British Satisfied With
Present Golf
Ball

That the average British
golfer, like his American cousin
is not in favor of changing the
present weight and dimension of
the ball would seem to have
been conclusively demonstrated
nv a ballot taken by Golf Illus
trated of London. To date the
vote showed more than a q to
/ verdict in favor of the reten-
ton of the present 1.62 ball.
Apparently the rank and file
of British golfers are not in
favor of the larger and lighter
ball, although that has been the
general belief heretofore.

Blowout Patch Handy
for Use in Emergency

The Importance of the emergency
blowout patch as a part of the mo-
toring equipment Is understood by all
experienced motorists. When the mo-
torist discovers a clean-cut fabric
break, stone bruise or a small cut en-
tirely through tread and fabric, he
simply applies the patch, inserts and
initiates the tube and continues his trip.
But it must also be understood by
the tourist that this patch is for
emergency, not for permanent repairs.
At the end of the trip during which
an accident has occurred necessitat-
ing the use of the emergency patch,
the tourist should see that the patch
is taken out and the casing repaired
properly at any vulcanizing shop. In
this way the emergency patch will
have served the purpose and the
mileage-giving qualities of the casing
are not impaired.
On the other hand, as the tire causes
him no further trouble, the motorist
is likely to forget the patch he APP
piled for emergency purposes. The
result of this neglect would be that by
the natural flexing and bending of the
tire the patch is forced into the cut
or break, wedging the fabric apart
until it becomes too weak to resist
the inside air pressure and blowout
occurs, ripping the fabric apart to
such an extent that it is beyond repair.
With careful treatment the emergency
fabric patch has saved the life of
many casing, but it has also brought
more than one casing to death by
thoughtless neglect.

Back-Seat Driving Going
Out of Fashion RAPIDLY

I'm the old days when a car was
going to make turn or come to a
stop, It was no unusual sight to see
arms extended from the car in every
direction" says Charles M. Hayes,
president of the Chicago Motor club.
"Back-seat driving has gone out Of
fashion to a great extent, but a re-
action in the matter of signaling has
set in. Today the back-seat passenger
refrains from signaling, but in too
many cases the driver also neglects
to signal.
MANY motorists are of the opinion
that this is merely courtesy of the
road, whereas it is a definite obliga-
tion imposed by law. The motor We
hicle act in Illinois, says: mo driver
of vehicle shall suddenly stop, slow
down, or attempt to turn around with
out first signaling his intentions
with outstretched arms or otherwise
to those closely following in the rear.
'In Chicago a city ordinance re-
quires drivers moving out from the
curb to signal their Intentions This
is common-sense regulation in eff
feet in most cities, and one which
would prevent many accidents"

PARTNERSHIP IN
STREET TRAVEL
One Cannot Afford to Be
Reckless in This Age of
Automobile Perils.

(By c. B. AUEL, President National
Safety Council)
The motorist and pedestrian are
partners in the street. Like in com
mercial partnership or a marriage
partnership, the failure of one part
ner is the hardship of both.
Do unto your partner as you would
have him do unto you, is the Golden
Rule of the street.
In this age of motor perils one
can't afford to be reckless. Twenty
thousand persons, the young and the
old, the sprightly and the feeble, were
killed in the streets and on the high
ways of our country last year. Some
Of these were killed because they
didn't respect the rights of motorists,
and some were killed because motor
lists didn't respect the rights of pc
destrians. The same causes apply to
the deaths of many of the automobile
passengers.
Rght-of-Way Question.
A lot of people say: well, who
has got the right-of-wayf" That ques-
ton has not yet been answered by
lawmakers as between the motorist
and the pedestrian.
Since all of us are pedestrians at
times, we have first-hand knowledge
of the feelings of those who walk, as
well as those who ride.
1t is sometimes aggravating to stand
on a corner waiting to cross a street
without ever a motorist stopping his
car to give you the right-of-way. And
if an automobile driver does stop and
wave to you to cross the street, you
hail him as zone man in a million"
Partnership Affair.
The motorist does not own the road.
Long before there were automobiles,
pedestrians traversed our streets and
highways. But pedestrians don't own
the road, either. 1t is $3.50 part
nershipS based on respect of one for
the other.
If you are driving an automobile,
give the pedestrian safe chance to
cross the street, and if you are
pedestrian, do not thoughtlessly jeop-
ardize yourself and the motorist by
carelessly thrusting yourself into his
path, in the hope that he may stop.
If you conduct yourself courteously
whether pedestrian or motorist, you
are doing your part to prevent acct
dents, and remember that an ounce
of prevention is worth a pound of
cure.

