POLICE HEAD TO FIGHT
MARYLAND TITLING LAW
Marshal Carter of Baltimore. Who
Is Accused of Violation, to
Test Constitutionality.

BALTIMORE, January / (SpeciaD.-
Marshal of Police Robert b. Carter
who was recently placed under ar
rest by a deputy of the automobile
commission for having an untitled ca,
in his possession, has retained coun-
sci and announces that he will test
the constitutionaiity of the auto
titling law at the hearing in the traf-
flee court on Monday.
1t is said by lawyers that the sit
uation, in which the head of the po-
lice department will endeavor to have
a law he has been enforcing declared
unconstitutional. is unique in the his
tory of the city.
Former States Attorney Albert s. J
Owens, who has been retained by
Marshal Carter, said he proposed to
show that there are serious and fun
damental defects in the titling law,
the exposition of which. he thinks
will result in the dismissal of the
charges against the marshal.
marshal Carter is absolutely inno-
cent of the charges against him. Mr.
Owens said. Il intend to show that
the accusations against him are
without foundation in fact. There are
some very interesting circumstances
which will be brought out at the
hearing. While l do not intend to ex-
pose our contentious at this time, the
public can rest assured that the mar
shall will be cleared of any stain. He
is not guilty"

SEE SHORTAGE IN SPRING.
Writers Discuss Halted Production
of Good Motor Cars.

Some time ago Walter p. Chrysler.
chairman of the MAXWELL Chalmers
committee, made the statement that
'discontinuance of production and de-
lay in resuming it will almost GER
tainly bring about another shortage
of good motor cars in the spring"
This opinion is shared by a major
ity of automobile editors and editors
of automobile trade ma gazines in let
tiers to the Maxwell Chalmers adver-
Using department.
The general opinion of the several
editors is: That the need and demand
for cars is as great as ever; that,
according to reliable statistics, there
will be approximately 100000 re-
placements needed next year in ad-
dition to supplying the usual quota
of new owners; and that. as a result.
the demand will be greatly in excess
of the supply, since 1t will be some
time before production reaches full
swing.
These opinions are worth consider
able weight, because the several edi-
tors keep in intimate touch with
manufacturers of automobiles and
with present and prospective users.

"Roads of remembrance" is what
the American Forestry Association
calls the miles of highways that are
being planted with memorial trees by
women's clubs, the American Legion,
the Service Star Legion and similar
organizations throughout the country
The American Forestry Association
is registering all these trees on ma
t1onal honor roll and sending free
certificates of registration and free
tree planting instruction to any who
ask for the bulletin. Hundreds of
trees will be planted Armistice day,

to build ridges across the highway;
the greater the adjacent population

more frequent the ridges.
Once this has been done, the gen

C. O. P. LEADERS WANT 100000 600
AVAILABLE FOR ROADS IN YEAR
Movement for Better Highways Through
out Country Is on 1ncrease-Many States
Vote for Bond Issues to Cooperate.

The republican leaders in the House
have determined that at least $780,
100000 should be made available by
Congress during the next fiscal year
for good roads. This money is to be
expended under the provisions of the
good roads legislation hitherto enacted,
which calls for the expenditure by the
various states of dollar for dollar of
the amount put up by the federal gov
eminent.
The good roads movement through
out the country is on the increase. as
clearly shown by the results of the re-
cent elections. The people in many of
the states were called upon to vote
upon important highway measures, and
IN more than a dozen states the people
supported the proposals for increas ed
expenditures for the roads. Some of
The measures presented took the form
of constitutional amendments. and
others were enabling acts required by
constitutional provisions already ex-
listing. The action of the state legis-
iature will be required in some in
stances before bonds can be issued
States Favor Issues.
Among the states which supported
constitutional amendments for good
roads or enabling acts at the general
election were Virginia and West Vir-
ginia. In both of these states the
amount proposed to be raised through
bond issues for use on the roads was
$50. 100000. Other states which voted
favorably upon similar provisions and
the amounts they authorized were:
Colorado. $5.0o0,000; Idaho, 81, 000, 600
Kansas. $60,0O0,0O0; Minnesota, $780,
100000; Missouri. s60.O00.00O.

1927 100000 in the aggregate. The
country is alive to the need of roads
not only for the use of the motor cars
which have become SO common and
have revOlutionized travelling for SO
many people. but also to be used for
farms and of the factories. In three
states. however. proposals for bond
| issues for the roads were defeated
Florida, where $4,000. 900 was pro-
posed, turned down the bond issue
and Washington and Montana turned
down issues OF S30000,0OO and SIS
100000, respectively.
Proposals Picked out.
In a number of the states where
proposals were carried on the election
ballots for good roads, it was notice
able that the voters frequently select
ed these proposals for their approval
when they were set down in the midst
of a number of other proposed con-
stitutionaI changes against which the
people voted. The proponents of good
roads extensions are convinced that
the people, as a general thing, will
support any proposition where there
is a real need for the improvements

tenn has been worked out which will

DISTRIBUTION OF WEIGHT
PROBLEM OF AUTO DESIGN
Life of a Tire Proportional to the
Cube of the Load It
Supports.

