Diving Car Needs Taught Just Like Playing at Chess "In an emergency an ordinary driver sometimes forgets many of the things he could do to avoid a catastrophe," says Charles M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor club. "Given a situation which demands a quick stop, he will kick out the clutch and jam on the foot brakes. He may forget the hand brake, which should be used in addition to the foot brake in an emergency. The average driver may also forget the steering wheel when there might be time to swerve the course sufficiently to avoid a collision with another object; perhaps he may 2176 Scalp Treatment Our scalp treatment in which we use the Thermo-Light, has the same scientific basis that applies to all our work and produces re- sults that cannot be secured in any other manner.

LAGERQUIST Props. forget that when an emergency stop is desired, the clutch should be left engaged, so that the motor itself, hav- ing its speed reduced by removal of the right foot from the accelerator, will really assist the brakes by retard- ing the speed of the clutch which thus remains connected with the rear driv- ing mechanism. "A good driver knows all the means at his command and very likely will be able to stop or change the course of his car or otherwise avoid a serious injury to anything in the event of an emergency. He makes a serious busi- ness of driving and, like a champion chess player, is able to figure out not only his own but his opponent's moves as well."

HEAR ARLISS LECTURE Many drama lovers of Winnetka were guests at the meeting of the Ev- anston chapter of the Drama League when George Arliss made his only non-professional appearance during his Chicago stay, Friday, February 19.

'FAITH' 1S SERMON SUBJECT "Faith: Old and New" will be the subject of the sermon to be delivered by Rabbi Harvey E. Wessel at the meeting of the North Shore Congrega- tion on March 5, it was announced this week. =) STUDY TRUCK TRAFFIC PROBLEMS IN COUNTY Cermak and Aids Plan Appeals for Legislation to Ease Congestion Truck traffic on state and county roads has become quite a problem to county officials, a problem which An- ton J. Cermak, president of the Coun- ty board vows will solve before long. He has called members of the high- way division before him and asked them to aid in the solution of the slow moving, heavy vehicle which he declares holds back traffic so greatly during the periods of mild weather when the roads become congested. "Pruck traffic," says Mr. Cermak, "when considered in percentage of total traffic is small. It is 6.2 percent, on Indianapolis avenue, which is gen- erally considered a heavy route for these vehicles. An average of ten of the principal entrances shows that only 54 percent of the total traffic consists of trucks. Though this traffic is light it is heavy when one considers that one truck may hold back a score or more of lighter and faster cars." Offer Solutions The solution advanced was as fol- lows: Either build truck routes or widen existing roads in order to permit four traffic lines in place of two. A temporary relief was also sug- gested to the president of the County board, namely, barring the truck and other slow-moving machines from the highways on Sundays and holidays. This, it was pointed out, would have to come through legislation as present laws do not permit local authorities to close highways to certain classes of traffic, and was discouraged because it would deter mercantile pursuits. It was also suggested that this class of vehicle be prohibited from using paved roads during rush hours. How- ever, for the same reason this plan was discouraged. Mr. Cermak was informed by offi- cials that the peak of traffic on paved highways occurs on Sundays between the hour of 5 and 6 P. M. In some states, it was pointed out, laws have been passed which set a minimum as well as maximum speed limit. This positively would bring results, one official said. A survey from other parts of the country showed that mo- torcycle policemen remove any slow moving machine from the road for questioning. In the interim the faster running cars are allowed to proceed ahead. Highway officials = hope that roads may be widened before this relief is asked. Therefore, the eyes of the men who have traffic regulation in command have been turned to Spring- field for legislation necessary to widen state and county highways. SUNDAY EVENING SERMON For the eight o'clock evening serv- ice at the Winnetka Congregational church, Sunday, Rev. Thomas A. Good- win announces as the sermon subject, "Does It Pay to be a Christian?" These Sunday evening services are contin- ually growing in interest and at- tendance.
