This acts as a powerful drag on the wheels which, balanced against the full power of the en- gine, causes them to pull mightily but so slowly that they do not &pin and therefore are less in- clined to slip. A gravel or loose stone road is not an aid to quick stopping. A greater margin of safety should zlways be alloored on such a road.

Luncheon was served to the visit- ing delegates at the Virginian Hotel, presided over by Giles H. Miller, toastmaster, at which' oocasion rep- resentatives from the Lions Club, Ro- tary Club and Kiwanis Club spoke, Edward F. Sheffey representing the Lions Club, Fred McWane represent- ing the Rotary Club and Giles H Miller the Kiwanis Club. Immediately after the luncheon the convention resolved itself into a business session, at which the char- n decided, more than tc' of tho ‘mation. and ter and by-laws of the new organiza- ion were adopted and the officers lected. There is little or nothing in OBSERVE AUTO LAWS ALL DRIVERS URGED New and Stringest Regulations Likely Unless Presént Ones Are Obeyed. THOUGHTLESSNESS BLAMED “Cussedness” Also Held Respon- sible for Violations. Violations of the rules of common sense, common decency as well as persistent violations of the lawa of the state, in reference to the opera- tion of motor vehicles, are, in most part, due to thoughtlessness on the part of @rivers, according to the be- lief expressed by the Hoosier State Automobile Association in a recent bulletin. “Part of it is pure thoughtless- the bulletin “and part is pure cussedness, but together these acts aro rolling up a storm cloud of indignation on the part of the general public against the operation of motor Vehicles. The offenses are usually committed by a small minority, but this lawless minority is quite apt to cause much trouble for the ma- Jority as well. “Friend at Court.” The Hoosier A.

We can do this with the co-ope- ration of motorits of Indiana, ot alone by their memberships in our organi- zation but by these motorists just resolving as individuals that they will not be guilty of thoughtless or willful violations of present laws or rules of decent behaviors in the opera- tion of their cars.” All Autoists Urged to Help. In short, it is declared, the Hoosier State Automobile Association wishes to impress on every owner the neco: sity of law observance and greater courtesy throughout the state. * we can. by preaching on this sub- ject, materially lessen complaints against demon speed fools and tho equally demoniac cut-out in JUNE 29, 1924—PART 3. MINUTE MESSAGES FOR MOTORISTS ACCESSORIES TO SELLING. (Prepared by the accessory committes of the Washington Automotive Trade Assoclation.) With a little more business tact on the part of motorists more of them would obtain better prices for their cars when they go to sell. One of the most important points in this connection is the matter of accessory equipment. ‘When an automobile dealer wants to make a car more attractive to the prospect he adds a fow accessories. The car immediately becomes more valuable to the prospect because it looks better and, with many accessories, is either safer or more efficient as a machine. Accessories are about the first thought in the dealer’s mind in selling a used car, after he has satisfied himself that the machine is an homest buy. Car owners frequently apply a reverse psyohology, and to poor advantage.

The thought- less violators are asked to think now of the consequences of their folly. It is better to round ourselves up with a sudden jerk right now than to wait for stringent laws adding compulsory jail sentences or the like to minor offenses and in general tving the motorist up with_a stringent lot of thou-shalt-nots.

Motor traffic, {nsignificant in Pales- tine before the war, is today more developed than In most European countries, dus to the system of ex- cellent roads comstructed by the British government and the Palestine Foundation Fund, aocording to.a re- port from Jerusalem, made public by Samuel Untermyer, president of the fund, which r¢ 'es most of its @nancial , support from American Jews. - Thirty-two motor car and motor bus lines are now operating between the various towns of the holy land. Rocently motor connections were es- tablished between Halfa, Palestine’s principal seaport, and Bagdad, center of the near east's commercial activ- itities, which has opened this vast hinterland for the sale of Palestinian products, and bas greatly stimulated business in the holy land. Because of the cheap rates charged by the motor lines for pamsenger and freight service, and tho stiff com- railroad fares have been greatly re- duced in Palestine to meeti the com- petition. The ninety-one Jewish colonfes of Palestine, forty-one of which owe their development to the Palestine Foundation Fund, are now all in easy communication ' with the _cities through the motor lines and new roads, thus affording them excellent opportunities for the prompt dis- posal of their products. 1321 New York Avenue (Near 14th Street) SAVE MONEY—INVESTIGATR TIRE SALE.
