Without good drivers it is obvious

tors licenses. As matter OF
fact, the manufacturers and safety
advocates believe that among the
many millions of people who NEVER
have so much as tried to handle q
ear there are better drivers than
many who now operate cars. The
problem, it seems, is to unearth
this undeveloped ability.
Demand God
The demand today for good drivers
may accomplish this task in q
natural manner, according to those
who believe that many of the pres
ent drivers have gone about as far
as they are able in the line of self
improvement. Many of the persons
who make claim to driving ability
are having their licenses revoked or
suspended, and many Of them are
being barred from the road alto.
gether. Others are finding that
increasing age, or illnesses, are
rapidly removing them from the
ranks, while still others are passing
out Of the picture according to the
laws of nature.
While the demand for more COM
petent drivers is increasing, there
fore, the present supply is being
thinned out in very natural way.
Accordingly new field is being
developed among those people who
do not drive cars at present and
who perhaps feel that they are in
capable Of doing SO.
TO this end every effort is being
made to simplify the controls of the
automobile and to make the vehicle
itself inherently safer and fool-proof.
Though it is seldom viewed from
this angle much OF the simplicity
that is being urged upon traffic
officials is nothing more nor less
than the process of laying smooth
er road for the people who will be
joining the motor ranks in the
future.
One Of the interesting phases Of
the subject is the development of
the rent-a-car idea. The leading
taxicab interests in the country

red from the wheel are in a posi-
ton to hire a chauffeur. To sell
the car represents an investment
loss, and hiring taxis or other
forms Of transportation is no pal,
atable substitute for driving ones
own car. The logical step, there
fore, is. to look to some other mem
Der of the family.
In the meantime, the entire
situation can be vastly improved
by a determined effort on the parf
OF present drivers to grow with
the automobile and to improve
with it. This will go a long way
toward meeting the serious dema nd
for better drivers.
