pal needs, namely. development Of the

day evening made aspersonal a. tour of
existing parks and the territory of
proposed extensions.
He, indicated today that he looks
upon the acquisition of park sites as
safe investments.
Can Sell Land.
You cannot very well go wrong" said
the Commissioner, because If land is
bought for a park and later develop
ments make 1t unnecessary you can
always dispose of it,
The major displayed keen interest
in the proposed connection of the
Rock Creek and Potomac parkways,
whlch mas been under way Tor num-
ber of years. He also showed him.
self familiar with the effort that has
been going on for a number of years
for the purchase of the Klingle
Valley, Piney Branch and Patterson
tracts.
New Traffic Lane.
The new Commissioner views the
linking of Rock Creek and Potomac
parks as an aid to traffic conditions
as well as a park drive. He pointed
out that it would afford a new traffic
lane to the downtown section from
the rapidly growing northwest
suburbs.
AS to high pressue fire mains, the
Commissioner is seeking to find out
whether 1t would be wiser to go
ahead with that project or seek more
and better. equipment for the fire de-
partment first.
Commissioner Bell is handling the
new estimates of the engineer depart
ment in most systematic manner
After reading the requests of a de-
partment he goes in person to that
departments offices and gets first
hand information as to the need for
each item.

SAFE STOP DEPENDS
ON DRIVER OF AUTO
In Tests IS Feet Has Been
Fixed as Minimum Distance.
Takes one-Half of Second for Ex-
perienced Man to. Sense an
Emergency Before He Begins
to Apply His Brakes.

What is the shortest distance re-
CURED to stop your car going at a
certain speed in an emergency?
The answer to this, in the opinion
of e. W. Weaver. Cleveland engineer,
depends on two things:
First-Condition of brakes and the
road surface.
Second-Time required for the
driver to sense an emergency before
applying the brakes.
OF these conditions the second is
most important, says Weaver. Tests
have set certain minimum distances
for stopping, based on knowledge of
brakes and road surfaces, in relation
TO the various speeds of the motor
car.
For instance. sc feet has been fixed
as the minimum distance required 20
stop car with good brakes, going 80
miles an hour on a dry level road.
With poor brakes on a slippery road,
the distance is 208 feet.
But the human element must also
be considered, says Weaver. He fig
ures it takes One-half second for an
experienced driver to sense an emer-
gency before he begins to apply the
brakes. In this one-half second Of
time, at a speed of 80 miles an hour,
the car win have gone % feet.
Therefore, in stopping an automo-
bile from a speed of 80 miles an
hour. for example, the total distance
required would be 10S feet. with good
brakes and a dry, level road; 2s0
feet, with poor brakes and ii slippery
road.
Other distances can be judged with
the aid of the chart Weaver has pre-
pared. dependent on the cars speed
and the drivers own alertness in
sensing the emergency.

DEFECTIVE TUBE RUINS TIRE
Owner Has Greater Assurance of Full
and Satisfactory Service From
Good Casing.

defective tube will ruin the hest
tire. Just as it's the heart that keeps
the body going, so it's the tube that
keeps the casing up. A man would
certainly not select a weak heart be-
cause it was cheap. but would want
the best. SO the motorist should pur-
chase the tube that will best prolang
the life of the casing. The better the
tube one buys, the greater assurance
he has of full and satisfactory service
from his casing. A good casing is ter
ribly handicapped with defective or
worn-out tube.
