Three Tricks of Traffic
Well Worth Remembering

To follow the street car or to fol.
low the car that Is trying to pass the
street car Is often the question when
one is in hurry. And one too oft
en- is fooled, usually by failing to
study the car and its driver. Every
motorist should know which cars are
quick on acceleration and easy to
shift. 1t is better to follow the street
car If the auto ahead is slow or If 1t
is driven by one who does not seem
to know how to master 1t.
Don't wait while cranking an en-
CINE that has stalled until the traffic
officer says "go." Place the gears in
low, let In the clutch and step on the
starter. The car will move slowly
while the engine is being cranked.
If the engine is out of gas, or some
thing has gone wrong with 1t, the car
may be across the street and edging
toward parking space by the time
the facts are discovered.
At night, it often happens that a
traffic officer cannot tell which way
motorists want to turn because their
headlights blind him so he cannot dis
tinguish their signals. It may be
wise to dim when expecting co-opera-
ton from the officer.

Side Motion Causes Tire
to Wear Away Rapidly

Anything which causes a tire to
drag with more or less side motion
instead Of running true will grind the
rubber tread away faster than normal.
Check your car over before starting
on trip to see whether you are los
ing tire service because of any of the
various forms of wheel Irregularities.
These include misalignment, improper
Gambler, wabbles, ETC.. and may result
from a bent axle, bent steering
knuckle, loose wheel bearing, bro
ken spring, bent spindle, or rim
unevenly placed on wheel. A brake
which drags will cause rapid tread

Modern Car Thief Will
Book All of His Orders

If you want to keep your automo-
bile from being stolen, sleep in it.
This, according to w. P. Young of
New York, secretary Of the National
Automobile Underwriters association,
is about the only way to beat the au-
tomobile thieves.
One of the greatest menaces con-
fronting the underwriters today is the
thief who books his orders for cars
several days before delivery, said Mr..
Young. h.
"The usual method is to ask the
prospective buyer If he wants to buy
certain make of car, which its own
er must sacrifice because his. wife
wants better one. He falls for this.
usually, and the thief salesman goes
of and steals the ca for the buyer"

ATTACK MADE ON
UNSIGHTLY SIGNS
Danger to Motorists by Lit.
tering Roadsides With
Misleading Markers.

An appeal for state officials every
where to bring about the removal OF
unsightly signs that create driving
hazards and mar the beauty of the
landscape has been sent broadcast
from national headquarters of the
American Automobile association.
In calling upon officials, principally
those in charge of road maintenance,
construction and supervision, the A.
A. A. bases its appeal on two points
First, that there Is so much advertis-
ing material along the highways that
the motorist constantly Is confused
between these variegated signs and
those set up by the authorities to in
crease the safety and convenience of
his journeying; and, second, that in
many instances the scenic beauty,
which is the great appeal in the call
Of the roads, is married because Of the
unsightly, tumbledown shacks Of all
kinds that constitute an eyesore to
the automobilists travelling along
many of the main highways.
Good Work Is Admitted.
In regard to the cleanup campaign
urged by the national motoring body,
Thomas P. Henry, president of the or
ganization, has the following to say:
Everyone recognizes the splendid
work the state highway departments
are doing not only in road, mainte-
nance and construction, but also in
the vital work of signposting and
marking these roads. At the same
time there can be no doubt that the
prevalence Of advertising material
side by side with legitimate road signs
Is a constant source of confusion to
the motorists. In tbis respect the big
commercial advertisers appear to be
great deal more careful in their
methods than are the other agencies
that resort to outdoor advertising to
attract the motor tourist.
son a recent motor trip~I noticed
dozens of cases where filling stations
and farmhouses seeking tourist trade
put up signs along the road that ap-
peared deliberate imitation of warn
ing signs set up by the state authori-
ties.
Examples Of Signs.
"For example, frequently saw a
sign something like this, Slow Down
Tourist Accommodation Ahead or
Slow Down -'Pawhawk Gasoline
Ahead When the motorist sees the
slow down he Immediately thinks
Of danger ahead, and the practice we
complain, of cannot fail to annoy and
confuse him.
"Signposting is getting more and
more vital with the increase in traffic
and the resultant congestion. OF
course a man has right to place an
advertisement on his own property or
to rent ground on which to place it,
but the safety and convenience Of the
travelling public is paramount.
at Is entirely feasible to work out
a plan whereby advertising material
would be placed farther from the CEN
ter of the highway than the warning
and direction sings, in order that the
latter may be easily and quickly diff
ferentiated. This is something to
which the state highway departments
may well give their consideration

