MOTORING IN WINTER
By Francis M. Hugo,    Secretarv , State.
The return of the winter brings I home annually to many a motorist the usual precaution for protecting his vehicle when driving. Sometimes it is said that one of the advantages of the mechanical over horse drawn ve- ' hides is that the former is weather proof. To pome extent this is true, bui it ia in driving that lhe winter brings i with it special risks which are by no means insignificant.
Frozen surfaces particularly are pro¬ ductive of much more skidding than is ordinarily realized. No more dangei- oUs condilion exists than when the highway is covered with a light fall of snow which has hilf melted in the day time and been frozen again at night, tfiert'by producing a surface more nearly similar to ice than its appear unce would suggest. When a surface like this has been rolled down by much trarTic, it becomes nothing better than an ordinary ice slide. In this event the greatest care must be taki'n, espe cial'y when Hpiiroachini; downhill grades to keep the car in hand and, if possible, otr the tra<'ks formed by oth¬ er tralhc.

But the motor cars, il' drivers know how to handle their vehicles, need be but little afVecttd us tiie methods for mak ini' a motor car run well throuuh thr snow Ble aiiiiple and inexpensive.

Rockville rolled n averuge of :*'26tt while P'reepoi t rolled an average of 795J. The boys have no txcuse for losing all three games, their failing was OVERCONFIDENf.'K. and for this reason alone, wi re outplayed and oiil- geneialed from the beginning, ("aji- tain -Austin uas delayed by a break¬ down on the way o\er. consenuently he did not enter the lirst game until the fourth frame. Possibly some excuse f ¦ can tie given for lof ing the first gume ' to this mishap.
Several automobile parties jour¬ neyed to the gafnes, about twenty-five or thirty arrived on the S o'clock trol¬ ley. After the games every one was invited to adjourn to the buniiuet room, where a dainty lunch Aias served, ci¬ gars passed to the men folks, stories and jokes were told, songs sung in the music rcom and a jolly good lime was enjoyed by all.
On behalf of the Freeport Cjuh I wish to thank the Rockville Club and its tournament committee for so kind¬ ly making us feel at home in their Club House.
