Someone will try to turn from a wrong position, and and in a few seconds the whole line of cars is thrown out of kilter for blocks. Or a pedestrian will dart out in front of a car so the driver has to slam on his brakes, and one after another the cars behind have to do the same thing. Then there is apt to be a great blowing of horns that only adds to the confusion. But when we become part of that traffic our whole viewpoint changes.

At the hearings Saturday in the executive chamber crowded with spectators, C. C. Sutherland, assistant suiierintendent of purchase of the' state highway department, again the principal witness after having stand. Bowen asked Sutherland to explain what he said were highway records showing that more cement was bought from the National Cement company than its contract called for. Sutherland said in reply to ques tioning that he knew of no other in stances in which cement companies 'hga furnished more than their con tracts cu^d“for and gave a negative answer when asked if he knew of ‘The practice of giving benefits to| private parties.” * When Bowen insisted that Suther land explain “variations” in the ce ment prices, Sutherland retorted, “read the contract.” Most of Sutherland’s other testi mony corroborated that of Charles II. Moorefield, former state highway engineer, given Friday. I When D. W. Robinson of Columbia, ■ a niember of commission counsel, ask- i "ed Sutherland if Bowen and W. M.! Smoak of Aiken, his colleague, had, not been purcha.sing agent and man-i ager, respectively, during the military road regime, the governor sustained an objection by Bowen. He ^sserted he would admit no testimony on events after October 28 and told Robinson he could not “keep on asking these questions.” * FOR THE NEW YEAU Ledgers CHRONICLE PUB.' CO. look Into other people’s minds ... the driver who makes a sudden turn, or the pedestrian . who decides to do something we can’t fore see. Th^lnteresting thing is that what pedes trians do may seeni strange and illogical to Us while we're driving; but we’re all leading double lives . .. sometimes 'drivers, sometimes pedestrians . . . and it’s funny how our psychology changes when we change from one to the other. Anyhow, things can happen all-of-a- sudden in our crowded cities and we have to be ready for them. And so, as one driver has said, we have to drive along with every ^ intersection, every alley, every-car der suspicion. We all litce to think it was the other fellow’s fault when we get into trouble. But, as we have been reminded, jf.we’re sufficiently alert we don’t let the other^-fellow’s mistake get us into trouble. Expert drivers tell us there is Just one thing to do ... to give omselves a margin of safety ... a re serve of space and a reserve of time. It’s an easy matter to take a reserve of space. They point out that we don’t have to drive right up almost bumper-to-bumper,with the. car ahead. If we do, the chances are we* can't stop as quickly as- we may need to ... if he suddenly stops, slows up, -or makes-a-Aum.^ But if we drop4>aek-sh BtUe> and take a little extra room, we won’t have to worry about “stopping on a dime” or turning out at right angles to avoid bumping. And we won’t pick up such a fine collection of nicked fenders and bent bumpers, either. But a reasonable Interval of space, or even clear sailing, for that matter, won’t do us much good if we don’t keep a time margin of safety too. In other words, we don't want^to go so fast that We won’t have time to do what we may have to do. All-of-a-sudden a car may dash out gt a side street, and we want to be sure we can keep our car and that car from being in the same place at the same time. And we don’t want to have to stop so fast that cars behind us pile into each other for perhaps a block back. Now just as we need a safety margin ahead, we.also need to protect ourselves from' behind. For instance, many drivers tell us that virhen they want to turn or stop, they make it a rule to start at least two blocks beforehand, get ting into the right-l)Osftion. I^ jsomebody behind sees them gradually working o\’-r to the right, for eiiample, why, he naturaHy figures that they’re either going to turn or stop. So he -'ives them a wide berth, to keep out of trouble. \ ‘e may, all know these things, but we, know them so v.’ell we’re apt to get careless about them. Because • vve can drive almost automatically, and hardly have to even think about, iti' we’re apt to go rolling along thinking of something e'..ie. Then, all at once our eyes have an important message for our brain, and V. Bley try tu get the message through^ the H»e is busy! t r- So it doesn’t pay to let our thoughts go wool-gathering.
