TO CURB NOISE MANIAC
HighpoWer Signals Necessary,
But Should Be Limited to
Danger Warning.

A writer in the May issue of Motor
says too little thought in the framing
Of automobile laws has been given to
reduction of noise and prevention of
accidents through the proper regulation
of automobile warning signals
In discussing the problem from a
standpoint of noise, the author declares
that only a small element among motor
lists misuse their signals. Some offend
ers err through thoughtlessness or
carelessness but the majority of those
who make unnecessary noise with their
signals are of the same type as the
joy rider. and like him ought to be
suppressed at every opportunity with
out the great majority of 1aw-abiding
Automobiles being made to suffer for
their sins.
In the past two years there has been
an active campaign in progress to regu-
late the use of automobile warning sig
nails: to legally demand the use OF ade-
quate signals and to restrict the use
of such signals except as warnings OF
danger.
The failure of motorists to use sig
nails in their true function gives wrong
impression to the non-motOring public.
which is largely in the majority. Motor
lists should learn the results of misusing
their warning signals. 1t is equally
necessary that the non-mOtorlsts should
understand that the misuse OF warn
ing signal in no way detracts from the
general benefit of such signal when 1t
is properly used Once this fact is
understood. many of the disturbing con-
ditions that constantly operate to create
antagonism between motorfst and non
motorist would be removed.

Welcoming the Shad.
rom the Philadelphia Press


The shad. best when It is cheapest,
and best among the fifty or SO varie-
ties of food fishes cultivated in Ameri-
can waters. has left Its ocean home to
sport awhile along the rivers, inlets
and bays. Its presence in such places
gladdens the eye of the fisherman who
sights a rare harvest In the silvery
beauties SO justly popular at this sea-
son of the year.
What would be the springtime with
out the succulent shad? The big her
ring-for he belongs to the family
just about the time when the flowers
begin to peep and the birds to sing.
There are three varieties OF the spe-
cles. but 1T would take a whole lot OF
eloquence to persuade a Philadelphia
that any other shad on earth. or for
that matter any fish whatsoever, can
come up to the delicious and tooth
some dainty caught in the Delaware.
The rumor of "planked shad' has
gone far abroad. Folk in foreign lands
have heard the fame of the Delaware
shad-feast for king. Whatever the
royal epicures may have tasted by way
of symptoms living, certainly nothing
ever befell them better than the flavor
of shad when ii hits the palate. The
chronic crouch has CLEAN in his eye
when he orders shad for supper. To
gaze upon 1t, baked and brown, and
get the downright flavor OF 1T. Just
that and nothing more" is to find the
soul in harmony with the whole
springtime chorus.
II is said the shad travels 500 miles
or more during the annual migration.
This fact does not interest one-half so
much as the hope that he will always
travel the same way.

LAUDER LIKES OUR AUTOS.
Scotch Comedian Commends Ameri'

She's daisy" laughed Harry Lauder,
Scotch comedian and singer as he

And yons a vera clever young man
who's driving her: though she's aye that

Mr. Lauder is good judge of motor
ears. and his commentator of the Amer
lean automobile was frank and out

Electrical accessories and conveniences
are carried much further with American
cars than with the cars manufactured

way betrays only a slight Scotch burr"

The simplicity of your motors also at

AUTO GETS ROUGH USE.
Mining Engineer Travels Over co.
900 Miles of Worst Roads.

That some automobiles can stand an
incredible amount OF abuse without
suffering any bad effects is the convic-
ton OF the we'll known mining en-
gineer of jamestown, Cal. c. w. Ayres,
after driving his four-cyclinder car
over 10000 miles Of the worst roads in
California.
Writing Of his interesting expert
ences to a friend in this city Mr..
Ayers says. My business as oil and
mining engineer takes me over the
most unfrequented and roadless por-
lions of the country. and during the
last two and a half years l have given

slush and mud on the low lands and
over snow and ice OF the mountains:
through sand, dust, chuck holes and
intense heat of the desert in the sum-
mer time the car has gone without a
whimper or protest. and In no instance

ENGLISH MOTOR CONTEST
Cars Run for Eight Hours at High
Speed Through London.

1t is interesting to compare the English
mans idea of what a motor car should
stand up under with that of an American.
The American will travel miles to see n
speed contest. He will eagerly read the
newspapers, following from day TO day
the trip of a big tourist run across the
country
OF course. in the past the Englishman
has gotten great deal of pleasure oat
of the racing held at the Brighton track
Recently they have taken up new foIsl
of motor car endurance. which bids fair
to be one of the most popular contests
in England. The Royal Automobile Club
of England recently held what they CAN
"a nonstop. high-speed contest" through
the crowded streets of London. For eight
hours such thoroughfares as
Piccadilly Circus. Regent street. oxford
street and Trafalgar square. and or
We're traversed. The rules of the contest
We're that the car must be kept in high
speed and must not make an Involuntary
stop throughout the run. Can YOU imag-
inc driving a car up and down Broadway
for eight hours on high speed without
stalling the motor? Such a proposition
is what the contestants of this trial were
up against.

