REVISED TRAFFIC LAW SUMMARIZED Safety Council Digests Im- portant Changes Motorists Should Know. A digest of the recent traffic law changes has “been prepared by the Washington Safety Council. Motorists should read the following extracts carefully, so that they will be cogni- zant of these important regulations it is unlawful, and punishable by fine not to exceed $300, to operate a vehicle or street.car in such manner or condition as to endanger life, imb or propert: The right-of-way clause has been amended to read as follows: “Except as herein provided, when two or more vehleles, approaching at a lawful rate of speed, reach the bullding lines at a highway intersection at approxi- mately the same time. the vehicle approaching from the right has the right of way.” Stopping at Cross-Walk, When approaching a policed ‘inter- section, the driver of a vehicle shall not proceed beyond the near side of the near cross-walk. unless authorized 10 do so by voice, hand or mechanical signal of the officer. When overtaken by another vehicle moving at a greater, but legal rate of speed, the driver of which has in- dicated by a clearly audible sound his intention to p; ., the driver of the overtaken vehicle shall not increase his speed. but shall give way to the right in order to allow free vassige. Tt is unlawful to pass a vehicl> go- ing in the same direction when the view of the road ahead is >oscured. Drawing Out From Curl When drawing out from a curb or parking place. a driver vhall ixdicate his intentions by an unmistakable signal, and shall not raw out in such manner as to interfere with traffic. All motor trucks shall be equipped with the .manufacturems caution plates. They shall also have marked on each side, in letters not less than three inches high and of a color con- spicuously contrasting with the sur- face on which they are placed. the rated capacity of the truck in tons. No truck shall be loaded more than 20 per cent in excess of its rated ca- pacity. THE OWNER-DRIVER'S | | COLUMN. When the body, wheels and axles of a car have been cleaneq of all dirt{ and grease the amateur should turn his attention to the job | of filling cracks, removing dents and touching up bare spots. The only way to remove a dent in the metal of body or fenders is from the inside. This means perhaps the removal of some of the upholstering, | which should be curefully done. Uue‘v a rawhide mallet or one of lead to hammer out the dent, having, at the same time, a man holding a block of wood against the outside. Holes and cracks in body metal should be scraped to bright metal, then filled| with solder and filed level. This isj better than putty, though putty can be used in cavities where it canit arop out. Touching up bare spots where paint has been accidentally knockeq off or worn is next in order. Thoroughly clean the spot of all rust by the use of sand paper or, better still, emery cloth, making sure to roughen the bright. metal a bit with fairly coarse sand paper, so that it will offer better anchoraj for the paint. Making the Mixture, Mix a little red lead or white lead with enough of a mixture of one part raw linseed oil and three parts tur- pentine to make a gooq painting con- sistency, Add a few drops of Japan drier or coach Japan, also a bit of the proper tinting color, ground in Japan to match the old paint. Apply three or féur coats of this primer to the spots to be treated, sandpapering with size O sandpape. between each coat, the last coat should be rubbed down with pumice stone on a piece of wet felt. Th(.!] prepares bare spots for whatever *he rest of the body I8 to receiv If the body is to have a varnish coat only, then it may be necessary to maten the old color more carefully n_is possible with lead paint. For he last coat, one of japan color of ‘he correct shade should bc used, thinned with turpentine. When col- 13 other than black are to be match- «~d this may require mixing japars «f different colors to match. This is | sometimes a bit diMcult, but colors| can be tried outeon the car body in a small way to see how they match, | then wipe them off before dry ] | i painter a cloth wet with turpentine. For Rubbing Surface. For rubbing a surface previous to | applying a touch-up varnish coat the | Lest thing to use is powdered pumice | on a plece of water-soaked felt. Dip | the wet felt into a flat dish contain Ing a little ground pumice and rub a spot no larger than can be com- pleted without applying fresh pumice. This leaves a smoother surface be- cause fresh pumice scratches more deeply than will the worn material. How long to rub? is a question the beginner finds hard to answer—but for a touc up job only enough rub- Ling should be done to remove the 1085 of the varnish and dirt. All hat is wanted is a dull, smooth and lean surface; and more than this| will be harmful. Wet the surface of the patch to be rubbed, then rub, using a little pressure and a circular motion #1l the spot Ishows an even dullness upon sponging off with water, and drying with a chamots. A little cxperimenting will be necessary to get the