Motion Picture Tells
Storage Battery Story

A manufacturer has just produced n
purely theatrical film entitled "The
Electric Heart" which removes the
mystery that has surrounded the stor-
age battery and its workings in the
mind Of the public. This has been ac-
cepted by exhibitors for release all
over the country, and will not only
give motorists a close acquaintance
with the workings of one Of the most
essential parts Of the car, but will pro-
vide the general public with a highly
interesting educational film.
In view Of the shortage of storage
batteries this year and the inability
of manufacturers to meet the demand,
The Electric Heart" is expected to as
sist car owners in extending the life
Of present batteries.

$4,000 Motorists
Sport Low Numbers
Keen Desire for Them Implies
Some Special Virtue i'm
Such Licenses

There is apparently great faith in
the taismanic effect of low numbers
on autom obiles. So many motorists,
particularly in the New York territory,
want them that the Secretary Of State
has had to provide fifteen series Of
low numbers with letters starting at
A. These numbers run to about 1000
in each series. In other words, there
are about $4,000 persons, most of
whom believe they are getting little
the best of it in some way by having
such numbers on their c~rs.
This does not, of course, apply to all
the owners of cars that display low
numbers. In some cases the numbers
were provided for them without their
special request.
There is another interesting mani
festation of the desire to make a
special display. This is in the matter
Of New York State shields, which some
automobilists have mounted on their
cars. The Secretary of State is au-
thority for the statement that no one
has any authority to issue such a
shield. individuals take the liberty Of
having them made personally, but
there is no official authorization for
any private person to display such a
shield. OF course, the idea usually is
to give the impression that it is an
official car and by this means to get
away with something.
Some persons have fancy for dis
playing badges, and perhaps it is with
this idea in view that the Secretary
of States office a great many years
ago started the custom Of appointing
special inspectors to serve without
pay, attached to the automobile
bureau. The appointment carries with
it blue and gold badge, and for those
who like that sort Of thing that is
the sort of thing they like. A word
of friendly advice to the motorist who
owns one of these badges, and that is
not to fash it on a policeman in the
metropolitan district. It may go a
whole lot better in the Suburbs and
the rural districts, but an attempt to
overawe metropolitan policeman
with it will find the motorist who does
so S. 0. L.

National Good
Roads Would Be
Huge Saving Plan
Enactment of the Townsend
Measure Would Mean
Saving of Millions of
Dollars, Says Chaplin
By Roy D. Chaplin

In day when every expenditure
should be rigidly scrutnized and every
effort made to overcome the burden
which the World War has saddled upon
us, the need of q national highway
system stands out moro clearly than
ever before.
Not one item in the domestic budget
Of the United States gives evidence Of
such waste and incfficiency as that dis
played in our highway transportation
costs, which are direct reflection of
the damage wrought by poor roads
Because Of this condition, many cents
are added to the cost Of the daily meal
of every citizen in the land, thousands
Of tons of food still remain rotting on
the farms, and the burden of meeting
our taxes is intensified.
Intelligent Improvement and mainto-
nance of our highways, at O. compara-
lively insignificant cost, would save
enough money in transportation costs
the lifetime Of the present generation
and leave handsome residue in the
Treasury besides.
This is large statement. but one
susceptible Of proof. We have 8,5Oo,o0
passenger cars In the United States
to-day. Assume that national high
way system Of 10000 miles should be
constructed and maintained by the gov
ernment. If each Of these cars trav-
eled but 1900 miles year on the ma
tional system saving Of IA cent a
mile in gasoline and tire costs would
easily be effected, or total Of S117,-
100000 a year.
Government figures show that saving
Of II cents a ton mile in commercial
traffic is made when roads are i'm
proved The Congressional vestiga-
servative statement would place the
total to-day at 1000 900 900 tons On

