NEW PUNCTURE PROOF IS
ENDORSED BY TIRE MAKERS

One of the great difficulties con-
nected with most puncture proof
preparations for tires has been that
tire companies as a rule will not
sustain their guarantees il such
preparations are used.
There is now on the market a pune
ture proof that not only does not
interfere with guarantees on any of
the standard makes Of tires, but is
heartily Endorsed by such leaders in
the industry as Goodyear, Goodrich,
and many others.
This Endorsement was given only
after exhaustive laboratory tests made
by the tire people themselves; some
OF whom went so far as to say 1t
had a beneficial effect on tires.
This preparation is known as Kor-
Ker, and the makers have just open
ed a distributing branch in Washing
ton under the name OF the Potomac
Kor-Ker Company, located with the
D. c. Auto Supply Company, 1415
Fourteenth street. Colin F. Burch is
the factory representative for this
and adjacent territory.

By L. J. FAULKNER.

1t is indeed gratifying to hear Major Puman's report
that automobile accidents becoming less frequent and
that there has been marked decrease within the last
months from that of the previous six months This sac
tory result is due several contrbuOry causes the main
one undoubtedly being the changes made In the traffic
regulations and their stricter enforcement.
Another is the persistent publicity given to raf
c regulations by The Times and other papers, such as the
publishing of maps, diagrams, and warnings
Another strong factor has been the aid given by the
Washington Automotive Trade Association association
composed of the leading automobile and allied dealers in
the city This association has regularly appointed traffic
committee whose business it is to work in every posi-
BILE with the traffic squad looking to the prevention of
accidents
Not to be overlooked either is the strong cooperation
given the city officials by the Professional Chaueurs
Association of Washington
It has been the contention of people, not thor
ougy cognzant of the real facts to place the blame OF the
majority of motor accidents upon the automobile driver
This is entirely wrong. While it is true there many
reckless drivers they the exception rather than the rule
One might well say that accident shows that
ocean travel is unsafe
If any doubter of this statement will stand for ten
minutes any busy street of Washington and watch
pedestrians the street. the wonder will be that more
accidents not caused The person walking with head
bent the person stopping directly in the path of moving
cars the person coming out from behind street with
out looking for approaching traffic from the opposite dre
ton and last but not least the socaed Jay WALKER who
street at all angles and behaves if he was back
in his native village-a these actually invite accidents
STOP KNOCKING THE TRAFFIC SQUAD AND
LOOK FOR THE BEAM IN YOUR OWN EYE. THAT'S
THE BEST WAY FOR BOTH WALKER AND DRIVER
TO GIVE THEIR AID TO MAKING CONDITIONS
BETTER.

TRANSCONTINENTAL
TOURING TO RETURN

Crss-country touring, after no
ticeable luIl of two years, again has
come into it's own.
Observations made in various parts
of the country show that touring at
least has reached the proportions it
enjoyed prior to the entrance OF the
United States into the world war.
If these early reports may be taken
as indicative the present season
promises to be the greatest touring
season in the annals.
Frank B. Ansted, president Of the
Lexington Motor Company, declares
there are two factors responsible for
the revival Of extended tours. One
Of these is the reaction which follow
ed the signing of the armistice-the
release Of the individual from ma
tional obligations: the other is the
economy and reliability of the mod
ern motor car.
During the war mtorists did not
indulge in touring to any great ex-
tent. Aside from the fact that all
eagerly entered into the spirit OF the
movement to conserve gasoline, they
were busily engaged in helping to
win the war in one capacity or an
other.
After two years of denial they feel
they have earned the right to enjoy
a vacation in their favorite way, and
that means touring.
1.-THE reliability of the modern mo-
tor car makes it possible for the So
called amateur driver to pilot his car
over long distances. This, together
with greater riding, and driving COM
forts and the persistent economy to
be found in the present-day operation
of a motor. is in no small way re-
sponsible for the revival Of cross
country touring.
According to an estimate recently
published, there are more than 6,000,-
900 motor vehicles in the United
States. Figuring that an average Of
three persons have the use OF each
oar, there at least are $4,000, 900 mo-
florists in the country, or nearly one
fifth the entire population.
"Just how many OF these become
tourists during a season is difficult
to determine, but it would be q con-
sentative estimate to say that % per
cent may be placed in the tourist
class"
Reports fromm the Pacific coast in
dictate that many motorists are ex-
tending their tours across the CONT
nent During the last two months
scores Of cars bearing licenses Of
Eastern States have been observed
throughout California

than we anticipated, and when we
predicted this shortage early in the
year we took into consideration the
fact that most of the automobile
manufacturers will not be back on
normal production again until July at
the earliest
"And even with the factories turn
ing out automobiles at their normal
pre-war rate, there would not be suf-
ficient cars to meet this demand. This
demand is so tremendous and in
sistent that another burden has been
put on the shoulders OF the automo-
bile builders. who have gradually
heightened their change of production
load until it now weighs very little.

FORMER CLERK is ASSISTANT
TREASURER OF G00DYEAR'S

The appointment of H. H. McClos-
key to the position of second as
sistant treasurer has just been an
nounced by The Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Company, of Akron.
Mr.. McCloskey came to Goodyear
only four years after it's organiza-
tion, on November 10, 1902. as a clerk
in the factory payroll department.
A few months later he was trans
ferred to the treasurer's office in the
bookkeeping department where his
general ability and keen insight into
financial matters soon won recogni-
ton. He was made cashier in 1910
which position he held until the day
Of his promotion.
He is also the proud possessor Of
a fifteen year service pin which was
awarded to him a year ago for faith
full and continuous performance of
duties during the days when Good
year built the foundation on which its
present prosperity is founded.
