SAFETY IS A BIG FACTOR
IN AUTOMOBILE OF TODAY.

That the factor of safety is one Of
the most important features of present
day automobile practice is pointed out
by engineers Of the WHY'S Overland
company, Toledo, Ohio. These experts
illustrate the attention given this fea-
ture in the Overland car, by showing
that their product has greater braking
power in proportion than the biggest
locomotive.
The heaviest type of passenger loco
motive weighs about 100000 pounds
Its total braking surface with cast iron
and steel shoes operated on each wheel,
Is about 1000 square inches, or one
square inch to each 227 pounds of
weight The Overland Model so tour
lug car has four separate brakes, which
total 276 square inches. The car with
out occupants weighs 29O0 pounds, thus
having a little more than a square
inch of bralIing surface to each 10
pounds of weight
1t is further pointed out that Over
land brakes are much more effective
than locomotive equipment, for they
consist Of a band Of asbestos faced
steel in contact with the steel Of the
brake drum.
With this powerful braking equip
ment any kind of stop is possible, from
the instantaneous stop required in case
of emergency to a gradual and almost
impercepuble slowing down.

REGULATION FOR
REVENUE ENDED
California Cities Cannot
Now Enact Laws Merely
To Enrich Treasures.

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. 23.-Motorists
who are still wondering what relation
the recent decision of the appellate
court in the MERGED case has to the
speed limits in southern California
We're answered yesterday by the legal
department Of the Automobile club Of
southern California.
1t is evident from the opinion given
by Edward q. kuSteT. counsel for the
Auto club, that considerable litigation
is promised before the question of
speeding in California is settled.
The question rests now, according
to the club official, between the NUM-
cipalities and the state, since it appears
that only charter cities may amend the
state law as they see fit.
one CLEAN of light seen through the
tangle OF possibilities for litigation in
the future is the fact that a long step
has been taken toward chatting the
''reguIation-for- TeyenUe-onl nuisance
which has annoyed California motor
lists for many years, according to Ed
ward G. Kuster. counsel for the Auto
mobile club.
1t is the opinion Of the clubs legal
department that all cities in southern
California operating under freehOlders
charters may enact trafflc reg uIatloIS
as they see fit. This means that the
lid" villa not be lifted in California
50 far as speed limits go.
Test Case Likely.
"Experience has shown that the no.
torious evils arising from local traffic
regulation have not occurred IN the
charter cities, but rather in the moor
porated villages that have made a law
OF necessity and have sought to ''regu-
late" through traffic with a view less
to bona fide regulation than to the en-
richnent of the municipal treasures,
said Mr. Kuster This is the evil
which the decision of the district court
of appeaIs will abate. even though the
opinion does contain a general quail
flea tiOu which may require more or

without further applications or pay
ment of additional fees, to December 81,

empts motor vehicles used exclusively
on mail lines, from securing n license,
but subjects the owners and operators
to all OF the other provisions of the
Fees To Aid RFads.
After deducting the cost Of the ad-
minstration of the act, the fees paid

mittcd q the county treasurer OF the
county where the owner of the motor
vehicles resides and the license tax
so collected shall be deposited by the
county treasurer to the credit of the
road and bridge fund of the county to
be expended on the public roads.
While the Automobile has been
largely responsible for the growth Of
the good roads idea, Mr.. Mcknight
states that the motor car also does
more damage to good roads than any
other vehicle. He therefore bellves
that automobile owners should pay a
tax which will furnish funds for the
building and Improvement Of many
miles of road annually.
The passage of this bill would also
remove the necessity of creating a

this time. Last year the record
yield was 121 bushels of shelled corn

likely be raised. This record is not
so remarkable when it is considered
with the fact that nearly double the
usual quantity of seed is planted in
Ontario fields. The soil is produc-

than 1900 tons of silage will be
