Probably the average player, with
out making a careful analysis, would
say that South had stuck his neck
out" in making a bid of five dia-
monds on the hand given below.
Many, no doubt, even after an ex-
animation of possible plays, would
be unable to find way for the de-
clarer to win his contract Before
passing hasty judgment, however,
let us observe the method employed
by a rubber bridge player in game
at Mrs. Dixie T. Wrights Studio,

and learn how the thing was done.

Leakage and Slippage.
II your car starts to move after
| coming to complete stop, and you
still have your foot pressed on the
pedal, the indications are that there
is leakage in the hydraulic system.
Pressure won't stay up in the lines.
But If the car moves after you have
set the hand brake, which is me-
chanical in action on most cars, it
means that the hand brake hookup
needs adjusting.
You Can't Do That.
One of the most important things
in safe driving is to know what your
car can't do. 1t will save many a
risk because it helps you to avoid
taking chances. Every now and again
it is we'll to give the car a test on
an upgrade just to see what acceler-
ations it has, if any, when already
doing a good job of climbing. This
will tell you whether or not you are
taking your life in your hands when
trying to overtake another car, pro-
vided it is legal to do so. And why
not carry this to its logical conclu-
sion by testing the brakes to see
just what you can expect? 1t isn't
enough to know that the brakes test
all right on machine. You want to
know what they will do in action, and
most important what they won't do.
For instance, the brakes may be
equal to very sudden stop, yet the
tires and the shifting of car weight
may be such as to send the car into
slide before full braking power
can be applied.
"Rev" Up the Engine.
While the habit of "revving" up the
engine is foolish and wasteful one,
nevertheless there are times when
it pays to accelerate the engine. Best
example is clearing the cylinders to
avoid overlooking and stalling when
stopped in traffic on a hot day.
Speeding up the engine can also be
used to shake the motor horns into
action should they fail to sound
when needed. Accelerate the engine
also when about to start off in low
gear on an upgrade. Engage the
clutch as the engine is slowing down,
then step on the gas again. This
will give smooth, certain start, yet
without risk of spinning the driving
wheels.

This is the way the hand was
played: After winning with the ace

Jay Walkers Get Tickets

If Jay walkers wish to avoid
being given traffic slip it would
be well for them to learn and OBJ
serve the following rules:
Cross at the crosswalk. That's
where the motorist expects to see
you, and there, if anywhere, he
will have his car under proper
control.
1t isn't enough to wait for the
green light. When you start to
cross watch out for cars attempt
ing to turn in behind you. An
estimate nine-tenths of the pedes-
TRANS killed or hurt while moving
with the proper signal are struck
by turning vehicles.
The first few steps off the curb
are the most dangerous. Three
fourths of all pedestrian accidents
at intersections occur before the
WdlhCI lCdCilcS Lie Illluult DI The
street.
Walk briskly. Don't hesitate,
don't run, don't turn back. You
can straighten out many a con-
fused situation by simply holding
up your hand as a signal to the
driver to slow down or stop.
When an approaching car ap-
pears to be less than four cars
lengths away, wait until it passes
before attempting to cross. If
it's moving 25 miles an hour or
more, you can't reach the middle
of the street ahead of it. And it
can't stop.
When waiting for traffic to
clear, stand on the curb, not in the
street. It's frequently a side
swipe or protruding door handle
that causes accidents.
And wherever you are, remem-
Der that every rule for safe driv-
ing is matched by a rule for safe
walking.
