Bradenburg, general man ager o f the Oregon State Motor association. “ In practically all in stances with the pitchers, they were sent hack to the ‘sticks’ through a lack o f control. Wonderful speed they had, but no control. Now you get the point. Too many auto driv ers have wonderful speed but lack control.” In analyxing the phrase as applied to auto driver, “ Wonderful speed, but no control,” Mr. Bradenburg pointed out that the lack o f control was due to too much speed in most instances. When a car get to a cer tain speed on ordinary traction as found on our highways, it is beyond control, and with our highjsrays crossed by intersections, and vision obscured frequently by turns, there is ever a warning to be issued to the fellow with wonderful speed and too little control. Even on a straight away, a car becomes a hazard beyond a certain speed, as blowouts, or a doten mishaps to the mechanism o f the car will result in a spill that will not only endanger the lives o f the occupants o f the car but o f those in the immediate vicinity o f the unlucky one. Strict attention to the path o f the motor car is another item that re ceives too little attention. Many drivers, traveling at a food rate o f speed have a habit o f looking every where but down the path o f the auto. I f one must look into the eyes o f other occupants o f his auto while talking, he should temper his speed to suit such occasions. I f scenery must he enjoyed, it is incumbent upon the driver to either stop or forego the pleasures o f such attrac tions. A misguided auto at high speed is just as haxardous to the motorist as too much speed with a lack o f control is to the aspiring twirler o f the big leagues. “ Wonderful speed, hut no con trol," is an epitaph that might be written on the stone o f a great num- THERE s i QJUESTION A b o u t it "Star Brand Shoes tt A re Better flsk the Man WhoWears Them How About Ladies?
