CITY IS PRAISED.
FOR SAFETY
CAMPAIGN
Maryland Highway Chief Glad
Washington Joined Drive
on Unsafe Autos

The participation by the Dis
trict of Columbia in Maryland 5
Save-a-Life Campaign from
October Is to November 80 has
been commended by E. Austin
Baughman, Maryland's COM
missioner of motor vehicles.
Expressing qualification that
both the District of Columbia and
Virginia will follow the lead of
Maryland in trying to eliminate
mechanically faulty automobiles
from the roads, and requiring
conditioning of those found
dangerous in tests, Baughman de.
clareS:
approximately $4,000 cars
will be inspected. In Maryland
1t is planned to provide more
than 1000 official stations for
the convenience of motorists.
AN IMPORTANT FACTOR
Il wish to stress the fact that
the mechanica lcondition of the
automobile is a most important
factor in the reduction of acci-
dents. Although motorists with
poor equipment should realize
this fact and drive accordingly,
human nature Is such that it
becomes necessary by compul-
sorry inspection to require the
motOrist to keep his vehicle in
a safe condition.
"The seriousness of this prob
lem becomes evident when we
consider that 100000 tons of
steel are carrying 100000 per-
sons over the streets and high.
ways Of Virginia, Maryland and
the District of Columbia.
MUST BE CONTROLLED
such potential and actual
force must be controlled. This
can be done by keeping such
things as brakes, tires, lights,
and steering mechanism in safe
condition.
IF motorists will anticipate
this inspection and carry out
promptly all requirements it will
save them a great deal of time
and inconvenience"

A. A. A. SEEKS TO PR0L0NG
STAY OF D. C. VISITORS
Motoring Body Plans to Make
Washington Headquarters
for Tours.

With the objective of prolonging the
Nations Capital and vicinity, the Dis
trict of Columbia division of the Amer
lean Automobile Association and hotel
interests have worked out a co-opera-
tive program to make Washington head
quarters for motor tours to adjacent
Virginia and Maryland
In announcing this program Ernest
N Smith. executive vice president Of
the American Automobile Association,
declared that, aside from increasing the
income of interests catering to visitors,
it will assure greater national interest
in the historical and scenic attractions
Of this area.
Washington" said Mr.. Smith, "occu-
pies peculiar place on the travel map
of the Nation. There is no city that
has so much appeal as the Nations
Capital. Hence less organized effort is
required to attract visitors. Even those
who have visited Washington many
times in the past are now returning
to see the rebuilding that is under way.
Our experience in handling thou
sands of visiting motorists has con-
clusively demonstrated that Washing
ton has not fully capitalized on these
visitors, that they have not remained
here as long as they would have II
inducements had been held out to them.
1 am confident that given the same
number of visitors, Los Angeles, to
name only one city that is tourist
minded, would have doubled the num-
Ter of days of stay per visitor"
AS a preliminary step, the District
of Columbia Division of the A. A. A.
has made available to hotels suggested
tours to the surrounding States, con-
veniently arranged so that the data
NAV be placed in every room In the
hotel. In addition, free maps and
travel information will be made avail
able by the A. A. A. to visitors pre-
senting cards furnished free Of charge
by Washington hotels.

much gusto. Stops were stops Ac-
celeration was process Of leaping.
Steering was tagging I sized her
up as case requiring greater familiar
1ty with some of the modern cars which
do not need to be giddyapped and

the most from the car. And puts the

I have had an inquiry from woman
who desires to learn to drive a car. Her
main concern seems to be how many
lessons she will need. I replied, sug-
gesting that this probably would depend
on how much home work" she did. A
surprising number of women have
worked out the essentials of shifting
and handling the clutch by discussing
the thing at the dinner table and by
studying simple diagrams. 1t is an ex-
ceIIent idea to sit in car just to go
through imaginary acts in driving.
Another woman asks: What is the
most important thing for me to know
when l am being given driving test?"
From observing beginners going
through their examination I have come
to the conclusion that the woman who
shows that she has read over and di-
gested the motor vehicle laws stands a
good chance of obtaining her license.

Analyses Domestic Allotment Plan.

SPOKANE-Dr Rex Willard Of
Washington State College, in analysing
the voluntary domestic allotment plar
at the last meeting of the agricultural
hurau of the Spokane Chamber Of
Commerce, declared that the interest
of the consumers are safe guarded. The
plan would be to bring the price OF
wheat paid farmers to the pre-War
level
The wheat grower is only 43 per
cent as well off as before the war,
DR.. Willard said. THE prr-war price
Of wheat in Washington to the farmer
was rs cents a bushel. 1t is to bring
the present price of wheat to that
basis that the plan has been developed.
THE excise tax or equalization fee
Of az cents bushel, which would be
paid by millers, does not apply TO any
wheat excepting that used for domestic
consumption and farmer will be able
to collect it only on about three-tifths
of his five-year average crop.
During the last summer the average
price of a pound loaf of bread was
So cents in the United States. The
AZ cents a bushel allotment on wheat
for domestic consumption would add
only seven-tenths cent a pound to a
loaf.
Provision is made in the plan for
reducing the amount of equalization
fee paid as high as 10 per cent in any
one year to hold production in line
with domestic consumption.
