WHITE GLOVES FOR MOTORISTS.

Mr. Stenson Cooke, the Secretary of the Automobile Asso- ciation, has asked me to appeal to drivers of motor-cars to wear a white glove on the right hand, especially in fading or uncer- tain lights. We all acclaim the white glove worn by the policeman on point duty ; it is much too good an idea to be confined to the police officer and the road patrol. It should be worn by every car driver, 'bus driver, lorry driver and motor- cyclist for the benefit and safety of other road users. And when, in the tricky evening half-light, you are able to ease up behind the ear ahead, instead of grinding brakes—because the thoughtful wearer of a white glove has signalled warning clear and timely—you will appreciate it with all the more content knowing that your white glove is ready too.
