Arbitrary Restrictions on Speed
Being Ignored in Many

One Of those pretty little towns
which dot the Lincoln Highway in
Pennsylvania, and which have become
noted for their beauty and their hos

distinguished by pair Of signs placed
at the municipal limits on the Lincoln
Highway In such a position that tour
lists entering the community from
either the east or the west could not
help but read them. Each bore in
large letters the inscription, Drive
Slow and See Our Town: Drive Fast
and See Our Jail"
Few tourists were inclined to soc
anything Objectionable in this rather
unusual method Of calling their atten-
ton to the necessity Of prudent and
careful driving in the community.
1t has remained for the town itself to
take exception to this form of well

petitioned by a local organization Of
business men to remove the signs as

New York Investigator Says
Laxity Of Insurance Men En-
courages Dishonesty.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE star
Ting statement that so per cent Of the
reports Of automobiles stolen in this
city are fictitious or that the cars
were disposed of for the purpose Of
collecting insurance on them, was
made by David Hirshfield, commis-
sioner Of accounts, in a report on
an investigation into automobile In
surance ordered by Mayor Hylan. He
declared he had discovered that auto
mobile insurance companies made no
effort to learn whether an applicant
for a policy actually owned car or
whether his car was Of the value
stipulated in the policy.
Hirschfield said that one OF his
agents applied for a $500 policy on
an automobile that never existed.
few days later he received the policy.
This incident was followed by an
other of the same character, in which
policy for 500 was issued by an
other company. A similar plan was
worked a third time with a third
company, according to Hirshfield.
The commissioner asserted that.
although the three policies had been
issued more than six weeks. no one
from any of the insurance companies
had called on the policy holders to
request an inspection Of the cars.
There was a report the other
day." Hirshfield stated, ito the ef-
feet that 160 cars were stolen IN this
city in twelve days. My investigac

TIRE MILEAGE GUARANTEE
FATE IN HANDS OF MAKERS

Tho special committee of the tire
manufacturers division Of the Rubber
Association of America. which has
been investigating all phases Of the
tire mileage guarantee, has presented
its report to the division for adoption
or rejection by the individual manu-
facturers. While the report will not
be made public until It is known def
initely whether the general statement
favors its acceptance, 1t is understood
to recommend strongly the abolition
Of mileage guarantees. This is done
on the theory that all reputable tires
are good for more than the number Of
miles guaranteed and for that reason
nothing is to be gained by continuing
the practice. 1t is understood there is
little doubt that the recommendations
of the committee will be accepted
