used are they to travelling on
straight-away, level highways with
never a thought to the hazard or
danger that may be lurking around
a curve or over a hill Conversely,
drivers used to curves and hills,
which tend to inhibit speeding, are
prone to excessively fast driving
when visiting states with fiat, open,
smooth configuration.
Most of the complaints of infrac-
tions by Ohio motorists in other
states come from Pennsylvania, due
largely to the dense interfow of
traffic between the two states on
account of their proximity. In COM
munications to the Ohio department
of highways, Pennsylvanians COM
plain in the greatest numbers, of
visiting Ohioans making themselves
menace by passing on curves and
hills in the absence OF clear view
ahead.
Therefore, director Mcrrell urges
Ohio motorists to observe closely
the rules of safety at all times out
Of as we'll as within the state.

having the worst sand storm today
we have had yet" AS we remember
she stated in former letter that
they had had but little rain since
August. Could they have had some
we could have spared they would not
be bothered with dust for awhile, as
the creeks were out over the bot

Monday.

Glenns at that time lived on the D.
L. Jenkins farm. Besides this son
they were the parents of two other
sons-Andrew and Nat, and one
daughter, Belle. Soon after the
war, they moved to Indiana. Before
they left John Weeden asked Nat

fact it got so serious that John was

Ohio Motorists And Interstate
Driving

Highway safety applies not only
to driving in ones home state, but
also to driving III other states as
well. This fact is called to the at
tention OF Ohio motorists by o. w.
Merrell, state director of highways.
in view of complaints reaching him
from other states concerning i'm
proper and reckless operation of
motor vehicles bearing Ohio Ii
censes.
While it is true that traffic regu-
lations do vary in various states,
these yariances are, for the most
part. OF a more or less minor nature
of such nature, in fact, as to re-
suit. basically, in no conflicting diff
ferences with fundamental traffic
regulations everywhere common,
viz. driving on the wrong side of
the highway, usurping the right-of-
way. passing a standing street car,
parking in front of a fire hydrant or
in d safety zone, jumping a red
light, etc.
Loca. conditions often make
necessary the appending Of special
rules to these fundamental regula-
tions in order to achieve the max
imum of efficiency in traffic control,
and OF these special rules strange
l,,;-,1.,- a., j., :, - ,r,;eo I,a oypactad I,
be acquainted. Hence for OCCASION
a transgressions of them the strange
drivers cannot, in all justice, be ad-
judged entirely blameworthy unless
the transgressiOns also involve the
violation of one of the fundamental
regulations, in which case there is
no excuse whatever. But then if no
fundamental regulation is violated,
it is less than probable that the
transgressions will eventuate in any
serious consequence
Many motorists assume a peculiar
attitude when driving in another
state. 1t is, ia a way, psychologi-
cal reaction In their own state
they pay relatively obedient heed to
the traffic laws because they are
habituated to the idea the laws are
formulated for them, but when they
pass out of the state into another
they feel that, in so doing, they
succeed to sort of license to a wild
er latitude in the matter of traffic !
observance. In word, they feel |
the native driver is now the one to
whom the laws and rules more es-
pecially apply. So the foreign mo-
torist takes many liberties and |
chances he no doubt would not take |
if In his own state. On the other |
hand, geographical conditions fire.
quently influence the mode of driv-
ing. Motorists from states COM
paratively free of hilly winding |
roads and curves are inclined when |
traversing curves. and hills, to an in
cautious carelessness and unwari-
ness incompatible with safety. so
