The West End and Dupont Circle
Citizens associations today are at

As q consequence Of the misunder-

will carry its fight to the Federation

Dupont body is encroaching upon the
West Ends zone and that the Dupont
association was admitted to the fed
Grafton without the latter giving con.
sideration to the West Enders in the
matter.
The West End association last

AUTO HEAD WOULD
EQUIP ALL TRUCKS
With REFLECTORS
M. O. Eldridge, A. A. A.
Road Director, Asks
Uniform Traffic Laws.

Accidents on the highways could
be greatly decreased by the passage
Of uniform State laws requiring
every truck to carry a mirror, CIV
ing a view of the road Immediately
to the rear. and requiring every
horse-drawn vehicle, as we'll as au-
tomobiles. to display some sort Of
light when using the roads at night.
This is the opinion of NJ. o. Ell
bridge. director of roads of the
American Automobile Association.
after making a careful digest of the
traffic law OF all the States of the
Union. Mr.. Eldridge, in a report to
the Secretary of Commerce sets
forth that thirteen states have laws
requiring the mirror on trucks. but
that very few have any regula tion
for horse-drawn vehicles. The
states requiring mirrors on trucks
are Vermont. Washington. Cali
fornia. Connecticut, New York. In
diana, Kentucky. Maryland. Massa-
chusetts. Michigan. Missouri, New
Jersey and the District of Columbia.
Motor trucks need mirrors as
they travel at a slower rate of
speed than passenger cars. and the
noise of the engine completely
browns out, in many instances. the
horn of the motorist behind, who is
blowing for the road" said Mr.. Ell
bridge. often truck drivers will
swerve about the time the passen-
ger car is about to pass. and this
means an accident. As for the light
on a horse drawn vehicle. the need
Tor II Is obvious. as a motorist. COM
ing up behind such a vehicle and
perhaps blinded by the headlights
of a car coming from the opposite
direction, cannot see the horse
drawn vehicle until he is right on
II. believe that uniform State
laws on these two subjects will go
FAR toward decreasing the number
OF accidents which take daily toll
OF life, and the A. A. A. will do all
in its power to aid in obtaining such
laws"

The short-measure gasoline
artist must go.
This form of hold-up. the de-
livery of less gas than is paid for,
has reached such proportions
throughout the United States that
it can be stopped only by inten-
sive and concerted action and by
taking radical steps. The National
Motorists Association has set it
self to the task of remedying this
evil.
Recent tests with gd-detect-
ing devices. carefully made under
official auspices. principally in
Cleveland. Louisville and Kansas
City. Mo. by representatives of
automobile clubs affiliated with the
n. NJ. A. developed the astounding
fact that out of number of pur-
chases of gas in five-gallon lots
there was shortage running
from one to three pints each in
over so per cent of the tests made.
1t is gratifying to note. however,
that in one large city where a
considerable number of tests were
made short measure was reported
in but one or two cases.

MAXWELL CHIEFS

E. A.. Nelson, Former

Made Chief Engineer.

That the Maxwell Motor Corpora
tion, under the guidance of William
Robert Wilson. president, had built
up most complete and we'll
equipped engineering personnel has
been known to the industry for
many months. L. c. Freeman, ex-
ecutive engineer of the corporation.
makes an interesting announcement
this week regarding promotions in
his division.
Mr.. Freeman has appointed E. A.
Nelson chief engineer, directly re-
sponsible to him for the work of
( the engineering branches Claude
Sauzedde has been made assistant
chief enrineer in charge of the de-
signing department. with supervision
over chassis. body. and equipment
designing. while II. E. Maynard Is
the new assistant chief engineer in
charge of all the technical sections
of the departments. John Squires
was made assistant to the chief on
gineer in charge of the administra>
tive work.
Mr.. Nelson's responsibility with
| the Hupmobile people over a
period of years. and Mr.. Sauzedde's
work with General Motors, Stude-
baker. and Dodge Brothers are
well-kno~n. Mr.. Maynard's long
connection with the Maxwell inter-
ests makes him invaluable to both
engineering and manufacturing de-
partments. with this variety of ex-
perience. the Maxwell is guaranteed

