's
highway 1t shows why daily motor
ing is at present suffering through an
excess OF accidents and why there are
traffic delays. Cooperation is win
ming the speedway's race against time
and distance. 1t can do the same for
everyday motoring and more. 1t can
prevent excessive and restrictive laws
and regulations 1t can be insurance
against delays and disaster.
The racing stars are a group of
sportsmen. They are working together
for greater results. They are the key
stones OF automobiledom great lab

competition is straightforward, clean.
progressive. They do not toss each
other aside in order to get ahead, Just
to lose because they lack the feature
of cooperative effort. Can the same
be said for present EVERYDAY motor
ing?
feature of the speedways is that
safety is being developed through
speed. 1t is another instance wherein
the speedway Is the prophet of all

ington track curves are banked so
high that safety is possible only with
speed. So far as the average mind
can see 1t Is an experiment. but it
has its purpose. 1t shows that braking

It's necessary, however, to get a

here regularly to have the valves

that both Of 'em might have been

inches. $50; 135 inches, s75, and
over 135 inches, $50.
Trucks with carrying ca a~acity
larger than seven tons are pro-
hibited. The yearly charge for the
four classes range from $25 for a
three-quarter tertonvehicle TO $500
for seven tons capacity.
TaXicabs are given a special con-
cession, their tax being one-half

No. 12HBeing Towed Home.


Our plan of getting home on oul
wits was working out well enough or
a recent trip until q member of Smiths
party became i'll. We had consumed
quite a bit Of time trying to figure
out how to overcome the various diff
flculties of driving In second gear, but
with 80 miles yet to go, some quicker
method of travel had to be devised.
II think / had better tow you," ]
finally suggested to Smith. You have
learned how to get home on your wits
and III venture to predict that you'll
find your way out of most difficulties
in the future. But your friend is not
being benefited by the delay. Get out
your tow rope and I'll pull you tie
rest of the way"
The mention of the tow line worried
Smith perceptibly.
IL haven't got one" he STAN
mered, mopping the perspiration from
his brow.
Smith gazed in silence while / went
TO the tool box on my car and took out
a new metal tow line. 1t looked to be
a very simple process, and because
Smith was beginning to smile again !
lost no time in disillusioning him.
Towing Is Mans Job.
'1 can see that YOU have never been
towed before" I began, otherwise
YOU would not be taking the job so
lightly. Towing is a he-man job, if YOU
understand what | mean n. We can save
a lot Of time and trouble by getting
together on this before We start.
The first thing to do is 10 lock the
transmission gears in neutral. You
have been shifting gears SO much to-
day that unconsCiously you may start
shifting while / am towing. You've
got enough transmission trouble now
without wrecking the whole business.
L don't care whether you switch on
the engine or press on the brakes now
and then. You'll be doing those things
out Of sheer habit, but they will do no
real harm.
THE next point is that we must
agree on some signaling system. / m
going to hold out my hand when l In
tend to stop. If my rear signal stop
light flashes before I signal with my
hand you will know that | am going
10 stop quickly. That will be your cue
to stop just as quickly as you can.
When I simply put out my hand, and
the signal does not flash red right
away, you will know that | am simply
slowing down or coming to gradual
stop. That will save you from slam
ming on the brakes and straining the
car
Holding Car on Grade.
Smith interrupted to ask what l
would do in holding the car back on
a down grade. He was afraid that the
flashing of the stoplight connected
with the service brake would puzzle
him.
In that case" I explained. "we'll
come to a dead stop AT the top Of any
steep hill. Then youn unlock your
gear lock and shift into second. I'll
shift to second. too. III use the emer-
SenCv brake for slowing down the car
still further. if that will be necessary.
My stoplight. therefore, will not be
flashing at you.
Bear in mind that there will be
other motorists following YOU. and
that when / signal YOU should signal.
too. so that they won't be running into
Us. Many of them will not notice that
yOu are being towed.
IF anything goes wrong you can
signal me by sounding your horn.
