SAFETY first SOCIETY
!, IS MAKING Progress
Secretary F. H. Elliott Says Nation
wide Campaign Is Reaping Ex-
cellent Results.
CITES MOTORING ETIQUETTE

Secretary Frederick H. Elliott, Of the
Safety First Society of New York. who
is making a tour OF the Eastern and
Middle Western States with the society 5
safety first car in the interest Of the
widespread movement to make the high
ways safer. declares that motorists as a
class are becoming more careful.
Il am firmly convinced that since the
safety first propaganda was started in
a number of cities recently the campaign
Is accomplishing to a large degree that
which II set out to do. In my trip during
the last two weeks l have noticed that
many drivers on the road an open coun-
try of the suburbs, as well as in cities,
as a class are considerably more careful
in passing vehicles and slowing down for
turns, etc. than was the case a few
years ago. | have observed many motor
lists taking pains to slow down on espe-
cially oily roads that have just been wa
tered. in order not to splash pedestrians
on the sidewalk-a thing that was a
nasty abuse a few years ago.
Another thing / 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, particu-
larly when women in white clothes are
walking on the side walks The arro-
CANT spirit OF Inb HOIOTlst VINO uSeQ
to consider himself superior is disap-
pearing. And let me say that a number OF
automobile 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 eti-
quette. which right thinking people OBJ
serve, and happily these very points of
etiquette, as far as the motor car is con-
cerned. are making for greater safety on
the highways. For instance. 1t is consid-
cred bad form and just as impolte TO
pass a car on a dusty road on high speed
with the muffier cut-out open so that the
occupants Of the overtaken car are show
cred with dust. as il would be TO smoke
in a street car and fling cigar ashes about
upon passengers clothing.
The receptions We have received along
the line have been Inost gratifying and
the enthusiasm shown in our trip and
our car. which is equipped with modern
devices tending to promote safety. has
been beyond my fondest expectations"

PRAISES SUCCESS OF
PROFIT-SHARING PLAN
Charles Miller. Washington Agent for
Ford Cars. Says Sales Are In
creasing Rapidly.

When interviewed last week concerning
the progress of the profit-sharing plan
of the Ford Motor Company, Charles
Miller who. with his brother. sells the
Ford in this territory, remarked that
2o,63S Ford cars were sold during the
month Of August. this year
This is not a production figure but the
actual sales made during the month. On
the other hand it does not represent
orders received, for the Ford Motor Com
pany is still thousands of cars in arrears
4 orders received. It represents. there
fore, 2O.63S delivered sales.
These figures are extremely signifi-
can't said Mr.. Miller They mean that
the sales for August, 1914. are almost 800
per cent more than August last year.
That is, in August 1913, the Ford Motor
Company sold, in round numbers. 7.547
cars. When it is remembered that
August is always the lightest month of
the year in sales the figures take on a
new meaning. The real significance in
this larger volume Of sales lies in the
fact that 1t encourages the faith that
the Ford Motor Company will reach its
zeal Of 10000 cars for this year.
When the company announced the
new proht-sharing plan whereby the
BUYERS of Ford cars between August 1.

AUTOMOBILE owners
PROTEST DOUBLE TAX
Executive Board of A. A. A. Declares
Road Users Should Not Be Dr.
vided Into Two Classes.
1,5OO,OOO LINED UP FOR FIGHT

4 million and a half of automobile
owners are becoming quite generally
agreed that road users should not be
divided into taxed and untaxed classes.
Through its executive board, on which
every State is represented, the American
Automobile Association at the September
meeting renewed consideration Of the
subject. taking action that leaves no
doubt as TO its position.
In the adopted report of a special COM
mittee named at the semi-annual meet
ing of the entire association, Chairman
H. A Bonnell sets forth that in only
four States is II possible to make the
registration tax in lieu of the personal
tax. The association remains opposed to
the payment of the two taxes, desig-
mated as "a constitutional infringement
of the principles of equal taxation and
the rights of the citizens Of a State who
own automobiles
Referring TO the general tendency to
increase both the registration tax and
automobile values when taxed as per
sonal property. the committee confutes
the assumption that any double tax is
justified because of so-called excessive
destruction of the roads, which, it as
Serts, is not borne out by the actual
facts; and. Furthermore il is held that
dulOinODlleS nave an tQud4 TlBnl WIN oil
other vehicles TO the free use of the
public highways built and maintained
by general taxation.
The proposal by Congress to add an
additional excise tax for purposes Of
revenue is claimed TO be ''unjustified and
unfair. and would be a species Of spe-
Cial taxation upon a means Of transpor-
tation which has become OF such COM
mon use that it would be burdensome
and detrimental TO the interests OF the
people at large"
President John A. Wilson presided at
the A. A. A. meeting, and he will head
a special delegation which will represent
the association at the American Road
Congress- to be held in Atlanta, Ga, dur
ing the week OF November 9. This dele
cation will include former Presidents
Robert P. Hooper. of Pennsylvania. and

EUROPEAN DEALERS
ORDER CARS SHIPPED
Willing to Risk Fortunes of War to
Obtain 1915 Empire
Models

Eager to obtain shipments Of the 1915
models, Empire dealers abroad are will
ing to risk the fortunes of war to land
the new cars on their showroom floors.
As evidence of this, the company has
received instructions from many foreign
representatives to ship regardless of
risk, cost OF war insurance. and great
ly increased freight rates. The great vol
ume of this trade. of course. comes from
neutral countries. but cabled instructions
were received last week from the Brit
ish representatives to continue shipments
according to schedule.
The Empire Company has built up a
large export trade, being represented
now in practically every automobile US
ing country. Dealers were given infor-
nation in regard to the 1915 line before
the outbreak Of hostilities. and practI-
cally all had their orders on the way at
the time war was declared.
This eagerness to obtain cars gives
abundant indication Of the confidence OF
dealers generally, and evidence of the
distinctly favorable impression the 1915
Empire Car has made on dealers a
broad. and is in keeping with the heavy
domestic demand for the present models
since their announcement.
