tortst who wanted a car solely for
the speed thrills he could get out of
II. He used to burn up the road and
do it with comparatively little dan
ger to himself or others, because he
could select roads where thero was
very little chance of meeting another
car. Traffic conditions today make
this sort of thing virtually impossi-
passed out of the picture.
ITO take his place there is the man
who buys a fine car just for the sake
of owning fine things. He is usually
the man who has other cars for more
practical purposes. The new car is
selected for it's reputation, its beauty
and it's genuine quality. Parking is
not considered at all in its selection,
nor is gas mileage. He appears to
violate all rules when he buys, but
that is just because he has a differ

"Our investigation disclosed that
very few people own cars because
IL is the thing to do. Most of them
want cars for definite reasons, but
these may be varied. Transportation,

neeses to catch the numbers on cars
operated by "hit-and-run" drivers.
THE license plate manufacturers
contend that they have gone the
limit in keeping plates modern and
disable, considering the fact that
they are held down to the cheapest
article they can turn out. Some
States farm the license plate work
out to the prisons. which is said to
account for much of the lack of
progress being made in license plate
work.
Patents Arc Granted.
Throughout the country there are
many firms and individuals seeking
attention for their developments
along tho license plate line. Several
interesting patents have been grant
ed. But the motor vehicle depart
ments are not willing to pay for
the protection which the public OBJ
Yiously needs.
The average conscientious motorist
wants a license for his car even IL
he didn't have to license Dobbin. in
vestigations show. A license, he be-
lieves, is an aid to recovering his car
in the event that it is stolen by un-
experienced thieves. 1t helps him
locate his car quickly when it is
tical make and model. When he sends
some one to the garage to get his car
the license plate is again of service.
If anything happens while some
one else is operating his car, and the
facts are not revealed to him by the
driver, he is honest enough to de-
sire a license plate that can be read
by the victim.
Alarmed by State Views.
The motorist appears to be alarmed
over the States failure to recognize
the need for stronger plates with
simpler and surer methods of attach
ing them to their brackets. In many
sections of the country clamps of
all varieties are covering parts of
the numerals so that the plates cam
not be read intelligently at a glance
Owners are finding it necessary to
punch holes through the plates in
order to fit them on their cars,
usually chipping the paint and plac-
ing themselves in q position where
they must either purchase a new plate
at q. fancy figure or slip into the
usual rut of carelessness by forget
ting it,
No State has made any provision
for positive lighting of plates at the
time when Identification is most
essential-at night. Lighting laws
have to be resorted to in order to
prevent rear licenses from being
practically useless at night. Tho
front license plate becomes useless
with the setting of the sun. To
obviate this many practical plans
have been suggested. Devices have
even been manufactured. But the
motor vehicle departments refuse to
spend the motorists money where
it can do the most good. And why ?
Chiefly because the motorist is lust
now awakening to the necessity of
durable, legible, distinctive license
plates.

FINDS MOST ACCIDENTS
ON STRAIGHT STRETCHES
Maryland Official Says Curves
Cause Reduction in Speed and
Number of Crashes.

BALTIMORE. February 2s.-A ma
jority of the automobile accidents on
State roads occur on straight
stretches instead of at curves, ac-
cording to Harry D. Williar, jr.. engi-
neer of the Maryland State Roads
Commission.
Mr.. Williar expressed the opinion
that long stretches of straight road
encourage speeding and tend to in
crease the number of accidents. He
pointed out that Maryland has never
attempted to straighten all roads,
even at the expense of causing high
ways to pass several miles from
towns and villages.
Until recently, he said, roads in
Maryland were reconstructed on old
roadbeds, following winding routes
on which they were first established.

Mrs. Dorcas Creed of Sidney has
made more than forty articles OF
clothing from a single foundation
pattern which she constructed about
two years ago. All her dresses, slips
and blouses have been made from
this foundation pattern and not a
single commercial pattern has been
used during the last two years.
Mrs. Greed is a strong booster for
women making their own clothes
and cites her own story to show how
easily this can be done and how
many more clothes a woman can
have as a result of doing the work
herself.

IF only all the dairymen could I'M

worked through a good one, there
would be no need for such cam

many dairymen complaining of hard

At the present time the Hawkes.
farm has twelve cows, nine of which
are purebred Jerseys. They expect
to keep fifteen this winter, thus in
creasing the number, and at the
same time ever increasing the num-
Der Of purebreds. This is done by
retaining the daughters of the pure
breds they own and selling the
daughters of the grade stock. Ok

sire. is leased from David Moulton
