by them this week.

they have so far been able to do
Senator Warren said. And he add

Senator Kendrick expressed the
opinion that the President apparent
ly is convinced that there is no
immediate need for a special ses-
sion to consider the Mississippi riv-

though the matter seems to be.
In Denver early this week, SEN

declarations he had made at Sheri-

this summer, that is that he strong
ly believes it a most imperative
matter that the President call a
special session not only to consider
the relief needs of the Mississippi

HOOKER BUYS INTEREST
OF PARTNER, TOM KANE

A deal was closed last week
whereby Claude Hooker takes over
the interest of Tom Kane in the
Cody Bus line and will operate the
same in the future alone. Ill

Mr.. Kane retire from active work
at the present time. The change
in the business was made the first
of the month.
Mr.. Hooker has been associated
with Mr.. Kane for seven years,
and during the last three years
has had an interest in the business.
He is a live wire young business
man and under his supervision the
business should be carried on in
a most efficient manner.

Besides these notables who made
the museum a special object of sight

many m of interesting folks
from all over the country. with a
visitor from Holland, and a few
from Australia. Ranking closely
with the distinguished guests in
interest is the addition to the col
lection. And next m the gifts
to the museum. All of these show
what a really important thing to
Cody and also is this memorial
tribute to its famous founder. Col.
William Frederick Cody.

Auto Driver Can Profit by Controlling
Temper and Observing Others Errors

Virtually any motorist could become
a good driver it he would learn to prof
1t by the mistakes of other motor
vehicle operators, according to Oscar
Coolican, local Packard distributor,
who points out that the lessons thus
available often are lost because the
offended driver loses his temper.
Thousands of drivers" says Mr..
Coolican, "are enraged when another
motorist takes their right of way. Their

.AUTO|ST CAN PASS
CAR |N6SECONDS
Bureau of Standards Tests
Establish Safety Limit
In Traffic.

A motorist can pass another auto
mobile and get back safely on his own
side Of the road in a standard time of
0 seconds, practically regardless of
the makes of the two cars.
This figure has just been establish
ed by tests at the Bureau Of Stand
ards TO determine the safety limit in
traffic and assumes that the two cars
are proceeding along a comparatively
level road at a uniform speed and
that the car being passed does not
suddenly put on speed
The result was obtained by scores
Of experiments with Bureau of Stand
ard cars. and stands for the average
driver. 1t does not make any differ
ence IL tho vehicle being passed is a
high.speed automobile or q horse
drawn hay wagon. If a motorist is
passing the hay wagon at the same
speed, about 3 miles an hour, he re-
qures seconds to get by safely, just
the same as il he were following an
automobile going 30 miles an hour.
The tests, conducted under the direc-
tion of DIR. il. G. Dickinson. assume
that the automobile which tries to pass
IS a distance behind the other car which
would require one and half seconds
to cover at the uniform speed of both
vehicles. This distance, DIR. Dickin-
son believes, is the limit of safety in
which a stop can be made with as
surance against a crash If the other
car stops suddenly. 1t requires about
q second, he believes, for the alert
driver to register the fact that the
man ahead is going to stop and about
n half second to apply properly adj
justed brakes
The problem solved by the Bureau
of Standards experts was one of ac-
celeration to which particular atten-
ton is being devoted with various
makes of standard cars.
The extremely skillful driver, the
tests show, can safely reduce the time
Of passing and getting back safely on
his own side of the road to 3 seconds
by driving ahead until his radiator
just laps the rear of the other car.
This would give him an opportunity
TO drop back If he saw anything in
the way and. IL the road was clear, to
make a quick dash ahead. This sort
of driver is likely to prove a bad pest
on the road, DR.. Dickinson believes,
unless he knows his business, and ad-
vises the average driver to stick to
the 6-second limit.
The driver, DR.. Dickinson said, can

URGES SIGNAL LIGHTING

Industrial Association Suggests
System Similar to That in Wash

ington and extending the scope of
one-way thoroughfares from streets to
at least two avenues, where no cross
traffic will be permitted, recently
We're put forth by the Lower Man
haitian Industrial Association. These
suggestions are designed to facilitate
north and southboupd traffic on Man
haitian.
The main idea behind the sugges-
ton Is to keep traffic on these streets
moving in steady stream. No
cross traffic would be permitted over
these two avenues, cars desiring to
cross having to turn into the avenues
and turn out several blocks north or
south.
In order that pedestrians be en-
abled to cross the streets it is sug.
gested that lights on these two
avenues be based on the "block" idea,
as used in Washington.

test this 6-second limit by simple
method. First get in the rear Of the
other car and run along at the uni.
form rate of speed. Then wait until
a car appears in the road ahead. Do
not try to pass, but instead count ap.
prOXimate seconds. The driver will
soon acquire judgment of the dis
tances of approaching cars and the
possibility of passing without danger
of an accident.
This figure, the Bureau Of Stand
ards experts found, holds good up
to speeds of 40 miles an hour, when
a higher time limit is necessary, be.
cause the average car will not accel-
crate so fast at this speed. With the
increase in speed the distance to be
covered also increases rapidly. For
instance, to pass car going 20 miles
an hour it Is necessary to go $50 feet
For car going 80 miles an hour it is
necessary to cover a distance of 500
feet

same effect on other drivers. Thus. he
would see the advantage Of giving
clear, concise signals, and after q while
signal-giving would become a habit" !"
Other driving exhibitions designed
to evoke wrath, according to Mr.. Cool
lean, include excessive speed, passing
on hills. driving slowly in the middle
of the road, ignorance of important
provisions of the traffic code. wide,
sweeping turns, inching on the traffic
lights, starting on the amber light and
many others.
when we see the other fellow vio-
lating these or other provisions of the
law we should do more than voice
our wrath. We should pledge our.
selves not to commit similar offenses
because we realize the danger and
annoyance involved. Profiting by the
mistakes of others is tried and
proven method of gaining knowledge.
1t applies in the field of driving an
automobile as we'll as in any other
sphere Of human activity"