Trailer Men to Fight
Revenue Tax Ruling

Representatives Of twenty one trailer
manufacturing companies voted at a
meeting Of the Trailer Manufacturers
Association, held recently in Detroit, to
contest the ruling of the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue that semi-trailers are
taxable as parts Of automobile trucks
under the revenue act of 1918.
Every effort will be made to obtain
a revision of this new ruling, which is
directly. opposed to the ruling issued
by the bureau year ago, in which it
was held that "trailers, regardless Of
the number Of wheels they may have,
are not parts Of or accessories for
automobile trucks" and therefore not
taxable. If unsuccessful in this at
tempt the matter will be appealed, and,
IT necessary, carried into court to test
the validity Of the new ruling. The
manufacturers decided to stand to-
gcther as unit and fight the ruling

Cars Urgently Needed

The Orphans Automobile Day Asso
citation, which once a year takes as many

N. Y. State Adds
Eight New Laws
For Motorists
Most Important Provides
That Cars Must Have
Approved Lenses, Name
To Be Registered

ALBANY, May 15.-New York State
has eight brand new automobile laws
as the outcome Of the late legislative
session, at which more than half a
hundred were introduced. The Secre-
tary of State, Francis M. Hugo, will at
once issue a booklet containing the
motor vehicle laws Of this state, to-
gether with other information valu-
able to motorists and including the
lenses and light-controlling devices ap-
proved by tho state up to May 1, and
also the reciprocal touring arrange
other states.
The new motor vehicle laws are:
The Gillett measure, which re-
quires that all motor vehicles be
equipped with approved lights before
registration is granted. Proof must
be given that the car is so equipped,
the applicant being required to furnish
the name of the lens or device on his
application and make affidavit to the
same.
The Lusk bill, providing that it is
unnecessary for the operator of car
being used to transport children to
and from school outside of city to be
licensed chauffeur. Cars used for
the transportation of school children
may be registered as passenger vehi-
cles and not as omnibuses.
The Mackrell bill, making it mis
demeanor to remove or in any way
change the distinguishing number Of
identification mark on an automobile.
The Knight bill, which more clearly
defines a commercial vehicle" 1t has
been the custom in the Secretary Of
States Office to register suburban cars
as commercial vehicles, inasmuch as
they were equipped to carry goods,
wares and merchandise. This meas
ure defines the term "commercial
vehicle and makes it possible to
register so~called suburban car as q
passenger, and not 4 commercial, We
hicle.
The Wheelock bill, increasing the
prices fer ipecial number plates for
use on omn.buses whero it is desired to
have such cars appear as though pri-
vately owned, The present price for
these plates is 81, in addition to the
regular omnibus registration fee. 1t
was discovered that with this years
method OF figuring ones fees there were
many persons who owned cars on which
the registration fees run from S24 to $40,
and that these same persons would first
register the car as an omnibus instead
of passenger vehicle, paying the fee
in accordance with the horsepower and
then almost Immediately request set
Of the special omnibus plates. paying
So above the omnibus fee, and thus
registering the car, often five or
seven passenger affair, for SIT.
The Ferris bill, which amends the
state highway law and prohibits motor
trucks on highways outside Of cities
from having a greater width of body,
inclusive of load, than eight feet, or
height Of more than IL feet inches.
or combined weight of more than
% 600 pounds.

Noisy Motor Trucks
Should Be SIenced

, If too frequent use Of the horn
is the sign of bad driver of auto
mobiles than there certainly are n
great many poor drivers of motor
trucks in thfs city. They use the
whistle warming signal to excess,
and, in fact, some Of them seem
to think it is a great joke to sound
the warning whenever they hear
another one in the neighborhood.
The ear-splitting noise-makers are
q 100 per cent nuisance.
1t is too bad that another Mr..
Rice doesn't get an anti-noise
society started on the subject Of
over-noisy motor trucks. The city
authorities do not appear willing
to act in case like this.

Study of Costs
Pays Truck Owners
Records Of Operation Should
Be Kept and They Will
Show Larger Profits

To get the maximum results from
motor trucks requires careful study of
all operating conditions in order to
correct mistakes which such study
reveals. A great many truck owners
consider operating records as too ex-
pensive or too cumbersome to be worth
Keeping. However, when the savings
actually realized by the proper use of
cost systems are revealed it is evident
that good operating records may be a
source of income.
