The day is coming when the iaw will require all persons to pass examinations proving that they are physically and mentally fit and have sufficient knowledge to drive an automobile safely. Part of this examination will be on Just such subjects as the one presented In these lessons. Persons who should not be allowed to drive Ars include: » a. Children below a certalh age (usually sixteen). b. Persons whose height does not permit easy reach of the controlling pedals. c. Persons who have not sufficient strength to operate control levers easily and positively. d. Persons under the influence of liquor or drugs. e. Epileptics or others subject to fits or fainting spells. f. Persons who do not know and understand the traffic laws, ordinary rules of the road, and other points concerned with safe and efficient automobile operation. g. Persons with dangerous 'defective hearing or eyesight. h. Cripples or persons minus arms or legs whose defects interfere with their safe control of an automobile. L Persons whose nervous structure Is not sound or who do not react quickly. J. The mentally incompetent. Laws Are Needed. Lavffs have not yet been passed covering all of these points, but we should- bear these things In mind because they are essential for our own safety and the safety of others. The demands for safety are more stringent than the demands of the law and rightly so. Laws are primarily to insure justice. A full appreciation of safety saves lives and limbs no matter who is to blame. A man may have a mechanically perfect car, but because of careless driving lie may cause an accident, that results in serious injury or death to himself or others. Reckless driving is not a demonstration of skill. » A moment or two saved today by .reckless speeding Is not efficiency, for speeding tomorrow may result In a smash that will lay up the car for several days and you for several months. Hurrying to get ahead of a train, a street cnr, or another vehicle saves only a moment or two at the ultimate destination and the gain Is not worth the price; there is too much danger of accident Beet Drivers Are Careful. The best drivers are especially careful at dusk or twilight. There is then neither enough daylight nor sufficient artificial light to make objects distinguishable at ordinary distances. Slow up for all turns in the road. BUnd corners are dangerous. When it is impossible to see what is coming from around the corner, be prepared tq stop. Sound horn a short distance before the corner. When installing chains on the rear wheels, install them on both wheels or none at all. Only one chain may result In a serious accident Chains on afl four wheels help the steering of the car. There are ruts at the bottom of almost every hill. Hitting these ruts at too high a speed may cause the driver to lose control of his car. Drive slowly at bridges and at culverts. A bad rat or a stone In the road may throw your car against the structure. Protecting the Spai# | - Tire From Exhamt Cat The poisonous gases that issue from the exhaust of an automobile very often cause the rapid deterioration of the spare tire. These fumes curl about the ttre, eat away the live ingredients of the carcass, and when the tire is placed upon the wheel the rotten fabric explodes with a loud "plop." A piece of sheet iron bent and attached to the rear of the car, as illustrated, will deflect the exhaust and thus prevent the gases from injuring the tire. Just for curiosity's sake MrncnoM PLATE How the Fumes Prom the Exhaust of a Car Can Be Oeflectod so They Will Not Injur* the Spar* Tire. watch the cars as they go by and note how many of them throw the exhaust fumes into the spare tire. Yon will be surprised.--Paul Feterstoo in Popular Science Monthly. Many Autoists Neglect Oiling of Vital Parts The modern motorist by this ti tie has become, as a rule, well educated in the care of his car, save in the single respect of attending to the lubrication of the chassis. The average motorist has learned, perhaps, by the experience of paying $40 or $50 for a new battery, that it pays to attend regularly to Its tilling and testing. He has learned, perhaps, through paying for new bearings for his motor that it pays to keep plenty of oil in his crank case. But it la the average motorist who does not realise the Importance of chassis ^lubrication, because he never has realized sharply just what his neglect in this respect costs him. He is more apt, very humanly, to blame it upon the maker of the car, and tells his friends that his car has not "stood up" the way it should. If there were some way of making the motorist realize that it is nothing more or less than his own neglect of chassis lubrication that has been the cause of most of his troubles it would go a long way toward prolonging the life and the satisfactory service of most motor cars. Too Rich Mixture Will Often Cause Motor Heat Improper carburetor adjustment 1* often the cause of overheated engines Too rich mixture results In a pro longed, sluggish ignition causing tlu intense heat to be maintained over n longer period of time. This causet^ the water to heat up too quickly and in its comparatively short cycle o! circulation. It cannot become properly cooled, so that an overheated engine results. ^ The Increased heat, due to the pro longed, sluggish ignition caused by ; rich carburetor mixture, is transmit ted to the circulating water througl the medium of the cylinder walls. Th< rise in the water temperature Is In stantly recorded by the heat indicator on the radiator cap through the medium of the vapor temperature over the water. The warning of an overheated engine is thus given in ampir. time before serious damage results WEEKLY EXCHANGE HEMSflfJNTERESI TAKEN FROM COLUMNS 07 0U& EXCHANGES Assortment of News Items In Condensed Form For ?taiy People Construction of* the new Shokie Valley division of Chicago, North Shore, and Milwaukee railroad--the North Shore Line--is moving ahead at remarkable pace.

Schabeck, District Manager x Just Arrived Each Markar Represents a Fatal Motor Accident. Dotting tbe sides of Ohio's highways throughout the length of the state at frequent and Infrequent Intervals stand white crosses. They mark spots whe££ automobillsts have been killed. Aut^hobile drivers, rounding a •harp curve, in many sections come squarely upon a white cross, or possibly two or three, mute reminders that one or more persons have been killed 'at that spot. Gov. Vic Donahey was responsible toe the placing of the crosses. It was his Idea that they would- help to cut down automobile fatalities by making drivers more cautious. They have not been installed long enough, however, to draw any conclusions. Many automobile drivers declare they experience a sinking sensation when they suddenly come upon the white crosses. The governor has been condemned for the move on the ground it gives rise to morbid thoughts; others have praised it as being a good "sedative" fjjj^reckless drivers, -a; Excellent Saggeetiori^ M We ought to have a few more statees to the men who have made us merriest, besides those to warriors: There's Bill Nye, Art em us Ward and Bob Burdette.--Exchange.
