Compliment Our Road Maintenance

Compliment Our Road Maintenance
A few days ago DR.. George E.
Ladd. a geologist representing the
Bureau of Public Roads of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, called at
the State Highway Department in
connection with a survey of road
building materials which he is max
ing for the whole United States and
during the course of his call DR..
Ladd asked several times if anyone
at the Department could inform him
why the gravel roads built by the
Maine Highway Commission did not
rut. ripple and pot out as much as
do the gravel roads in Vermont and
New Hampshire. DR.. Ladd had just
covered the two latter states thor
oughly in a machine and informed
the Commission that on some of the
roads in Vermont and New Hamp-
shire it was almost impossible to
ride. they had become SO wavy.
The Commission informed DR..
Ladd that they have observed the
same condition on some of the heavi-
ly travelled trunk highways in this
not appear until about July Is and
then disappears soon after Labor
Day. In other words, this is a con-
dition which appears to result from
fast driving and where the traffic is
very dense. One thing the Commits
sion has observed is that ripples are
never found on the grades. They
are always on level stretches where
machines run fast 1t is usual that
these ripples are all eradicated by
September Is. that is, after the heavy
summer traffic is over and the pa
trolmsn have time to drag the roads
Z few times.
The real point that impressed DR.
Ladd was the fact that in Maine
these conditions are not nearly as
bad as he had observed elsewhere
The Commission attribute this to the
fact that our maintenance control
of the State highways is much bet
ter and much more efficient than it
IS in the other states named.

WARNS OF AIR-TIGHT GARAGES
CAUSING MONOXIDE POISONING

With the first cold blasts OF winter
automobile owners should again be
reminded of the Importance of proper
ventilation Of the garage when
tuning the motor preparatory to a
morning start or in allowing the ma
chine to idle for extended periods
while making adjustments or repairs,
says A. G. Seller, touring manager OF
the A. A. A.. Keep the garage doors
open whenever the motor Is running"
Is the warning which has been sound
ed year after year. but owners still
commit the folly which claims so
many victims during the winter
months.
Every one who runs an automobile
now knows or ought to know the
mysterious danger which turks in the
fumes of carbon monoxide gas blown
from the exhaust of q gasoline en-
gine in closed or poorly ventilated
garage. Hundreds Of sudden deaths
known as 'petromortis.' have been
produced by the stealthy gas. and now
and then a post-mortem guess will
declare heart disease as the cause in
such cases.
Carbon monoxide enters into the
formula of Illuminating gas. and a
trif1ing leak in gas pipes or flexible
hose will expose occupants to danger
of death. A tramp will seek warmth
at a cinder pile near an old building
and is found dead-monoxide poison
ing. A farmer keeps a kerosene lamp
burning in a tightly closed bedroom
and is found dead the next morning

KEEP AUTO NUTS TIGHT.

If the owner drives his car con-
stantly it will be an excellent thing
for him to use his monkey wrench
now and then, says American Mo-
torist.
Especially with new car. it is
not a bad plan to go over nuts and
bolts occasionally Even the tightest
nut will be more or less affected
by constant vibration and a loose
bolt should be frightened. since the
play to which the looseness gives
rise may result in the necessity for
later repairs. AS the car grows a
little older the bolts and nuts settle
and there is less occasion for tight
ening.
The foregoing advice applies with
particular force to spring clips. a
pulling up of the nuts of which will
take but a few minutes of the op-
orators time about once q month,
keeping the springs properly seated
and adding much to the sense of
security that is enjoyed by the man
who looks after things and knows
that they have been attended to.
Sometimes it happens that the mo-
torist Is unable to keep the nuts
fastening the bolts absolutely tight.
Try as he may, the nut will come
loose again. If a lockwasher cannot
be applied. a good remedy is to put
drop Of solder on the thread OF
the nut, or, in the absence of solder,
a little paint or varnish will set the
nut tight and prevent it from becom-
ing loose again.

er approaches too quickly a place
where dynamite has just exploded and
falls dead from carbon monoxide
gassing. The ballroom boarder takes
his bath in the fitful warmth of a
portable gas heater without proper
hue connections and is found uncon-
scious Any gas heater without direct
connection with the fiue carrying off
unburned gases is a menace to health
and a constant danger to life.
Peculiar effects are caused by
monoxide gassing before any fatality
occurs. The victim feels sudden
throbbing and extreme pressure in
the temples. pain in the abdomen and
peculiar weakness or "caving in at
the knees" and he feels as If glued"
to the spot. powerless in making any
effort to save himself.
Too many persons unfortunately
proceed on the theory that it is still
time to open doors or windows when
the gases are first detected. but this
is utterly wrong. for carbon monox-
ide, the gas that kills. is odorless and
invisible. The best policy is not to
take any chances. Open the doors or
windows, provided they reach close
enough to the floor to allow the
heavy fumes to escape and If the
weather is too severe. making it nee
essary to keep the heat in. then the
only alternative is to connect a metal
pipe or hose securely to the exhaust.
SO that the fumes may be forced to
the outer air. Even with this pre-
caution there might be small leak
which in time would have the death
dealing effect

M0T0R|STSEXPECT
LOWER GAS PRICES
Domestic Production for
1920 Will Break All Records.
Striking Figures.

