"Why should I move?" Is tho at titude. Tlicro Is nothing moro exas perating to a driver than this and not only to tho man or woman driving, but to any fair-minded person on the street. Kucli bravado and what a rlilldl-h attitude for the ono who walks! "Hun over me If oti dare, but 1 won't move," IHAVK often wondered, after hold ing my breath madly while Mand lug In luck of tlio foolhardy ono who refuses to move, just what tho Idea Is. is tlicro ictentmcnt that t.omo must rldo and some must walk and there fore this way of showing disapproval? TTOW foolish. It' is very likely tho man In his automobile worked very hard to save tho money to buy It. It is always well for us to re member theso thlmrs when wo aro in clined to bo a little bitter at tho pros perlty of thoso who rldo wlillo wo walk. Automobiles do not grow on trees.' And neither does much other good' 'fortune. Prosperity, on tho whole. Is really another namo for rolling up your sleeves and getting down to hard work. Half of tlmse who aro riding, any way, aro apt to bo thoso who arc walking wl.-n wo' aro tho fortunnto ones skimming along. So thero w-o tire. Wo ennnot all take our luxury at onco or In fact our constitutionals or tho trafllc would get alt out of kcltcr. LOOKING calmly and judiciously on tho rights of others, thoso who have nutomobllcs and thoso who liavo not, saves temper nnd trouble This applies to all phases of our dally con-, tnct with each other. We all liavo In terests in life. Many of them ns much at cross-purposes as tho pedes trian and tho automobile who both think they liavo the right to tho wholo road. Thero is room for every thing and everybody if a man only remembers llfo Is not a solflsh gamo, but ono that must bo played with consideration. END OF WAR CUTS MOTOR SHIPMENTS More Passenger Cars nnd Fewer Trucks Will Be Ex '. ported to Europe i Ivew York, Marqh 12. That a radical change may bo expected In tho exporta tion of passenger cars nnd trucks with tho ending of tho war Is the view of tho National Automobile Chamber of Com merce. During tho war, it Is pointed out, yearly exports of cars moro than doubled over the pre-war shipments, due to the Inability oC Kuropean makers to meet export demands, A much moro pronounced effect, however, was notice able In motortruck exports, which nvcr aged 13,300, per year, with an average value of 142,600,000, as against 888, valued at J1.4C0.000 for tho fiscal year ended June 30, 1914. As tho military demands of Kuropo greatly Increased the truck shipments, It Is now anticipated that there will b a drop th'at will bring truck shipments near their former proportion to passenger-car exports. A report of motor vehicle exports to nil countries during 1918 shows thnt 10,308 trucks, valued nt 126,814,952, and 36,936 passenger nutomobllcs, valued at $36,278,292, were shipped abroad last year. In the fiscal ear ended June 30, 1914, the last twelve months' period be fore the war, we exported only 784 trucks, worth $1, 181. 611, and 28.306 passenger automobiles, worth $2G,392, 963. Analysis of the exports in 1918, ns compared with 1914, knows that while the exports of passenger cars to Eng land, France, Germany, "Hussla and Brit Ish South Africa decreased notably, ami Increased only slightly In Australia, They doubled to Canada, Increased twenty-elght-fold to Japan, twelve-foldl to Mexico, nearly nine-fold to Chile and Spain, six-fold to Cuba nnd China, moro than seven-fold to Uruguay, more than quadrupled to the Dutch East Indies nnd almost doubled to Argentina, Of the- truck exports last year, on the other hand, moro than half of the 10,308 went to England and Franco alone, -while In 1914 less than one-third of the 784 shipped abroad went to these two.

"Rave on," said I "Does this go with ears for Instance?" "Oh yes." said she. "Your car Is ery long and green and It lias a chauffeur and a footman." I don't know whether she meant that 1 was long and green or not, but I know that if there are any "long greens" about. I'd be glad to see them. I like that being called a Illy, for had she Just aid that I was yellowish, I might have been peeved. It's wonderful how the cars are plan ned to match their owners as to color It's the latest thing with dressmakers and milliners to suit gowns and hals and cars. There's a woman in town whose grey hair Is the envy of many It's simply wonderful. And do you Itnow her whole car Is grey, light grey enamel and sliver trimmings ; even the flower vase In a silver holder. The whole effect. Is superb. The veils the women are wearing this year have wide striped borders of self color, and it seems to me that green as usual predominate. t wonder why, for though the -effect Is wonderful as the car skims by, it's any thing but wonderful against the skin of most women, don't you think? I saw a great efTept yesterday. Jlrs. F. was riding fn her tan colored limousine, which is lined with a lighter shade of tan. She wore a brown top coat with nutria collar and cuffs and a tiny brown straw toque trimmed with a coffee colored rose, while a brown figured V,ell kept her dark hair smooth.

It was this way: Margaret und Besf. Ie decided that they had been out enough with tho chauffeur to know how to run the car themselves. So, armed with long linen dusters, blue hats and much-automobile gloves, they started forth, 'The Bun was shining overhead," 3Iarga,ret explained to me. I did not ask if she expected it to shine under foot, but her remark was furOier ex plained by the fact that che did not, therefore, expect the streets to be wet, nd s6 when a Walnut street car came Twtnty-flrstward how was she to lenow that the brake would not 'work? Well. In a.few words, it didn't, and, bump, bang Into the 'car, so hard went said auto that the woman who had Just entered tho trolley and handed out her five cents to the conductor sat promptly down on the floor of the. car. Of course, thero fwas much conductor, motor-man and traffto cop. And Bessie, of course, decided' to defend Margaret. "The cun svaa shining overhead," Bhe declared Vigorously and distinctly and was not to be gainsaid tl'.l the majesty of the law told her to keep quiet Well, after much conversation they Protect Vour Tires When placing extra tires on Hie lire rack, it Is a good plan to h.ivo the locking rings on the rims face toward the front of the car.
