They've been through this sort of
competition out West" says c. g. Sim
sabaugh, the secretary, land that's the
reason they're so keen to get into this
one"
The contest is in a way national
affair, because it is being handled d.
rectly by the Contest Board Of the
A. A. A. Richard Kennerdell, chair
man of the Contest Board, is to be
referee of the contest. In view of this
fact, there will be no appeal from the
decision of the referee.
Blanks call for entries to close July

team of not less than five cars and not
more than ten cars. No women are to
be taken on the tour, either as con-
testants or passengers.
Penalties will be for early or late
arrivals at controls or checking sta
tions or for work done on the cars.
The penalty for being too early or too
late will be point a minute. Any car
between two and three hours late
loses 200 points penalty. Between
three and twelve hours late is 300
points penalty. Any car more than
twelve hours late is liable to disqualI-
ficaton, which means 1000 points PEN
atty against the team.
Cars are to be allowed a total of 30
minutes each day for lateness due to
tire work. Above half an hour the
usual pont-a-minute penalty applies.
Stopping the motor for engine. work
carries a penalty of five points for the
first minute and a point minute
thereafter. There is no penalty for
motor stops during the period when
other work is being done for which
penalty is imposed.

Paid Workers of Secretary
of State Begin Campaign
Tomorrow
Rule on Dealers Plates
Can Be Used Only for Dem
onstrations Upstate, JUS
tice Holds

Paid inspectors of the Secretary OF
States automobile bureau begin TO-
morrow a regular campaign to look out
for violations Of the law. Several such
inspectors have been active in and
about New York City of late. Addl'
tional workers go on in other parts oil
the state on April 2.
Among the things these inspectors
particularly will check up on are:
Commercial cars operating with
passenger car plates attached.
Omnibuses running with pas
senger car plates.
Unlicensed chaufeurs.
Illegal use of dealers plates.
The continued use of 1916 plates.
The use of self manufactured
plates, frequently so cleverly made
as to all but defy detection.
The use Of the 1916 license plates is
confined to the outlying districts, par
ticularly those where the weather OF
late has been bad and cars are only in
frequently run. AS soon as the driving
conditions get better the residents OF
these districts send in their applica-
tons for new license plates.
A decision made last week by City
Judge Brady, of Albany, with reference
TO dealers license plates will be OF IN
terest to motorists generally. 1t coin
cides with an opinion given snort
time ago by the Attorney General. Inc
owner of garage in Albany was ar
rested while using a car on which
dealers plates were fixed for the trans
portation Of supplies to his garage.
The dealer fought the case, asserting
that he had paid the sum OF SO Tor SIX
sets OF dealers plates and that the
pavment of such q sum should give HIM
the privilege Of using his car for any
nurpose he wished. The man was found
guilty. however, but sentence was sus-
Judge Brady expressed the opinion;

license plate can be lawfully used
for lust one purpose-for demon
stration preliminary to a possible

He said that a person inviting friends
for a ride in such a car plainly violated
the statute.

ity.
The part on traffic, which is the main
part Of the bill, has been taken direct
ly or indirectly, as have all other sets
Of traffic regulations In the world,
from the one in force In New Yort,
although / am sure that It has not been
taken directly from the last New York
set, as IL contains in parts the wording
of the earlier sets.
The result has been that, while a.
most everything Of value has been
flched from the New York regulations,
these have been so distorted By re-
arrangement and rewording and By i'm
portant omissions and unimportsnt sd-
ditions that the patchwork thus pro-
duced is confusing and much too long.
The order Of the regulations also
has been all mixed up, and clear, con-
else sentences have been replaced by
long complicated ones, most difficult 10
understand even by one we'll versed In
the subject. Such an act as this should
not be allowed TO pass. There should,
however, be a traffic act in each state,
but it should be as concise and as clear
as it possibly can be made, containing
only what is necessary, and not word
over.
urge the public to learn enough
about this act TO oppose its being
passed even with the promise that it will
be amended next year. for even II il
is amended it can only be a poor
mended thing at best. A concise traf-
fc act, such as ! have formerly out
lined, is being prepared by a few peo-
pie who have made a deep study Of
the question, and the matter should be
held up until this act can be presented.
| cannot conceive of any reason for
this bill whatever, unless it is 10 en-
able somebody to get some political
glory out of having his name attached
to it. What has happened has been
simply that lot of inexperienced peo-
pie, no doubt good at some other job.

fic act. It is history repeating itself
once more as to traffic regulations.

Danes May Not Drive Cars

The Danish government has tempo
rarily prohibited the use of passenger
cars on the streets. The gasolene and
tire shortage has become serious, and
the government has taken this means to
alleviate the situation. There are more

Letting Nothing of
Old Cars Go to Waste

Some very ingenious methods are
used by some concerns in disposlng OF
scrap material. A large automoDile
manufacturer sells his old cush lion
springs for the purpose of making
porch cushions. His old motors are
sold for power boats, mufflers for sta
tionary farm engines, bodies for taxi
cabs and liveries, and junk dealers take
a large portion of the materials which
cannot be sold in this manner.
The brass and aluminium scrap IS
sent to the foundry to be remelted and
used again. The iron and steel are
sorted out and dumped into bins and
sold for old metal in carload lots
Nickel steel trimmings and ends are
carefully separated and kept in sepa-
rate bins. because this class of ma
terial brings a much higher relative
price than other kinds of scrap.-Auto-

Front Speedometers
Don't Show Alike

Those who put speedometers on each
front wheel TO check up readings are
surprised to find them registering
differences. Because of traffic rules,
the instrument on the left front wheel
ordinarily shows less mileage than that
on the right front wheel.
There are differences, too, between
the mileage readings Of a tonneeu
speedometer, which Is gesred 10 the
transmission. and that Of a front
wheel machine.
The only way two speedometers can
can be tested at one time on a car is
to run the automobile down a railroad
track which Is without turns.

days before disposing Of il.
While the dealers agree that the re.
port system would be of considerable
value, they feel that being compelled to
keep cars for two weeks would prove a
restriction of more harm to the trade
than of benefit In preventing the loss
Of stolen cars.
The same bill also provides that each

Since November last year forty
manufacturers of automobiles have
raised prices on their cars, increases
ranging from $40 TO 500. The average
advance is Sl46 a car. All told, since
the early part of 1916. more than one
hundred motor car makers have put up
their prices.
Freight conditions and the uncer-
tainties in the international situation
are the reasons popularity given. for
such increases. Recent advances have
been larger than those made last year,
indicating that the hope then enter
tanned of being able to weather through
the difficulties has been defeated.
