BY FREDERICK C. RUSSELL.

the other persons reaction. A stranger
may find some of the cars hidden vir
tues. / know one woman who did not
know her car had windshield that
ventilated indirectly when opened an
inch until friend got at the wheel and
explored things little. This friend
also found that there was small toggle
switch under the instrument panel that
switched off the dash light. The owner,
following dusting of the dash, had
gone three months thinking the light
was burned out when, as matter OF
fact, the switch had merely been Tipped
to the off position.
Notes for beginners:
Take your lessons in the morning. If
you wait until the afternoon you'll find
you have worn yourself out thinking
about it all morning.
Learn to run the engine before trying
to master the car in motion.
Don't talk about your mistakes. Think
positively. If you do neat piece Of
work at the wheel keep doing 1t until
you have it perfect.
When you're in hurry try the para
doXical plan of shifting into second gear
before you turn a corner. You have to
slow down for the turn anyway, SO
IHlBIlI DIS Wen uO IllC oihlLlIlS tiICh.
When you have turned you have but to
step on the gas to get off again to a
flash start.
1t is always difficult to discard that
spare tire cover, but the truth is the
new tire would be protected to much
better advantage by having it painted
black. When you transfer the spare to
one of the wheels and an old tire hangs
on the carrier, the cover will come in
handy without being detriment.
The idea of ripping out the ceiling
material of the car in order to attach
a radio aerial checks good many
women when they are showing desire
for automobile radio. I recently saw
the operation being performed on a
smart looking coupe and was saddened
by the sight But when the material
was put back into place you would
never have known that it was touched.
And the loudspeaker was already bring
ing in good news about making a
tempting new dessert.
One of the motor vehicle authorities
suggests honking the horn once when
giving the signal Of intention to pass
| and again when actually in process of
of the double toot," especially when
approaching intersections so there Is no
possibility of the horns of both cars
| blowing at once and canceling each
! other. In the case of ordinary passing
/ it is true that the first honk often
/ sounds to the driver ahead like a warn
! ing given by car on another road
/ The first honking also often passes un-
noticed.

The motorist who says she never
spends a cent on her car is always care
full not to say how many dollars.
When friends talk about their service
bills be sure to ascertain what model
and wear of car they drive, if they are
speaking of your make Of car. woman
recently refrained from having new
transmission for her car because friends
with a 1881 model had been charged
$3.50. She did not know that the fac
tory charged only $40 on the 1929
model because the original transmission
had not been entirely satisfactory.
MANY women have asked if it is a
good plan to race the motor when
switching it off at night so as to get
better start in the morning. The answer
still is an emphatic nc" With TWO good
reasons attached.
If the motor is new it will come to
rest so quickly that just as much gas
will be drawn into the cylinders as
would be the case if it were just run
ming at a normal speed. And II the
motor is old and worn the rings will not
hold the gas that is drawn in.
Joyfully she told of having equipped
the car with new tires. The car would
be safer to operate There would be
freedom from skidding and no fear of
blowout Thicker treads also meant less
possibility of puncture. 1t was regu-
lar symphony IN contentment, but I
jazzed it up bit by asking whether she
had considered changing habits as well
as tires. Apparently ii had never oc-
CURED to her that she had had to re-
place the tires prematurely because she
had been driving around with a thread
bare set Of customs.
Every time she engaged the clutch she
caused the rear tires to slide a little.
All curves were taken at much too high
a speed, causing the treads Of the tires
to wear excessively. Each time she
drove into the garage she locked the
brakes and slid the tires. Much steer
ing, as in parking, was done with the
car standing still, habit that not only
strains the steering gear but inhicts
unnecessary wear on the front tires,
She was careless about turning in and
out Of street car tracks.
Something besides new rubber Is
needed to keep new tires new.
Do you ever let other people take the
wheel of your car, or do you make them
feel that in becoming that familiar with
your car they would be taking liberties?

"unforgettable impressive penalty" Will
be dealt out to motorists who have ac-
cidents while driving cars that have
not been inspected and approved, E.

The commissioner said reports from
State police show several autos involved
recently in crashes had not been in
spected.
"a policeman" he said, was knocked
down and badly injured by the driver
Of one of these machines, which upon
inspection was found to be of unsafe
condition. In another case a motorist
was stopped for having an illegal device
on his car. The machine had been ap-
proved by an official station, but police
inspection showed the stations eXami-

Safety Law Growing.


