MOTOR INDUSTRY.
FIGHTS ACCIDENTS
National Auto Chamber of
Commerce Safety Plans for
Year Announced.

Unlimited effort will be expended
by the automobile industry to reduce
traffic accidents during the coming
year.
The traffic planning and safety COM
mittee Of the National Automobile
Chamber Of Commerce announces that
as a result OF its meeting held in
Detroit last week a program has
been formulated for 1924 which prom
ises to reduce highway accidents in
the next twelve months.
The automobile chamber has been
active i'm the safety movement for a
number of years, particularly in call
ing for punishment of the reckless
Emotorist, and constructtvely in en-
couragins safety education in the
The present committee aims to am
plify this work and to carry on q
comprehensive program which will
attack the various causes of acci-
dents.
Plan National Rasearch.
The first step of the committee is
the planning of a nationwide re-
search to determine what are the
major causes. When these are deter
mined vigorous effort will be made
toward the adoption Of remedies.
The industry has a deep interest in
the safe and efficient operation OF
motor transportation. 1t believes
that through research and public in
terest highway casualties can be con-
siderably reduced and the regulation
OF traffic more effectively managed
This program will not attempt to
compete with or supersede constructive
safety work now being undertaken by
various competent agencies.

REAR CAR SEES DEFECTS.
Motorist Can Learn Much From
Driver Behind Him.

The path behind your car is not the
closed book you imagine it to be. In
your wake one finds much that can
be construed as a warning Of trouble
or expense you are going to suffer
sooner or later.
Only those behind you can note the
wobbly hind wheels of your car, the
fiat tires and the stiff springs. The
man behind observes the smoke from
your exhaust, condition which may
be an indication of too rich a car
buretor mixture or an engine that
has begun to pump oil. He Is the
one who notices your habit of spin
ming the wheels when you apply the
brakes. At night he is the man who
notices the sparks shooting from the
exhaust-an indication OF a. carbon.
choked motor. And he is the party
who smells the burning brakes.

HOT ENGINE AIDS START.

Always do your hard work with
the engine while II is hot and leave
the easy jobs for the car when the
power plant is cold. This means that
the car should always be left in such
position that it can be moved with
least effort. II. for instance the mo-
torist leaves the car on hill he
should head it downward; it's easier
for the motor when he starts off
again. In snow, mud, or deep sanu
make a little track for the car to pull
out while the engine is warm; later.
when you start off again, the engine
will have less to do and is far less
likely to burn out a bearing.

! AKRON, Ohio. December 29.-That
five sizes of balloon tires will effec-
tiYely meet the needs of the entire
automotive industry is the conclus-
sion of Rubber Association executives
during the past season.
AS officials of the Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Company point out, it was
early realized the introduction Of bal
loon tires will complicate the line of
tire sizes. already rather large, so an
effort has been made to limit produc-
tion of the new type TO the fewest
number Of sizes that will adequately
take care OF the requirements of
different sized automobiles.
The Rubber Association now rec
cation on these five sizes be definitely
adopted for their future production.
The two smaller sizes, according to
| this plan, will be built to At a twenty
one-inch wheel only. The six-inch bal

may become a common request of
small car owners to dealers when bal
loon tires become popular. because
these new type tires are to be desig-
! mated by different symbols than are
used in labelling the regular type of

! mer asks for 4.40-21 he will get a

to MT this size. In other words. a
4.40-e1 balloon tire is a 4.4-inch cross
! section diameter tire for a 21-inch
diameter wheel and a 31T Inch rim.
Months of experimentation and care

of various car manufacturers has re-
solved the balloon tire question down

4.40-21. 5.25-21, 6.20-21, 5000 and

ways Of Replacement.
How will these balloon tires replace

by 4.40-21 balloons, while the 5.2521

 Sir Auckland said prohibition on the whole has been effective in the rural districts but less effective on the Eastern seaboard and vicinity of the Great Lakes, where powerful organizations of smugglers effected a regular traffic.
 Sir Auckland declared he had been informed that home making liquor was on the decline on account of the poisonous qualities of the product He said an increase had been com puted at 40 per cent. in savings ac- counts since prohibition had been eff. fective.

 The complaint of discrimination was made by R. c. Southworth. pub ltsher of the Nenana News. South worth said he would file with the Secretaries tsfor1natfon supporting his charge. f
 Secretary Hoover expressed belief that the Interstate Commerce Com mission might have jurisdiction under Q provision of the law covering un- fair practices of competition between common carriers in that the White Pass & Yukon Route travels 20 miles through Alaskan territory, be- tween Skagway and Whitehorse.
 If discrimination was stopped, Southworti. said, many passengers would s'entef inner Alaska by the Yukon river route and he charged travellers were at present discouraged by the Canadian authorities, who otherwise would use that route and contribute to the business of the Al aska Railroad which connects with waterway transportation at Nenana.

 These are boys who have. fo- the most part, been reared under easy circumstances and who have never been required to view life seriously. Such students have a distinctly childish attitude towards their classroom work. have no in- tellectual interests, no definite am Ditions. no sense of responsibility. In most of these cases, as might be expected, high-school preparation has been superficial and made quate."
 Illness, family troubles, and finan- cial worries are among other caus- es leading to students being put on probation.
