Ready Response
Given to Grade
Crossing Move

That a general endorsement is to
be given the steps taken toward
eliminating dangerous grade cross
ings on the highways throughout
the southern part Of the state. is
indicated by scores of letters from
prominent motorists received at the
offices Of the Auto Club of South
ern California.
Chamber Of Commerce already
have endorsed the movement for i'm
mediate action, and other civic or
ganizations throughout the various
counties are falling into line, ac-
cording to club officials.
1t is pointed out that more than
public sentiment is needed to bring
the matter TO a crisis, in order TO
prevent further loss Of life at grade
crossings, and, according to n state
ment just issued from the Auto
club, this organization will con
tinue TO take a leading part in max
ing the death-dealing crossings Il
feature of the past.
Boards Of supervisors throughout
the counties have received a copy
Of the resolutions recently passed
by the clubs board of directors,
and action is pending through this
part Of the state.

Good news fer all auto owners
who are planning their camping,

California is contained in an an
nouncement made today from tie

These maps include northeastern

just where you will find duck,
quail geese, trout and deer is
shown plainly on the new club
maps. Stations for pack animals,
butter and eggs, and boats are also
shown. in addition to this infcr.
nation, the motorist can see at q
glance Just what roads will take
him TO the various sporting dis
tricts, and the national forest re-
serves are clearly indicated.
These new maps, which are Of
the folding variety, can be obtained
at any office of the Auto club
throughout the territory, from San

new LAW MAY
MAKE TROUBLE
FOR MOTORISTS
Auto Club Warns Drivers
to Learn Rules of
Road

Only few days more than
month remain before the provisions
of the new motor vehicle act 90
into effect, governing the operation
of motor cars in California.
Motorists should make every cf.
fort, say officials of the Auto Club
Of Southern California to acuuaint
themselves with such provisions as
mean radical change over the law
which governed motoring last year.
As an instance o. some of the
things all should learn before Sep
tembcr lSt, when the act becomes
effective, is the fact that the new
act provides that hand signals in
dicating turn can be given onlv
from the left-hand side of the car
in the future.
If motorists are operating 4 car
which has the steering wheel on the
right-hand side, it is probable that
some provision will have to he made
FOR adequate signally from the left
hand side. But it is pointed out
that the majority os cars now-a
days arc left-hand drives.
1t is Indicated that under the
new motor vehicle Act more rigid
enforcement of the correct hand
signals will be noticed.
sion is that in which it is pointed
out that all vehicles must keep or
cut that al vehicles must keep on
the right hand side of the road
while travelliHg-and in addition
to this, they must keep on the
! right hand side of the right hand
! side Of the road.
Previously il has been the rule,
| points out the Auto Club, that slow
moving vehicles must keep to the
right of the right-hand side, but
under the new act, every, vehicle,
| either slow or fast, must-when-
ever practicable-kesp well over
toward the right.
This is excepting, of course, when
If is necessary to pass another
vehicle, or TO turn out for some
distinctions. 1t is very possible
and even probable that a number
Of arrests will take place under the
new law, of the 'hoggish type
of motorist, who proceeds down the
/ middle of the street or road and
will not move over to right to allow
| other vehicles to pass. This will
have a very good effect in the
! mountains where it is necessary to
pass, but where many bull-headed
motorists refuse to move over and
let the more rapid machine go by.

FIVE DIFFERENT
ARRANCEM ENTS
OF AUTO BRAKES

There are no fewer than five
different arrangements of brakes in
use today:
Foot brake on transmission, hand
brake on rear wheels.
Hand brake on tranmission, foot
brake on rear wheels.
Both brakes on re9, wheels.
Hand brakes on one rear wheel,
foot brake on the other.
Brakes on all four wheels.
Before comparing one with the
other, there are two points to which
very careful attention should be
given. The first point is that
while the brake at the back of
the gear box is very close to the
point of application, be it hand or
foot, so that there is very little
spring in the connections, vet the
road wheel brake, rear or front, is
a comparatively long way off, caus-
ing, possibly, considerable spring in
the connections, particularly if Il
shaft across the chassis be used for
connecting the two. Certainly there
is less spring if whiffletree compen-
sation is used on many Amer
lean ears, but the cross shaft with
or without comprnsating gear is the
commonest practice in this country.
ln1s sprlng III the one ease, and
rigidly in the other, is a very i'm
portant consideration.
The second point is that the re-
tarding efficiency of the brakes
assuming that they are applied NJ
to the limit at which wheel slip is
on the point of commencing, is de
pendent solely on the proportion
of the whole weight of the vehicle
which is carried by the wheels to
which the brakes are applied. The
tipping effect of brake application
must also be dealt with. BY that
is meant the transference of weight
from the rear wheels to the front
wheels, thus further reducing tht
adhesion of the rear wheels, and
therefore the effectiveness of the
brakes when applied to the reaI
whheels only. This tr&nsfcrcnce Is
dependent on the ratio of the height
of the centre of gravity of the
vehicle above the ground to the
wheelbase-that is to say, in short
high car it may be serious, though
in a long low one it is negligible.
