MINUTE STUDY OF MOTORISTS

Guessing out pedestrians and other
motorists who seem to be in the way
is about the most cardinal grievance ]
have against some motorists said an
other man in answer to my question.
This seems TO be particularly true OF
those who meet with woman drivers.
I have heard men whom have always
considered unusually well bred appear
to be quite the opposite toward some
woman who is driving an automobile,
even though she was driving carefully
and efficiently. AS a rule woman drivers
are thoroughly competent and should
be treated as such, unless there is good
evidence 10 the contrary. AS matter
of fact, If these cussarS drove their
cars as we'll as most women, there
Would probably be noticeable reduc-

A man from the West made this
comment: THE principal trouble with
the motorists is their Indifferent to
the mechanical aspects Of the veh.c'a
to be operated. Not one motorist in
fundamental principles OF the mechan-
ism he has to handle. If motorists
would take the trouble to learn some
thing about how their machines oper-
ated and would check up on the me-
chanical condition regularly, there
would be less confusion among motor
lists on our American highways"
Principal Complaint.
/ A Southern gentleman who has the
advantage of fine weather for automo-
biles all IL months of the year made
this statement: THE principal COM
plant have concerning a considerable
number of motorists is their apparent
disregard of trafic laws. These people
look upon the motor cycle policeman as
their enemy. They consider 1t smart
to outwit these custodians of the law.
They look upon them with an antag-
onistic attitude, instead of one of CO.
operation and respect. Especially do
these people seem to have little regard
for the traffic regulations of small
towns and villages. They are grieved

the drive shaft Of the car.
Whether or not the operation Of the
transmission is clear, the fact that re-

changing the meshing of gears should
be a warning against trying to shift
into reverse while the car still is trav-

So far so good. But after thinking

ECONOMIC PROSPERITY HELD
DUE TO EFFICIENCY OF AUTO
People of Moderate Means More vitality
Concerned in Traffic Conditions,
Labor Leader States

Public health is a matter Of careful
public scrutiny. Medical science is
steadily gaining against the ravages Of
disease. Industrial accidents through
safety training and education are being
brought closer and closer to the ire
ducible minimum. Only upon the streets
and highways is the death rate an
element of danger running rampant,
and with an annual toll in human lives
and money that is a reflection upon
the social and economic system Of this
country and direct challenge to
vaunted American efficiency.
Drivers should be permitted on the
streets and roads only when they have
been carefully examined and tested as
to their fitness and qualification. This
is a responsibility that rests upon each
State, and from which none of them
can escape.
Automobiles should be licensed and
permitted on the streets an6 roads only
when they are in a mechanically safe
condition. The zone eyed" automobile
or the car with defective brakes, steer
ing gear, or other vital part, should be
prohibited on the highways, just as the
defective locomotive or piece OF ma
chinery in the factory is removed from
service.
Horizon Widened.
The automobile has widened the
horizon of the great mass Of American
people-from the truck and cotton
farmers in the South and fruit and
grain farmers in the North and West
to the city jewellers who have before
spent most of their lives within the
confines of one or two cities and found
their recreation on the spreading lawns
of public parks.
Millions of these people are travelling
over the country every year, achieving
new national unity and viewpoint, a
new consciousness and love of country
and a new and more poSsessive sense
of their continent. To these people the
problems of the road-rules, regulations
and safety-are not mere academic
questions. They know intimately the
portent of the traffic problem and the
urgent necessity for its sound and con-
structive solution at the hands of each
State and each municipality.
The factors of safety on the streets
and highways are automatic They call
for no discussion. Improperly equipped
automobiles should not be allowed to
operate. Persons of defective eyesight
or hearing, or chemically reckless, are
not safe as operators of modern high
speed and high-powered automobiles.
This situation calls for such sys-
tematic attention by public authori-
ties and by legislators as will in its eff
feet constantly sift the fit from the
unfit and properly classify the equip
n2ent of vehicles and qualifications of
drivers who are permitted to share and
enjoy the privileges of the streets and
roads.

If one could put tho average auto
mobile driver under a microscope and
examine him thoroughly, what things
that are wrong with him would be
likely to appear? we know he has
many good qualities. But If he is found
to have some faults. perhaps they can
BE- corrected to the benefit Of the gen.
eral public
People Of whom the question is asked.
What is wrong with the motoriSt?'
give varying answers which BRING out
different points of view For instance,
one man said: THE average automo-
bile driver is in too much of hurry.
This excessively rushing complex is
needless and is probably responsible for
large number of the automobile acci-
dents and for many people who arc
either killed or seriously injured every
month of the year. 1t seems as If every
one considered it necessary to be there
first. People having appointments to
keep wait until they figure they can
make the place of engagement If they
give them continuous right of way.
Even at that they figure they must
maintain for every mile at least all the
speed that the law will allow"
Golden Rule Lacking.
Another person in considering this
question said: THE lack of application
Of the Golden Rule in driving seems to
me to be one of the most prevailing
sins of the motorists of today. The lack
of consideration that the average driver
shows for others Is a factor that keeps
the automobile experiences Of others
less than completely satisfactory. Such
a driver is often found taking the CEN
ter of the road, proceeding with de-
liberation, compelling other people to
pass him on the right, if at ALL. He
blows his automobiles horn need Ssly
and is generally a nuisance as far as
his fellow motoriSt Is concerned"
An automobile owner who lives in
New Jersey has this to say in answer
to the above question 1.-The mania fol-
speed is the principal trouble with
automobile drivers today. Motorists are
allowed a liberal amount of speed on
our New Jersey highways. In fact, they
can travel 40 miles an hour and be
within the legal requirements. but most
Of them drive between so and 65 miles
an hour. The result is that when they
arrive at their destination they are
more fatigued than necessary and gen.
orally find that they could have done
