SAYS MOTORISTS ARE
GETTING MORE CAREFUL
Secretary Elliott of New York Safely
Society Sees Campaign
Results. ~.

Secretary Frederick H. Elliott of the
So fety First Society of New York, who
is making a tour of the eastern and
middle western states with the socie-
tvs safety first car in the interest
Of the widespread movement to make
the highways safer. declares that mo-
torists as class are becoming more
careful.
Il am firmly convinced that since the
SAFETY first propaganda was started in
a number of cities recently the cam
paign is accomplishing to large de-
gree that which it set out to do. In
my trip during the past two weeks 1
have noticed that many drivers on the
road and open country of the suburbs
as well as in the cities as a class are
considerably more careful in passing
vehicles and slowing down for turns,
etI. than was the case few years
ago.
Many of US can remember the time
when a man who had just purchased
a new automobile deemed it quite nee
essary to go out and pass everything
on the road, skidding around turns,
cutting corners. now and then scraping
mud guards with another car Nova
days, however, since the agitation Tor
greater safety has been in progress,
the owner of vehicle in the ma
jority of cases considers it bad form
to do stunts on the road.
Slowing Down on Some Roads.
81 have observed many motorists TAX
ing pains to slow down on especially
oily roads or roads that have just been
watered. in order not to splash pedes-
TRANS on the sidewalk. a thing that
was 4 very disagreeable abuse few
Pyears ago.
Another thing l have noticed is that
in many suburban places drivers slow
down on dusty roads in order not to
kick up more dust than is necessary,
particularly when women in white
clothes are walking on the sidewalks.
The arrogant spirit of the motorist
who used to consider himself some
thing superior is disappearing. And
let me say that a number of automo-
bile dealers with whom / have talked
recently agree with me and tell me
that their observations are the same as
mine.
Society lays down certain rules of
etiquette which right-thinking people
observe. and happily these very points
OF etiquette. as far as the motor car is
concerned, are making for greater
safety on the highways. For instance,
it is considered bad form and just as
impolite to pass a car on dusty road
on high speed with the muff1er cut-out
open so that the occupants of the over
ken car are showered with dust, as
il would be to smoke in a street car
and ding cigar ashes about on passen-
gers clothing.

AUTOS IMPROVE ROADS,
DECLARES CAR BUILDER
H. H. Pinney Points to Revenues
Obtained From Owners and the
Consequent Pike Betterments.

The big part played by the motor car
in developing the roads of the country
is apparent from a recent bulletin from
the United States Department of Agri-
culture
IF any one has doubted the benefi-
cent effect of the automobile on the
roads of the nation, he has only to
study this report" says H. H. Pinney,
vice president of the Chalmers Motor
Company.
For instance, the 1913 contribution
of the motor car to good roads was
$7,s20,s95. This was by direct taxation
on cars. In Michigan. over one-half the
entire state expenditure for better
roads came from the motorists. Ala
bama automobile revenues were over
half the state investment in good
roads In Delaware they were so per
cent. In Illinois about 60 per cent.
Nearly half the states did notable road
ing fund for 1914 on what the motor
lists paid
The government report shows that
1913 expenditure for better roads is
great as in 1904. This wonderfully in
creased interest in better roads is
plainly attributable to the widespread
use of motor cars. The government
tween the use of motor cars and road
improvement.
Motors Stand for Good Roads.
New York. for example, is the only
state deriving over a million dollars
revenue from motor cars-and 21.5 per
cent of all New York roads are i'm
proved. New Jersey has 30.3 per cent
Of all roads improved and stands high
in automobile revenues-$636,543 West
ern states do not rank quite as high,
but their good roads work increases in
direct ratio to the increased use Of
motor cars.
And this promotion of better roads
which follows the motor car Is by no
means selfish. At a recent convention
of the American good roads congress
Hugh Chalmers made the point that
good farms and good towns are usual
ly on good roads. The two seem to go
together. And the reason is that good
roads SO greatly reduce the cost of
hauling that the greater building up
of the territory and better profits from
farming are natural results.
1T has taken the motor car to stimu-
late interest in good roads in this
country. The United States is a peace
slow to recognize the economic neces-
sity' of good roads. The warning ma
tions almost invariably have good
roads, at least between all principal
centers of. population That is becaGse
good roads are necessary to the rapid
handling Of troops.
Need of Better Roads.
'"It has taken long time to find an
agent. of peace which was effective in
showing the need of better roads. But
the motor car has, accomplished that
purpose as is evident from the Depart
ment of Agriculture bulletin showing
the vast increase in good road work in
this country since 1904. the time when
automobiles began to stand high in
public favor.
Experts in transportation and road
building are agreed that good roads
work will increase steadily each year,
along with the wider use of motor
cars. In fact, the Department of Agri-
culture estimates 10 per cent increase
in expenditures for good roads in 1914,
based. 4 believe, largely on the wider
use of automobiles.

Business Is Improving.

Taking the country as a whole, retail
business in motor cars is generally i'm
proving. The added business from the
grain belts has caused considerable of
a boom in the middle west and west.

Don't Blame Spark Plug.

There is no reason why a spark plug

AUTOMOBILE BEATS
SOUTH AFRICAN MAIL
Roadster Goes Over Same Route as
Natal Train, Finishing Both
Legs Hours Ahead. -

An overland roadster recently per-
formed the feat of beating the fast
Natal mail train on the long trip from
johannesburg to Durham, according to
dIspat tches received at the WHY'S
overland Company from their South
African distributors. Despite the hard
going encountered throughout the run,
the car succeeded in bettering the time
OF the train by eight hours and thirty
minutes, on the round trip of $40
miles.
The trial. which was the first authen-
tic run over the long course, created a
lasting impression among South Afri-
can motorists, the majority Of whom
declared that it could not be accom-
plished owing to the terrific road con-
d;tions. Public magistrates acted as
official timers for the event.
A large crowd saw the sturdy little
Overland and the big mail train leave
Johannesburg station at o'clock on a
Saturday evening. The car reached
Durham. the end of the first lap. at 1885
o'clock on the following afternoon five
hours ahead of the train, after max
ing stops at all points where the train
was scheduled to stop to take on mail
or change engines.
Wins by Three Hours.
At $50 on the same day the auto
mobile and the train left simultan-
eously for the return trip. The motor
lists reached johannesburg at $3.50
pm. Monday, three hours ahead Of the
train, which made both trips on sched-
uled time.
The distance is equivalent to trip
from New York to Louisville, KY,
which would not be considered partfcu-
larly noteworthy in the United States,
where automobiles are in general use
and roads, for the most part, are in ex-
cellent shape. But those who realize
the extreme conditions encountered in
South Africa declare that the time re-
corded is remarkable. The roads are
rough and sandy. in places becoming
merely bush tracks. This in itself dis
courages long distance automobile
runs.
In addition, the Overland was delay
ed by 104 gates marking the bounda-
ries of the large African ranches. The
driver was forced to bring the car to
dead stop, dismount, drive through,
then stop and close the gate before
starting on his way. The only involun-
tary stop was caused by a puncture on
famous Majuba hill.
Great Test of Skill.
Ihe run is cOnSldered great test OIL
skill and endurance on the part of the
driver, who handled the wheel from
start to finish throughout the round
trip. From 4 o'clock Saturday after
noon until $40 Monday afternoon he
was without sleep. having only short
rest of FIVE hours during the two days.
The passenger who accompanied him
was unable to handle a motor car.
The car used is a roadster, of stand
ard construction with mudguards.
