Occasionally one sees big, googMooking on the street is mounted a bumper which certain- ly is not in keeging the layout. For instance, we saw a limeusine w less than $7,500 pyr bumper of tubular is this entirely to be on so 3 does not offer of protection. This sort of bumper is destroyed, in one accident, and it does not save the radiator or fender behind it. The kind of bumper which does. not survive one collision.is not worth the buying The old type of chan- nel bumper, which looked pretty good but was not any more effective than the tubular type, also has gone out. There are several ellent bump- ers on the market ch really do protect and go through a series of mishaps without the need of re- placement. This is the sort of bump- er that every motorist who drives at all in traffic should 'have, and cer- tdinly it is poor economy ahd poor taste to put a cheap-looking bump- er on a fine-looking car. The habit of using bumpers fore and aft is growing. This is double protection of the most desirable kind.

This from a' recent issue of Motor Travel, the organ of the Automo- bile Club of America. It is possible that in the present temper of the public it is difficult for the motorist to receive even- handed justice. A campaign of edu- cation should be carried on to coun- teract the uureasoning prejudice that is often ir the mind of the citizen against the car owner, There are one or two organizations in the State '! one especially in New York City-- who assemble their statistics from newspaper reports of accidents, the information often being so meagre that there is no- way of telling whether a motorist is in the least at fault, nothing to indicate where the responsibility lies, and yet it.is as- sumed, the way reports are written, that the motorist is to blame.
