Preventing Autotrtobde Accidents.
Automobile acc:denta are increasing
with alarming speed anti. numbers.
-A large number of the accidents i
cities are due to the care'_e sne s
Pedestrians. But automobile accident-
are
cci.ien-are by no means confined to cite
The country districts probably have
as high a rate per person. In the
country, too,' the accidents are often
cause$ by carelessness , or neglect
There are many accidents that can. be
prevented by the exercise .of a little
care and attention .on the part of the
mo;ovist to the mechanicral side of the
car_

A proper regard for the safety of
others should influence every !river

or dirt to smother the flames.
A large percentage, of . automobile
accidents is caused' by driving a car
that has a broken steering gear—usu-
ally a preventable cause. An accident
lue to this cause is like:y to cedar
when : rounding a sharp curve, which
adds to the seriousr_es's of the conse-
quences. Extra strain on • the gear,
caused by remaking the curve. may
prove too touch tension on a worn
piece and an at (dent follows_ The
fact that the steering gear is situated
beneath the car where it accumulates
dust and' crud is responsible for the
fact that the car owner does not often
examine it, and the gear receives but
little or no attention. The kering,
gear 'of every car should be inspected
• at. least ante a week—tightened. and
examined for worn or weak places
The eh:14y to stop a car quick! is
just as important as ability t0 con -1
trol the direction of the car. Your
brakes should be testes:each week.
Testing is so simple ani inexpensive
that there is no excuse for not doing
it. Jack up the rear of the car so
that both wheels are off the ground
One mon should sit in the dr:vers;
