MOST motorists seem to have weak left arms, sagging automobile roofs and loose no-draft vents, You don’t believe it? Look around. 2 Ever since I saw a highway yahoo frighten the daylights out of other drivers by ignoring his at oncoming cars in a grabbing motion, the art and habits of steering a vehicle has had a great deal of my attention.

Where Do You Put Yours?

LET'S TAKE. up the proposition that most motorists have weak left arms. All right, where do you keep yours when voy're driving? It rests on the door, doesn’t it? You and an overwhelming majority of other motorists. With the left arm in that position, the average driver has only one arm left with which to guide his automobile. The number of accidents we've been having, however, prompts one to_believe that we don't even use one arm. (For winter driving I'm going to invent a window on the market that will have a blister for elbows.) : This one-arm driving knows no limits. My “survey, “conducted ont. 8." : 52, state roads and heavily traveled city streets, revealed speed, congestion, age and sex of driver, make of automobile B&d no influence on the onearm habit. It's safe to say, three out of five drive with their left arm resting. Of the 1000-odd drivers observed, I did notice men and women who were advanced in years and who drove large expensive automobiles, clutched the wheel with all the power at their command. And this same type of driver, as a rule, barely could see out the windshield and over the hood. Not near as numerous but in this man’s opinion dangerous and aggravating, are the drivers who hold up the roof with their left hands, hang on the vents or just let their arms dangle out the window. You never know whether they're giving a signal, picking up cigaret stubs or merely want to lose an arm. 3 Another cutie is the guy who bear-hugs the steering wheel. You'll find about 35 in a 1000 of these. The position looks relaxing and is appropriate enough for a bar or parlor but hardly practical for a moving automobile... Especially since this type of operator ogles the surrounding scenery. Women have two basic positions while steering an autompbile. 1 was all set to find the weaker

It's interesting to note you won't find many women guiding the old man’s car with one finger. Neither do they steer with their knees and intuition while lighting a favorite mixture of aromatic

half a dozen colored birds along the windshield. As a bachelor, I find nothing wrong with the old practice of driving with one hand when a lovely, lovely lady discovers the atmosphere a hit chilly and slides under your wing. Of course, also being a man of caution, certain conditions must exiat before I condone two people behind the steering wheel. !

In the first place, if a man wants to have an arm around a girl while he's driving, he shouldn't go over 15 miles per hour, he should be driving over the Salt Flats and never attempt a turn over 150 degrees. Dem’s the rules I go by. One of these days I'm going to Denver. Yes, sir, cuddling on the highway is dangerous and I frown upon the practice. That's right, Ma.

WASHINGTON, ‘Aug. 17—Even if you own a cow, you can’t help pitying the oleomargarine makers. They're the gents who battled for 62 years to get the tax taken off yellow margarine. Having grown white haired and bifocaled in their fight with the butter boys, they finally won Eix short-weeks—ago.— They thought the tax was repealed. They held a victory dinner at which they ate yellow, taxfree margarine on their rolls. Paul Truitt, their long-time Washington representative, headed for a vacation in Europe to sample margarine made of whale blubber, Happy day
