CALL FOR STATISTICS
WRITER WANTS MORE FIGURES
AS TO THE AUTO.
Its Real Effect on the Life OF the Ma
ton Has Not Been Made Suf.
ficiently Plain.

Economists with passion for ana
lying figures have a fertile field for
study In the automobile statistics pre-
pared by the United States department
of agriculture. To say that last year
there were 2,445,664 motor vehicles
registered in the United States and
that the owners paid $1S,245,71S in
registration and license fees is the
smallest part of the story
To boast that in Iowa there was
one motor vehicle for every sixteen in
habitants is to testify to the farmers
prosperity, which has been no secret.
But how much of the hundreds of mil
lions of dollars invested In automobiles
is productive investment for the own
ers? How much of it represents ex-
pendltures for pleasure that brings no
economic return? How far has the
automobile contributed to economies in
business? How much has ii added TO
the general cost of living, in the pro-
motion of luxury and ease among all
classes of people? In the creation of
new Industries and new occupations
for wage-earners?
To make up a balance sheet for the
whole nation would be an endless task.
Before it was begun the figures would
be out of date. There was an increase
of 734,325 motor vehicles in 1914 alone
in the United States.
Some day, however, a social survey
revolving around fhe automobile must
be made. Everything else connected
with the family income and the family
expenditures has been tabulated,
turned over and scruhnized. 1t stiH
remains to be settled positively what is
the minimum wage on which a respec-
able American, faithful to modern
standards of living, can keep a car

Valve Aids Tire Safety.

An automobile tire valve which acts
as a safety valve has been patented.
The purpose of the invention is to
relieve a tire automatically of ex-
cesSive pressure caused by weather
conditions or high speed. This valve
Is in reality an especially designed
cap which fits on any standard tire
valve stem in place of the ordinary
dust cap.
A rubber gasket is used to make the
connection air tight. The valve can
be set for any desired pressure, and
when changing conditions increase the
tire pressure to the point designated,
sufficient quantity of air will be
released automatically to bring the
pressure down.
The adjustment can take place while
the car is running. The device by
Its operation tends to prolong the life
of a tire and to prevent accidents
resulting from blowouts which occur
while running at high speed.

One Of the causes of the lubricant
working from the differential case out
between the axles and housings to the
brakes and road wheels is using too
large a supply Of oil or grease in the
case. 1t is not necessary only to fill
the housing to a point where the large
gear will dip into the lubricant. If
the leakage continues, fit felt washers

law for New York state have been

that the next legislature will adopt the
measure, the principal difficulty here
tofore having been to get parties in
terested to agree. The features are
similar to those of the Massachusetts
law and require that the direct rays
from an automobile headlight shall not
travel at greater height than AZ
inches above the ground at a distance
of 100 feet. The New York measure
has been drawn to agree with the anti.

Besides, even when amputation saved
mans life 1t left him a cripple.
Doctors Amputate Too Freely.
Often for fear of infection surgeons
in the field resort freely to amputatlon
knowing full well that it would be i'm
possible for them to keep the wound
clean until 1t is completely healed.
Professor Ingianni instead is CON
WINGED that amputatlon should only be
resorted to in extreme cases. as doc

wound Is an almost infallible remedy
against lockjaw, and nothing prevents
its being administered even in the field
under ordinary conditions. The profess
sor has invented Il special portable
bath which can be folded, as 1t is made
Of rubber and shaped in such a way
that any limb can be Immersed in it. |
The bath Is then tied to the patient by |
means Of bandages and placed in any |

HINTS FOR DRIVERS
Well-Considered Remarks That

are not modelled after the Indlanap-

Heavily loaded milk wagons and hay
wagons deserve some consideration
from the motorist. Often the horses
cannot quickly pull their loads to the

some drivers is doubtlessly appreciat-

Repairs Won't Stick.

Trouble is often experienced IN get

pairs. This might be due to any one OF
several reasons, the most common Of
which is applying cement over wet fab.
ric. The moisture in the fabric, even
If very slight, will blow TIE tread
loose from the fabric. Another cOm-
mon cause for loose treads is the fail
ure to roughen up The old carcass suf-

not hold properly and after a few
miles Of running the repair will sep
arate. II is also well Ia make sure
that proper pressure is being applied
to the repair when it is curing.
