It might also be caused by the wheel being pressed too far upon the axle, so that scraping noise were transferred to the drum instead of to the band.

Playground For City’s People; Rules of Courtesy and Safety Should Be Observed. BY J. B. GRIFFITH, (President of The Casper Motor Club{ As was intended by those who have spent years of time and labor in securing a good road from Casper to the top of Casper Mountain, this great scenic spot is fast becoming the playground for the people of Casper. Last Sunday it was estimated that between 250 and 300 cars made the trip to the top of the mountain. In time, and we hope it will be soon, there will be an excellent two-way road up the mountain, At the pres ent time the road is wide enough for two cars to pass at almost any place on the road, but a degree of caution is necessary to insure absolute safety. Before rounding the turns sound your horn and slow down. ‘There | may be a car coming down. Hesitate at all turnouts and see if| there is ar making the descent, and | try to pass him at the safest and| most convenient place.

As our statutes are out of date in governing the heavy traffic of today, it is well to follow the law of courtesy, ‘Trent your fellow motorist as you would like to be treated.” Tt has been well said that “The most obnoxious ant- mal in the world is the road hog. He is just like any other hog ‘except that you can't eat him.” There are many Ddeattiful. litte parks on top of the mountain, all of Al most all of them’ are locatnd on pri- vate land upon which homesteaders have settled.
