SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 28 THE ; SUN 15 AY •■MOi; OR.IS.T ■Uln-SAbridycd C.iaqazinejoy- Car Oivnars .. It’s queer how many tourists will take such pains to include so much in their traveling equipment ajid then make the mistake o£ leaving their commonsense back home. STEADY DRIVING BEST. Good time in touring is more a matter of few delays rather than speed. The man who is constantly pass ing others and always stepping on the gas invariably takes more time in the long run for the trip because he stops more frequently, some times to change a tire that has been injured through speed, some times to give the engine certain at tention which it needs when it is being run at top speed. The motorist who drives consist ently and constantly, on the other hand, usually gets to his destina tion first, and without trouble. This is because he knows how important it is not to “wait a minute’’ when a high average mileage per hour is desired. He attempts to attend to every thing before he starts. He knowfc that if he is averaging 25 miles an hour, and it becomes necessary to wait by the roadside just two min utes the average is cut down to 24.18. Even if he waited but two minutes it must also be considered that some time is consumed at less than the 25 mile per hour average, due to slowing and going through the gears in starting off. Steady driving offers the best op portunity for good time. Figure it out the next time you make a half a dozen stops en route. If you ordi narily drive 30 miles per hour over a state highway and you stop a to tal of ten minutes, you have lost the time it takes to travel five miles, THE OLD MECHANIC SAYS. That’s the third time today I've had owners criticise me for put ting more things out of whack than I fixed. Try to tell ’em the truth about the matty, but guess it’s a mechanic’s misfortune to have to stand this sort of thing and see motorists go wrong because they won’t be reasonable. You know how it is yourself. You’ve got a notion that if you bring the car in for a valve grindin’ Job we'll put the carburetor out of commission, or finish up by maltin' you buy a new vacuum tank. You never seem to figure that even if you didn’t bring in the car you’d have these troubles anyway. When a car comes into this shop we naturally discover all the things that are goin’ wrong as well as all the things that have already pass ed the possibility stage. The car owner thinks we wish the trouble on him through our carelessness, —^lhe^ — SouthcaslernFalr ATLANTA October 4 to 11,1024 Featured by tbe greatest Agricultural, Indus trial and Educational Exhibit ever shown in the South, including the National Hog and Cattle Show, and enlivened by the most wonderful Amusement Program for the entertainment of visitors.

Something of Interest Doing Every Day. REDUCED RATES ON ALL RAILROADS The Southeastern Fair Association OSCAR MILLS, ' R. M. STRIPLIN, President. Secretary. whereas the truth is we save him a lot of serious trouble by catchin' these things in the makln’. ?There isn’t any car but what could stand a little tunin’ up here and there even when its owner thinks it's runnin’ first rate, and when there is something so wrong with it that he has to bring it to the shop it stands to reason that the repairer's goin' to find a lot of things to attend to. But if the re pairer is honest with himself and attends to everything as he should he's sure to be suspected of havin’ "manufactured’’ some trouble. * The more motorists feed fuel to this fool notion the worse the mat ter grows, because dozens of chaps around here are lteepin’ their cars out of the shop when there's all kinds of trouble under the hood. Keep a car out of a shop for a long time and a repairer's goin' to find a lot of extra stuff to attend to—and then get blamed for it! TRIO OF SUGGESTIONS. When in “low” or “second' keep the engine pulling the car and do not allow the car to "run” the en gine any more than is absolutely necessary, except in descending steep hills. When the engine pulls part of the time and the car pushes the rest there is wear on both sides of each gear tooth as well as a strain caused by the switch from one side of each gear tooth to the other. This encourages excessive gear wear and noise. If forced to run into another car or object try, if possible, to hit with the center of your front bumper. The bumper has more "spring” at this point than at any other, which is the same as saying that when struck r.t this point it is a more efficient guard. If you want .to ride with the rain curtains up, yet need an extra amount of ventilation as on a hot day, attach them so that the sec ond one from the front overlaps the first and the third overlaps the second. Plenty of air will come in through the openings without let ting in the rain, unless one is driv ing in a downpour. In the cus tomary way of attaching the cur tains the overlapping points become airtight as the car travels faster. DID YOU KNOW— That if the motometer registers lower than usual on a hot day the radiator needs water? A motorme ter will not register so high w'hen the water is not so near it, though it will promptly register danger if the water fals to too low a level. An unusually low' motometer reading, therefore, may be an advance warn ing worth noting. That you like your old car, not beacuse of its virtues, but because you are used to it? Hike an old shoe it fits in with your way of do ing things. Keep in mind that the reason why many a new car does not appeal so strongly is simply because you aro not accustom to it. THREE SMILES MORE. A largo city newspaper runs a column of new s