parkin' on a hill. They keep the
gears in either low or reverse, de-
pendin' supon which way the hill
slopes. On hills they let the car coast
with the clutch disengaged. Instead
Of usin' their brakes. when they want
to stop coastin' they just let in the
clutch. What this sort Of thing does
to a good clutch, however, is a story
in itself.
Some drivers save their brakes by
scrapin' the tires along the curb and
any number Of 'em let the treads do
the slowin' down when the car swings
around a corner.
It's all right to use a lower gear
and the engine to hold back the car
on a steep downgrade, but why start
the descent at 80 miles an hour when
1t Is Just as easy to go over the
top at 20? The speed at which some
persons go downhill in second is such
that it would be better in many cases
If they burnt out the brakes. 1t
would be cheaper, anyway.

Street Sweeper Has More Right in Street
Than Any Other, Court Ruling Indicates

The subject is one of many that
have been raised in connection with
court decisions relative to a motorists
liability in case of a traffic mishap.
The question of liability in this
case was asked of Mr.. Reid, who, in
his answer, points out that "the mo-
torist is liable If the workman Is so
occupied with his duties that he does
not watch for approaching vehicles.
A person whose duties require him to
work in the street has different rights
with respect to traffic than pedes-
trians"

BY WILLIAM UILNAN.


Precisely as balance is most to be
desired in n human being, SO is even
ness Of motor car handling the val
Ned attribute of a skillful motorist.
a sense of humor, an understanding
of the eternal fitness of things, a flair
for serious thinking and careful re-
Election, and all elements in proper
proportions-that is balance. The
principle may be applied to automo-
bile driving with excellent effect.
How many motorists are one-half
as we'll balanced in the car as out, or
b. fraction as well as the motor car
itself? A poll of acquaintances, or a
point Of vantage high in building
fronting a busy street, will show in
graphic fashion that balance is the
one all-encompassing asset in which
the motoring clan as a whole is sad
ay lacking.
The driver who ambles along at
eight miles an hour on congested
boulevard when other motorists are
speeding along and expediting traffic
lis he not a brother to the man
heavy handed in humor or lacking it
entirely?
Driving Is Balance Index.
odldHCc is the greatest HeeQ OIL lHG
individual if his life is to be a sue
ceSsful one. A lack of it shows up
in driving quicker than practically
anywhere else; while, on the other
hand, possession of it is Immediately
recognized by all careful observers,
Including the traffic policeman on the
corner.
BY what single act could the par
TALLY unbalanced person show his
deficiency in a clearer light than by
speeding up to 80 miles an hour with
in short stretch in q crowded street
and Jamming on his brakes to stop
an inch behind another car? Flash
aness in driving betokens a fiashiness
and shallowneSS of nature which
cannot be subverted when the indi-
vtdual becomes a motorist.
There can be no defense of the
fiashy driver; there can be no expla-
nation of the phenomenon other than
that somewhere in his makeup there
is a lack Of perfect balance; some
where along the line there is an
overemphasis, an overdevelopment,
or perhaps an underdevelopment.
Whatever 1t may be, however, the
speeding, brake jamming driver i'm
mediately exposes his nature and his
mental reactions. His car becomes
the open sesame" for the observant
watcher.
Could any one, under any circum-
stances, lay bare the processes of his
mind and the quivering of his nature
to a greater extent than does the
motorist who pilots his car, unneces-
earily, through safety zones? Does he
not indicate by his constant repeti-
tion Of this act a willfulness which,
more than likely, is carried through
in all his dealings-a background of
wanton disobedience, perhaps, even,
O. person not to be trusted under
even the least responsible Of circum-
stances?
Theory Is Important.
Exaggerated? Quite possible. Over
emphasis upon a theory which may
not hold water? Maybe. Too much
stress upon a small act which does
not necessarily show such heinous
line OF descent? Perhaps.
And yet this theory cannot be dis
missed by shrug Of the shoulders,
by a superficial sneer, or by simple