One of the many problems met in
automobile design. that of weight dis
tribution. Is not the least important.
nor is it one that has received the
fullest measure of attention on the
part Of the designer, says a writer in
American Motorist.
Like all the tasks imposed by mod
ern automobile construction, weight
distribution must be largely a matter
of compromise. In this respect the
problem resembles that involved in
spring design, in which becomes evil
dent the difficulty of providing a
spring that will give full resiliency un-
that is loaded down to it's full rated
capacity. Similarly. weight distribu-
ton becomes somewhat complex
proposition when it is considered that
it is impossible to distribute the dead
weight of an automobile in such a
manner that the mechanical equili-
brium will not be interfered with when
one.
These questions, however. while in
teresting to the engineer. are Of less
Importance to the average automobile
user. except in the relation they bear
to his tire consumption. Here, too, 1t
Is impossible to strike a fair mean.
1t is out of the question to secure for
one tire as little wear as is encoun-
tered in the other. even though all four
tires be of uniform quality and struc-
ture. Even In a ear carrying the great
er part of it's weight in front the
greater wear is borne by the rear tires.
IL must be remembered in this con-
nection that the propulsion of q motor
vehicle differs from that Of the horse
drawn vehicle, in that the latter Is
pulled over the road while the former
Is pushed along by the tractive effort
transmitted to the rear or drive wheels.
In consequence of the driving stresses,
the rolling friction OF the road, and the
sippage that is absolutely unavoidable,
the tires of the rear wheels encounter
most OF the wear to which the automo-
bile tires are regularly subjected.
As far as the weight of the car it.
self is concerned, regardless of its dis
tribution. II is common experience that
the highest car produces the smallest
tire bills. The fact is that the life of
a tire IL proportional to the cube of
the load II supports SO that il the load
be doubled the average wear and tear
on the tire will be multiplied by eight.
There are other points worthy of at
tention in considering tire wear. some
OF them having 10 do with the manner
in which such units as power plant and
transmission are supported In some
constructions road shocks are more
readily absorbed by the framework and
suspension means, which accommodate
themselves more or less to the distor-
tons to which the inequalities of the
road surface give rise.

trary, 1t is believed in China that she

1t is freely predicted that the at

short most Chinese believe Japan
will act as a ''nullifier."
Japan's Great Chance
Another belief ofen voiced is that
beUwe now and the opening day of
the conference, Japan Will attempt to
influence China, or secretly dictate
to her what sne shall say and do at
Washington.
The attitude of the British in China
is that the fate of the Anglo-Japanese
Alliance is now in the balance and it
will depend entirely on Japan'S con-
duct at the Washington conference
whether or not it will be renewed.
All here-Americans, British and
an great chance to make or break
herself.
between now and the end of the
conference, it is predicted the decis-
i've clash between Japanese militar-
lists and liberals will come and that,
in a large measure, the fate of the
conference itself will depend upon
the result.
Liberals May Win
1t is not considered necessary that
ment at Toxic for the liberals to win.
If Japan's progressives can bring suf-
ficient pressure to bear on the pres
ent government to cause the Japan
csc delegates to Washington to adopt
a conciliatory attitude, the success OF
the conference, it is believed, will be
assured. ~
TO the contrary, II the mllltarlSts
continue to dominate in japanese
councils, according to almost univer-
the consequence.

anese politics is the economic ques

needs.
ITO this we owe the unhealed sore
of Shantung, the Military Pact, the
unappeasable hatred of the Chinese
for their neighbors over the Japan
Sea and the deplorable suspicion with
which Japanese policy in the Far
East has come SO widely to be
viewed
Day Of Reckoning
THE nations have still great
many problems on their hands nearer
home and the Far East remains
fairly clear field for Japan's militar-
lists.
But sooner or later the day of rec
koning will come. and it is a question
for Japan whether she will await
that day, or gain the credit of taking
spontaneously the more liberal atti-
tude which an ever-increasing num-
Der of her best minds have already
mapped out as the only enduring
foundation of peace in the Far East"

ed the writer quoted above, that pol
son is being dropped into the ears of
some of the Chinese newspapers to
set them against the conference.
1--WE do not believe there is any diff
ficulty so great that frankness and
the spirit of give and take will not
overcome it.
THAT is the spirit in which the
delegates from the western nations
will go to Washington. We cannot
