NO SERIOUS HURTS
FOLLOW CROWD AND
REVELRY OF FRIDAY

There were remarkably few acct
dents in Richmond Friday considering
the large crowds which thronged the
streets in the central business district
throughout most of the day.
A we'll known Richmond woman SUI
fered a severely sprained ankle while
attempting to get out of ring OF men
who had surrounded her holding each
others hands. She was told that If she
wanted to get away she would have TO
jump over their arms.
She took the joke good naturedly
and jumped, but when she alighted on
the sidewalk her ankle turned and
she had to be removed to her home.
The men responsible for the accident
expressed deep regret, gave their
names and addresses and told her to
send them her physicians bill.
Staubach Leaves His Horse.
First Sergeant George Staubach. OF
the Police Department, was painfully
but not seriously hurt by fall from
a horse he was to ride in the Shriners
parade. The saddle had not been Sc
curely adjusted and one stirrup was
too long.
In attempting to adjust the stirrup
the saddle slipped and Staubach was
thrown to the street He had to be
taken to his home and he was not able
to be on duty Saturday.
There were several minor accidents
reported and few automobiles were
slightly damaged in down town traffic
tieups.
Parking Offender Arrested.
There was only one arrest, and IN
that case the charge was violation
of the city parkingg ordinance. Po-
yioo offioars wera loud in their praises
of the conduct of the big crowd whlcn
filled Richmond Friday.
The people who thronged the
streets Friday were in holiday mood
and with the visiting Shriners setting
the pace men, women and children
frolicked along Main street and the
crowds roared with laughter at the
pranks which were played.
Late in the afternoon a squad of
uniformed Shriners held UP car
driven by n woman at Seventh and
Main streets and placed brick under
a rear wheel. When she alighted to
ascertain why her car would not go,
one of the men told her that they had
discovered a brick under the wheel.

He removed it with exaggerated po-
likeness and she attempted TO starr

another brick had been placed under
another wheel. This performance
was kept up for about ten minutes,
and before the frustrated woman was

blocks each side Of Seventh street

EMPLOYEES SHARE
GOODYEAR co. PROFITS

More and more the desirability of
having employees become stock
holders Is being impressed upon in
dustrial concerns in this country.
The United States Steel Corporation
has the largest number of employee
stockholders. but the Goodyear Tire
and Rubber Company Is pressing
hard for premier honors. Although
in the last sale of preferred stock,
17.400. or 60 per cent of the Good

pany will start a drive to have
every worker own stock by the end

Three more sales will be held
in March, June and December on
the plan of paying for the stock
by pay deductions, SO that COM
plete payment will be made with
in a period of two years. Oficials

URGED
FOR BROADWAY.
Action Started to Rid
Famed Highway Of
Car Tracks.

At a recent meeting OF the board
of directors of the Broadway AS
ISOLATION of New York City, Il was
decided to raise special fund OF
$4,000. to be expended in an effort
to secure the removal of street car
tracks from Broadway and the In.
stallation Of motor bus system.
This action was taken following
the report of the transportation
committee. which on a referendum
submitted to the associations men,
bers, found that so per cent favored
'the removal of the street car
tracks and the substitution OF q
modern bus system"
Two Traction Lines Now.
At present the surface transpor-
tation service on Broadway is con-
Quoted by two traction lines which
charge separate fares and do not
issue interchangeable transfers
One line runs from the lower end
of the city through the financial
and retail store section to the the
atrical district while the other runs
from the theatrical district through
part of the residential district.
The double fare and inconvenience
of changing cars when going from
one of these districts to another
have been the causes for many COM
plants. Two even more serious
complaints are the congestion In

Seraping Cylinders.

It has long been customary to
clean gasoline engine cylinders with
long-handled scraping tools, the
cutting edges of which are hard
ened. In scraping a cylinder in
this manner, 1t is important to have
the piston in the uppermost posi-
tion of it's sweep, since otherwise
the scraping tool is likely to slip
into the bore of the cylinder and
injure the smooth surface of the
cylinder wall.

yehicular trafic and the absence
Of the logical motor traffic. Street
cars stop to take on and let on
passengers at nearly every corner
and frequently between street cor
ners. Passengers must pass across
the space reserved for vehicular
trafiic In order to reach the side
walk. The law requires all vehic-
ular tranfic, In the lower section Of
this street, to stop when a car
stops until the passengers get on or
on and the>1car resumes it's head
way.
Points to Other Cities.
In a statement issued by the
managing director of the Broadway
Association he says: Nearly all
cities in the United States and on
the continent refuse to allow street
car tracks to be laid on their finest
streets.
'The modern motor bus AZ used
In European cities and In some
American cities accommodates un-
der cover sixty passengers. and can
be operated successfully on Broad
way, 1t Is more mobile than a
street car because IT Is not con-
fined to rails and stops at the curb.
and while IL prevents many acci-
dents by allowing the passengers to
alight directly on the sidewalk. 1t
also would permit all other vehic-
ular traffic to move uninterruptedly
in the lanes now provided for II.
'In case of breakdown the bus
can be moved to q side street, an
stead of blocking the entire line as
the street cars now do.
Reliable Information Is that a
bus line can profitably be operated
on the entire length OF Broadway
on Manhattan for a single fare"

Ford Ignition Lock.

An ingenious motorist has discov-
cred n simple way of cutting out
one cylinder of his Four engine and
thereby hampering the operations of
possibfe~thief. He drills a hole
in one end of the coil box. Into this
he thrusts a well tempered wire with
one end beveled. This wire rests
against the bottom of the coil box
and holds the first coil away from
its connection at the base. 1t is
possible to modify this device some
what so that all the cylinders will
be thrown out.

.mittee the other day for COM
bining OF the present badly graded
horsepower tax and the poorly COLI
lected personal property tax in the
form of an increased horsepower
tax. we would submit to your COM
mittee. for consideration. a plan
now incorporated In the laws OF
several States and one which un-
doubtedly will become quite uni
versal. It covers horsepower and
weight. and IL Is safe to assert
that the expensive car on this basis
will pay in proportion to its great
er value, because the high-powered
cars are heavier and higher priced.
Herewith Is the table OF rates ap-
proved by the American Automobile
Association and the National Auto
mobile Chamber Of Commerce. and
you will note that it has reference
both to passenger automobiles and
commercial vehicles.
Graded by Weight.
Motor vehicles passenger and
commercially, equipped with pneu-
3atic tires, 25 cents per horse
power. plus 25 cents per 100 pounds
gross weight of vehicle and load;
solid rubber tires (two or more), rs
cents per horsepower, plus IS cents
per 100 pounds gross weight of We
hicle and load; iron, steel or other
hard tires (two or more), 25 cents
per, horsepower, plus SO cents per
100 pounds gross weight of vehicle
and load.
''Trailers. equipped with pneu-
matte tires, 25 cents per 100 pounds
gross weight of vehicle and load:
solid tires. IS cents per 100 pounds
gross weight of vehicle and load;
iron, steel or other hard tires. 90
cents per 100 pounds gross weight
of vehicle and load.
Property Tax Removed.
This plan would mean quite a
substantial increase over present
rates. and because of this fact 1t
should be in lieu of the personal
property tax, the collection of which
is indefinite and in many cases not
