No. 93-Automobile Sense.

Smith was relating the details of
a collision which he had narrowly
averted when he added:
What surprised me was not the
impending danger, but the sensible
thing ! did to avert the smash-up. |
don't know why ! should have done
the right thing a the right time,
but | did
YOU mean that when you saw the
situa tion you were getting into you
turned over to the other side of the
street automatically?"
Exactly" he replied. "As mat
ter of fact that wasn't the first time
I had noticed how I instinctively do
the right thing without half think
ing about it. Perhaps it's just a
streak of good luck
ITS automobile sense I corrected
him. you've heard of horse sense
and common sense, haven't you?
Well, the driver of a motor car ac-
quires something on this same order.
Rather | should say that some driV-
ers acquire 1T. It's just about as
rare as the other kind of sense"
Auto sense Illustrated.
Perhaps you're right" Smith said.
81 remember little incident that
happened the other day. | was com
on the point of passing another car
when for some strange reason |
started to slow down. There was no
reason why ! should not have at
tempted to pass the other car eX-
cept for the sound of a car approach
ing from behind. I was then out
toward the center of the street, but
in spite of the fact that l suspected
the man behind wanted to pass
1t,"t n 1n ,rh
thing told me' to stay right where l
was and keep going slower. The
next instant the car behind passed
me on the right at high speed and
then, passing around to the front of
my car, overlook the machine ahead.
If l had driven in accordance with
rules you can see what fine predica-
ment I would have been in.
The other fellow apparently had
no conception of law or decency;
otherwise he would have sounded his
horn, waited for me to turn over TO
the right and then pass by. But he
didn't do anything of the kind yet l
managed to prevent trouble by fol-
lowing hunch to stay where l was"
Acquired Through Practice.
THAT was simply another instance
of automobile sense" l replied. Like
all refeXeS 1t is acquired through
practice. You have met SO many of
these incompetent drivers in your
motoring that you know them by the
sound of their engines
Their engines?" Smith asked, won
deringly.
You doubtless noted from the
sound of the exhaust of the car be-
hind that the driver was feeding gas
in harum- scarum manner. From
this one fact you deduCed uncon-
sciously that he wouldn't be likely to
care which side of you be passed.
You imm ediately blacklisted him as
highway hazard, and so you in
stinctively gave him the road"

it is just this sort of rare acquisition

Taking Active Part in Nation
Wide Campaign Secretary
Hoover Sponsors.

Women are beginning to take an
active part in the Nation wide cam
paign, inaugurated last December by
Secretary Hoover, for greater safety
on streets and highways. Thus far
California women are leading the
way in cooperating with local, State
and National officials in the move
ment to minimize traffic fatalities.
California women have declare d
war on street and highway accidents
and are mobilizing their forces for a
long and intensive Statewide cam
paign of education in safety and acci-
dent prevention, according to reports
received by Secretary Hoover.
Woman's Division Formed.
This campaign is being organized
by the woman's division of the Cali
fornia Development Association, and
is being participated in by the Cali
fornia State Automobile Association,
the Automobile Club of Southern Cali
fornia, the State Parent-Teacher As
sociation, the State Federation and
The General Federation Of Women's 5
Clubs, the police departments of San
Francisco and Los Angeles, repre-
sentatives of railroads and trans
,portation companies, and a number
Of other State and local organizations.
At Il recent meeting a large number
of facts regarding conditions through
out the State were reported by the
representatives of these various or
CARNATIONS.
Plans adopted at this meeting call
for an organization period of "A
weeks, during which time district
chairmen of the five major districts
of California viii be appointed.
- -, Il
by these district chairmen, local
chairmen will be appointed by the
county chairmen, and the local chair
men will organize local safety COM
mittees. The entire work Of organi-
zation is expected to be completed
by June l.
Drive to Begin J-nc 1.
Starting on June l the various
local committees will begin a. six
month competitive campaign to re-
duce street and highway accidents in
their respective communities. On
December l statistics relative to re
duction in accidents will be compiled
and prize awarded to the Commu-
nifty showing the greatest percentage
of accident reduction during the six
month period.
The women's division of the Cali
fornia Development Association,
which is taking the lead in this move
ment. includes in it's advisory com
mittee the mayors of Los Angeles,
San Diego and San Francisco as well
as police and other officials of yari-
Gus cities of California. 1t also in
cludes representatives. of several col
legeS and universities, automobile
clubs, federations of women's clubs
and other organizations. The cam
paign will follow recommendations
adopted by the National Conference
on Street and Highway Safety, in
which it was pointed out that lit is
the community that largely controls
the factors that make for a reduced
accident toll"
In the report to Secretary Hoover
it is stated that the campaign has
for its objective "a Christmas present
for the State of California in the
form of statistics showing the num-
ber of lives saved to the State due
to the nt-prevention program. "

