GOOD ROADS HELD KEY
TO SCHOOL EQUALITY
Week Used by Motorist
Association to Stress idea
Upon Nation.

Equality Of opportunity in educa-
tion for every American boy and girl
Is afforded by good roads.
This thought is stressed by the
National Motorists Association, who
has been called upon to assist in
making American Education week a
success, beginning December 3. The
United States bureau OF education.
Education Association are behind this
movement and President Harding has
issued a proclamation calling for a

tional director OF the American
Legion. expressing his appreciation
of the support being given the three
national organizations and the n. NJ.
A., stresses the important part which
motorists could and should play
in promoting education and Ameri-
canism.
He points out that without good
roads and the proper use of the motor
vehicle. the federal government could
not successfully carry out some of the
duties imposed upon 1t by statute.
Mr.. Powell suggests that, as a result
of improved highways. the people are
brought in closer touch with business.
social, educational and governmental
affairs. that the rural free delivery
service is made possible and those on
farms and in far-away places are no
longer compelled to live a life of
isolation.

BALTIMORE, December AUTO
mobilists will be permitted to ''hit it
up" to thirty-five miles an hour on
the new Falls road boulevard, a
thorOughfare just completed by the
state roads commission to provide a
direct route for through traffic from
the northern section Of the city and

John n. Mackall has his way.
The new thoroughfare, which
parallels Maryland and Pennsylvania
railroad tracks. Is about five miles
In length. 1t Is not much OF scenic

getting somewhere in a hurry than

I'm in favor of letting automo-

'In my opinion there should be no

to the casualty rate of the city, which
is now much too high. Mr.. MackalI's
suggestion that police be KEEP: off

With as many crank drivers as there

The grade-crossing- elimination cam

The goal to be sought in this cam.

Galley. executive secretary Of the Ma

continued:
while the absence Of enforcement
legislation in the various states and
the great financial cost involved to
railroads In making changes must be
, taken into consideration. yet the con-
slant menace to highway travel
caused by such crossings means there
must be no let-up in activities along

SAVING THE CAR
FROM WINTER ILLS
Care Of Polish, Engine and
Battery Vital in Cold
Months.

Protecting the finish of a highly
polished car and conserving the heat
energy generated by the motor are
two highly important things to any
motorist. according to r. K. Jack.
chief engineer Of the Olds Motor
Works.
Another highly important feature
Of winter driving Is the care Of the
storage battery in the car
The finish of car may be exposed
to serious damage during winter, due
to the fact that mud and water frozen
on the paint dull the finish and cause
the paint to chip. During the winter
months extreme care should be taken
to keep the finish free from dirt Con-
trary to popular belief. hot water
should not be used in cleaning a car,
as 1t Is equally as injurious as mud
and ice. If 1t Is not possible to take
the car into warm place for wash
ing. where the ice will thaw and can
be easily removed. luke warm water
may be used without injury to the
finish.
Heat Vital Factor.
Heat is one of the all-important
factors in winter driving. During the
summer months the average driver
has little trouble wi tn getting his
motor warm enough to operate
Ing the winter it is difficult for some
cars to warm the motor enough to in
sure this efficient operation.
AS a result gasoline passes by the
pistons and gets into the crank case;
the gasoline does not give its maxi
mum power and the oil is not heated
to such point where it will lubricate
the bearings and gears as 1t Is in
tended to do.
Cover IL Aid.
This passing of gasoline to the
crank case may be considerably re-
duced by the use Of radiator shut
ter or cover for keeping the engine
may be left standing out Of doors or
IN unheated garages. Numerous de-
vices are being marketed for this
purpose, ranging from waterproof
covering to an automatic control
shutter. A hand-operated shutter
ing the heat of the engine to a very
great extent and Is very economical
to install can be purchased from any
reliable accessory dealer. There are
also on the market several devices
which are quickly and easily installed
Battery Important Feature.
The storage battery of a car Is an
au-important feature of the opera
ton and one too frequently neglected.
Care should be taken at tho start of
the cold weather to see that it is
properly charged. Any service sta
ton will be glad to give you this in
formation.
During the winter months, due to
the short days, the lights Of a car are
used a great deal more than in sum
mer. The starter. also. Is used con-
siderably in getting the car running.

BALTIMORE, December g.
Automobiles are increasing by

Baltimore than the total number
Of horse drawn vehicles left. ac-

There are 10000 more automo-
biles here than there were last

icles. And while Baltimoreans
may justly resent the imputation

able to do SO long.
There are at present 8.11S vehi-
cles drawn by horses in the city.

mately 900 from last years total

Hard to Fill Demand.
"In fact, the difficulty of getting
enough closed bodies to meet the de-
mand will be one of the limiting fac
tors in 1923. 1t is true that there
are many in the market who prefer
the open type of vehicle. but the
trend of favor is toward the inclosed
models.
: "The continued growth and record
output of the industry in 1922. which
has astOunded some. may be account
ed for by the fact that motor trans
port meets Il fundamental human
need for individual means of travel.
and by the fact that manufacturers
readjusted prices promptly and di-
rectly to the ultimate consumer, so
that motor vehicle values today are
the best that have ever been offered.
