Offending Hesuffights Inspectors of the Motor Vehicle Bu- reau swooped down .upon the Suffolk villages In a week-end campaign to en- force the automobile headlight laws . Issuing hundreds of warnings and causing a rush of business at official testing stations never before experi- enced. Unlike other sallies , there was no previous announcement made , the Inspectors simply holding up traffic on the Montauk Highway and handing out the tickets. Babylon, Bay Shore and Isllp were visited, while Huntington and Pat- chogue were also centers of activity. The men were under the supervision it Lieut. Harry Muller and Patrick DeGl mm a , a ssistant headlight Inspec- o r fro m the office of Commissioner of Moto r \Vehicles Ch arles A. Harnett. Taki ng up points of vantage in the road, preferably undtr big shade trees , ..he work was carried on unrelentingly. More than 50 per cent, of the motorists were waved to the curb , where the in* spectors notified the drivers of their particular trouble. Headlights out ot focus , illegal lenses and poor reflectors were the chief complaints. Each driver received a green tag with orders to go to the nearest testing ' station. Within five days the tag must be returned to the Motor Vehicle Bureau at Albany, sig ned by the official tester as notification of compliance with the law. Refusal to comply within \ the specified time is cause for the revoca- tion of license plates , it was said. Pain ful Memory \One of my most bitter recollec- tions , \ related J. Fuller Gloom , \ was when, aa a young fellow . I was rude and Impertinent to a man much older than myself. I talked back to him and otherwise acted smart until he picked , up a club and whacked me on the hea d with It , knocking me flat. After- wards he kicked rue soundly. The remembrance of the Incident always comes up to take all the Joy oat of bright remarks at the expense of other people whenever I am' tempted te utter them. \ —Exchange. Autos Hurt Railwa ys Passenger revenues of New Zealand railways are said to be much affected by the competition of privately owned motor services operating on parallel routes. In the neighborhood of Wel- lington alone some 30 cars are oper- ating on rou tes from 15 to 126 miles In l ength , the main service being from Wellington to Wanganul. Ostensibly catering for Intertown traffic . It ac- tually does a little more than one-fifth Interior traffic as against four-fifths through traffic. The quicker service and cheaper rates char ged , added to the fact that connections with other boa lines are conveniently made , have diverted t raffic from the railwa ys. v I^ OACH ^ y ^ * Tlie »tr ^u*^mtiie New Ea*ex Coach steel body is the same qua lity and .range oae d in can co«t i n _r M000 and upward. < J wJtbiuh T&u ^m'tou. y bu/ CHARLES DIU G UID Tel 280 84 Edwards Ave., SAYVILLE. 1 ••-m—Mm^mmmmmmmmmmm^^^^^. ¦ * _ '' 7 , * ,, * , ' r ' ' -sUs %sVe ^-l^i4.Allsi fc i-.-U lata A aval -A. sVaasssSBBsVssSSlsl JBBswasaBB. ^^ We are in a position ; t o give all — Job— Printii uti ; Prompt and Caref ul | I Attention J . - , '• ' _ Ev __ ^r _T , * ( ' . 1 1 ^1™ ^ ^\\™ ™^^^WeT \ a ',i iilm rm^mm ^m ^y moy, : ; . #1 asSJ* SSS>ei||r fjsJSI^Ml ps _ e _^M^_ ^ ' ¦ T l nBfl ¦it '^ 1> '' ' : ' ' '^ , ' ' l'i i l:mJ ^i^il^ ^ '<-^u M mat AUCKIE , THE PRINTER'S DEVIL ¦ ' - . ^ zUfSi . am, jjZ ~ ' Mj foS o iilES \ \ V. - • - ~ supp lies \ ¦ ' \ \' ah J >^' r' A : c &Es ' iWM- WW ¦ by Erwln Greer , President of Greer College ot Automotive and Electrical Trades , Chica go , 111. The car you are driving is probabl y capable of a speed of from 60 to 70 miles an hour—but you cannot use this speed fox any length of time, without flirting with the angels. The modern highway, while built like a speedway, isn 't a one-way proposition like the rice track. Therefore , the! driver who speeds must always make frequent and nerve-rackin g stops which cuts down his avera ge time to a minimum. His speed is far below that ot the driver who maintains a steady pace hour after hour. What is- speeding? Since It la the primary cause of n majority of all automobile accidents , isn 't it abou t time that It Is plainly defined? A great many motorists think that th ere is something magically safe about motoring, when the speedometer hugs close to 20 miles an hour. Yet speeding can happen at any speed. One driver has discovered that much can be learned about speeding by driving the car with the speedom- eter disconnected. For the test he secured the services of a friend , who followed , him over a prescribed course ¦in another car. The driver with the disconnected speedometer proceeded Ju st as he would under normal condi- tions , and then checked up with the actual speed record , as noted by the friend following him. The results were surprising. Invariably he drove from 5 to 15 miles an hour faster than he thought he was going. This was particularly noticeable In traffic and in going down hill on the open highway. An interesting thing hap pened on one of these tests. The sudden ap- pearance of another car turning in from a crossroad , called for the quick- est possible stop. The driver with- out a speedometer actually tailed to stop in time to. avoid callision. Just because he thought he was stopping quickly enough , and never bothered to reach for the emergency brake , until it was too late ! . The experiment showed plainly that the average driver cannot guess his speed—that that he invariably goes faster than he thinks. It shows that a car driver is speeding, whenever his conception of a safe stopping distance is less than the actual stopping dis- tance. Putting two and two togethei this experiment shows that a drive: who drives without a speedometer , oi who does not watch his speedometer is speeding—at any speed.

He caught her there beyond the hill His hand was on her own , His eyes were motionless and still . Her face like flinty stone. \I did not speed , \ the maiden cried. \You simply have a grudge. \ \Just fifty bucks , \ the cop replied. \Go tell that to the Jud ge. \ It' s a long, long road that has no madhouse.
