FOUR-WHEEL BRAKES AID
DIRECTION OF TRAFFIC
Ability to Stop More Quickly
Found Preventive of Acct
dents in Streets.

How the adoption of four-wheel
brakes Will aid traffic officers in the
performance of their duties by
solving their most serious problem
was brought to light by local au-
t"mobile dealer i'm relating a recent
personal experience.
In passing through Baltimore on his
way To Philadelphia. capt. Harry NJ.
ing the sign to stop just as he was
about TO cross. Hardly had the officer
turned the sign than he realized he
had overlooked Horton. and, being
'onfuSed. reversed the sign again.
The other driver. having started to
cross as first directed, made a frantic
effort to stop quickly. but the element
of danger was passed since Horizons
car was equipped with the new type
OF brakes and could stop Instantly
The officer, finding that an acci-
dent had been averted by reason of
the safety feature of the new brakes
took moment to relate the difficulty
traffic officer has in being able to
toll accurately just when he can af-
ford 10 turn the sign against drivers.
1t develops that much of the DELAY
in traffic is due tn the wide margin
of safety which officers must provide
for in the operation of the Stop-go
sign. When they are able to give
orders IN quicker succession without
danger OF accident. il is contendcd

BAGDAD AUTO ROUTE
SOON TO BE OPENED
Line Will Run From Haifa Across
Persian Desert-Fifteen Days
From New York.

The g-cherished idea of a quick
land route from the Mediterranean to
Bagdad and India soon will be
realized With the establishment of
proposed automobile line from
Haifa across the Persian desert to
the journey from New York to Bag
dad in fifteen days.
The Nairn Transportation Company,
headed by Norman ID. Nairn, former
officer of the British army. proposes
to open up this new route with regu-
lar service on October 1.
= Mr.. Nairn, who was in America for
several days. recently, has sailed for
London. He says he plans to make
the automobile trip across the desert,
run of $50 miles, in less than twelve
hours.
The first crossing of the desert by
an automobile was accomplished by
Mr.. Nairn on April l. Since then he
cars were used
Mr.. Nairn said. that. in addition to
the mail concession, his company has
contract with Mahomet Ibn Bassim,
one of the oldest and best known
traders In Arabia, who has assured
them of the cooperation of the Arab
tribes. In addition to this, the Anglo
Persian oil Company has hundreds
of representatives moving through
that territory. He plans to transport
only three passengers in a car at a
time. The cars are being built espe-
cially for desert service, with extra
petrol tanks, and arrangements have
been made for carrying food and
water

AUTO TRUCKS HAUL
BIG FREIGHT TOTAL
Years Tonnage Greater
Than so Per Cent of Rail-
roads Figures for Year.

CHICAGO. August 1I,-Motor trucks
last year carried. for hauls of various
lengths, tonnage greater than 80
per cent of that of all railroads COM
bined, declared James Il. Howard.
president of the National Transporta-
tion institute. in a conference of state
highway commissioners here. Co
ordination of motor truck and rail-
road transportation offers one of the
best opportunities for immediate re-
lief of some pressing freight traffic
problems. he said.
Motor truck transportation is
highly developed and ready to clean
up an important percentage of the
short haul business of the country"
said Mr.. Howard. 1T would seem ad-
visable for the railroads to test the
use of motor trucks for short haul
traffic The bulk of motor truck
transportation is under fifty miles in
eastern territory
The motor truck is already estab-
llshed as the Indispensable auxiliary
at terminals. In Cincinnati the rail-
roads are using motor trucks TO
handle freight to avoid switching cars
from one road to another. st. Louis
has an extensive motor truck aux
iliary freight system. 1t is quite
possible that terminals may be moved
out from congested centers and the
long haul freight delivered from them
rapidly and economically by trucks
to store and factory doors. Freight
terminals in great cities have reached
the point at which some new means
must be found to relieve congestion.
This is a case for cooperation. not
competition, between railroads and
motor truck transportation. Rail
roads have complained that motor
truck competition is unfair. as the
motor trucks run on free highways.
Class l railroads paid $500. 600 900 in
taxes last year. while autOmotive
transportation paid special taxes of
$4,000. 600. There are 265.O0O miles
of railroad in this country. against
about 100000 miles of hard surfaced
public highway. 1t is Imperative in
the public interest that all these miles
OF railroad and highway be used to
the best advantage Equitable tax
alton is a problem that can be solved -

ASK SPEED LIMITS

Maryland Motorists Believe

Local Prosecution.

Washington motorists will doubt

good roads board of the Automobile
Maryland cities and the highways Of
the state generally be marked in such
way as to warn motorists of speed
laws.
1t has been suggested that city au-
thorities paint on the various streets
at certain intervals the warning:
Speed limit fifteen miles an hour"
and that the highway department do
likewise on all of the highways of the
state generally.
The board of the Automobile Club
of Maryland feels that the average
motorist does not intend to violate
the law. but in many instances does
SO by reason of ignorance. A motor

dollars annually, and would greatly

the conventional honk, honk. without
getting the least bit Of satisfaction
from pedestrians crossing behind the
car is a common occurrence And a

horns-even used ones are available
at low priceS-Which do very well for
n rear warning. One car owner at

rear floor boards, covered il with
waterproof material, and operated it

TESTING FOR SLACK.
Backlash Can Be Determined b,
lacking Up Wheels.

Testing for slack, or backlash. in
the rear drive of the car is only a
matter of jacking up each rear wheel
placing the car in gear and turning
the wheels as far as they will GO
At the thread of the tires each wheel
ought to move through an arc of
about an inch. If it moves through a
greater arc either the universals are
worn or the pinion gear needs to be
meShed closer. Tho wheels NAV also
be loose on the aXles. Each wheel is
lacked up independently. with the op-
posite one on the ground. so as to
eliminate considera tion of the diff
ferential.
The easiest and best way to clean
a windshield is to wipe it off with a
wet chamois and rub dry with a
clean cloth. A little kerosene in the
water will help if the glass is very
dirty. This method of cleaning glass
is to be recommended for closed cars
as it does not scratch.

TESTING OF BRAKES.
Best to Try Them Before Entering
Towns

Have you ever noticed how less ef-
fectively brakes work when you have
not used them for several miles?
This usually happens when it is nec
cssary to make the first quick stop in
a town one is passing through on
trip. 1t is dangerous, because such
partial failure of the brakes is unex-
pected.
One explanation is that the brake
lining becomes glazed through dis
use, the constant but light rubbing of
the drums against its surface serving
10 produce a polish.
The best plan is to use the brakes
several times just before entering a
1own. so when really needed they will
work properly.