TO CONTINUE LONG RUNS.
A. A. A. Plans Big Trans-Continental
Highway Event.

one of the most important announce
ments that have yet come from the eNecu-
tive Offices of the American Automobile
Association is the statement from Man
ager Robert Bruce of the touring bureau.
that the development of all possible
transcontinental highway routes will be
continued this summer in even more
strenuous fashion than last year, when
three new trails across the continent
were surveyed in the Pathfinder 40 of
Indianapolis 13.OOO-mle road survey in
la days. The same identical pathfinder
car that was selected for official path
finding by the A. A. a. and United States
government Office of public roads, and
which originally started from New York
June II, 1912. on fits record trail blazing
trip. will be used this year to survey three
more transcontinental routes for 1913.
The 1913 program calls for supplement
tary data to be gathered on 12,OOO-mile
survey that will dovetail SO closely into
the work already done in the Pathfinder
that six transcontinental highways will
be available for tourists at the end of the
present season. This network of trans
continental routes has been before the
A. A. A. for the last half dozen years and
when completed transcontinental devel-
opment will have reached it's height. The
data will be gathered as in former years
by A. L. Westgard, official A. A. A. rep

WIRE WHEELS POPULAR.
Engineers Hold They Decrease Strain
on Automobile.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 3.-Early in
November a western automobile manu-
factory announced through the columns
of the daily newspapers that they were
then offering to the MISUNDERSTANDING
public regular models of their cars equip
ped with wire wheels.
January l found their factory filled
with orders for wire wheel cars and the
demand has exceeded the supply. Since
the first of the year more than 30 per
cent OF the shipments of their cars have
been wire wheel models.
Prominent engineers in America and
Europe hold that wire wheels decrease
the strain on the car: give greater resll-
ency: lessen tire wear; increase strength
and reduce the weight of the car. Before
adopting wire wheels the automobile
manufacturer in question put this equip
ment to a severe test and found to De
true that it had many advantages over
the wood wheel
In discussing wire wheels. the head OF
the plant says: 1.-THE superiority Of this
type of wheel is due to its construction.
With the wood wheel the road shock Is
received by the spokes of the wheel that
are touching the ground. With the wire
wheel this shock is distributed to more
than sixty common points, as each spoke
receives a portion of the shock.
THE wire wheel suspends the weight of
the car, putting it on the hub and all the
spokes instead of on a column under COM
preston like the wood wheel We have
been very successful with the wire wheels
and have had few complaints. We firmly
believe that in a few years the wire
wheel will predominant in America"

FARM NOT COMPLETE
WITHOUT A MOTOR CYCLE
More Than Pays for Itself Even
When Used Only for Urgent
Trips to Town.

Time was when the farmer was pop
very 10th to progress. but the ancient
superstition has been knocked in the
head SO often In the past ten years that
the modern man OF the soil is known
for what he generally is. alert. wide
awake and up-to-date.
Phe equipment of the modern farm in
cludes the most advanced machinery to
be had. and the progressive farmer is
always on the lookout for the nipple
ment or device that will save him time,
labor or money.
So ii is not surprising to learn that
farmers are accepting the motor cycle
with even more avidity than they ac-
copied the motor car-and more than one
automobile manufacturer counts upon the
farmer TO take the major part of his
output.
The ability Of the motor cycle to cover
the ground quickly and economically
makes it possible for the farmer to send
to town, at any time. for parts Tor
machinery or supplies of any kind. and
have them back at the farm within the
hour. and this is a very important item
in the management of a successful farm
The farmer without a motor cycle must
either keep an extra driving horse Tor
such trips or else he must take one OIL
his horses from work in the field, and
he must figure on losing three or -four
times as many working hours, because
the best horse in the land can't give hin
the speed of fifty or sixty miles an
| hour that is possible with a good motor
cycle.
Some farmers. of course. use thei
| automobiles, but the motor cycle does tn
| work as we'll. and il does ii at cost o
about one-fifth of a cent per mile, run
| ming cost which even the Eghtest moto
car can't equal.

