Milady's Motoring
BY FREDERICK c. RUSSELL.

automobiles are capable Of doing more
than so, regardless of what the inaccu-
rate speedometerS say. A speed OF so
miles an hour Is still very fast. A lot
Of steam trains do not exceed it.
The weeks safety hint concerns the
necessity Of learning to apply the
TONS One car Is equipped with varia-
BILE brakes so that the driver can reg
ulate stopping force for wet or dry
streets, but for most of us the process
has to be q matter Of thinking. In
particular, avoid too hasty or forceful
application of the brakes when the
streets are wet in spots.
How the engine transmits power to
the rear wheels Of the conventional car
is one Of those matters which any
woman who drives can learn with
profit. The details are not as compli-
Gated as they may seem, II you have
looked over the instruction book with
that hopeless feeling that comes when
trying to master diagrams.
When the clutch Is engaged and the
gears are not In neutral there Is o
through connection for the power sup
ply from the engine to the big ring gear
which Is joined to the axles through

shaft Is. In reality, extended so as to
rotate the propeller shaft running from
the t. "'ssion to the rear axle hous-
ing.
Naturally at the end Of the pro-
pelIer shaft power has to make right
angle turn. This Is accomplished by
putting q pinion gear at the end Of
the shaft and letting this mesh with
the ring gear. Since the pinion gear
has to turn somewhere around four
times to each single turn Of the big
gear the rear wheels do not rotate as
fast as the propeller or engine shaft.
This final gearing" Is an important
factor In the cars power and speed.
Some cars carry as hypoid gear ar
rangement which makes it possible to
engage the pinion with the ring gear
at q lower point, thus permitting q
lower body. Other cars carry what is
known as q worm drive, which Is q still
lower arrangement.
Care in handling your car win go q
long way toward saving wear and tear
on this final drive mechanism. The
universal joints which connect the pro-
peller shaft with the transmission and
the pinion are responsive to consider
ate driving and quickly give trouble II
you insist upon starting OF with jerk
and slamming on the brakes unnec-
eSSarily.
Cutting corners, either when climbing
hill or while descending it, simply
increases the grade. On the uphill the
engine has to work harder and on the
downgrade the brakes are overtaxed.

MOTORISTS AWAIT
COURT DECISIONS
Interesting Cases Involving
Rights Pending in Su-
preme Tribunal.

Is a motorist charged with reckless
driving" entitled as a matter Of abso-
lutte right to trial by a jury2
Is a "back-seat driver" legally bound
to warn the operator Of an automobile
Of impending danger?
The answers to these two questions,
now before the United States Supreme
Court for legal determination, involve
principles applicable to every motorist
in the United States, declares the
American Motorists Association In q
resume Of legal problems affecting the
motorists Of the country, now calen-
dered on the docket Of the United
States Supreme Court.
Important Principle.
"The right Of q motorist charged
with reckless driving to be tried be-
fore q Jury Is one of the most impor-
tant principles and rights that an auto
mobile driver has today" declares
Thomas J. Keefe, general manager Of
the A. M. A. "Oace the principle Is
established, it will 60 far toward the
elimination Of fining squires and other
fee-grabbing minions Of the law, who
have long preyed on motorists as legiti-
mate prey. The decision Of the highest
court in the land settling the question,
which arose here In the District Of Co
lumbia, win be of interest, not only to
District motorists, but to motorists
everywhere.
Another legal question Of interest
to motorists" the A. M. A. resume con-
tinued, involves the duty of a back
seat driver to warn the operator Of i'm
pending danger. Two cases involving
this exact question are now pending.
In each case, where a passenger was In
jured, the defendants are seeking to
avoid liability on the theory that the
passenger or so-called back-seat driver
was guilty Of contrfbutory negligence for
not warning the operator OF the car
that there was danger impending.
Third Case Of Interest.
"A third case of interest to motorists
involves the right of the motoring pub
lie to rely upon the absence Of q
customary Waterman at a grade cross
ing as an indication that the crossing
Is clear.
"still another case before the court
for determination, while not affecting
directly the general motoring public,
does so indirectly. It's effect viii also be
direct on a large number Of Army and
naval officials. It Is an appeal from the
Minnesota Supreme Court holding that
nonresident Army of1cer, stationed at
an Army post and who drives his auto
mobile upon the highways outside the
reservation, must pay the State motor
vehicle tax.
Should the United States Supreme
Court reverse the Minnesota Supreme
Court and sustain the contention Of the
Army officer that he Is not required to
pay the State motor vehicle tax, the loss
Of revenue to the States would be ap-
preciable and add considerable to the
burden of the general motoring public.
Conversely, 1t would mean q substantial
saving to Army and naval ofncials," the
resume points out.

