T|M|D DRIVER BEST,
!. OFFICIAL DECLARES
Good" Driver Figures in
Most Accidents, California
Expert Declares.

That the so-called good" drivers
often are greater menace to traffic
than timid motorists is the opinion of
Frank G. Shook, chief of the Division
OF Motor Vehicles of California, who
recently has made a study of accident
causes from reports received by his
department.
Most accidents" he asserted, ARE
not caused by the timid driver or the
novice, but those who think they can
drive well. Nervous persons, once
they get to know their car, are more
watchful and more alert and, there
fore, in the final analysis. make better
drivers. since carelessness and reCk-
lesSness have been found TO be the
greatest contributing causes Of smash
ups"
1t would be better. Mr.. Shook as.
serted, if some of the good drivers
were a little more timid and less sure
OF themselves.
The timid driver slows down at
intersections and curves he says,
while the good driver plows right
through, often to take the conse-
quences. This herman type may be
we'll at other things. but he's a menace
on the highways.
The same reason makes most
women good drivers once they learn.
Generally speaking thsv are more
nervous than men and . very watch.
full Driving is serious business with
them. 1t is brand new experience
that has come into their lives in re-
cent years to relieve them from the
drudgery of housework. 1t has given
them a feeling OF equality with men
more than anything else
To timid drivers Mr.. Shook offered
this advice:
Don't be ashamed of being timid.
Learn your car and its possibilities
until the simple mechanical acts be-
come automatic. Be glad you are a
nervous driver. Let the other fellow
take the risks. You'll live longer"

SkiIlful Car Keepjng.

In the days when virtually every
car operated in the city was stored in
a public garage, the matter of keeping
it clean and up to par was not such
q problem. There always was the
convenience of washstand service and
there was little real excuse for driv-
ing a shabby car. Today, however,
conditions are different.
Smith, for example, stores his car
in his own private garage. Many
garages, like his, have no water
drains nor any water connections. For
a genuine wash and polish, therefore,
it is necessary for him to drive over
to a specialist in this sort of work
and either wait around for an hour
or two or walk home and return for
the car later.
Many ear owners have worked out
successful systems for keeping their
cars in condition and some Of them
find that the logical time for washing,
polishing and greasing it is during
the day. But this presupposes the
use of the car for going to and from
business and takes no account of the
fact that the car may be desired by
other members of the family during
business hours.
The great majority of car owners
are finding it necessary to do their
own car keeping in whatever time
they can find for IT, and it is for this
reason that progressive chaps like
Smith are trying to devise efficiency
methods.
How to Save Time.
/ suggested to Smith the idea Of
using little practical psychology in
the matter of keeping the car looking
right, reminding him that mere
slavery to a car does not always have
the desired effect. We clean our cars
so that they will look right to our
selves and to others, and in achieving
this visual effect a little skill will
often save a considerable amount Of
time.
There is one car in the neighbor.
hood that is washed more frequently
than any other. yet it never looks
presentable. The nickel always is
clean but dull, and the excessive wash
ing has taken the life out of the paint.
Fifty per cent Of the washes have
been timed wrong, the jobs having
been done just before a prophesied
rainstorm.
Your time for keeping up the cars
appearance is as limited as anybody's."
/ conceded. but that's no reason why
you shouldn't keep the car looking

wayside. in the absence of municipal
camping grounds, care should be
taken In selecting a site.
The site should be on high ground,
IL possible, not too near water. to
avoid mosquitoes, and it should be
SO located that the sun strikes it dur
ing part of the day. to insure its be-
ing dry. 1t Is often advisable to ask
permission of the farmer to camp on
his land, as he can supply the tourist
with milk. fresh eggs and vegetables,
as well as good water.
If the camp is to be of permanent
nature, It is desirable to select a spot
where wood for the fire is available.
Avoid hollow places for the camp. as
they usually are infested with in
sects.

BILE, has brought a number of other
benefits which to the average person
are even more desirable than a fast
rear axle, according to $. O. White
Of the Warner Gear Co, who adj
dressed the Society of Automotive

meeting.
THE purpose of the fast rear axle
Is to reduce the speed of the engine
and the propeller shaft" he said
"and by means of this reduction in

vibrations and tho high speed rattle

will be encountered but seldom. With
the fourth speed, the rear axle will
turn more quickly while the engine
Is running at q slower pace.
"The other advantages which have
resulted from this type of transmits

q good polish by talking with automo'

Look to Hood First.
The most important part Of the
body to keep clean and polished is the
hood. Everybody notices that part
of a car, and it is what you have to
look at when you're at the wheel.
After the hood comes the back Of the
body and then the tenders.
IF you haven't already considered
It, you can save time on car keeping
by selecting a machine with tenders
painted to match the body, provided
a light hue is used. This is a coming
trend in painting. 1t illustrates the
fact that car keeping starts with car
buying.
The wheels are the least important
features in the cars appearance, for
they are in motion as you travel. and
all the observer sees is a blur. Bal.

getting themselves into a messy ap.

them off with rag that you have

HARD ON HIGHWAYS.
Heat Rays Bring Trouble to Auto
mobile Drivers.

Just as difficult to negotiate safely
as the dirt road that has been treated
to coating of oil is the macadam
or asphalt highway that has had the
tar boiled out Of it by the sun. Under
the excessive heat rays the binder
in such roads will work to the top,
giving the road a surface that is very
slippery. When driving over such
highway the same precautions that
are used on wet or icy street are
necessary if a serious skid is to be
prevented.