and events in local motordom. Recently a stray line intended as a guide to those who make up the columns was allowed to remain in the finished product and local motorists got a smile out of reading the day’s publicity sto ries under the sub-heading "Bull Auto New's and Events.” Presumably in an effort to give a little more class to the more com mon terms in use throughout mo tordom a youthful auto salesman insists pon referring to the Bendix drive as the Benedicks drive. He takes lunch with the fellows who sell "coups” and “seedans.” The fellow who invented those motometer caps that won’t come off again unutll the car is turned upside down ought to make a for tune applying his idea to general merchandising in order to save money at the return desk. MOTORING OVER THERE. According to motorists who have been touring recently in England and France conditions are often most interesting—and perhaps helpful—to the American. In Eng land everything is bought, or built, with thd idea of keeping for a long, long time. The paper towel idea is a long way from being applied to the buying of cars. Great courtesy is shown to motorists in England, the Englis automobile clubs, for instance, having hundreds of rep resentatives on the road for the convenience of tourists. The high hedges along tho British highways obstruct many a view, but frequent ly the tours lead through what ap pear to be private estates. Gates are opened to let you in and closed behind you. In Paris it is still a case of honk honk. Our effective electric warn ing signals are not permitted. The honking is really more of a nui sance since drivers must keep ever lastingly at it to get results. Par isian cars, however, do not smoke the way they do over here. That, of course, is Just another evidence of French thrift. Americans please copy. TWO PARKING POINTERS. Contrary to many a driver’s ex perience it is easier to park a car on a hill than on the level—if you know On a hill it is not nec essary to shift from low to reverse, or vice versa for the forward and backing movements. The car will coast in one direction, depending upon the hill. It will be necessary to use the brakes, but then that is necessary in most parking any wa y. "No parking" signs are frequent ly used to mark the boundaries of forbidden ground. It may be quite all right to leave your car a foot from such a sign if you aro on the safe side. Don’t take a “No park ing”’ sign too literally until you learn what it really means. THREE TRAFFIC TRICKS. When running near the curb keep a constant distance away from it as a precaution against "squeez ing” a bicyclist who may be fol THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. lowing the curb line. It seems to be their favorite course. In many cities the mere swing ing of the traffic sign does not do more than warn of a change in the direction of traffic. Drivers are supposed to act upon the officer's subsequent whistle. Sometimes both acts are simultaneous, leading tho motorist to forget the function of tho whistle. If the engine stalls and you try to crank it amid tho din of passing street cars and other noisy traffic learn to look to the ammeter and oil pressure gauge for your cluo as to whether you have succeeded. With the geared flywheel type of starter trouble is certain to follow your act of using the starter when the engine is actually running, Tho dashboard instruments can save you this worry. MORE TRUTH THAN GAS. British motorists still insist upon spelling tyre with a "y,” but just why is not clear, for in modern cords the guess has been pretty well eliminated. Evil to him who evil drives. Plugging the ears with cotton would be a far cheaper way of si lencing knocks. Results guaran teed. Hope springs eternal, and be cause of this most car owners seem to hope springs will last eter nally without grease. It's the deafening grind of wheels in the head that keep some drivers from hearing the train coming. In a booklet sent out to motor ists an accessory manufacturer says, “Remember, your battery’s always thirsty.” Apparently it isn't necessary to be reminded about the thirst of tho gas tank.

SALONiGA JEWS Prefer Saturday as Day of Rest SALONICA.—Tho Greek press Is publishing sharp comments on the action of tho Salonica Jews, who number about 80,000, in having made an appeal to their co-relig ionists in America and other west ern countries for the reinstatement of Saturday as their day of rest. At the urgings of a press cam paign at Athens, Premier Papan astasiu had a bill offered to the chamber decreeing uniformity of observance of the day of rest as Sunday. For centuries the Jews of Snlonica had been observing Saturday as their day of rest. Under the new law the right to this historic observance, which had been recognized under the Tur kish domination, was denied to tho Israelitio community. The Jews complained to their co-religion ists abroad and a movement was put under way to appeal to the Teague of Nations for the re-es tablishment of their ancient right under the minorities rtile of the league. The Greek press is denouncing this alleged iterference with the sovereign rights of the Greek na tion. SYNTHETIC GOLD Colors New Popular Songs In Germany BERLIN. —Gold and Silver, nor love,, nor the moon,is the popular song topic here Just now since Professor Adolph Mlethe announc ed the secret of creating synthetic gold by dissolving an atom of quick silver, "Gold Dreams,” "The Hunger for Gold,” "Golden Gal lops,” and various other songs having reference to the precious metal are heard on the radio, in the cabarets and everywhere slnco the scientist made the subject popular.

