thing was in order.
They went later to the Western Union
Office and were told that the cablegram
was fake.
An official of the Western Union said
there have been many instances in
which persons have been Swindled
through fake kilograms, apparently con-
flrming liquor order, but that this was
their first experience with rugs.
In many cases, one official said, the
swindler actually went to a foreign city
and sent cablegram. The one sent to
Miss Means, however, apparently was
composed with blank cablegram form
and several strips of yellow paper, on
which the message was typed

PEDESTRIAN KEEPS RECORD CLEAR
INDODGING AUTOS, BUT NOT JAIL
Turning to See Driver of Car Nearly Hitting Him. He Is
Recognized, to His Regret

II Carl Williams should pause to re-
fleet, and he has several days now in
which TO pause and reflect, he probably
would be cheered TO recall there was
one redeeming feature about the in
cident at Fourteenth and streets this
morning.
williams, who is 80 years old and
has never been run down by an auto
mobile kept his record unbroken,
although he had to leap quite a ways,
when he crossed Fourteenth street in
this mornings traffic.
That, as Williams might reflect, was
the redeeming feature. The rest was
mostly calamity. There are a lot of
automobiles in Washington, but it had
| to be Detective Frank Alligood's car
which almost hit Williams.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-07-01

Alligood has one of the best memories
on the force and when Williams turned,
like any good pedestrian would to look
at Alligood, the detective said to him
self, Il don't know the name, but the
face seems familiar"
Alligood, it developed later, had seen
the face on police lookout. A person
answering the pedestrians description
had walked out on the boys at the
District Jail, where Williams was sup
posed to do 10 days on Police Court
sentence for intoxication.
Anyhow, williams, is going to have
the rest OF the 10 days, before he re-
turns to his home in the 500 block Of
Lamont street, in which to be Thankful
that the automobile didn't hit him.

A blind man whose keen ears ana

Just and repair automobiles with precise

He Is Harry Z. Erickson, 80, Of Bloom

been employed.
Failing In q two.year battle 10 recover

succeed despite his handicap. He bor-
rowed money 10 purchase cylinder

for 0 garage and went into the business
Of fitting oversize pistons in motor

his work proved 70 satisfactory that
patrons flooded to him IN growing num-

expanding bis place into o general re-
pair shop and cutting In on their busi-

/ KEEPING ONES TEMPER
HELD GOOD DRIVING ASSET
Matter of Irrita bility Seems For.
eign Subject to Motoring,
Coolican SAYS.

Keeping ones temper is a very def
mite asset to the motoris,, points out
Oscar Coolican, local automobile dis
tributor. While the matter of irrita-
bility might seem to be a subject for
eign to motoring, he declares, it has so
direct a bearing on good driving that 1t
can well be listed among the practices
which contribute to safety.
"There are innumerable irritations in
the course Of ones motoring" Mr.. Cool
lean says, which, if allowed to domi-
nate a motorists state of mind, may
create a great hazard for himself and
all other users of the highway. The
man who can overlook them and view
them only as exhibitions Of poor driv-
ing is not going to lose control Of him
self and of his car.
Driving an automobile successfully
calls for considerable self-control, and
the man who does not have 1t can
scarcely be looked upon as capable
driver. He may be able to pilot the
~ with great skill when conditions are
in his favor, but the moment he be-
to exercise the cool Judgment that
really good driving demands.
ANY experienced motorist can recall
easily numerous faults on the part
Of other drivers that are irri-
tating in the extreme Failing to
give signals, preemption of the
right of way, or driving in the mid
die Of the road readily come to mind as
examples. They are instances of poor
driving and should be accepted as such.
But what does the irritable individual
do? He loses his temper Immediately
and instead Of having one mistake that
may have had its source In momentary
thoughtlessness we have another and
often more serious error of driving on
the part Of the second driver who has
allowed his anger to get the best Of
him.

Expensive Taste.
Automobile ownership Is often made
expensive through the desire to always
drive only the latest model car. Many
cars are traded in when only a very
small part of their life has been run
simply for the purpose Of keeping up
to date. While It is true that improve
ments are made from time to time by
the manufacturers, and 1t may be de-
sirable to obtain q car with some new
feature, the practice Of buying a new
car every year adds something to the
cost of automobile transportation. In
