AG1T00NE0BfITE}H8a1 A10NE 81 :
Cutting Out

One of the most reprehensible
practices that can be INDUCED in by
a mOtorist is that of cutting out to
the left of a line of traffic in an eff
fort to pass machines ahead of him
on highways which are too narrow
TO allow three machines to pass
abreast, for he Immediately places
his machine on that section of the
highway reserved by law and GUS
tom for vehicles approaching in an
opposite direction, and unless he can
get back to his own side of the high
way in time to avoid them, he is ex-
tremely likely to become involved
in a head-on collision of which his
negligence in driving on the wrong
side of the highway will be the prox-
innate cause.
This practice is especially dang
erOus when proceeding up a hill or
around a sharp curve where the Op-
orator is unable to see what may be
approaching on the left hand side of
the road, and no matter how severe
the strain of proceeding in line of
vehicles which are not moving fast
enough to conform to the wishes of
the operator may be, it should never
be INDUCED in.
In fact, the only places where a
driver may safely cut out of the
traffic line are where he has a clear
view of the highway for consider
able distance ahead and there are
wide spaces between the machines
travelling in the same direction as
his own which will enable him to
pull to the right-hand side of the
highway should an emergency rise.
There is no duty on the part of the
driver proceeding in an orderly man
ner upon the right-hand side of the
highway to slow up or stop in order
to make room for an operator who
has cut out of the traffic line to pass
him on the left, the only obligation
imposed upon him being to keep far
enough to the right hand side of the
road to enable the other driver to
pass and not to increase the speed
of his machine at such a time in or
der to prevent the other driver from
passing him.
Milford chronicle., 1926-07-30

The driver cutting out of a traffic
line may, therefore, be said to do so
at his own risk, as he will be liable
not only to the operators of ma
chimes coming in an opposite direc-
tion, should a collision occur, but
also to the operators of the machines
which he is trying to pass, should he
collide with one of them in attempt
ing to get back to his proper side of
the highway.
The practice of cutting out has be-
come such a prolific cause of acci-
dents that in certain parts of the
country, the construction of a curb
in the center of the highway has
been seriously considered in order
to prevent operators from indulging
in cutting out at any time. This
would undoubtedly work hardship
in some instances, but when it is
considered that even the slowest au-
tomobile is capable of moving at a
speed approximating that of a fast
railway train, it would probably do
considerably more good than harm,
particularly if horse-drawn vehicles
were excluded from such highways
and all motorists required to move
at a reasonably rapid rate of speed.
The only other method of dealing
with the practice would be to make
cutting out a criminal offense per Sc
whether the particular offense re-
suited in an accident or not.
Certainly, such a regulation would
be proper and constitutional under
the police power, for a driver who
cuts out of traffic line on a crowd
ed highway might be said in almost
every instance to violate the existing
statutes forbidding reckless driving.
1t is, however, to be hoped that as
the general standards of patience
and self-control among our motoring
public are raised by education to a
point where good judgment takes
precedence over haste, the practice
of cutting out will fall into the same
disrepute which has engulfed the
operator who drives an automobile
while under the influence of intoxi-
eating liquor, and the enactment Of
any stringent regulations on the sub
ject be avoided.

New Gas Claimed
to Have Number
Of New Qualities

r. c. Holmes, president of The
Texas company, announces that a
| new gasoline, on which the company's
engineers have been working for sew
eral years, has been placed on the
market
The new gasoline is the result Of a
vast amount of experimenting by
chemists and refinery experts who
aimed to produce a pure gasoline,
containing no chemicals, which would
have exceptional anti-knock qualities
for smoother engine action, and ut the
same time have the higher volatility
which would insure complete vapor-
ization in the engine manifold, better
cylinder distribution and less crank
case dilution.l
The Texas company has succeeded
in turning its entire production into
a grade Of gasoline with a combina-
ton Of good qualities never before at
tanned.
The new process is called the
Holmes Marley process; for large
part of which Mr.. Holmes, formerly
manager of the refining department,
is responsible. It is claimed that the
new product entirely solves the gaso-
line problem for the motorist. It not
only prevents the fouling Of spark
plugs, but because Of its higher
volatility, gives better, more even cyl
inder distribution resulting in easier
starting, smoother and much better
engine performance, and decided
gasoline economy. The new gasoline
is said to contain no chemicals Of
any kind, and needs none.

BONUS BUREAU
SEEKS 5000
WAR VETERANS
That Many North DakOtans
Have Failed 10 Apply
For State Bonus

Five thousand men who enlisted
in the army from North Dakota dur
ing the world war are being sought
by the compensation division Of the
adjutant generals department, ac-
cording to r. ID. Hoskins, manager.
No special effort is being made to
locate them, the number is too great,
but Hoskins wishes they would send
in their records so that they may
get the bonus to which they are
entitled under the terms of the state
soldier bonus act.
So far as the department knows the
earth has opened and swallowed most
of these men or else they don't need
the money. The department has on
file their records, showing that they
were indicted into the army, but no
applications.
Despite the fact that it is nearly
seven years since the bonus act was
passed, additional applications for
the bonus are being received every
week. Some times the number is
five or six. In many instances, Hos
kins said, the men explain that
they did not feturn home after the
war and knew nothing Of the bonus
having been granted.
To date the department has sent
bonus checks to all parts Of the
world except Australia. Many have
gone to Scandinavian countries and
other parts of Europe. others have
gone to Asia and South America. and

EMPLOYMENT
CONDITIONS
ARE NORMAL
Marked Improvement Seen in
Number of Leading Lines,
Since Last Month

Employment conditions in North
Dakota are generally regarded as
satisfactory by the United States
labor department in it's report on the
West North Central district. received
here today. "A marked improvement
has been seen in a number Of lead
ing lines since May" said the report.
"A considerable amount of construc-
ton work is being done and resident
workmen are well employed. Nor
NAL quotas are utilized in major in
dustial plants.
AT Fargo" the report said, 1.-THE
brisk call for farm help, noted last
month, continues with the supply of
experienced men fully adequate, how
ever. Building operations are more
active than in May and local trades
men are practically all employed. A
large packing concern has started
work on a creamery produce plant to
cost approximately 100000 and
which will employ about so mon and
women when completed. Local manu-
featuring plants continue to operate
at normal"
Farm Labor in Demand
The industrial condition ut Grand
Forks is declared tn be normal for
this season with industries utilizing
normal forces and agricultural labor
i'm brisk demand.
Of'tke other states in this area.
conditions in Minnesota are held to
be very satisfactory. In Missouri u
slight surplus of common labor is re-
ported which will be absorbed when
the wheat harvest gets under way.
Clerical help is in better demand.
Iowa also reports an increased call
for clerical workers and conditions
generally are good. The same c0ndi-
tions prevail in Kansas and Nebraska.
In South Dakota there is a surplus
of both skilled and unskiiled labor
and conditions are Somewhat more
unsatisfactory than month ago"
