Passing Two Cars PerilOus
When you see driver starting

though he sounds his horn, you
have an instance where magma
ton is sadly lacking. The driver
does not figure on the possibility
of the man ahead OF. him trying
TO get at the head of the line
simultaneously. Any driver who has
started To pass another car knows

shows that it is nothing more nor

Drivers who have analysed 1t for
themselves say that every now and
again they can picture the situation
of meeting another car at a danger
Gus po-ilt. Very often they slow
down. stop or sound their horn at
points where such precaution Is
later shown TO be unnecessary. but
this sort OF ina gination serves them
just often enough to earn for them
the reputation of being possessors

Matter of Habit
Psychologists are discovering that
1t is largely this lack of ability to
look ahead that is causing a large
percentage of the troubles on high
ways. What is particularly inn
portant for the motorist to con
slider is that acquiring this ability
is largely a matter of habit.
Everything seems to point to the
fact that carelessness is the i'm
abb ity or reluctance to anticipate
the possibility of failure to accom-
plish a given task in driving, and
that no driver can be certain of
himself unless he has considered
every reasonable possibility This
is the only process in the way Of a
conscience available TO the auto
driver.

ones driving it IS necessary to
question ones Imagination faculties.

West Virginia, just across the Ohio
river. is powerful object lesson to
the miners on the dire consequences
of union defeat, and they are deter

ises of more work at lower pay.
Nevertheless unemployment, poverty
and acute misery may. force a break
in the Hooking valley if the national
union does not succeed soon in lessen
ing the pressure on the Ohio miners.
If non-union West Virginia and the
ever-growing non-union circle in. west
ern Pennsylvania are allowed to op-
crate without effective opposition,
sheer hunger this winter may force
,capitulation in the isolated coal re-
gions of south central Ohio. Already
the blight of non-unionism has Sc