tor vehicles in the United States and
two-thir6s of those in Canada, are now
operated under one or more of the es-
sential principles of the A. A. A.
safety-reSponsibility law, according TO
the District of Columbia Division of
the American Automobile Association.
It was declared that this legislative
weapon for the control of the reckless
and irresponsible minority on the
streets and highways, was drafted by
an A A. A. national committee four
years ago, and Il now in effect in -
American States c1d 5 Canadian prov
inces. The statement declared that
the law has three primary detectives:
First: To provide an incentive for
careful and safe driving and to control
sible operator.
Second: To compel those drivers who
have demonstrated their recklessness
to establish evidence of financial re-
sponsipility for the future as a pre-
requisite to their regaining the priyi-
lege of driving
Third: To furnish an incentive for
payment of otherwise uncollectible
judgments arising from automobile ac-
cidents.
The A. A. A. continues:
"The wide acceptance of the legis-
lation has given its provisions test in
actual practice and subjected them to
legal and administrative analysis. On
the basis Of practical experience, a re-
vision of the model bill was effected in
1880 and a second revision based on
still more experience was completed in
October, 1882. The fact that this re-
vision is confined largely to simplifica-
ton of language, clarification of detail
and minor notifications, and does not
involve fundamental changes, is a
tribute to the foresight and painstakirg
care exercised In the original drafting
of the bill"

small triangle plots there that could
be shaved down. 1t Is hoped that the
matter will be brought to the attention
of Capt. Il. c. Whitehurst.
william A. Van Duzer, director of the
Department of Motor Vehicles and
Traffic, has recently made a very wise
recommendation which has met with
the approval of the District Commits
used car shall be sold without examina-
tion by District officials This will
prevent many car being operated
on the streets that can just run and
that's all. 1t may shave down the
prices of turn-in, but it is well worth
while May it lead to a save-a-life
campaign when all cars must be Of
ficially inspected!
Carelessness to Blame.
Many things are blamed on the de-
that has not been heard of hereto
fore is the increase of traffic deaths
in the city of Washington over last
year. The idea is that people are SO
worried or thinking over their troubles,
that they do not pay as much atten-
ton to their driving as they should
1t so happens that the list of fatali-
ties all over the Nation is lower this
year 1t also SO happens that the Ma
tional Capital has been hit less hard
by the depression than any other place.
So in view of these facts it would seem
that the depression is in no way to
blame for the Districts fatalities.
MT. Van Du7er blameS it on care
lessnsSs. That is apt to be the truth.
There are many people driving daily
without care-care literally or flgura-
lively. Speaking of motorists and their
courses of instruction-would it not be
a good plan to have a school for pc
destrians? Teach them how to walk
and how to think. Records show that
in most instances it is the carelessness
of the pedestrians that was the con-
tributing cause to the accident. When
Mr.. Van Duzer speaks of carelessness
he may allude to both motorists and
pedestrians. If he does, he is right.

RELIC OF LINCOLN

When President Abraham Lincoln, NOR
tally wounded, was carried from Ford's thea
tire to the home of William Peterson, tailor,
living across the street, he was placed in the
room of 13-year-old Pauline Peterson, where
he breathed his last early the following
morning.
During the night the blood-stained head
of the martyred President had rested on the
child's square feather pillow. The pillow was
reverently preserved by the tailor's daugh-
ter, who afterwards became Mrs Wenzing,
and upon her death she willed the priced relic
to Mrs. Jessie F. Webster, school teacher
With it went an affidavit prepared by Mrs.
Wenzing before her death, as follows:
''This is to certify that the pillow now in
possession of Jessie F. Webster, of the City
of Washington, D. c., is the same pillow on
which President Lincoln died, April Is, 1865.
His death occurred in my room in my old
home, No. SIG Tenth street, Washington,
D. c."
The pillow, now yellow with age, still
bears its crimson stains and is perhaps the
most intimate memento of national tragedy
now in existence. 1t should be preserved in
the National Museum or other appropriate
repository.

CONSTITUTION DAY

While Constitution Day, September II,
is not legal holiday it is observed with ap-
propriate exercises in many schools, and var
ious patriotic societies employ the occasion
to renew acquaintance with the provisions
of our nations organic law.
The Constitution of the United States
was adopted on September II, 1887, by the
convention appointed in pursuance of reso-
luton of Congress. Washington presided
over the convention, which was composed of
SIS delegates representing each of the Is orig
inal states except Rhode Island, and that
body was in session nearly four months. The
final draft of the Constitution was made by
Gouverneur Morris, a delegate from Pennsyl-
vania.
Delaware was the first state to ratify
the Constitution, on December 7, 1887, and
Rhode Island was the last the date of its
ratification being May 20, 1870.
The first ten amendments popularity
known as the Bill of Rights, were proposed
together, and adopted by the required num-
Der of states by December Is, 1871. Only
two other amendments were adopted prior
to the Civil War; between 1865 and 1870
three more were added. Since then four adj
ditional amendments have been adopted, pro-
United States senator's, prohibition and wo-
mems suffrage.
Every. citizen of the United States
should read the Constitution and it's amend
ments at least once a year, and Constitution
Day is very appropriate occasion for the
purpose.