When Car Sticks in Mud
Don't Speed Up Engine

When the car becomes stuck in the
mud do not try to put on speed to get
out. for this will only spin the wheels
and make them sink deeper. Put the
engine in low, go slow, and do not try
to turn from side to side, Keep
straight ahead If the front wheels
are turned ahead the engine must
push the car against the weight Of
the mud ahead.
If the wheels start spinning put on
the emergency brake just enough to
stop the spin. That will frequently
enable them to take hold. If it is pos
sible get any old rope, board, bushes,
sacks, or even a quantity of paper, and
put it under the wheels to help give
traction. 1t is also advisable to apply
chains before tackling wet or muddy
roads

STRONG PREJUDICE
AGAINST DETOURS

On the worst modern highway de-
tour, dust that is only grit in the pes
simlst's teeth carries good roads rain
bows for the optimist.
Ordinarily, detours are found now
only in localities where new and bet
ter permanent construction is in prog
ress on the regular highways. The
detour still suffers from VIGOROUSLY
bad name of long standing, in spite of
the large OUTLAWS to raise its standing
with the road-using public AS rule,
1t is condemned without even trial.
Only by presenting a perfectly smooth
way can the detour surmount the
mountain of public prejudice and get
even fair rating.
Special efforts are made by the
Minnesota highway department to pro-
vide good detours-and allay the COM
mon prejudice against detours. Where
construction will close q section Of
trunk highway, the department always
tries to select the best possible detour
Nearly always the detour is strength
ened and sometimes virtually rebuilt
to carry the extra burden of traffic
that is to be thrown upon it and often
the preparations are begun months in
advance There are limits on the ex-
pense that reasonably may be incurred
to furnish temporary route during the
progress of Improvement of the per-
manent highway. In some situations
involving large volume of traffic, pro-
vision of a first-class detour would cost
practically as much as the building of
the permanent heavy-duty highway.
That is especially true on sections on
light, sandy soil.
The department policy, however, is
to keep detours in the best condition
that reasonable expenditures will per-
nit, all things considered, and to ask
road users who are paying all the
bills to bear in mind that little dust
nuisance and temporary discomfort are
making large savings for them and are
merely the forerunners of a good road
soon under their vehicles.
Jokes about pots of gold" for high
way contractors at the ends of detour

Road Improvement Paid
for in Shorter Time

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
The Improvement of the important
roads of the country pays for itself in
a remarkably short time, according to
the bureau of public roads of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. Data collected in a survey of
highway transportation in Maine indi-
cate that on the basis of present traf-
fic the 300 miles of most heavily trav-
eled road in the state could be inn
proved from an earth-road condition
to a high-type pavement at a cost,
with interest at A per cent, which
could be repaid by the savings in OPP
Grating costs of passenger cars only
in slightly more than four years.
The actual saving would be even
greater than this. Records show that
traffic on the Maine highways doubled
in the period from 1916 to 1919, that
it doubled again from 1919 to 1923,
and a careful analysis indicates that
it will double again in the period 1924
to 1890. AS the traffic increases nat
urally the savings in motor-vehicle
operation will increase.
RAPID increase in highway traffic
and large possible savings in motor
vehicle operation due to the improve
ment of important roads is condi-
ton common to every state. Thomas
H. Macdonald, chief of the bureau of
public roads, says: eve pay for i'm
proved roads whether we have them
or not, and we pay less if we have
them than if we do without"
