Milady's Motoring
BY FREDERICK G. RUSSELL.

Tempted to take advantage Of his offer
YOU let him have the car over night.
Then you discover that you have
thrown money away, for with his lin
tied equipment he has not fixed the
car properly. You drive down to the
service station, determined to report
the matter to his employer, but on the
way you cool off and decide the whole
matter would be sorry reflection on
your own wisdom.
Women who like to carry along those
little accessories that mean SO much to
personal appearance should be inter-
eSted to know of the new compartment
which can be added to the instrument
panel of any car. 1t protects gloves,
small parcels and other trinkets under
lock and key, yet can be attached in a
few minutes without requiring any
operation on the car One woman who
has built-in compartment on her new
car makes it rule to carry a few dol
lars in it, in the event of need for spare
change in an emergency.
If you ever have an accident with
the car-or one of those narrow es-
capes that send cold chills up and down
your spine-try to drive as far as pos
sible for the balance Of the day or
night. Get right into the car the next
morning and keep moving. 1t is the
only way to regain your confidence and
! to lessen that sinking feeling that fol-
lows an event of this kind. Many a
woman who has gone home to get back
! her nerve ended by never touching the
wheel again.

Several women have questioned thu
need for battery service when their car
failed to start. In each case they re
ported that the battery turned the mo
tor over, leading them to believe tina
there must have been something els
wrong with the motor.
Let's get this straight: It isn't
matter of merely turning over the en-
gine, but of turning it over fast enougl

channels can accommodate. Un-
der the unit system, a station OF
5000 watts power or more on a
clear channel Is reckoned at five
units, while stations splitting
time and using the various classes
of power are measured IL corTe-
spending unit values.
Assuming that the commission
arbitrarily reduced the station list
to meet the regulations, 1t still
would have before it the task Of
Juggling assignments in almost
every State. Only two of the
States-Georgia and West Vir-
ginia-have the facilities to
which they are entitled under the
Davis amendment. OF the bal
ance, q are overquota and 10 are
underquota in their due allotment
of facilities.
The Davis amendment was en-
acted in March, 1928. Ever since
then it had been attacked from
all sides as unfair, unScientif1c
and waSteful. Under it the five
radio zones are measured off as
approximately equal in popula-
tion. But the whole of the first
zone, comprising the New Eng
land and Middle Atlantic States
with their great populations,
could fit within the borders of
Montana alone, which happens to
be only one of the dozen States
of the West which make up the
fifth zone. The first zone, never
theless, sets the pace for the IA
cilities that may be used in all
other zones, by virtue of its popu-
lation.
The new tabulations show that
81 States are oVerquota in facili-
ties, while 19 are underquota and
l2 have their precise quotas.
Illinois, with 11.86 units more than
its share, is the most overquota
State in the country, and has been
since the Davis amendment was
enacted. Pennsylvania, lacking
735 units, is still the most under
quota State. Under the commits
Sion's regulations, an applicant
from an underquota zone and
State can procure additional IA
cilities only by securing them from
an overquota zone and State-a
process that accounts for most
of the radio litigation before the
commission and the courts.

IT took one kind Of crash to make
owners hang on to their old cars. NOW
II takes another kind OF crash 10 make
them buy new ones.
Maybe this is the newest IN Inl!o
rackets. Anyhow here are the facts;
A Young man looked out OF the VIM
dow of his apartment in New Iork
and found that his car was missing
He had left it parked, locked. he hao
the key in his pocket. Not having IN
mediate need Of transportation, now
ever, he decided to postpone reporting
the theft and await developments.
some half hour later the car came
hack to the curb. Dashing downstairs
he was lust in time to witness Two
fiappers stepping out.
Thev steal the car? Good gracious,
Annabelle! Why, quite the contrary
They were returning it to him. Ac-
cording to their story they recognized
the car as they were passing picture
show. made the thief jump out ana
completed the return OF the loot.
Two women were having trouble with
their car on a long trip. Hills seemed
to be sleeper than usual; other cars
harder to overtake. Specializing as TO
the possible cause the mother OF the
driver pulled up on the hand brake to
see if it was partly on. She did the
Job rather carelessly with the result
that the lever did not fully release. In
q few minutes the car was stock stlll
with both rear brakes burning away al
a great rate.
It emphasizes the necessity for eau
ton in trying to analyze situation OF
this kind. These people literally looked
for trouble.
One of the oldest rackets in the re-
pair business seems to be coming bacR
at full speed under present day condl-
tions. 1t is directed primarily at the
woman car owner, especially II she
talks a good deal about economy.
You are told your car needs an ex-
pensive repair Job. You balk at THE
expense, whereupon an unscrupuloui
mechanic slips you the news that Il
you'll let him work on the car aftel

DOCTRINE DESCRIBED
OF FAMILY PURPOSE
Prof. R. H. Winn, in Broadcast,
Says Responsibility Accepted
by Half the States.

The family purpose" doctrine, under
which the head of a household is held
financially responsible for damage done
by members of the family while driving
the family automobile, now is accepted
by approximately half Of the States, it
was declared last week by Prof. r. H.
Winn of the Southeastern University
School Of Law, in a radio address over
WMAL.
Other States either deny liability of
a parent under such circumstances or
have not ruled on the question. Some
States, on the other hand, have enact
ed statutes specifically making the
owner liable, Prof. Winn said.
Liability thus placed on the owner
of the car, he explained, arises, not
merely because of the legal relation
ship of parent to child, but because
of the rule of agency. 1t is argued
that, since the parent purchased the
car for the pleasure Of himself and
family, children who drive it are carry
ing out the fathers purpose in obtain
ing the car and are, therefore, agents
for whose acts he is responsible.
Prof. VIM gave a detailed explana-
ton Of legal intricacies OF the parent
and-child relationship. The talk was
one Of series on "The Layman and
the Law" being sponsored by South
eastern University.