FIRE AT KANATAK DOES DAMAGE TO
 ASSOCIATED PLANT

A fire, which originated in cor rugated iron shed adjoining the boil. CT house near the derrick of the AS sociated Oil Company, threatened for time to seriously cripple the plant. ~
 The shed was used to house the engine and generator, which furnish ed the lights for the camp, and pow. CT for the wireless plant, and also for the storage of residue.
 A spark plug was being tested on top of the engine, when a spark lg nited some gasoline on the engine The flames leaped to pool of wat CT on the floor containing gasoline In a few second the shed full of oil soaked residue was mass of flames A barrel of gasoline outside the shed connected with the engine by feed pipe, next ignited but did not eX plode. The fire soon spread to tht boiler house where piles of residue are stored near the boiler.
 Efforts to extinguish the flames were failing when the safety valve on the boiler let go, causing a stam pede among the fire fighters.
 The escaping steam from the boil CT soon smothered the flames. | was later found that the intense hea from the burning oil soaked residue had melted the fittings on the safe tv valve allowing the steam to es cape
 The fire caused little damage ex cept to char the framework of the iron buildings and to damage the wiring on the generator. Work ha: been resumed. There was very lit tie wind which kept the flames away from the derrick.

OLD ROADS NOT FINISHED

Demand for the construction Of two
or three new roads across the Cas-
cade range is coming several years
ahead of the completion of the three
highways already under construction.
Under the most favorable circum-
stances several years work. will be
needed to finish the North Bank, Sun
set and Naches Pass highways.
The North Bank highway is the
only road that will give an all-year
route from eastern to western Wash
ington and it has the advantage over
the Columbia Highway in Oregon
that the North Bank route, being ex
posed at all times to the winter sun,
will never be closed by a "silver
thaw," as was the Oregon road few
years ago.
Tho recent highway crew carried
on construction work on the North
Bank highway, short distance east
of the Clarke county line, the inn
provement between Camas and Wash
ougal is yet to be ordered; another
contract is necessary to carry the
road over the new route into Prindle
and then the highway will need extra
work in several places between Lyle
and Prindle. Temporary use of a
county road lets travellers into Gold
endale from Lyle but ultimately 80
miles of construction around Lyle
mountain and on to Maryhill will be
ordered. Then 1O5 miles Of road be-

SINCERITY

IN the honors accorded to the late
: William Jennings Bryan there is a
lesson for every young man who is
looking forward to success in life
The homage the great in all parts of
the world paid to the Commoner, was
the honor that thinking men extend
to sincerity.
Most people disagreed with many
of the causes that Bryan championed
He was too forcible in his statements
too firm in his convictions to win
general agreement from others. Thru
out his thirty years in public life we
find him uncompromising in his posi-
ton on great issues. He cared little
whose toes he trod upon. He was true
alone to his own convictions.
But he was always sincere. He
fought for reforms he felt would ben
eft the great majority of his fellow
countrymen. He never hesitated to
take an extreme position once con-
WINGED that the welfare of the great
est number Of his own citizens was at
stake.
For this sincerity and courage and
not the ideas and causes he advanced
the great and near great turnout the
world with one accord united in do
ing honor to his memory
This gives the lie to the philosophy
that says success is achieved through
hypocrisy, insincerity, and mental
dishonesty.

BILLION MILE TRAVEL

Motor vehicles travelled 1,192,913,.
900 miles i'm this state during the first
six months of 1925, gain of 200,-
475, 1000 miles over 1924 an analysis
of the gas tax receipts by the state
treasurer shows. This estimate of
mileage is based on the theory that
none of the gas for which tax re-
bates We're collected from the state
was used for motor vehicle transpor-
tation and also that the average car
travelling ION the average road or
paved city street used an average of
gallon of gas to cover 16 miles-a
figure motor vehicle dealers say is
fairly representative since all class
es of roads or streets and every va
riety of vehicle is considered.
Gas tax collections up to July /,
had run "a trifle over 10 per cent
above those of 1924 and if continued
at this rate thruout the second half
of the year would bring the total
mileage far above the two billion
mark.
State Treasurer w. G. Potts points
out the fact that gas tax receipts of
his office cover the gas actually sold
during the preceding month so that
July collections cover travel during
June. And the gas tax collections of
last January affected business done
in December, 1924. Therefore while
state officials believe July travel has
broken all records and that the sum-
mer of 1925 will make an enormous
showing of traffic the gas tax figures
to cover the whole summer will not
be available until the end of Septem-
Der when August tax totals are COM
puted. .u,- ~--. .-.+...