that these appointments are in
recognition of the ability and en-
ergy displayed by the men during

sued at the instance of N. NJ. A.
officials. The spotlight of publicity
will continue to be thrown upon
the practice to a point where the
motorist, warned of the danger,
will be on the alert to the end
that he is not victimized.
II is estimated that each of the
100000 motorists of the United
States buys two gallons of gas a
day. On the basis of a shortage
of two pints to every FIVE gallons
this would mean that filching is
going on daily to the tune of L.
900. 900 gallons. Fixing an average
price of rs cents for the product
this shortage If reduced to terms
of money would represent a loss
to the motoring public of s250.000
per day OF S90.0O0.0O0 a year. which
is more money than Is now appro-
priated annually by the Federal
government for good roads.
How Tests Are Made.
The tests being made usually
cover a period of several days
and are taken by means of a spe-
cially-e equipped automobile. Pur-
chases are put in a special tank.
An official five-gallon measure,
with a device to. record shortages,
is carried with other apparatus in
an official city truck which is kept
out of sight around the corner
Purchases are followed by imme-
diate tests to determine the actual
quantity of gasoline in the special
tank.
No evidence has been found that
the fraud is countenanced by the
oil companies. and in fact offers OF
assistance are being received from
such companies.
1t is but natural that in this
connection the question should be
asked, why should a shortage al
ways result when pumps get out
of order?" II the fault is entirely
mechanical 1t seems logical to be-
lieve that it would result just as
often in the pumps giving over
measure. In other words. it is
suggested when a pump slips out
of order il should not always slip
in favor of the filling station.

.lOO,O0O,0OO POUNDS
COPPER WILL Be
UTILIZED IN AUTOS
Amount Is One-third In
crease Over that Used
In 1921.

Approximately 100. 5000 pounds
of copper will be utilized this year
in the manufacture of automobiles
in this country, according to a sur
vey just completed by the Copper
and Brass Research Association
This is an increase of 30,O00,0OC
pounds over 1921 and about 100000
pounds more than 1920. in which
latter year the automobile industry
consumed 1853 per cent of the total
copper production.
Commenting on. the use of copper
in the automotive industry, the sur
vey says, in part:
Comment on Use of Copper.
In prewar days, particularly since
the time when the automobile def
nitely emerged from the luxury
class, the demand was in excess OF
the supply. Consequently there was
practically no incentive to cheaper
material costs, and copper, brass
and bronze were widely used in
construction. where their properties
according to the best principles OF
machine design, established by gen.
erations of engineering experience
made them of service.
During the war years an abnor'
NAL condition arose. The price oi
copper increased. it's use was re.
stricted to nonessential industries
and the automobile manufacturer
was forced to substitute inferior
metals.
In 1919, with removal of wartime
restrictions. copper was still rela.
lively high, and the automobile
manufacturer continued this prac-
tice of substitution. During the
period of initiation after the armis-
tice there was tremendous In
crease of manufacturing facilities
in order to keep up with the in.
creasing demand for automobiles.
Buyers strike I'm 1920.
Then came the buyers strike" in
1920. The demand for automobiles
dwindled and i'm an effort to revive
snles manufacturer Wed with man.
ufacturer in successive price cuts.
Under insistent pressure of low
costs automobile manufacturers
turned their attention first to the
more expensive metal-copper. and
carried still further the principle OF
substitution. first generally estab.
lished during the war years.
Substitution took many forms
among them being sheet-iron water
tanks in place of brass or copper
malleable or cast-iron water line
fittings in place of brass: cast-iror
carbureter bowls in place of brass
die-rfst babbit main bearings and
crank pin bearings in place oil
bronze backed babbit
other substitutions were cast
iron bushings in place of bronze ir
cam shaft bearings, rocker arm
bearings, spring-ey shack'e-bolts
brake equalizers, etc. I'm many