In the Motor World
BY G. ADAMS HOWARD.

| the number Of traffic accidents may
sound modern, but actually they are
nothing of the kind. According to
Dudley T. Corning, chief of the High
way Department of Philadelphia, speak
ing before a recent convention Of the
American Road Builders Association,
one of the first city street improve
mentS in America grew out OF an
accident.
It was in the early 1700s. when
! Second street, from High to Chestnut
in Philadelphia, was drawing many
protests from the citizens for its hazard
Gus condition, that the fruitful mishap
occurred. In the early history of the
city, Mr.. Corning finds it thus related
AT last an accident determined that
a pavement should be made there. One
of the Whartons, being on horseback
was mired there, thrown from his horse
and broke his leg. Charles Thompson
and others made a subscription forth
with and had that street paved, it being
the first regularly paved street in the
city. This first enterprise, being an
affair of some moment in the moderate
resources of the city, became first a
subject of discussion in the Junto. or
Leather Apron Club, and their wishes
being favorable to the measure, it had
their patronage, and was executed at
an expense of only four shillings and six
pence per cartload OF pebbles delivered
at the shallops."
With present-day traffic mishapS re-
sulting in an economic loss of two and
one-half billion dollars annually. high
way design from the standpoint of
safety is receiving ever-greater en-
phasis. says Charles NJ. Upham, en-
gineer-direotor of the American Road
Builders Association. The anecdote
related above, however, shows that the
relationship between highways and
traffic safety was recognized long before
transportation became motorized, he
declares.

Warmer Winters.

While there is little in the way OF
long-range weather forecasts to indicate
whether the months ahead will be a
"cold" or warm" Winter, it Is a mat
ter of record that the average Winter
is now four degrees warmer than 60
years ago.
This statement was made today by
the District of Columbia Division Of the
American Automobile Association, on
the basis of studies made by the United
States Weather Bureau.
1T explains in part" the statement
continued, why motoring Is now an all
year pastime, instead of a pleasure to
be enjoyed at certain seasons. Among
the other factors which have con-
tributed to increased motoring in cold
weather are the steady gain in the num-
Der of closed cars, perfection in wind
shield wipers, low cost of heating equip
ment and the ease with which the car
can be prepared for Winter driving, such
as putting in an anti-freeze.
winter motoring is further encour-
aged by the extensive program for keep
ing the highways open in the snow belt.
This makes it possible for motorists to
reach out-of-the-way places for ice
skating and other Winter sports. Natu-
rally, travel to Winter play places offer
ing Summer weather, particularly
Florida and California, continues and
vacations during the Winter months are
increasing in popularity"

Manufacturers Survey.

A national survey recently completed
for one of the leading automobile manu-
facturers, to determine what Is upper
most in the minds of car owners and
prospective buyers, discloses three i'm
portant demands: % Lower first cost,
(2) lower maintenance cost, (3) greater
economy in operation
While those were the three leading
demands of motorists, it Is also noted in
conjunction with those requirements
that distinctive styling as well as power
and speed performance to meet current
day needs were highly important.
In nearly every case the person inter
viewed declared that with present-day

Building operations in Redwood
Falls this year are normal or better,
in spite of gloomy reports elsewhere,
figures compiled by F. B. Forbes,
city recorder, show.
Sixteen construction permits have
been granted by the council SO far
this year including two major pro-
jects which transformed buildings
formerly used as pool halls into mod
ern stores. Several new homes, gar
ages and the Improvement Of build
ings already in use also are included.
Permits were not required until
early last year, after which ~ were
granted up to December 81. These
figures would indicate that the total
number of jobs is keeping pace with
last year although total investments
are less, since the new theatre and
Palace store buildings are included in
last years figures.
Since January I, six new water
connections have been installed in
homes here. Mr.. Forbes states that

WATONWAN EDITOR ,
SAYS POOR RELIEF
PLAN IS FAILURE
Warns Against Commissioners
Proposal to Shift Burden
to Municipalities

Redwood county voters are advised
to turn down the proposal to make
village, city and town boards respon-
sible for poor relief instead of the
county board, in a letter written to
The Gazette by j. H. Curtis, pub
Usher of the leading newspaper in
Watonwan county, where the plan
has been tried and is likely to be re-
pealed at the fall election.
Mr.. Curtis letter states: II noticed
in the daily papers that Redwood
county is voting on the question Of
putting the poor relief in the hands
of town and city boards instead of
the county board as it is at present.
The same story mentioned that Wat
onwan county is voting on going from
the township and city and village
basis back to the county commission
ers again.
"The newspapers of this county
were surely sleeping on the job when
they let the county commissioners
slip over this proposition. They made
the plea that the cost would be lessen
ed, that farmers and city aldermen
knew their local situation better than
the county commissioners and that
the results would be better. This
might work all right in normal times,
when little relief is needed. But %
day with the relief situation as it is
the story is entirely different.
"Now when farmers go broke, they
do not stay in the township but move
to town. After they have established
residence then it is necessary for the
city to pay for their relief. AS re-
suit all township of Watonwan coun-
ty have moved their poor into ST.
James, Madelia and Butterfeld and
these towns are standing the entire
poor bill. When the county commits
sioners handle this all tax payers of
the county do their share, now the
taxpayers of these three places have
