Milady's Motoring
By FREDERICK G. RUSSELL.

she probably never would drive again
While I was talking with her I over
that he had decided to learn to drive
the car. He had been explaining how
their accident had shaken them up
and acquainted them with the local
hospital. I suppose that's one way OF
encouraging man to learn to drive.
There's a little bit OF danger in sit
ting at the wheel of any new and
unfamiliar car to look it over. I re-
member the woman who tried all the
buttons on the instrument panel until
she accidentally came to the starter
The car happened to be in gear and
a child was standing between the front
bumper and the garage wall.
In an accessory shop I saw a clever
little spray gun which will operate from
the air in spare tire. With the aid
of this device doubtless many women
will be trying to touch up the tenders
and will try even more ambitious lac
quering in the garage. So just word
of caution. Have the place well venti-
lated and don't smoke. Lacquer fumes
are highly combustible.
The rear wheels of the car will tend
to lock and slide more if there is no one
sitting in the rear. That is because
weight tips forward during stopping. II
you start with less weight on the real
the rear wheels will have even less trac-
ton when the brakes are sharply ap-
piled. All of which Is just another way
of saying that when you have the brakes
adjusted it is well to carry the passen-
ger load you expect to have as a regu-
lar diet.
BY reading the oil pressure gauge
skillfully any woman motorist can keer

and condition of the engine. How

ers? When oil pressure registers de.
cided drop it is important not to jump
to conclusions. The pump gears may
be at fault, but more likely cause Of
trouble Is weakening OF the spring o.
the pressure relief valve. This Is thu
device that provides an escape of OF
back into the crankcase when pressure
gets too high.

Would you say that parking IS one
way to make ends meet?

Service men have developed new
attitude toward women who own and
drive cars, largely because the latter
are willing to concede that the former
know their business. Women do not
pretend to be mechanically inclined
They are interested in what makes the
wheels 60 round, are willing to learn
and ask questions that lead to better
understanding of the car. But they dc
not tell the mechanic how he ought to
do his work. A contrast with the gentle
men who consider themselves me-
chanical-minded by virtue Of their sue
cess in oiling the hinge of the screen
door.
After that bit of bouquet-throwing
Just want to present recent scene, in
which a woman called down service
manager because he intrusted her car
to a mechanic who had to look up in
his reference book the details of GER
tain electrical adjustment. She as
sumed the man did not know his bust
ness, but the service manager was able
to explain that this little piece of pre-
caution was really an extra dividend
The mechanic who should be avoided
Is the one who takes shot at jobs
by guesswork.
That any automobile is glutton fol

sidering some of the records which
are hung up by various of its parts

and municipal taxes upon this COM
modify. and the imposition of this fifth
tax, either as the increased price of
blended fuel or the proposed levy upon
unblended fuel, further would curtail
consumption.
In the past few years the United
States Bureau Of Standards has tested
devices, dopes and fuels for which such
extravagant claims are made. It re-
ports that not in one single instance
have the claims been proved or the
merits established. In every case it
was found that the same, or better,
results could be obtained by proper
adjustment OF the carburetor or proper
tuning of the motor. And the bureau
added that it is almost impossible for
the average motorist to determine the
operating efficiency of his motor. so
numerous and complicated are the
variables involved.
Unqualified Endorsement" Mr..
Dfrksen states. has come from such
organizations as the National Grange,
the American Farm Bureau Federation,
and others. The first national farm
organization to take a stand on the
subject was the National Farmers

Gasoline tax revenues in Illinois can
be used only for road Improvements,
according to a permanent Injunction
against diversion recently granted by
Circuit Judge L. E. Stone of Sangamon
County.
Despite wide public protest, gas tax
funds were being used by many Illinois
counties for unemployment relief. The
decision holding diversion unconstitu-
tional, 1t Is believed, will now place the
financing Of total of $4,000, 900 in
bond issues on property owners in sew
eral counties where unemployment
relief bonds were issued against gas
tax money.
This Is the second decision which
outlaws diversion Of gasoline taxes. In
Minnesota, the attorney general re-
Gently ruled that gas tax allotments to
counties cannot be diverted. He stated,
They shall be used only for construc-
ton, improvement and maintenance of
county aid roads" Minnesota counties
may not borrow from gas tax funds for
other governmental purposes.
The ruling against diversion In
Illinois will greatly accelerate road
building, is the general opinion of
county and State officials and road
builders. Under diversion legislation In
Illinois It was possible for the counties
to use some $125, 1000, 900 for unemploy-
ment relief bond issues spread over q

Airport Tubes
Services Urged
For u. S. Mails

NEW YORK. Aug. 25. (UP)--
Two New York congressman
have planned to overcome the
drag on the speed Of air mali
between the time it reaches the
airport and arrives at the city
postoffice.
They are Congressman Stcph-
an A. Rudd and Congressman
Emanuel Cellar Of Brooklyn.
Representative Rudd has intro
duced a bill into congress author
ling the postoffice department
to INSTALL and operate under
ground pneumatic mail tubes be-
tween Floyd Bennett Field and
the Brooklyn general postofficc.
Congressman Cellars bill pro.
vides for tubes between Grand
Central airport and the main
postoffice at Pennsylvania sta
ton, Manhattan.
PUSH BILLS
They will push these bills at
the next session of congress, con-
fidcnt that if they go through,
the mail tubes will prove self
liQuidating projects as far as the
government is concerned.
1t is pointed out that it takes
air mail longer to travel be-
tween the main postofficcs in
Boston and New York and the
airports at which mail is receiv-
cd for these cities than it takes
fast plane to run from New
York to Boston.
Air mail arriving at n Newark
airport in the early afternoon
cannot be delivered by carrier in
New York city until the next
morning, since the last carrier
leaves the postoffice of his mail
delivery routes at 2:15 p. m.
The use of pneumatic tubes, pro-
ponents of thccs bills point out,
would enable air mail to reach
the postoffice in a few minutes
after its arrival at an airport
and catch q late delivery the

DEATH ON THE HIGHWAYS

One Associated Press dispatch last week began
with the sentence death rode the highways
of northern Indiana early today and the lives Of
ten persons were snuffed out near South Bend and
Fort Wayne; IA others were injured, most of them
seriously"
Death rides on the highways of every state every
day in the year. Recklessness and carelessness in
various forms contribute most of the deaths A
poorly maintained car fails its driver at critical
moment speed fend races along the highway re-
gardless of the rights and safety of others; driver
ignorant of the traffic rules menaces all motorists
on his route; man asleep at the wheel is aroused
suddenly and pulls his car into another; car
sweeps around curve over the brow of a hill
into a fatal crash; drunken driver bleary-eyed
and mentally deranged drives madly through the
streets and highways; careless pedestrian tempts
death by abuse of streets and highways.
All these violations of law and common sense
conspire to make death ride on the highways Of
the United States. They make the slaughter worse
than war. Yet we hear coroners juries and gov
eminent officials declare many accidents unavod-
able. There are few unavoidable accidents. Into
practically all of them the element of carelessness
enters.-Spartanburg Herald.