CHECK WINDSHIELD WIPER

The season is at hand when the mo-
torist win find increasing use for the
windshield cleaner, it Is pointed out by
Rudolph Jose, veteran local motor car
dealer. That being the case, he says.
the car owner should take q Few min
utes' time now to have this important
safety unit checked over.
Attempting to drive q car during the
FAN and Winter months without an
efficiently operating windshield wiper II

danger" Mr.. Jose asserts. And UNI
less the cleaner has been very recently
gone over it is likely to need attention
ct this time. It is possible that the tube

be required by the gears Of the electric
wiper.
"At all events, the windshield cleaner
is q highly important piece Of equip
ment that is used q great deal during
the more arduous months Of the year.
Common sense dictates that It be given

Getting into legal difficulties at the
wheel often leads to some one else put
ting on the writs.
One of the manufacturers who
builds car that Is known for its ability
to provide fast transportation says that
accidents are caused by "hurTying"
rather than by speeding. He must have
been thinking Of q good many women
who drive.
Very few women operate their cars at
anything near the top speed. They are
not sufficiently experienced with high
speed to feel comfortable and safe
when the miles roll by at the rate Of
one q minute. But it Is q commonly
observable fact that women are prone
to hurry when at the wheel, driving
IS or 40 when 80 would be more ap-
propriate for the road conditions.
Hurrying never pays.
Hurrying never pays, not even In
Servicing the car. Give the mechanic
a chance to do his work properly. He
will run across many difficulties that
are peculiar to your own car and
which require time and thought to over
come. After repair work has been done
to car it isn't always advisable to
launch right into the daily grind. Re-
pairs must season" Frequently this
calls for returning to the service station
for those minor adjustments which
produce major results.
A woman has written me to ask about
an armrest which she understands can
be purchased for attachment to the
left front door. On long trips her left
arm becomes quite fatigued, and 1t Is
her idea that the armrest would solve
this problem. am supplying her
with the desired information, but per-
sonally should prefer to use o small
square pillow. The trouble with any
thing you attach to the door Is that
1t may be in the way when you don't
need it.
Installing a different kind Of acceler-
ator pedal may change the character or
"feel" of your car. Sometimes, too, the
throttle Is not adjusted to open fully,
thus slowing down the car on hills.

Only Three of GriffS Bat in

Gets LEAD"

Wv YHY Washington finished no
M better than fifth in the
Wv American League race last
season is easily discernible
in the of1cial batting averages of the
circuit, made public today. OF the en-
tire lot of Nationals listed in the records
only three finished with sticking marks
in the 800 class. A club can't get very
far these days with such meager SOCK
ing of the ball.
The best of the National batters was
Sam Rice, veteran of many campaigns,
who hit for record of 1928 in the $50
games in which he participated. And
that mark is As points lower than that
of Lew Fonseca, Cleveland first sacker.
who led the league.
The others of the Nationals in the
800 class were Joe Judge, also vet
eran, who slammed for .315 in 143
games, and Buddy Myer, virtually a
rookie, who hit the ball for a batting
average of an even 800.
The outstanding flop of the season in
a batting way was Goose GoSlin, who
in 1928 led the American League hitters
with an average of $40. Last season
the Goose never could get his eye on
the ball, and hit for mark of .288 in
las engagements. Five Nationals bet
tered his average in the campaign.
GosIin Continues His Slugging.
At that, the Goose continued his slug
ging, for he was the best home-run
hitter of the Nationals. He slammed
10 Of the four-ply drives during the
year. Rice and Myer got an even break
as three-base seekers, each hitting 10.
The best two-base hitter of the club in
1929 was Rice, who clouted 80 doubles.
Actually the leader in batting in the
American League was Nick Altrock, the
well known and popular coach of the
Nationals. Nick squirmed his way into
game as the season ended and got
chance to go to bat once. And he
socked the ball for single. No other
in the circuit had the 1000 mark.
The washington club was no great
shuckS at batting, If one may become
colloquial. 1t did no better than .276,
which gave it only fifth place tie in
the circuit with the Browns of st. Louis.
The outstanding batting performance
by National was that of Joe Cronin.
youthful shortstop. At Boston on Labor
day the rookie Joseph went to the plate
five times in one game of double
header and hit for homer, a triple,
two doubles and a single.
Sam West, although hitting only at a
.267 rate, proved a valuable member of
the Nationals. He contributed % sacri-
fee hits to lead the club in this respect.
There was little base stealing done by
the Nationals, despite their real speed
afoot. Buddy Myer showed the way in
this matter with total of ID thefts
He was caught attempting to steal seven
times.
