One way for woman to learn to
drive Is just to imagine that friend

who makes 1t point to drop around
to the service station, even If her car
is running perfectly. She's merely get
ting a line on other peoples trouble,
but I think we can class her as q
trouble dodger rather than as hunter.
Her idea Is to find out at just about
what mileage she should expect certain
things to happen to the car. OF course,
she takes into consideration the mis-
takes owners make that hasten trouble,
but by watching things closely she is
able to get fairly accurate idea Of
when to be on her guard. Last month
she saved herself an accident by having
the front brakes looked over. She had
found another customer whose brakes
had failed and had noticed that the
the same mileage. Service men found
the parts in her car just about ready
to fail.
There is an axiom Of motoring which
could be capitalized to excellent advan-
tage by any one in doubt as to what
car to purchase. 1t can be reduced to
the brief statement that If women like
to drive the car it is on the preferred
list. have driven lot Of cars in the
past Is years, but I've never found 1t
engineered for feminine taste were the
quickest to pass from the picture.
A friend tells me that he has hit
on novel way Of worrying women
who do crazy things in driving. Every
time he meets f1agrant case Of bad
driving he politely doffs his hat. It's
the height Of sarcasm on his part, but
women naturally assume-with some
thing OF a conscience pang-that
they've been caught with the goods by
somebody who knows them.
Automobile dealers tell me that oc-
casionally they meet a customer who
Weeps bitterly when seeing the old car
pass from her hands. Now and again
a man will cover his sentiment by act
ing glum as the new car is rolled out
to take the place of the old. Oddly
enough, those who feel this way about
giving up trusted transportation follow
the slant of horse traders of another
day. A customer was always enter
would not be kind and considerate Of
Dobbin.
AL Of which has tempted a cynic to
-zobserve that maybe some motorists cry
y little at the thought of what is going
to happen to the new owner of the
old car when he or she tries to make
a quick stop or climb decent-sized
hill
Speaking Of new cars reminds me to
pass along the incident where woman
complained because the new possession
did not steer easily. According to the
salesman, the car was new and Stth
and would timber up In time. He ex-
planned that the service department
could loosen the gear, but that this
would result In unsatisfactory steering
later. The owner took his advice and
permitted things to take their natural
course. I've just driven her car and
can report that the steering stands out
as one of its more desirable features.

Auto Code Status

Auto Code Status
According to the Automotive Daily
News, trade journal for the automobile
industry, September l Is the deadline
for the approval of the code proposed
by the industry. which. If given, will OBJ
viate the necessity for the industry to
work under the Presidents blanket code.
The chief objection on the part Of
the industry to operation under the
Presidents is held that this code Is
strictly voluntary and, Of course. not
binding on any companies excepting
those which sign 1t. This condition
restrictions which could not be imposed
upon those who refused to sign. Nat
urally, those operating under the In
creased cost conditions imposed by the
code would be in less favorable COM
peting position than those not signing.
Another objection to the Presidents
code, so far as the industry Is con-
cerned, is understood to have been the
fact that the Presidents code does not
include the labor provisions proposed In
the industry's code.
Open hearings on the code already
approved by the industry and awaiting
formal Government approval were
scheduled to get under way last Friday.
1t is to be hoped that agreement can be
easily reached by both sides.
Aid to Uniformity Seen.
Efforts for uniformity in traffic regu-
lations, recently held needed by the
American Automobile Association, seem
under way.
The Utah Legislature has requested
the American Legislators Association to
nj
Western States. to meet in Salt Lake
City, following similar meeting Of II
Northeastern States which has been
called by the Pennsylvania General As
sembly at Harrisburg, Pa, October 20
and 81.
Thus II Northeastern States and IL
Western States will meet this Fall in
an attempt to frame reciprocal and
uniform laws and regulations relating
to dimensions, licensing, and taxation
Of motor vehicles which transport pas
sengers and freight.
The lack of complete, unified sys-
tenn of motor vehicles regulation has
been felt in the Far West. as well as
in the Northeastern States, and has
brought about demand for a Western
regional conference on the subject 1t
is possible that the outcome Of these

for the purpose Of promoting uniformity
where conditions urgently require it.
The initiative of the Pennsylvania
Legislature in calling the Harrisburg
conference has been warmly COM
mended throughout the Nation. It was
the hope that regional conference
held in the Northeastern States would
result in other conferences being called
and would eventually lead to inter-
regional uniformity in motor vehicle
regulations.
The outlook is declared promising
that these two regional conferences will
do much toward alleviating the present
unsatisfactory condition where, despite
the thousands of vehicles traversing
State lines daily, there are 40 different
sets Of regulations for motor vehicles
one for each State and the District
Of Columbia.

of the past fiscal year. received less IN
payments from the Government tiiai'
for any single month during the year.
Not only were the payments Tor June

Department, representatives OF all the

washington to work out plans for ab-
sorbine a still further Is per cent cut
in revenues. Even that may not be
the end. the Post Office having init
mated that further reductions may be
necessary in the near future.
OF q total of 3,274,252 miles sched-
uled to be flown by airmail planes dur
ing June, a total Of 1882 .894 miles &C
tually were flown, for an efficiency rec
ord Of 9965 per cent. The best previous
record for the year was in July, 1882,
when the mail pilots were able to COM
plete 80 IS per cent of all their sched-
uled mileage.
The mail planes during June carried
643, ,449 pounds of airman, new
monthly record for the year. Low

with the monthly high-water mark IN

During the whole Of the past fiscal
year airmail planes flew total Of 35,-

Of 38,114,425, piling up an average for

company contract has nothing to do
with the charges, Burke said.
He said the question in the case Is
the construction of the law.
If the law Is as we see it, there is
nothing to It," he said. If the law
is uncertain it should be sufficient
defense. It is conceded the commits
sioners acted in the interests of the
county. There is nothing challeng-
ing their good faith"
Burke called attention to the 10 per
cent discount given by the Tribune
for renewing the contract, adding that
everything shows good faith and an
attempt to do the best the commits
sioners could for the county"
Evidence Is Conclusive
The evidence is conclusive, he add
ed, that both Swanson and Solder
acted in absolute good faith; as for

On completion Of Burke's argyll
ment, the governor asked the defense
counsel to draw an order reinstating

to file brief on the case as regards

wanted to dispose Of the case as quick
ly as possible.

had presented in oral arguments. No
