II local collisions and accidents
were analysed carefully It would be
found that many drivers who ap-
pear to have played no part IN
these affairs really contributed
much through their own peculiar
brand of negligence. This negl-
gence is nothing more or less than
unwiIIingness to appreciate the
necessity Of helping other drivers
who are In trouble.
Here is e sample that will Illus
trate this important point:
Just ahead a driver started to
make . turn to the right. but an
instant later he was starting to
turn to the left. There would have
been j collision but for the fact
that the driver Of the car follow.
ing decided to stop rather than
take a chance on passing the car
ahead either way.
Why did he stop?
His explanation was that he is
experienced enough to realize that
q driver can be confused by his
passengers to an extent where he
will overlook the fact that he Is
not the only driver on the road.
This was unquestionably the case
in the particular accident that was
avoided.
some one in the car ahead said
Turn in here to the right Som Z
one else said, You're wrong. It's
the street to the left Obviously
the driver needed the cooperation Of
other raotorists-if an accident was
to be averted.
Many accidents would not happen
IL other drivers did not crowd
their less fortunate comrades. There
would be fewer skids If all drivers
would stop more considerably.
Safe driving is not lone driv.
ing. You have to cooperate for
safety.

'ONE-PR0FIT IS
new PHASE OF
CAR MAKING
studebaker Points Out How
the Public Has Been Pay
ing for Bone in Beefsteak

There ID q phase Of automobile
building which will be talked OF
more this summer than almost any
mechanical detail OF the car.
Buyers of motor cars are being
permitted to look further and furth-
er into the manufacture OF the
machine, as years go by, increasing
their knowledge OF car building ana
becoming, thereby. more careIuI
and more competent buyers.
AS q result, more than BOO
makes of automobiles, each an
nounced to the public in the begin
ming with flourish and many
adjectives, have been discarded py
cornpetent buyers and no longer
are on the market.
The phase of building which is
the next step in the education OF
the public In the real worth or
motor cars, may be called "one-
profit" manufacture. A year ago,
that phrase would have meant
little to q buyer. Next year. 1t VIII

from "nany-profit" building.
III means this: The "one-profit"
manufactures makes the entire car,
complete. He does not buy the
engine here, the body there, the
springs. frames, transmissions and
whatnot elsewhere. Making them
himself, only one profit Is taken
on the car.
Each Takes His Profit.
On the contrary, in an assembled
car, the maker Of the engine takes
his profit, the body builder does
likewise. and 30 do all the parts
makers.
On top Of all these separate pro-
fits, the assembler adds his own
profit, his own overhead business
expense, his sales and other COSTS
further amplifying the excess.
Not one tangible thing Is repre-
sented in the completed car by
any Of these separate profits,
except in the price. Paying. Tor
them is like buying the air In
