sold to members Of the Japanese imperial
household five 1913 Cadillac limousines
the transaction having been made by
the companys Yokohama agents, An
drews & George. These will be the first
American cars to go to the imperial
household. as heretofore the members
have used Italian, French, English and
German makes The sale is, therefore,
rather significant and may be regarded
broadly as a compliment to American in
dustry in general, as well as to the Cadil-
lac product in particular The company's
officials are being congratulated on the
honor won for this country.

Hub Caps as Lubricators.

That the large ornamental hub caps
with which most automobiles are equip
ped have a purpose, aside from serving
as ornamentation, is not known by all
drivers. While these caps add to the
general appearance of a car, they have
also to do with the fabrication of the
wheels, and their utility a reservoir
for grease probably is more the reason
for their use than is the fact of the at
Effectiveness to the eye. When putting a
car in commission, and occasionally, say
every month or two, the interval de-
pending on the amount of use the car is
given. the hub caps should be thoroughly
cleaned out, all the grease and verdigris
removed. after which the caps should be
repacked. 1t also is well to clean out the
hubs and bearings, washing them thor
oughly with gasoline, so that dirt and
grit will he dislodged. When this has
been done, the moving parts should again
be fabricated, the hubs caps put back in
place and the car can be driven without
fear of trouble from improperly lubri-
Gated aXles.

Packing Joints.

In motors with detachable heads be
careful that the gasket used to pack the
joint does not project into the combus

parts are liable to become incandescent
and cause preigniton knocks and per-
haps backfring into the carbureter.

Speed Limits.

~ ufINeI is hot 10 turn q street corner
to the right at a speed to exceed six
miles an hour, and is to keep close to the
right curb. Neither is he to turn to the
left into the sfher of two intersectine
streets by driving around the center of
the intersection at speed exceeding
six miles an hour.
In passing into circle or intersection
of two or more streets in his progress, he
is to follow the right curbs nearest the
building lines, and at a speed not exceed
ing eight miles per hour
The speed law remains the same that
is. twelve miles an hour on any street in
side of the fire limits.
The speed in driving in the parks is the
same as heretofore. fifteen miles an hour.
Beyond the fire limits the speed limit is
twenty miles an hour for motor vehicles.
In passing vehicle going in the same
direction, or meeting one coming in the
opposite direction, the speed limit is
twelve miles an hour.
The speed limit at transfer points and
intersections of street car lines is four
miles per hour
These speed limits will not be affected
by the new police regulation which goes
into effect next month.
Street cars within the District moving
at the lawful rate of speed, have the
right OF way upon their respective tracks
except as to vehicles of the municipal
government and fire department appara-
tus.
A driver shall not stop his vehicle with
its left side to the curb.
While the regulations have provided for
some time past that a citizen had the
right of way at all street crossings, there
is one feature in the new regulation
which will undoubtedly assist materially
in solving the traffic problem and at the
same time lessen the chances for acct
dent and collision.
1t warns pedestrians not to step from
the sidewalk to the roadway without first
looking to see all traffic approaching that
point and shall not needlessly interfere
with the passage of vehicles or street
cars and shall not cross the roadway
diagonally. There is nothing in the regu-
lations, however, relieving the drivers
from their duty of being constantly vigil
liant to avoid injury to person and prop
erty.
Pedestrians are not to walk in the
roadway of a street. except to cross at
street crossing, and are not to stand
in the roadway. Pedestrians are to keep
to the right and are not to stop and
stand in the way so as to obstruct the
free use of a sidewalk or a street cross
ing by others.

industry, while the wage standard figures
out proportionally higher than in other
industries, so that the cry of some po-

~HE new traffic regulations which
were adopted last week by the
District Commissioners, and
which go into effect February
l. have been the chief topic OF
discussion among motorists since the an
nouncement was made, and there Is evil
dence that much good will be derived
from them when they are put into opera
ton Copies of the regulation can be OBJ
tanned at any of the police stations. and
drivers and motorists are advised to OBJ
tain copies of them and become familiar
with new rules and regulations pertain
ing to the movement of traffic.
A most important feature of the regu-
lations is that drivers of vehicles ana
street cars must comply with any ges-
ture or signal of any member of the local
police department, the Capitol police or
park policemen as to stopping or starting
or as to approaching or departing from
any point. The crossing policemen at
street crossings are given authority to
assume alert control of all traffic at such
intersections and keep traffic moving on
these streets around the center of inter-
sections, and when necessary to avoid
sidewalk traffic congestion is to stop We
hicular traffic by raising both hands
above his head, to be followed by waving
traffic to move In large cities like New
York and Philadelphia. the crossing men
are provided with whistles, various blasts
indicating the direction in which traffic is
to move. Under this new ordinance SINH
lar authority is given the local authorities
to adopt the same system.
In order to eliminate unnecessary noise
with warning signals. the law provides
that no person shall use a horn or other
sound signal except to give warning to
drivers Of other vehicles and to pedes
TRANS.
Another regulation which was brought
about because certain motorists failed to
give passengers alighting boarding
street cars the proper protection is that
requiring operators Of motor cars and
drivers of vehicles to not allow his We
hicle to come within fifteen feet of a
street car while it is stopping or starting.
This regulation, however. does not apply
where a driver can and does pass street
car without approaching within twenty
feet of it and with absolute safety to all
persons and without interfering in any
manner with person crossing the road
way.
