BY II. CLIFFORD BROKOw,
Automobile Technical writer.

II is often surprising to find out how
little many people who presume to
drive automobiles know about rules Of
the road which are really vital. Doubt
less everyone knows that when one We
hicle meets another, each shall pass to
the right. Most people understand that
when one car overtakes another, the
car behind passes Cf it desires to pass)
to the left. But many drivers do not
right again until entirely clear of and
past the other car. In passing a street
car, one keeps to the right II the dis
lance between the car and the curb
permits and II one overtakes q street
car which has stopped for passengers,
one cannot pass, but must wait some
eight feet back until the way has been
cleared and the car moves on.
Every State, of course, has It's own
traflc regulations and every city or
community its own conception Of such
regulations. That a driver Is not ac-
quainted with the rules, particularly in
localities where he has occasion TO
travel often, Is no excuse, for a copy of
such laws may be secured by writing
to the secretary of any State. There
Is, however, general uniformity regard
ing automobile traffic regulations, so
that II one Is acquainted with them
thoroughly in ones own State, the
chances are that he win not 60 far
wrong when travelling away from the
usual surroundings. Some of these
rules are so universal that they can be
called common "courtesies" of the road
Keep to the Right.
Slow moving vehicles should always
keep to the extreme right. Some slower
moving vehicles are prone to be under
the impression that they are travelling
fast when they get out onto the high
ways which have been broadened tc
allow four streams of traffic to &c
abreast. Any number Of them take pos
session Of the inner lane (Which should
be used only by the fast moving trafic
and slow up long streams Of cars By
preventing their passing. The broad.
ened highways are not Of much use
when this happens. Always move ovel
to the right when q car behind signals
that 1t wishes to pass, and keep travel.
ing on the right unless you are speed.
ing faster than the cars in that lane
When at street intersections, or
curves, or going up or down hill, never
pass another vehicle going in the same
direction. At street intersections give
the right of way to the car at youl
right. Do not presume too much wher
you do have the right Of way. Per.
haps the other driver thinks he has Il
too. There are certain vehicles which
1t Is generally recognized have the right
Of way over all others, such as: United
States mail carriers, municipal depart
ments, fire patrol, ambulances, physi-
clans with police permits, military vehi-

NEGLIGENT BACKING HELD
CAUSE OF ACCIDENTS
Reversing Without Looking Is
Fraught With Danger,
Says Dealer.

That negligent backing Of automo-
biles is q prolific cause Of traffic acct
dents Is pointed out by Oscar Coolican,
local automobile distributor. It Is q
point on which both motorists and
pedestrians need to exercise consider
able caution, he declares.
There is perhaps no cause of traf-
flc accidents which Is so much the re-
suit of careleSSness as the backing Of
an automobile" says Mr.. Coolican.
THE motorist who puts his gears in
reverse and moves backward without
assuring himself that no one is in the
way Is not prompted by vicious i'm
pulse. He Is Just thoughtleSs, but 1t Is
q type Of thoughtlessness which Is
fraught with grave danger.
Analysis Of the state Of mind Of
such o driver probably win show that,
because his car Is moving In o back
ward direction, he does not look upon
its movement % being particularly
dangerous. He certainly would not
start ahead without satisfying himself
that the way was clear"

ORGANIZED BAND OF AUTO
THIEVES IN BALTIMORE
Police Are Unable to Recover 1913
Of 1850 Machines Stolen
Within Year.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, october 11.-An or
gained band of automobile thieves, the
first in nearly seven years, has been
operating in Baltimore in the last few
months, according to the police.
They based their belief on the fact
that they have been unable to recover
1913 Of 1880 cars reported stolen this
year. Last year 1905 Of 1880 machines
reported stolen in nine months were
recovered.
Last month 247 cars were reported
stolen and of these the police were
unable to recover IS, while the usual
average lost in the last five or six
years has been no more than 10 or
II q month.
The fact the majority Of autos stolen
in the past month were old models,
leads police TO believe the auto jacks"
are directing their thieving activities
toward antiquated models for a definite
purpose. The Jacks" they said, run
the old car of TO same junk fence"
where they are broken up, stripped Of
their tires, and the metal parts sold for
old iron. This, they believe, accounts
for the fact the unrecovered machines
have disappeared so completely.

Of black to colored tenders Of about fiye

Upholstery materials are extremely
beautiful, including broadcloth in plain

rails, Bedford, pile, leather and lac
quered fabrics. More cars are upi1ol-
stored in rayon or rayon and other
materials than were displayed last year.
They include several German and
French cars, two American cars and q
famous English car.
Automobile trunks show an increas-
ing luxury and size.
Something more than TOO cars are on
display. The French cars number 499.
There are 90 American, 80 Italian, %
