SUGGESTIONS GIVEN MOTORISTS
IF AND WHEN CAUGHT SPEEDING
Few Are Found Able to Resist Constant
Temptation to Drive at Rate Beyond
the Legal Limit.

For instance, If a motor cycle police
man rides up alongside your car and
motions you to the curb. rever pay him
even the honor Of glance, but keep
Serenely on your way, or II you have
some friends or relatives In the car and
you do not care for his presumably OBJ
noxiouS position alongside your car.
then just speed up as fast as your car
will 90 and try and leave him far
behind.
Two Reasons Assigned.
There are two rearsons which should
recommend this course, in my opinion:
First, you will have all the thrills OF
very exciting race. OF course you may
have an accident at such high speed
and be killed or manned for life. but
YOU should never allow that thought to
affect you or the other occupants OF
your car. You should firmly remind
them and yourself, If need be, that We
all have to die sometime. Second, the
motor "cop" may be a good sport ana
will recognize that fact that you are a
person who loves an exciting chase. He
will very likely respect the trait IN you
which will not permit you to act weak
kneed and give up without desperate
struggle. Besides, he may also Ike q
real good chase himself and feel that
he has had such a good time that II
would be ungrateful to arrest you. From
my person acquaintance with motor
cops" have determined that there Is
nothing they like so much as break
neck ride through crowded streets In
pursuit of some fleeing autoist. Espe-
cially on damp or rainy days. and par
ticularly If you make them turn q lot
of corners, as riding around corners a.
high speed on wet days increases the
hazards to the cop" until he cannot
fail to get thrill and plenty of them.
Conditions Prompt Finesss.
However, if you decide TO stop Of
your own accord, or some unfortunate
traff1c condition permits no other course,
1t is then that you want to really EN-
ploy some flneSse, such as / will recon-.
mend, in the manner in which YOU
handle him. First, you must try and
look him straight in the eye-glare II
you can-and demand in no uncertain
terms What in h he means by dar-
ing to interfere with your progress"
Never by any means allow him to get
in a word. even edgewise, but at all
times dominate the situation.
AS primary course of action would
suggest that you remind him that you
are essentially kind.hearted man and
one who would regret exceedingly any
necessity which might cause you to take
action which may mean to him the loss
of his Job.
II he is Of the type who does not ap-
the foregoing. why. then you must adopt
an entirely different manner and mede

Seamen Discussing Left-Turn System Here
Point to Uniformity of Rules for Ships

some maneuvers and. with about three
destrovers, were waiting our turn to go
through the Panama Canal locks.
Traffic had been very heavy and the
pilots were working without their cuSto-
mary DAYS off SO the one who had
boarded us TO direct us through said
he had been going for the past seven
DAYS and in that time ne had not
twice handled a ship of the same ma
tionality. When he said that ! looked
around and saw at that time flags OF
four other countries besides our own.
Can you picture what would have been
the results II all OF those masters had
not known they were operating under
the same rules and had not been en-:
tirely familiar with them. OF course
the pilot did not speak the language
Of all the nations whose ships he had
guided or passed but they all knew
the international rules of the road and
their very uniformity made 1t possible
for him to succeed in his task of
safety"
Sees Wrong Turns Made.
''Why don't believe that lot of the
local drivers know right now what turn
to make in some places and when to
make different style" interjected an
other man who has sailed in nearly
every sea though not In the uniform
Of his Uncle Sam. 1--WE seen them
make rotary turns when the code said
TO make turns in the HoOVer-way and
then I've seen that method used when
the rules said to swing wide TO the
right. MiX these drivers along with the
tourists who naturally don't know what
to do since there Is no uniform rule
here and since Washington has SO far
refused to follow the rest OF the country
and it's no wonder that things are a:
they are. Picture Singapore. South.
ampton. Hongkong, Naples, Cherbours
or Colon with every one navigating In
accordance with the special rule oil
their own country while the native
pilots were madly casting around tc
see whether. under each moment:
shifting conditions they should go star
board or port. That's a situation yot
ought to present to those people who
don't think there's veg much in thi:
question of uniformity.
And don't forget" was the conclud'
ing sally, that none of us would have
lived to get very salty II 1t hadn't
been that. under q system OF uniform
and universal rules Of the road. ont

one of them that If 1t weren't for a

chances for safely completing a voyage
would be slim indeed. For years. more

worldwide traffic rules OF the ocean
highways 1t makes no difference what
sea we are travelling or what flag flies
at the mast OF the ship we may be
meeting or passing, we know what she
will do and what her signals mean and
better still we know that she has no UNI
certainty as to just what course we are
going to take.
THAT'S the big advantage of uni
forrnity as I see tit removes doubt

other fellow is going to do and he is

I'D one of the others. when driver
