RIGHT-TURN SIGNAL.

A common fault with many drivers is the way they give signals when desiring to turn to the right. Instead of extending the right arm straight out, some motorists crook the arm in a “stop” signal, while others, to attract attention, waggle the hand up and down, leaving the driver behind them in a quandry. The right-turn signal, properly given, is discernible by all, and no “hand flapping” Is ever necessary. NOTES. Light oil containing 33 per cent, petrol is reported to have been discovered in Brunei, British Borneo. A company had persistently searched for oil in that district, but previously had discovered only heavy oil in shallow wells. A reduction of 2,000,000 In total passenger car registrations from 1929 to 1932 is recorded in the United States of America. In England and Wales the installation of traffic light signals has up to the present released 553 constables from traffic duty. An entirely new line in car salesmanship has been adopted by a London concern. The idea is that the prospective purchaser shall have the services of two demonstrators—one lor his own car and one for the new model he is trying. He can change over and drive whichever he likes as often as he desires and is thus able to form a comparison between his old car and the new model.
