Clutch on Modern Auto
Makes Shifting Easier

One of the most notable advances
made by modern cars has been in the
direction of easier and more quiet
operation. The prevalence of women
and even children in their upper teens
as drivers of cars Is perhaps the best
testimonial of the great strides that
have been made by automobile engi-
neers along these lines.
Not so many years ago it was neces-
sary to have good strong arm to
crank a car-an ordeal, incidentally,
often performed in mud or puddles of
water.
Another essential was the posses
sion Of box of matches to light the
gas lamps at night. There was also
the inconvenience of gear shifting.
with the clutch pedal requiring con-
siderable pressure and levers hard to
manipulate In short, driving a car
was strictly mans job.
Electric starters and lights, instru-
ment boards, cord tires and, particu-
larly, easy gear shifting revolutionized
things, until today it is not only the
usual thing to see a woman at the
wheel of car, but women have be-
come actually as proficient as men in
driving automobiles.

Driving Car Best Way
to Determine Merits

How should an automobiles Judge
a car today?
Get behind it and drive It," is the
answer given by general sales man
ager OF the Oakland Motor Car COM
pany.
He sums up the reasons for this
answer as follows:
"The public Is accustomed to Judge
an automobile too much today by hear
say. Some of these opinions reflect an
old judgment on car and do not res
fleet the judgment that would be made
on the car If the prospective purchaser
actually got behind the car today and
Judged for himself.
Automobile shows have been devel-
oDed for Just this purpose to keep the
public informed as to the develop
ments of each make of car. Each
manufacturer makes changes, addi-
tons and improvements In his car
some more, some less. The problem is
for the automobiles himself to decide
for himself just how much more
automobile each manufacturer is CIV
Ing to the public each year.
This can be decided in but one
way-rlde in the car. After all, how
the car rides is the most important
thing. Has 1t feel Of life, of power ?
Does it accelerate quickly? Is the
mechanism easy to handle? Is the car
comfortable to ride in? win it stand
tho poff of rouch travol2
ut is the only test of car today.
For after all, motorists judgment
of car after he has ridden in it Is
apt to pretty thoroughly reflect the
quality of the car"

GOOD MANNERS IN
MOTORING limited
Commissioner Stocked of
Connecticut Has Pre-
pared Code of Ethics.

Robbins B. Stocked, commissioners
Of motor vehicles of the state of Con-
nectlcut, has proposed the following
code of ethics or good manners In mo-
toring.
ITO be good driver, in the terms
of applied ethics, Is to be a person of
good manners, truly an altruist, ready
to see and appreciate the problems of
others, to make proper allowance for
them and to exercise even little
more patience care and consideration
than Is actually called for by the letter
of the law.
Driving an automobile through wa
ter or mud so as to splash same on
pedestrians is common pastime with
some motorists who have peculiar
ideas of what constitutes joke.
Give Proper Warning.
"Give proper warning to pedestrians
and other users of the highway. Even
animals should receive reasonable no
tice
1.-THE horn should be reserved for
safety purpose; not to signal person
inside of house nor to attract the
attention of people passing.
"Give proper attention to headlights.
They often cause inconvenience and
danger to others.
"Disobeying the instructions re
ceived from traffic officers and trying
to steal a few feet of space, instead
of remaining In proper spot. not only
annoys pedestrians and other motorists
but is dangerous practice.
"Starting an argument with a traffic
officer is not only bad etiquette but Is
counting trouble with the law.
keep In the middle of the road is
tip that has been construed literally
by the roadhog. Drivers of heavy We
hicles should keep to the right side of
the highway where they belong.
Common offenses.
"a common offense against road Ell
quette Is committed when a motor car
operator places his car at crossing
so as to obstruct pedestrian traffic,
thus compelling pedestrians to walk
around his machine.
DRIVERS who wish to be considerate
Of other people will concentrate on
what they are doing, look where they
are going, not attempt to gaze at pas
sersby and stay in line.
"The exercise of kindness to others,
consideration and true courtesy will
prevent any operator from getting a
wrong attitude Of mind for driving in
traffic. Any operator who loses his
temper who becomes sulky, or Is alb
normal from any one of many different
cau+Hs is unfit to drive because his
automobile provides medium of ex-
preston for his personality. II that
personality is upset, he is bound to
make trouble for himself or for others,
generally for both"
