Massachusetts, Tail Light Law

Interest is being manifested on
the part of motorists in the new
tail-light legislation which goes
into effect in Massachusetts in jan
uary. The measure provides, among
other things. that NO rear lamp
shall be used upon any motor We
hicle so operated unless approved
by the registrar. Application for
the approval of a rear lamp. accom-
panied by fee of $50. may be made
to the registrar by any manufac-
turer thereof or dealer therein"
Thus precedent is established
which should have been looked after
before the birth of the N. NJ A.
Why the neces sity of a charge Of
$50, which. of course while small, is
betrayed by the consumer. the mo-
torist. but where does the money
go-for good roads? q
The N. NJ. A. will investigate this,
also any other problems that might
assume a national precedent.

general sales manager of the Cad

The automobile duty has been
reduced to Is per cent. but elastic
powers are accorded the President
And. II conditions warrant. this
could be increased by one-half

Naughton. Thus the American
manufacturers will be accorded an
equality in foreign countries that
will enable them to retain the DOM
inant share of the world automo-
tive trade.
Sees Reciprocity.
For instance. France. noting
that duty on her cars has been re-
duced IS per cent. will undoubtedly
reduce her duty. which amounts tc
IS per cent on American cars. Italy
has been collecting IS per cent plus
a duty based on weight, ranging
from so to 120 liras per 100 kilos
There Is no doubt lowering of the
italian duty will take place, once
We take the initial step.
IF some manufacturing countries
are unwilling to allow a duty a,
low as IS per cent on American We.
hicles in return for an equally low
rate on its automobiles brought
into the United States. steps could
be taken to have a higher rate. ur

Likewise the new arrangement

II there IL any class OF men. that
should be thoroughly familiar with
motor car construction and the rel
ative merits Of different motor cars.
It should certainly be IN the pro-
fession that IL accustomed to check
ing automobile performances under
the most trying conditions, and
even stalking life and limb on the
soundness of a cars construction.
This being a fact. there is much
significance in the discovery that at
least Ave internationally known
racing men are connected with the
production and marketing Of the
Liberty SIX. built by the Liberty
Motor Car Company of Detroit.
Perhaps the best, known Of these.
among the great racing drivers OF
recent years. is Joe Boyer. the dar-
ing young pilot from Detroit.
Boyer is a man of independent
means. who engaged in race driving
purely for the sport of II, and won
fame through his many spectacular
exploits on the tracks, particularly
at the Indianapolis speedway, where
his sensational driving is vividiy
remembered. He Is now a member
OF the firm of Miller-Judd. Inc. Lib
erty distributors for the State OF
Michigan.
Arthur Hill is another name IA
miliar to the racing world. As man
ager Of the famous Hudson racing
team which included such famous
pilots as Dario Resta and Ira Vail
Hill accomplished a successful rae
ing campaign. He Is now genera
manager of the business of the New
York Liberty Distributor.
Frank Bishop, the Liberty dis.
tributor at st. Louis. earned a Justly
deserved fame as the capable han
dler of Eddie Hearne when tina,
driver was treating pilots all ovel
the country to a disappearing view
of his exhaust pipe. c. B. Smith
who handles the Liberty in Sai
Francisco. only a few years ag,
was one of the most feared driver,
in the keen competition of tn,
Western tracks. He is the man whc
won the famous 150-mile SAINT;
Monica road race in 1910 and agar
In 1919. Smith was entered II
thirty-two of the big speed event,
| of his day, and carried of frs
prize money in twenty-seven oi
them.
Possibly less well known as 4
racing driver. but with a high plact
in the industry won through hi
later successes. is Percy owen. th'
organizer and president of the Lib.
| erty company. The development oi
the motor car business has been sc
rapid that many of the heroes Of
the early years have been forgotten
but many of the old timers will re-
member when the country rant
with tales of the young driver who
in his famous winton pup smashed
records right and left in 1901 an'
1902. Owen at that time was tn
worlds champion for all distancei
up to ten miles. There were thei
| few speed events of longer dis
tances, and those that did take plac
were usually won, not by the ca
that developed the greatest speed
but by the one that would hold to
| gether for the total distance. TIL,
terrifying velocity of 55 to so mile
| per hour was SUFFICIENT to earn Mr.
owen the title of worlds champion
And even that speed. in the me
chanical contraptions Of his day
required a skill and daring tina
would send a chill up the spine o
many present-day daredevils.

will introduce it in a spirit of en-
tire friendliness and with the de-

safer for motorists and pedestrians
alike in wet weather.
Thus far the problem of construct
ing and maintaining a smooth nom
skid road has baffled the skill OIL
the engineer. The only nonskid
roadways in the country today are
those constructed of brick or blocks
of granite or other similar material.
Such roadways are nonskid. but they
wear rough generally in short time
and when in that condition are not
conductive to smooth riding.
Problems Complicated.