right amount,| but it is not hard and the main thing | is not to rub too much. Corners, ridges and moldings will be rubbed bare unless great care is taken to prevent this. Never rub parallel to a molding or corner, always approach these with a circular motion which includes part of the panel inclosed by tne” edge. Should Memnove Wax. Tt wax has been used on the car as & polish, it is best removed before rubbing with a rag soaked in tur pentine, which has been warmed by | placing the can in hot water. Before fthe turpentine has dried off rub the wax off with a dry cloth. A few ap- plications of this may be necessary. The surface may then be rubbed as described above. When the rubbing has been com- pleted the surface must be thor- oughly washed with clean water, us- ing a brand-new sponge, or one whieh vas never used on grease. Use a clean paint brush, with fairly stiff bristles to remove all bits of dust and sand from cracks and crevices around the car surface. Barticular attention should be paid to such joints as fend- ers and body; also body and chassis. The varnish brush wiil reach in and drag out any dirt particles hidden in them and when such is the case a =ood “Job is impossible. The washed parts ‘should now be allowed to dry for twelve hours before paint or var- nish is applied. Hiss Good Deed. From the Chicago Tribune, | “It the duty of every one to make at least one person happy dur- ing the week,” sald the Sunda; “:Il;og'l o ’ “Have you done so, " replied the boy. ‘That's right. What did you do?" “T went to see my aunt and she was happy when L left.” { Messts MASONIC. | HRINE week, an unforgettable | perfod for Masons in the Dxa-i trict of Columbia, has come and gone, leaving nothing but pleas- ant memories in its train for its pro- moters and those who were inter- ested with them in its success. Not only in the mattér of parades, illu-| minations, pageants and all the other glorfes of an ultra spectacular char- acter, but in dignity, strength and in the general spirit of order and good fellowship that prevalied, almost without exception, throughout the entire time, it Is doubtful if Wash-| ington has ever before seen its equal, and when its magnitude is considered, whether it is llkely to be repeated in years to come. Not only the local Masons, but Washington in its en- tirety seemed to manifest itself in every field of action to establish the unescapable fact that the hospitality and good will of the people of the National Capital deserve the friend- ship and consideration of every s tion of this great republic. Wash- ingtonians are always with, if not of, the citizens of the United' States in every worthy enterprise, working, sacrificing. paying and even dying for the welfare of their common countr Members of the Masonic bodies and of the Order of the Eastern Star during the past week gave them- ‘selves over labgely to entertaining and to being entertained by the visit- ing Shriners. But few of the bodivs devoted themselves to degree work and those which did, worked only he- | cause It was imperative. The cur- rent week according ,to reports, | promises but little moré.

Palmer, grand chaplain of the Grand Lodge, will again Wave charge of the meetings, and’ Walter Humphrey has music. The speaker will be Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson, pastor of Bethany Baptist Church. The broadcasting amplifier, which last Sunday enabled the crowds that covered the hillsides to hear with perfect distinctness, will again be used. ‘It is expected that many of the Shriners with their fami- lies ‘will take advantage of this op- portunity to join in this service on the site of the temple that is to be built to house all branches of Ma- | sonry in the city of Washington. His excellency, Husse Alai, Per- n minister to the United States, will be the honor guest of Harmony Lodge, No. 17, at its communication Wednesday evening and will deliver an address after the degree work.

Martin, its second oldest living past master and the first brother to be raised in the lodge. Ellwood P. Morey. deputy for the Supreme Council in the District, states in a signed communication in the Scottish Rite Cathedral calendar for June as follows: “I feel that the most hearty thanks and appreciation are due my brethren of the rite for the splendid co-operation they have given us.all in general and me in particular in the strenuous season which closed with the class of May 25. We have progressed materfally. we have added many good men and true to our rolls, we have improved our degree work, we have made strides in our llbrary, we have taken many steps toward our new cathe- dral. we have started Robert Le Bruce Chapter, Order of De Molay, well on its way to permanent suc- cess * ¢ ¢ Now we rest for the summer, save for business meetings.” His bretbren of the Scottish Rite, it is sald, feel that Deputy Morey has richly earned a rest, for in addition to his labors in the rite, he has not been idle for some months as chair- man of the housing committee of tha Shrine. a job of vital importance and unending actlvity.
