By todays standards, he should have lowered the car onto blocking rather than
leaving it rest on the jacks alone.  Also there should have been a block of wood on TOP
of the jack to reduce the risk of slippage. 
What he did RIGHT was remove the handle from the jack.

I see something all crushed up between the jack and car frame... it may be leather all folded over, which works as well as wood.

This was a posed photo taken for the manufacturer of the jack.

Posed or not, Duff makes good jacks. I used two to lift one end of a 
car just Friday.  Chuck Peck

Actually, no. It's another of the many photos taken by Jack Delano while on assignment for the OWI documenting the homefront during WW2. It may bot be totally candid, but it's pretty likely that the way it was photographed its the way it was being done.

Notice that the jack is right under a poling pocket  -  another dangerous thing outlawed eventually.   And really, really hard to model!

Steve,

Are you stating that jacking the car under the poling pocket was outlawed or poling was outlawed? If the latter; when, and by what entity?

Thank You,
