SCHOOL SAFETY
. DRIVE STARTS !

With record OF over 10000
school children instructed in safety
measures during the past school
year and sustained by the active
cooperation Of the local school au.
thorities. the District of Columbia
division III the American Automobile
Association this month is starting
its fourth years safety work in

Every effort Is to be made to
reach every child in the territory.
whether public. private or par
ochial school student and the indi-
cations are that the school boy pa.
troll is going to be even larger than
last year. when more than l.5OO
were enrolled in that movement.
A great impetus has been given
to the work this year. due to the
action Of Major H. G. Pratt. super.
intendant of police. who has detailed
one officer from each precinct in
the city to act as instructor and
inspector of the school-boy patrols
in his precinct.
"A new series of monthly posters
for free distribution to all of the
schools in the District and in near
by Maryland and Virginia has been
prepared. and each one will teach
a special safety lesson. One of the
features OF this portion of the school
safety work is the fact that the
posters are designed with children
figures, thus enabling the childish
mind to more rapidly visualize him

time To REPAIR
FOR WINTER

September Is the month chosen by
most motorists for giving the car a
thorough overhauling and getting
ready for cold weather driving. Two
or three thousand miles of vacation
motoring, during which the car
takes its hardest punishment of the
year, are enough to make the aver.
age family chariot develop all kinds
OF symptoms. A thorough inspection
by the garage man, little adjust.
ment where needed, the installation
OF good antisfreeze and the car will
be primed for the onslaught OF
winter.
First OF all, the crankcase oil
should be drained and replaced by
a lighter grade. The usual summer
oil is too heavy for cold weather use.
The storage battery should be in.
spected and given a drink of distilled
water. Ii this seemingly trivial
thing Is neglected, some one OF these
days you'll step on the starter and
find that 1t won't even turn the
motor over.
Spark plugs and distributor points
should be cleaned and set properly.
After a summer of continuous driv.
ing 1t is generally found that brakes
require attention. Most carburetors
need special adjustment for winter
driving. And while you're at It.
you'd better give the top a coat of
top dressing to help it weather the
winter storms.
Most important of all Is attention
to the cooling system. The sum.
mer's wear and tea may have
opened up small seams and leaks.
These should be carefully repaired.
During the summer. when the radia.
tor contained nothing more valuable
than water, they were not serious:
but when the cooling system is filled
with an anti.ffeeze solution you don't
want your protection to leak away.
The cooling system should be
thoroughly cleaned and flushed. and
all accumulated scale, dirt and sedi.
ment washed away. Hose and pump
packing should be checked to see that
they are tight and in good condition.
II YOU use radiator glycerine for
freeze protection. you can have your
cooling system filled now. while the
other adjustments are being made,
and anti-freeze worries will be elimi.

EFFECT OF FORD

rectly with the industry, we're In.

ity. These points of interest were:
what effect will Ford getting back
into volume production. have on
total sales during 1929 and what ef-
feet will Ford HAYES Son competitive
sales during 1929?
Production Increases
As the mid.point OF the year Is
past, q very interesting situation Is
found. During the first six months
of 1929, 3 ,223, 900 passen ,er cars and
trucks were produced in che United
States, as compared with 2,201,52l
units produced during the CORE
spending period OF 1928. In other
words. motor vehicle production dur.
ing the first six months represents
an increase Of 1,02l.569 units above
year ago. This increase Is par.
ticularlN interesting when it is
noted that the estimated Ford prod
uction during the first six months
OF 1929 amounted to 1,020,285 pass
enger cars and trucks, practically
the same amount as the increase
which took place in total produe-
ton. OF course. the estimated Ford
production during the first six
months of 1928 has not as yet been.
taken into consideration. However,
even when the 1928 figures are sub.
tracted from the 1929 figures,
Ford's gain in production over the
previous year is practically 100000
cars and trucks.
Ford Output Gains
The first six months production
for 1929 was equal to 46.4 per cent
more than was the case during the
first half of 1928. The actual
numerical increase which took place
in the estimated Ford production
during the first six months of 1929,
as compared with similar period
in 1928 was 799,969 units or 1858 Is
per cent above the 220,316 Fords
produced during the first half of
1928
Eliminating Ford from the pic
ture for the moment, it Is found
that 2,202,S05 motor vehicles were
produced during the first half of
1929. as compared with 1881 1853
similar units produced during the
first half OF 1928. an increase of

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
After many heated arguments,
we have decided to have you
Judge our opinions. VIII you
be kind enough to enlighten
us on these important subjects:
1. When a young man is walk
ing with two ladies. is it cor
rect for him to walk between
them, or on the side nearest
the curb?
2. In the matter of introduc.
tions: Who is presented, the
man to the woman. or vice versa?
8. When making an introduc.
ton, whose name Is mentioned
first, the woman's or the mans?
That is. is it correct to say
"Mr. Jones, Miss Smith," or Miss
Smith, Mr.. Jones'?

to know how soon our parents

2. Would it be all right If l
were to call my future mother

her to our home, or should l
invite her verbally? Should my
mother do this? l also thought
about writing a letter to her, but

With the best of form, as soon
as your fiance tells his parents of
the engagement, they come at
once to cali on you officially to
welcome you into the family. This
call is a very important one, and
Is supposed to take place within
"a hours after the young mans
parents know the happy news.
2. If the parents of your fiance
do not make this call l suggest
that you have your mother write
to them and invite them for

HOUSEHOLD
HINTS
To Clean Pewter


Antique pewter should be
cleansed only with the finest
abrasiyes. One excellent method
Is to pour over the pewter hot
water impregnated with wood
ashes (hot iye of wood ashes)
Then rub with very fine sand,
usirg a hard wooden rag, until
all dirt has been dissolved. Rinse
with water and allow to dry
without being touched, otherwise
spots will appear. Finally rub
with dry bran. New pewter is
polished with a paste Of whiting
and brandy, rubbing the articles
with it until the mass becomes
dry.
The Ingredients
Buy the best ingredients, espe-
cially for puddings and cakes
that are to be kept long. In.
ferior flour contains so much
moisture that it is not so likely
to do well. In any case, the
flour should be dried in cool
oven or in front of the fire, and
then rubbed through a sieve with
