DATA SHOW MOTOR
VEHICLES SAFEST
Cause Fewer Accidents Than
Horse-Drawn, According to
Official Statistics.

THE automobile is the safest vehicle
that travels our highways today" de-
clares a prominent motor car manu-
facturer. Automobiles today are so
perfectly controlled that they are even
safer to the public than the old fam
lily horse. which is apt to run away
at any time.
Some excited people declare that the
automobile is 4 menace to the life and
limb of the nation Other pessimists
assume that swift-moving vehicles, pro-
PEELED by gasolene and driven Oy blood
thirsty villains. are killing and maim-
ing people on a wholesale scale. These
people have never looked up the facts.
To proye that such statements are
the direct opposite OF the truth. here
are some figures that show that in Chi
cago. the second city in the United
States, automobiles cause less than one
half as many accidents as horse-drawn
vehicles in proportion to the number
in use and the miles travelled These
figures. l believe. are representative
for they come from the coroner of Cook
county. They are compiled on an Of
ficial and strictly impartial basis.
Here are the official records Of &C.
cidents OF the city Of Chicago and sur
rounding villages for four years: Total
accidents. 1910 to l9lf-Horse-drawn
vehicles, 6.07; power vehicles. C.OiT. Ac-
cidents per five billion miles--Horse-
drawn vehicles. 28.55; power vehicles,
l2.6. Accidents per day-Horse-drawn
vehicles, 4.15: power vehicles. 296.
THE records from which these figures
were taken showed that there were
65.llS horse vehicles with an average of
twelve miles per day. and 81. .4OS power
vehicles with an average daily run Of
forty-two miles
The prevailing attitude of many
against automobiles and the insistant
demand for restrictive legislation are
undoubtedly based on the lack OF
knowledge of the facts.
LAS a matter Of fact these figures
and others from New York and Lon
don prove beyond doubt that motor
vehicles are the least dangerous form
of highway traffic.
For these reasons special efforts
should be made by all owners and
operators Of such vehicles to be as
careful as possible at all times and in
all places.
ALSO. we should see that these facts
and figures are presented in their true
light to our legislatures, State and local
come prejudiced."

MANY OWNERS KNOW
LITTLE ABOUT CARS
One Tries to Tighten Rim Nut
Without Applying Brake to
Wheel.

A man who has driven automobiles
for years cited the following example
to show how little the average man
knows about his car. 1t will likely in
tereSt many OWNERS.
Only few days ago a man who
has owned a car for more than ten
months. was seen trying to tighten the
nuts which hold a demountable rim in
place, while the wheel was free. 1t
looked ridiculous to see him trying to
tighten nut and then have the wheel
slip around.
He did not give the brake one thought
until he was told that the wheel rota-
tion could be stopped easily by apply
Ing the hand brake. He found the Job
much easier with the wheel stationary.
II might be stated in connection with
this case that the studs in the wheel
felloe were rusted so that the turning
on and off of the nuts was rather diff
ficult. This condition can be overcome
to great extent, by applying a little
grease or graphite to the studs when
ever a chance presents itself. Some
make a habit OF doing this monthly"

Parts Are Often

Tyro Condemns Starter, Then Carbureter When Real
Reason for Trouble With Motor Car
Was Due O Neither.

Be sure you are right before con-

some other part is the offending CEN
ter Recently a new car owner an
nounced his electric starter as being
generally useless, as il would not start
his motor The investigation showed
the starter capable of turning the
motor at sufficient revolutions per min
ute to start, but the carbureter was
ia ling to do its work. says Motor Age.
Then the carbureter was condemned
and a long trip made to the carbureter
service department for the purpose of
declaring its shortcomings.
A few minutes of examination and
it was proven that the Carbureter, too,
was all right, so far as its general
functioning was concerned. and the
only thing wrong was that the wire
connecting the shutter valve in the cold
air pipe was not properly set and did
not entirely shut off the air; there was
not enough pull on the gasolene. not
enough gasolene flowed, and. conse-
ouently. the motor would not start.
Ii would have paid this amateur
driver to have busted himself with the
elements of carburetion, or even to
have seen that all of his connections
were right. before induIging in such
general condemnation of his starter ap-
paratus.

TYRO DRIVERS ARE
BECOMING MENACE
"First Car" Owners Dangerous
to Pedestrians and Other
Autom0biIiStS.

The first car owner is fast becom-
ing to be a dangerous person upon the
public street and highway. He knows
no fear and boldly drives his car at TOP
speed across street intersections and
around corners, expecting every mov-
able object to Immediately give him a
clear road.
The experienced motorist frequently
meets traffic conditions which are made
difficult and dangerous by the ignorant
and unpracticed driver. On Sunday
when the high speed artist parades the
street and park roads with his new au-
tomobile, the pleasure Of little jaunt
is entirely removed by the continuous
nervous strain an experienced driver
feels because he alone realizes the dan
ger and is awake to the fact that he Is
constantly In peril from this new source.
Each day finds many new machines up
on the streets, drr'en by persons who
know nothing about traffic regulations
and the proper handling of a car
Perhaps. after all, the laws of some
States requiring individual examination
may not be so defective" remarked a
pioneer motorist. of course one can
readily perceive where such an exam
ination would be irksome TO the ex-
perienced person, but there is no ques-
tion as to the value of these precau-
tiOnary measures, where they are thor
oughly carried out. 1t seems the time
is not far distant when motorists will
be compelled for their protection to form
a vigilance squad or association, whose
object would be TO minimize such care
less and lawless operation of vehicles" 1"

qualified to condemn some part of a cal
are most prone to criticise. The de-
sire for criticising is generally IN the
inverse ratio to the knowledge pos.
sessed on the subject.
1t Is highly unjust to condemn a
starter or carbureter until you are
certain that either one or the other
Is the offending part.
There have been more baseless con-
demnations of starter apparatus and
carbureters heard in the last year from
lll-informed motorists than accusers OF
pneumatic tires. The starter being a
new part on the car, and naturally an
imagined untried and unproven part,
every person felt himself endowed with
special certificate of criticism.
The carbureter has come to be the one
part Of the car that can be tampered
with without danger of entire failure,
and consequently these would-be critics
make 1t the target for all failures that
cannot be heaped on the starter or the
electric lighting system.
Let car owners be fair to the different
parts entering into the makeup of their
cars. First. be certain that a part is
actually functioning improperly before
You condemn it to your friends. You
are doing a maker an injustice when
You condemn without verification and
proof.
