In the Motor World
BY G. ADAMS HOWARD.

Automobile Association IS taking in the
national effort to safeguard these young
sters on the streets and highways, as
well as in educating them in self-pro-
lection
Through the organization and equip
ment CT school patrols in 1900 cities
and towns and the distribution of safety
lessons and posters, A. A. A. motor
clubs are making a definite contribu-
ton to the cause Of safety. This is in
a large measure responsible for the fact
that children between the ages of and
IA were involved in only 145 pcr cen:
CT tie motor fatalities during 1881. as
compared to 81 per cent for the age
group between Is and 54.
In addition to reducing the number
Of fatalities and injuries to children of
school age, the school patrols have also
had a most favorable effect on the
morale of the boys and girls serving in
the patrols. This training in the re-
sponsibilities Of citizenship Is becoming
an important feature in the schools
where 1t Is offered"

A. A. A. Patrols Praised.

The American Automobile Association
MAJ be charged with slowing up legis-
lation and all that, but it seems far
better to have some legislation that is
faulty or unfair in character slowed up,
If not prevented entirely.
However, besides many others there
Is one person who bolieves the A. A. A.
does good work.
Pointing out that the organization
and equipment of the A. A. A. school
patrols and distribution of safety lessons
and posters is in a large measure re-
sponsible for the downward trend of
accidents involving children of school
age William John Cooper, United States
commissioner of education, has COM
mended the national safety program OF
the American Automobile Association
and affiliated motor clubs.
In letter addressed to Thomas P.
Henry, president of the national motor
ing body. Commissioner Cooper said: Il
am confident that reflect the senti-
ment of school executives generally
when I commend the safety activities OF
your great organizaticn.'
The A. A A. has organized and
equipped more than 100000 schoolboy
patrclmen in 1900 cities and towns and
annually distributes in excess Of mil
lion safety lessons and posters.

The Paris Salon.

The Paris Automobile Salon, which
opened recently with 495 cars on dis
play. indicates new color schemes and
decoration, according to adv.ces re-
csived hare. Colors are generally more
true and decorative schemes simplitied
The tendency of finishing the whole
hood of q color different from that of
the remainder OF the car shows an in
crease. While black is still the pre-
dominating color in the finish of the
cars shown, green IS al important sec
ond choice. being used chiefly in the
medium and dark shades. Dark. deep
blue is the third color in Importance.
Ivory and yellow come next, closely fol-
lowed by maroon. Gray and beige are
both much less in favor. while red
comes last as a favorite color. Pearl
essence Is shown on about a half dozen
cars.
Many more cars are shown with wire
wheels than last year. although disc
wheels still predominant. Very few
artillery wheels are shown. The salon
reveals that there Is very little stripping
of the louvers INDUCED in, but decora-
tive effects are sought by various
shapes, disposition and slanting of
lowers. There Is smaller use made
Of contrasting colors for belt moulding
and of belt moulding itself, although
conservative stripping is still sometimes
used when such moulding is employed.
Plain broadcloth is apparently the
favorite for upholstery materials. Fancy
woolen cloth is also popular. Leather
and lacquered fabrics represent little
more than 18 per cent of the upholstery
materials used There is quite lot Of
plain broadcloth with a smooth. satin
surface Plain colors to match the
finish Of the car are the choice.

The new idea, idiotic as it is, is really
under consideration. it is learned from
reliable sources. According to this plan.
interstate traffic, passing through Mary
land will be subjected to tax 1or the
privilege of using the States highways.
Two Proposals.
As matters stand today there are two
major proposals.
One is to impose, or as 1t might be
more truthfully put, "inflict" tax upon
interstate trucks and vans. The second
is to establish toll system on bridgeS
which form part of the interstate nigh

como of the bridges. it is pointed out,
are used principally by foreign" traffic.
Notable among these bridges are the
Havre de- -Perryville and Como
wingo spans. The idea is to impose
substantial charge on out-of-State cars
using such bridges, Maryland machines
to be given the benefit of reduced or
communication rates.
Adequate Toll Planned.
Adequate, although not exorbitant,
tolls are planned for crossing the two
Susouehanna River bridges, and other
Maryland spans which are essential
interstate highway links would produce
/ considerable annual revenue and would
not be burdensome, 1t Is argued. Fifty
cents a trip or something like that
would not be oppressive for the occa-
sional user: that is, the out-of-State
tourist. while much reduced rates might
be established for Marylanders and ha-
bitual users.
As things are now. it is said, out-of-
State motorists contribute to the upkeep
of Maryland roads only when they
chance to buy gasoline on which there
Is a State tax Of cents gallon.
The plan certainly is preposterous.
Residents of the District would suffer
more than people of any other place.
However. the plan in all probability will
not be carried through.

Everyday Psychology
By DIR. JESSE W. spRowLs.
Identification.

Some present-day psychologists ex-
pound the curious theory that most of
us would like to be something other
than what we are. Is it possible? Ger
tainly. OF course, you meet. see or read
about persons whom you admire. Admf-
ration is the beginning OF identincation.
Then Identification gradually splits up
into two parts-what you would like to
be and what Nu would like to possess.
Both lead directly to the limbo OF lmi-
tation-the lowest plane of individuality
Imitation and identification are rea-
sons for the demand for cottages by
the sea, yachts window displays, and
the latest model in automobiles. You
can explain outbreaks OF moo-mlnoed-
ness the same way.
Perhaps you have noticed that most
housewives are continually shifting the
furniture from one place to another.
They are trying to find something new
in the old: they are trying to identify
what isn't with what ought to be. Per-
hapS you have noticed that some per-
sons boast of community pride. They
are trying to make an unimportant
place look important,
Perhaps you have now and then had
some flights of imagination which you
dared not admit as your own. Perhaps
you have gone to a city for the first
time and reflected" that you had been
there before. If so, you have been
exercising that mental process known
as identification. You were identifying
your wishes with realities.

Kitchen Comments
BY wILDA HoYr.

YOU will have more economical
lemonade, and a drink of finer
flavor, if you put the lemon rinds
through the food chopper, pour ice
water over them, let stand for a few
seconds and drain. Mix the sugar and
water together before adding lemon
juice, and you vail need less sugar.
Do not peel beets; leave an inch or
more stem on, cook with the skins on
and when done, douse them quickly in
cold water. then slip the skins off by
rubbing gently with the fingers. This
prevents loss of both juice and color
When silk sticks to green corn you
are preparing for the table, use a soft
vegetable brush to remove it. This is
much quicker and more thorough than
pulling the silk off by hand.
1t improves the flavor of corn cooked
on the cob to add little milk and a
tablespoonful of sugar to the salted
water in which the corn is cooked.
Be sure to add spoonful of granu-
lated tapioca to all juicy fruit or berry
pies. This will prevent the juice from
running out or soaking the undercrust,
and the tapioca gives the fruit richer
flavor
A rubber mat for the kitchen table
or drain board will prevent mixing
bowls from slipping when beating or
stirring is going on.