DEEPER AUTO BODIES.
Present Styles Of Women's Garb May

Is the same Dame Fashion who rules

to work revolution in the design Of
motor car bodies Is the Bulgarian

cause lengthening of up-and down
lines in automobile bodies? According
to a letter recently received at the
plant of the Willys-Overland Company
of Toledo. Ohio. makers Of Overland
cars, Nine. Style and her latest Pa
risian creation are about to introduce
some important automobile innovations.
The writer of the letter is a well
known woman motor enthusiast who
prefers to do her own driving rather
than employ chauffeur. and who
chooses open cars rather than ,the
coupe. Part of her letter is as follows:
The Bulgarian blouse bids fair to call
Tor some changes in motor car body de-
sign. Since the advent of this conceit
IN woman's attire there have been COM
plants coming from women who drive
open cars, because of the lack of pro-
lection from the wind. The blouses, you
know, are loose about the bottom. and
the wearer finds the wind set up by the
motion of the machine uncomfortab BILE
Then. too. the full bottom of the blouse
is prone to fly up about the arms and
hands, interfering with the steering.
The best remedy for this situation that
can now is to make the dash and
fore doors of open cars higher and thus
further protect woman drivers from the
wind. This some other expedient will
have to be employed il the Bulgarian
blouse remains in favor, for it is gen.
orally known that the women will de-
mand changes in the cars they drive or
even put up with many discomforts
rather than be out of style. So it seems
to me that the manufacturers will have
to prove their gallantry by providing
deeper bodies in order that woman Gus
toners may drive tashionably clad and
still in comfort.

Light From the Firefly.

From the phiiaueIpnla f'reSS
That an ant can teach a king is on
record, the fact itself precursor of
the many hints which human ingenuity

FOR FEDERAL AID. s..
Post Roads Committee Proposed in

If Congress creates a committee on
post roads another important move will
have been made toward the logical par
ticipation of the national government in

Such action is quite probable in the spe-
cial session now in progress. in the adop-
ton of a resolution introduced by Repre-
sentative r. l.. Henry OF Texas. who. is
chairman of the committee on rules. res
1t will be remembered that following
The first federal aid good roads convention
called by the A. A. A. national good

airy, 1912, there followed as the result OF

that il has accumulated vast amount

tor vehicle would be necessary. some
thing unlike any ordinary ambulance. but
easily constructed. on the lines of GER
tain commercial trucks. After examin-
ing a large number Of trucks have come
To the conclusion that the type used by
the express companies In the cities IL
very near to what is desired. In fact.
some OF these could be used with but
slight alterations, and the addition OF
filters and suspenders."
Capt Duncan describes the truck or
car desired by the army as one that Is
capacious but not very heavy, which
will not need q carrying capacity Of
greater weight than two tons. It should
have thirty-six-inch solid tires. a good
clearance and a powerful but not neces-
sarily speedy engine equipment. On the
chassis should be plain platform about
seat in front. on either side of and
little above the hood. On the sides Of
the platform should be string stanch-
ions with bows for the top, and SIM
pie canvas cover. like wagon cover.
In fact. the whole car should be as SIM
pie as possible.
Such truck he describes. Capt
Duncan says can be used for any sort
of work. All that would be necessary
i'm order to convert it from a supply
carrier to an ambulance would he TO add
ten ordinary filters and forty spiral
spring suspenders, all of the filters sus-
pended from the stanchions by shock
absorbers The entire extra equipment
would weigh less than twenty pounds
TO the patient. The filters would be
placed transversely across the car bed.
The article closes with a tribute to
the army mule:
For all-round use. with all varia-
tons of care and feed, under all condi-
tons of weather and roads, the mule
drawn wagon and ambulance have never
been eGualed: they have at present no
competitors in sight All talk OF rele
eating the army mule to the background
is sheerest nonsense. Motor wagons
may do the work i'm the rear. but when
the cavalry goes forward and the foot
and guns are pushed into the fight
there Will go the army wagon and am
bulance. drawn by the ever-faithful army
mule 1t will be many a year before his
sonorous blast gives way to the discord-
ant honk of a soulless machine. He has
been the savior of the army many times
in the past and his hee-haw will be heard
long in the future. wherever the uniform

Good Time for Prince.

FROM the london Chronicle.
The Prince of Wales might possibly en-
JOY his German trip still better IL he could
view the country in the unconventional
way followed by the German crown prince
and his brothers. Like all the Hohenzol-
lerns. the kaiser's sons were taught
trades. and their father also allowed them
to taste the delights OF the "wanderjahr,"
which still forms part of the education of
most German artisans. In the case of the
young princes the year was split up over
several successive summer holidays,
which they spent tramping through Ger
many. knapsack on back, and sleeping at
roadside inns. They Travelled without a
servant. accompanied only by their mill
tary governor. Col. Won Falkenheyn. and
were scarcely ever recognized