Carpenter, Augusta's lead ing colored business man, has been elected president of tho Georgia Mutual Insurance Company, suc ceeding Dr, George N. Stoney. He was also made treasurer of tho company. The selection of Carpen ter was a happy one for the com pany. A successful business man, he has by close application to busi ness demonstrated the ability of colored men to successfully build up and direct his business. I con gratulate the Georgia Mutual upon the wisdom of Its selection, and pre dict for It greater strides under the .master touch of this negro busi ness genius. James M. Pugh and family have returned from New York City, where they spent several weeks visiting relatives and friends. Paine College opened Its full term last week with an enrollment said to exceed that of last year, and the outlook Is for a successful year’s work. An auxiliary, with Madame Elisa beth Gardner as president, has been organized to work for the Walker Baptist Institute. This Is a praiseworthy work that should command the hearty support of all our people. Now that the colored Y. M. C. A. Is to have a trained, full time sec retary, tho whole situation will he changed, and within a reasonable length of time a new building will go up, providing ample accommo dation and recreation for the hun dreds of young colored m«n of Au gusta. Dr. T. W. Josey motored to Co lumbia on a flying business trip last Tuesday. The enrollment, of the colored public schools of the city Is about tho same as at the opening last year. As far as I have been able to secure them tho schools have enrolled as follows: First ward, 345; Second ward, 295; Gwinnett, 737; Weed Academy, 312; Jerusa lem school, not known. This Is a new school. Just established, In tho Jerusalem Baptist church, on up on upper Jones street, with Princi pal Bell Frasier in charge and Teacher Hattie Adams Cook as as sistant. The principal, when asked for the enrollment of this school, informed he that she had been In structed by the superintendent not to give out that Information. I visited this school at Its recess and counted C 2 children at play. There miv have been more children In the building. There are approximately 3.000 colored children enrolled, all the old sehoola being overcrowded. COOKS MEALS On Exhaust Manifold While Crossing Continent In Nash Car Roasting a choice leg of iamb on tho exhaust manifold of their au tomobile or frying a juicy steak for the evening meal while the car was on the fly in the course of a trans continental tour, are experiences enjoyed by Miss Mabel McClelland Snyder and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Plymouth W. Snyder, of Hal lldaysburg, Pa. Miss Snyder and her parents, in their Nash Six tour ing car, passed through Kenosha, Wls., last week, their speedmotor registering 10,106 miles for the tour thus far and having still better than 1,000 miles to travel before "Old Faithful,” as they call her. is back homo again in its own garage. The Snyder car is equipped with preatically every conceivable con venience for long-distance touring. Tho cooker, under the Jrood on the exhaust manifold, has four metal containers, so that while a ham or beef is roasting, potatoes and other vegetables are undergoing a similar process. On the opposite side of the hood a refrigerator assures a con stout supply of fresh milk, tomatoes, fruits and other edibles. The equipment of the car includes also a radio set containers for fresh drinking water, an auxiliary guso-' line tank and a large trunk on the rear in which aro stored clothing and a complete camping outfit, in cluding tent, table, folding chairs, table linen, plates and table silver. Tho Snyder family left their homo in Hallidaysbmg May 28 and drove leisurely to the west coast visit ing .San Francisco, Los Angeles and making many side trips in Lower California to Mexico. Driving northward they went into western Canada, and while in Vancouver they mot C. W. Nash, president of Nash Motors, who happened to bo passing through there on business "We are now on our way home,” explained Miss Snyder in Kenosha, "but we are first going to visit New York City, so when completed, the tour, including our numerous side trips, will have be<>n over 11,- 000 miles. Although loaded down with over 325 pounds of luggage the Nash car has taken us over the thousands of miles wilth absolutely no trouble of any description and before starting on tho trip wo had driven tho car two years. The drive has been so comfortable that I really would like to start right hack toward tho west coast today and make the trip ail over again.” ARMY OF FLIES Deals Death to Grasshop pers in Montana HELENA, Mont—Sacrophagid or felsh-fly armies, now invading Montana grain fields are killing grasshoppers with such rapidity that within a short tlma the insect pests will he virtually exterminat ed, according to entomologists of the State Agricultural college at Bozeman. Tho flesh-fly Invasion, coming at the height of the state wide grasshopper poisoning cam paign, has accounted for millions of "hoppers”, the college experts report. Swarming over tho fields the flesh-flies strike the grasshoppors either in flight or on the stems of tho grain, killing tho hopper by de positing living maggots in one of the vulnerable places on the hop per’s shield. The maggot immedi ately Intrenches in the fatty tissues eating into the vital organs nnd causing a slow death. The Sar cophagi! fly multiplies rapidly having from three to five life cycles a year while the grasshop per produces but one new gen eration each year. It la a safe estimate that the pres ent number will be Increaaed by at least 20 per cent by October 1.
