practice the old axiom OF Live and
let live"
He sets forth the following dos
and don'tS":
Don't drive at excessive speed. This
is the first and foremost cause of dis
aSter on the highways.
Don't cling to the center of the
road, thereby lining up vehicles in
back of you that dodge out and back
to get around you, to the extreme dam
ger of themselves and all who come
near them.
Observe all stop signs.
Don't pull away from curb without
looking back and signaling.
Keep sharp eye on children and go
slowly through school zones Remem-
ber that children playing are not
thinking human beings"
Don't jump the green light.
See that your automobile is in good
mechanical condition, especially as to
brakes and lights.
Don't turn around. if you are driv-
ing, to engage in back-seat conversa-
ton. Safety demands the concentra-
ton of ones entire attention upon the
operation Of the car.
Don't overtake and pass a car on
curve or on the crest Of hill
Don't be a pest by undue blowing
OF your horn. Horn blowing should
never be substituted for careful driv-
ing.
Don't drive if you are sleepy or
fatigued.
Observe all hand signals.
Don't crowd the front seat. Even
the most careful driver needs plenty
of arm and leg room.
Uncle Sans Motor Transport
School from Camp Holabird, Md, now
on an extended tour of the industrial
section of the country, visited the fac
tories Of the Cummlns Engine Co., in
Columbus, Ind. this month.
Numbering II officers and so en-
listed men selected from all depart
mentS and stations of military service
throughout United States possessions,
the travelling military college took a
brief course in Diesel engineering when
conducted through the various plant
units by G. L. Cummins, president of
the company and designer of the en-
gines now being used in electrical, in
duStrial. motor transport, marine and
locomotive service
Attention was attracted to the Co.
lumbus Diesel plants by the school by
the fact that one of the Cummins en-
glneS is in service at the Maryland
camp. Interest in the oil-burning
equipment, the officers in charge of
the encourage stated, was responsible
for listing the local factory on the
itinerary.
While final tests were being run on
the new passenger car Diesel engine
being perfected here by the Cummins
Engine Co., production on previous
models for electrical industrial, ma
rine, truck and locomotive service was
reported more than 80 per cent ahead
Of year ago.
C. L. CumminS, designer of the
Diesel bearing his name and president
of the company, is constantly at work
with his engineering staff pushing the
small, six-cylinder motor to perfection
1t has already had several days run
on the block and dynamometer tests
have proved highly gratifying, accord
ing to Mr.. Cummins.
The first of these engines, of which
five are now in production for final
Governmental tests in actual road SerV-
ice, will soon be mounted in current
model passenger automobile of prom
inent make, the manufacturer stated,
and negotiations with a well-known
manufacturer to supply chasses and
bodies for the Diesel passenger car are
practically completed.
Mr.. Cummins expects to have the
first experimental car on the high
ways before the end of the month, but
no car of this type will be featured in
the Indianapolis speed classic May 80
