look for your stolen car until the thief
has filled up the gas tank.
The theory has always been that
women prefer rubber pads en- the pedals
as a precaution against having their
feet slip off This thought is so uni
versal l was especially interested in the
views of an experienced woman driver
who believes that the rubber pads tend
to slow down foot action. When she
wants to transfer her foot from the
brake to the accelerator. or vice versa,
she maintains that the bare pedals are
more satisfactory.
If you have been in the habit of in
flating the tires few pounds below
the recommended pressure. to take care
of the expansion when they heat up,
now is the time to initiate little high
er When you stop at filling station
better initiate to exactly the pressure
required. because at this season the
tires will not pick up" any appreciable
pressure.
1t may seem like a frill to have the
service manager take the car out for
an inspection ride after repairs have
been made, but it is part of the pro-
lection which you need He may dis

and then discovered that the vacuum

Mai. Gen. Anton Stephan. command
ing the District Of Columbia National
Guard, who acted as grand marshal of
the Halloween parade last Monday, has
congratulated officers and enlisted men
of the local militia who assisted in
forming the parade, getting the entries
into their proper places, etc.
He said that this part OF the parade
has always called for proper Organiza-
ton and prompt assembly in order to
keep the parade moving. once it has
started. In the case of the parade
with individual floats and entries
rather than organizations, 1t has always
been very difficult to organize, and the
officers and enlisted men engaged was
not only appreciated by Gen. Stephan,
he said. but also added materially to
the progress OF the parade.
An inspection of all ordnance mate
rial in the possession Of local units of
the Guard was instituted during the
week by direction OF the commanding
general. Sd Corps Area. The first unit
to be inspected was the 12lst Engineers,

TO furnish two enlisted men each at the
time their respective organizations are
being inspected. 1t was pointed out in
the order that where cleaning or minor
repairs are found necessary by the In

complish such during the course Of the
inspection and material or arms should
be presented for re-inspection.

several chiefs of War Department

reflect the policy of financial retrench-
ment anticipated of Congress in its next
short session beginning in December

1888. Aside from this compliance with
the desire of the congressional leaders
for abbreviation for the sake Of
economy and the presidential policy to
regulate appropriations in their rela-

greatest criticism Of woman drivers is
their habit of letting the clutch engage
suddenly A clutch is essentially con-
hector. If the driver lifts her foot from
the pedal gently the motor will trans
NIT its power to the wheels smoothly.
II she permits the pedal to come up
suddenly there is sudden and unpleas-
ant shock. This is one of the easiest
things about driving, yet most women
fail to master 1t.

pictS molaSses blonde Staving off a
ticket from a motor cycle officer by
asking him to help himself to the con-
tents of box Of chocolates. The off,
Ger is decelerating and his face is
breaking into smile. You just know
he has yielded and that the only fine
will be his use of the word to praise
the sWeetmeats.
There's more than a chuckle in this.
l think the picture is symbolic You've
heard about the soft answer turning
away wrath, and you know that soft
soap goes long way in this gruff world
A little candy, iiguratively speaking, has
its value. I've checked up with a lot
Of drivers and believe it is almost axio-
matte that the quickest way to get a
ticket is to get into rage because the
officer has reprimanded you for some
thing. II there's going to be any argu-
ment, he usually is right, and it's
human nature for him not to care to
yield when he knows he's got the law
behind him. If you admit your mis-
take and take it like lady, he knows
he has succeeded in impressing you
with the necessity for driving sensibly.
After all. that's what he's on the
road for.
like the phrase used by one of the
manufacturers to describe the versa
tility of one of its models. "Eminently
suited to all occasions" runs the catch
line. 1t caught me because I realized
how many women select cars that seem
to be apropos for one type of service

BALTIMORE. November 5.-1nveSti-
gators of the motor vehicle commits
sioner's Office are maintaining constant
watch on the official inspect n Of the
save-a-life campaign to prevent the
station operators from being bribcd
either to overlook glaring faults in ma
chimes or to favor friend by passing
his machine when 1t is not IN perfect
working order.
E. Austin Baughman. commissioner,
said he is doing everything in his power
TO make this inspection the most effec-
tive ever conducted by the department
and to prevent any irregularities on the
part Of the selected inspectors.
We have selected the stations after
a thorough investigation Of the opera
tors and their honesty had to be beyond
questioning before they were permitted
TO display the official inspection station
signs" he declared.
In addition to the preliminary in
vestigation cf the garage ownsrS seeking
the official station as ignments. this
department has its deputies, investi-
gators and the State police watching
the stations at all times to prevent
faulty in pections.
The officers have been instructed to
place charges against any operators
found to be yielding to bribery CT max
ing faulty inspections. 1t is violation
Of the law making the annual inspection
compulsory fer an official station to
pass an autom bile which has any of
its safety factors in improper working
order"
He said that. in addition to having
the dishonest inspector arrested, his
department would Immediately cancel
his ccmmisc ion and refuse to let him
ever operate campaign station at any
time in the future.
Mr.. Baughman said that the machine
owners have only the month Of Novem-
Der to have their automobiles in pected
if they desire to secure the 1888 license
tags and operate their cars over the
highways Of Maryland. Any car which
IS not inspected by November 80 will be
forced from the roads and cannot be
used until the inspection has been made.

waited until the traffic had passed.
When the tangle subsidized she poked
her head out the window and sent me
a smile with the abbreviated sorry" at

own thoughtlessness and not for the

Contrast this with the driving OF an
other more thoughtful woman who,
finding lot of cars behind her. pulled
over as far out of the way as she could
get and motioned for the drivers to
pass by. It looked like an endless pro-
cession, with not chance in the world
of going through the maneuvers OF back
