Fror:l the Yeteran, the novice should learn to do his slow driving on the right hand side of the road, leaving the inside Ia n ('~ for fa~ter movinsr traffc; always to move over on a signal from the rear; to make intelligen't use of his horn; never to pass another car on a hill or on a curve; to sound his horn before emergin~ from alleys, and to drive with extreme caution wherever he encounters pedestrians, especially children; to make proper use of the signal lights and to start on the green, and not on the yellow; always to look before pulling away from the curb. These are a few of the precaution ·· the veteran driver always .takes, an·d thev will accomplish more in the way of reducing accidents than all the efforts of anateur safety tinkers, who perhaps mean well, but who accomplish little. L·ifting Machine Newest Addition at Skokie Garage · The necessity for speed and more in handling repairing and grea sing jobs is recognized by the Skokie Motor company of Main street, 'Vil mette, north shore Ford dealers, th is being evidenced by the installation th i ; week of a new car-lifting device.

States has doubled in less than five years and in some states it is still increasing at an even more rapid rate, Thomas H. MacDonald, chief of il·e Bureau of Public Roads states. The design of motor vehicles has been so perfected, Dr:. McDonald pointed out, that greater speed can be attained without increasing the ha~ ard so far as the vehicles themselves are concerned, while "development of common carrier buses is still in its infancy." Dealers, manufacturers and other automotive operators from 107 countries have been invited to attend th e national automobile show in New York, January 5-12. Instructive meetings have been arrang~d for foreign guests with speakers covering the various phases of merchandising, selling and servicing, about which our comprehensive American experience can probably give our visitors considerable help.
