steal existence. You cannot afford to
coax calamity. Then. why drive car
unequipped to conquer the hazards OF
slippery streets and roads?
Watch the Brakes.
You would consider 1t foolhardy to
drive a car with faulty brakes Yet
the best brakes. cannot prevent skid
ding. There must be even and secure
traction action-not merely brake ac-
ton. Brakes can only control the ro-
tary motion of the wheels. They can
not stop the side glide of rubber tires.
Rubber alone is not a preventive. Rub
Der siips-never grips. Rubber will
agree to anything the road has to offer.
1t is the weaker element. 1t slides on
wet pavements and roads like cake
of soap rubbed on the moistened hands.
Rubber lacks the bite-and-hang-on
ability to prevent skidding.
Nothing has ever been created In the
way of arti-skid devices to equal tire
chains. 1t doesn't require the gift OF
second sight to see why this is true;
Wheels equipped with tire chains
automatically lay their own. traction
surface. Friction is effected without
affecting the tires, for they grip with
out grinding-hold without binding.
and release instantly. They fight for
firm contact, always gain their ground.
prevent si6e-skid and drive slip. 1t is
the only anti-skid device that has
proved that 1t cannot be improved.
Avert Accidents.
Tire chains will do you a good turn
ct every turn on your trip. The time
to provide against accidents is before
they happen-not after. Put tire chains
on your car. and they'll take the skid
ding worry off your mind. To be with
out means to be in doubt: and to be In
doubt will detract from the pleasures
of your trip. So. take a tip from an
experienced motorist. and don't forget
to take the tire chains along with you.

FUEL ECONOMY IS
NEXT CAR PROBLEM
Automobile Engineers Tackle
Problem of Less Gasoline
Consumption.

There are approximately 1000. 900
automobiles in use in America alone.
It is estimated that each will average
5000 miles year, making total Of
5, 900, 600, 900 miles travelled by motor
cars in this country year. which IL
equal to going around the world APP
proximately 100000 times.
Figuring the average miles got out
of gallon Of gasolene for all sizes of
cars at ten miles per gallon, 1t will
take SOC. 900, 900 gallons Of gasolene per
year to run the automobiles in America.
which on the basis of 20 cents a gallon
means 500, 900, 900 Is Americas gaso-
leoe bill for automobiles in year.
These look like startling figures I'M
til compared with what Is spent for other
things For example, the ice cream
bill alone In America Is said to be
5000. O0O, 900 a year. It will surprise
some to note that the gasolene bill for
! running these motor cars 200 times
around the world Is only one-ha1f OF
the ice crea mbill and yet they are both
large figures.
Motor cars have come into such gen
eral and practical use that this fuel bill
| is little wonder that SO much inter-
est is shown in the amount OF gaso-
lene the automobile Is consuming.
Engineers have naturally turned their
attention to the saving Of fuel as the
next Job to be tackled. That they are
making splendid progress Is indicated
| by the big mileage records that many
makes of cars have achieved this year
on a minimum amount of gasoiene.

Adds To
Motor Comforts
Tourists Should Make Adequate Arrangements to
Garry Ample Supply of Clothing on Trips-Also
Danger of Skidding and Other Accidents
Would Be Avoided by Proper Plans.
MRS. GARDNER oRME,

The hundreds of motor tourists who will leave during
the next few weeks on vacation will find greatly increased
pleasure on the trip adequate baggage facilities are pro-
vided and provided in rational manner Organization in
this respect is of prime importance If the motor trip is to
extend over few weeks provide yourselves with baggage
trunks or sui, cases especially intended for motor trips.
If ordinary suit are taken and thrown into the
tonneau they will be in badly dsfgured condition be-
fore the trip onehalf and questionable if they
will ever be respectable for other services after the COM
reton of the trip 1t money saved to get suitable bag
gage facilities and to have them properly fitted in place
before the trip starts.

.GLARELESS LIGHT IS
NEED OF MOTORISTS
Subject Is Being Discussed in
Automobile World, As Legis-
Iati0n Is Enacted.
By JULIAN CHASE.

That headlight glare Is source OF
danger on the highway Is imposition
able; that 1t Is something which should
be eliminated or controlled is a natural
conclusion. But, on the other hand.
there Is a decided element Of danger in
Insufficient road illumination.
The moto-ist must be able to see
where he Is going. He must be able
not only to sec the road Immediately
In front of his car. but he must see
ahead a sufficient distance to enable
Inn to control his car when travelling at
reasonable speed in accordance with
conditions on the road in front Of him.
The problem Of obtaining sufficient
illumination with some form of light
or device which will not blind those
who are obliged to look directly into
the source Of the light is now beinG
given a great deal of thought and study
and Is the subject OF extensive expert
mcntation at the present time.
Activity siong this line was started
by the rapidly spreading belief that
something should be done to reduce
headlight glare and has been stimulated
| by legislation In several parts Of the
country which prohibits the use in Ger.
tain localities OF headlights or any
lights. for that matter, which are likely
to blind or dazzle those who are Obliged
| to look at them.
| And in passing 1t might be pointed
out that when we begin to legislatt
against glare the question arises a,
to what glare Is At the monthly
meeting OF the Metropolitan sector
Of the Society Of Automobile Engi.
neers the other night. this question
came up during a discussion Of sew
eral OF the devices and systems which
have been evolved to reduce the daz'
zling effect Of electric headlights.
No definite answer was found for IL
but many of the things which cause

place. the parabolic reflectors used in
headlights pick up. reflect and con-
centrate so much of the total light Of
the incandescent bulb used as a
source that the original 15-candle
power becomes. in the most intense
portion of the beam of light projected
from the headlight, between $4,000
and $4,000 candlepower

low, orange and red rays. with vari-
tone It Is the blush and violet rays
which are responsible for the glare, 1t
seems, owing to the manner in which
our eyes are made. But whatever II
is or whatever 1t Is caused by, glare
In its most violent form Is something
that is very real and also very dam
gerous.
II we are to let our legislators tell
JUS that we must not use dazzling
headlights we must insist that they

dazzling and not leave 1t to the coun-
try constables or justices of the peace.
to whom fees from fines are sometimes
SO dazzling that it is hard for them to
see the truth. In Chicago they have
or disapproves of glare eliminating de-
vices, non-dazzling lamps, and such
things, and issues certificates to such
as within its Judgment comply with the
law. A plan Ike this automatically
removes the dangerous discretionary
power of the lesser administrators OF
the law.
This leads up to consideration of
what a glare or dazzle eliminator
should do One of the speakers at the
meeting referred to put 1t this way:
"First-It must be possible, when In
the country, on untraveled roads. to
get the full power of the searchlight
beam.
"Second-It must be possible when
passing pedestrians or vehicles, or when
running in the city. to Immediately
change the character of the beam so
as to make 1t non-dazzling. while still
preserving a light which will illumine
the road sufficiently for safe driving.
Such light should be SO diffused as to
illumine the sides of the road when
going around curves.
"Third-The change from the search
light beam to the non-dazzling light
must be made without any movement on
the drivers part other than the push
ing of button or similar motion which
will not disturb his control of the car