BREAD AND WAFER IS NOTHING NEW
For Years, Navy Has Meted Out
 This Punishment

Washington, Sept. 2e P)-The tu- mutt and the shouting over a bread and water diet for liquor law viola tors in the middle west has caused only an amused smile among navy officers here.
 Bread and water has been an en- listed prisoners fare for misbe- havior ever since the United States has had navy, with the exception of two years when it was banned by Josephus Daniels, the secretary Of the navy. Under naval regulations bluejacket may be sentenced to 30 days on bread and water but 1t is seldom that the maximum is impos- ed, officers said. In the army the bread and water cure Is never inn posed for longer than 24 hours.
 It was said at the department of justice today that the action of two department attorneys who have gone on bread and water diet for three or four days" as an experi- ment, are unofficial. The two are Howard T. Jones' chief assistant to Assistant Attorney General Mabel Walker Willebrandt, in charge of prohibition prosecutions. and Arthur w. Henderson, In charge of admiral | ty cases

EXERCISES AS AID ID BEAUTY
Smile, Pout, Sniff and Roll Your
 Eyes, Experts Advise

London, Sept. 2e OP - "Exer- else your face" is the slogan of a new cult of beauty. If followers of the Mayfair beauty experts carry out instructions which are issued with this slogan there will be something more for the average observer to smile at. The instruc- tions include the following:
 Exercise your face in the omni- bus, train or in the car. Never lose an opportunity to work the facial muscles.
 "Pout the lips as often as pos. sible. This keeps the lips full and young and helps to charm away the lines of the mouth.
 Smile whenever you have a spare moment, but do not on any account allow the eyes to smile too.
 Roll your eyes. Give the glad eye to the whole world. Few peo- pie realize that the beauty of the eye is only maintained through exercise.
 Sniff. Only those who are con- tinually sniffing will develop fine sensitive nostrils.
 DO not be afraid to bite. Biting and chewing develop the muscles of the jaw and give that clear strong line to the profile"

Reyes Hopes to Identify Hand-
 writing Of Evangelist

Los Angeles, Sept. 20 Pl-Aimee Semple McPherson today will wit ness the introduction of the first de- tailed documentary evidence in the third investigation of her Kidnapping story which opened in municipal court here Monday.
 With the role of defendant to a charge Of criminal conspiracy added to that of the evangelist, the Angelus Temple pastor watches the accumu- lations of state evidence with some apparent apprehension but retires to her pulpit in the evening In q buoy ant mood to accept encouragement from her followers and in turn ridi- cule her accusers.
 Stenographic records were intro- duced yesterday in an attempt to prove that the evangelist spent part of the five weeks she was absent from her temple at Carmel -By-The- Sea in a cottage leased by Kenneth c. Ormiston, her former radio oper- ator. The records comprised pur ported conversations between How ard c. Benedict and Mrs. Lorraine -Sielaff. Benedict Is the owner of the cottage at Carmel-By- The-Sea, where Ormlston spent ten days with begoggled woman whom he has designated as Miss K" and who the state contends was Mrs. McPherson, Mrs. Selaff Is the con- fessed perpetrator of hoax to pro- duce masquerader for the role Of Miss K"
 After calling numerous witnesses from Carmel, several of whom iden- tified the evangelist as the woman who occupied the cottage, District Attorney Asa Reyes indicated his in tention of introducing the documen- | tary evidence today by instructing Milton Carlson, handwriting expert, to be prepared to take the witness 1 stand. Carlson will be called to | give expert testimony regarding the handwriting on two grocery slips l found in the Carmel cottage.
 As the hearing progresses the na- ! tion-wide search for Ormiston con- l tlnues with no positive information as to his whereabouts. Several | telegrams have been received by Reyes purporting to come from Ormiston. Yesterday the evangelists attorneys received a letter with the l radio mans signature attached.