Motorists are expecting a nation
wide reduction in gasoline prices to
follow the action of the Standard Oil
Companies of New Jersey and Louisi-
ana, which announced drop Of
cent per gallon recently.
The statement of Walter c. Teagle,
president of the New Jersey company,
gave credence to prophecies made in
motor circles during the summer that
the unprecedented production Of fuel
would ultimately lower price levels.
Official government reports and hg-
ures of the oil authorities show that
fuel production will break all records
in 1920. The American Petroleum In.
stitute predicts a domestic oil output
of 450,000,000 barrels, plus Mexican
production of 125.000,000 barrels. This
means a gain of 19 per cent in the
United States fields.
Bureau Of Mines Figures.
The United States bureau of mines
figures show that in August the high
est production figures Of the year for
gasoline were reached with q total
of 14,327.143 gallons.
In addition to the gain in produc-
tion much of the fuel formerly vast
ed can be saved. The bureau Of mines
has pointed out how 900 100000 gall
Ions Of gasoline can be saved out of
the 100000, 900 gallons. which evap-
crate from oil on the way through
pipe lines to refineries.
Local and national associations Of car
owners are also encouraging users to
keep their carburetors adjusted and
engines overhauled SO as to get fullest
mileage from the gallon. Much fuel
loss can be saved in this way.
Refining companies have augmented
the general production due to greater
oil output by introducing better ''crack-
ing" processes to get gasoline from
petroleum. As result, in some fields

TRAFFIC AGITATION AND STUDY

Five Important Measures Are Needed in
Bettering Cooperation Between
Automobiles and Pedestrians.

| the motorist element is predominant
and the result is bound to be preju-
dicial to one or the other. The Pc
destrian is in favor of instantly
from the streets. though his hopes Of
owning an automobile some day are
never given up. and the motorist is
generally in favor Of having elevated
cross-overs for streets, ito do away
with the jay-walker."
Now. Mr.. Pedestrian, we will look
at your side of the question. Don't
you think that with the reckless driv-
ing. and the inconsiderate driving
curbed by an adequate motorized
police squad your burdens in life
would be much easier to bear? And
II that is the case and the reckless
drivers are arrested. that you should
do your part to make driving easier
for the careful and considerate
Try to realize. if you can, that an
automobilist is under constant
strain, lodging cars coming from
every direction and every angle and,
added to that, large army of pedes-
trians in every part of the street.
1t certainly is hard to drive now

ut certainly is hard to walk in

the pedestrian.
Now. to eliminate this there must
be system Of give and take on the
part of the automobilist and the
walker. The former will agree to be
careful and considerate of the rights
of the pedestrian and the pedestrian
will agree to look before he steps in
the street, cross only at regularly
designated crosswalks and tighten the
burden for the motorist as much as
possible.
It is hard to conceive of a motorist
who will deliberately subject a pedes-
trian to the danger of being hit by his
vehicle. And it is equally hard to con-
ceive of a pedestrian who will defiantly
place himself in that danger So in
stead Of knocking each other constantly,
possible, to realize the difficulties Of each
other and strike off a happy medium.
Examination FOR i'erDiits.
The next point Is the examination in
regard to the issuance Of operators per-
mits. At the first meeting Of the newly
organized Safety Council Of the District
discussed. A number of the speakers
pointed out that few accidents happened
to the very inexperienced drivers be-
cause they were generally extra careful.
but that the drivers who thought "they
knew it air. were the ones who had the
accidents.
That argument does not hold water
In the first place, the new driver has
not the judgment of the more expe-

- r. MOTORS and MOTORING - So

rienced one. and judgment is a very inn
portant adjunct to the running of a car
Secondly, the new driver cannot get
used to the idea of working both feet,
on the clutch accelerator and brake:
and one hand on the gear lever. and
steer at the same time. To illustrate
this. ask a new driver to slow down at a
corner, shift into second, and make the
turn at the same time. The probab abili =
ties are that he will either forget to
shift in making the turn or will do the
shifting and forget to steer at the same
time.
Now take the experienced driver and
ask him to do the same thing. He will
do it without the slightest trouble or
thought Why? Because it is abso-
does not have to think for an instant.
1t is done
Real Dirt. ing Tcst.
Now take the two drivers and put
them in heavy traffic where there is
a. great deal of shifting. steering and
delicate work to be done. Who Is
more liable to have the accident, the
man who has to stop and think when
ever he makes the slightest move
ments are absolutely instructive. The
answer Is a real driving test for pro-
spective motorists to see whether they
know the A B Cs of driving and will
not wreck tnelr cars as soon as they
leave the District building.
The other two points are the CEN
tralized traffic squad and the traffic
court. The following reasons are ad-
vanced by w. P. Rayner, well known
traffic authority, for the centralized
squad: Men on this squad. having
no other duties, could do their traf-
f1c work we'll; with q centralized Of
fee and one head, the regulations
would be interpreted the same in all
parts of the city. At the present time
regulation Is enforced one way by
one officer and another way by an
other; that the hours Of duty of these
men could be so arranged so as to al
loss of sleep. In this connection it is
pointed out that some members of the
police force do not want to make ar
rests because it means loss of sleep
the next morning when they must
appear in court. This should not be,
as it encourages violations Of the law.
Other points are: That the roll call
of these traffic men should be in some
precinct, and the headquarters in the
District building. and that the record
Of every driver in the city could be
kept in the central office. AS 1t is
now man may commit a serious vio-
lation in one part of the city and the
other precincts would know nothing
about it.
The need for traffic court is OBJ
vious. There Is too much delay in the
Police Court waiting for trial Of petty
violations. 1t takes the time of the
business man and also Of the police
officer. This traffic court, when es-
tablished, should have a special judge
who is competent traffic authority.
