MYPUTINTELLIGENCE
TEST M CH DRIVERS
Conference Called to Devise
Methods for Avoiding Auto
mobile Accidents
CHICAGO, Sept. 4.—An intel
ligence test for the man or wom
an who drives a motor car is a
possibility within the next two or
three years.
Representatives of 13 Middle
Western states are to be invited to
attend the Conference of Motor
Vehicle Administrators, represent
ing state automobile licensing bu
reaus, .to be held here early in
September, at which plans will be
made for working out safety-first
laws for automobilists and pedes
trians. The movement is being fos
tered by the National Safety Coun
cil. The convention is to be call
ed by Fred M. Rosseland, chief of
the public safety division of the
National Safety Council.
“The man who drives a iar for
I somebody else must pass an exam
ination,” said Walter W. Miller,
chief clerk of the automobile divis
ion of the Illinois Department of
States. “But anybody can drive
an automobile if he owns it, wheth
er he has ordinary horse sense or
not.
“The accidents do not happen to
licensed chauffeurs. They happen
to the unskilled drivers. The con
ference will make plans for uni
form laws to govern the licensing
of automobile operators to see if
they are sufficiently competent
mentally to* handle a motor driven
vehicle. Some form of intelligence
test is likely to be devised.”
Representatives of the state de
partments of Illinois. Indiana,
Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minne
sota, lowa, Mis=ciri, Kentucky
Kansas. Nebraska and North and
South Dakota will be invited. It
is hoped to have the conference
just prior to the meeting of the
secretaries of state at Asheville,
N. C., September 13, 14, 15.
There is a real need, according
to the offiieals sponsoring the con
ference, for uinform laws of driv
ing to lessen the death rate. One
way suggested is to prevent a man
who never has handled a car before
from buying a machine and
promptly setting forth as if he
were an experienced driver. This;
prevalent custom could be prevent
ed, they say, by forcing the deal
er by law to see that everybody
to whom he sells a car is thor
oughly instructed before he is per- I
mitted to operate it on the public
highways.

HfIRNADY DENOUNCES
AUTO IS ML KILLER
Director of Zoo Says Automobile
Great for Killers, But Hell
For Game
WASHINGTON, September 4.
With the hunting season about to
open, Nature Magazine, of this
city, comes out today with an ,ar
ticle by Dr. William T. Hornady,
director of the New York Zoologi
cal Garden, denouncihg the hunt
er’s use of the automobile. Dr.
Hornady says in his article:
“The automobile is greater for
the killers but it is hell for the
game.”
The famous head of the New
York Zoo points to the auto as the
new exterminator of all wild life
and he calls on the huntsmen to go
slow for they are killing the very
sport they love so well.
The articles in Nature Magazine
is profusely illustrated with pic
tures showing autos loaded with
.game of all kinds. These had
been sent Hornaday from many dif
ferent parts of the country. The
article in part follows:
“In the United States alone there
are now in use 10,500,000 cars. Os
all the family units in our country
48 per cent own automobiles; and
many families have collections of
them. No mental effort is called
for to imagine the effect of these
restless, resistless and all-pervad
ing new facilities for travel in an
nual pursuit of the world’s remain
ing remnants of mammals, birds,
and fresh-water fishes.
“It is my estimate that the au
tomobile has increased the perils of
wild life by 50 per cent; and thus
far I have found no one who has
contended that this figure is above
the mark. It seems that the hunt
er of upland game—grouse, quail,
woodcock, snipe, doves rabbits,
squirrels, and deer— can by means
of his new gasoline ally hunt over
at least four times as much ground
in a day as the man behind a horse
could exploit.
“On the other hand, the differ
ence to the duck hunter is not so
great, and so we think that 50 per
cent is a fair batting average. I
have seen four ruffled grouse hunt
ers in an automobile cover in one
day an area of hunting ground that
to me was fairly astounding.
“Just imagine what the automo
bile will do to the quail of Ohio if
protection is ever taken off Bob
White in that state, as the sports
men will some day demand. It
would be like that slaughter of
chamois in a section of the Swiss
Alps after a long period of pro
tection. Very nearly the entire lot
of half tame and unsuspecting
chamois were destroyed in the first
few days of that precious ‘open
season,; and in that area the species
was almost instantly set back to
the original vanishing point. Be
ware how you take protection from
tame and man-trusting game.
“Wherever there are roads either
good or bad, or open 1 plains over
which automobiles can travel, there
will you find the automobile go
ing ‘hell bent’ after whatever game
is afoot.

of the Food Value
of Your Wakings
f Plain flour has a large amount
? of food value but it must be
combined with good baking
powder in order to retain this
value.
Most self rising flours are not
successful because they do not
and cannot raise the bakings to
the proper lightness. This
means a certain loss of nutri
tion because they are heavy
and hard to digest.
Every time you eat food that
does not properly digest you |
do not get the full nutritional I
value you are over taxing
iyour stomach. Nourishing and
perfect bakings are what good
health demands. The one sure
way is—use pure flour and
good baking powder.
If you want to find what thou
sands of housewives have •
learned—make some biscuits
with self-rising flour —then
make some with good plain
flour and Calumet Baking Pow
der-notice the great difference.
One trial will satisfy you. Your
health demands that you make
the experiment.
Those who know—millions of
housewives, domestic science
teachers,bighotels,restaurants, !
bakeries and railroads will not r
use anything but Calumet, the
Economy Baking Powder. &
■ w* ‘
Play safe —use Calumet and %
plain flour. It is the most eco-
i nomical and satisfactory,
where light, wholesome and
pure foods are desired.
