Analysis of vehicular accidents

This is contrary 20 what IL per-

thought one would probably Imagine
that the greatest number of serious
traffic accidents occurred after dark
when low visibility. binding head
lights, Joy riding and other. condi-
tions would combine to run UP the
total. The contrary. however. Is true.
The evening rush hours witness the
climax of the days mishaps.
"Fewest accidents occur between
3 and 7 O'Clock in the morning. After
Z o'clock the accident curve starts

Paris Traffic Scheme.

In order to relieve the congestion
or the Paris traffic, a scheme has for
some time been devised for the con-
struction of an underground moving
platform for pedestrians.
The Paris municipa ity first voted
and then revoked a grand of 100000
francs for experiments on this plat
form. Finally a grant of 100000
francs for the purpose was accorded.
Consequently 1t may be anticipated
that these experiments will shortly
be realized.
Experiments will be tried with only
three schemes of platform entirely
original, with perhaps an improve
ment of some details of a fourth
scheme already amply tested at the
Paris exhibition of 1900. The three
new schemes have this advantage
over the old one. that they consist of
only one platform and so require a
narrower tunnel
Experiments will be made stimuli
taneously in the three new schemes,
one having a speed of fifteen kilo-
meters per hour and the other two of
eight to twelve kilometers per hour.
In each case the entrance is oblique
to the platform, and the passenger in
q few meters (f1ve to ten according to
the System) changes from a station
ary position to speed of eight,
twelve or fifteen kilometers per hour,
the exit producing the inverse effect.
Only when the different systems
have been tested at the works will
they be fitted up in a place accessible
to the public.
1t is anticipated that this public
trial will be made at the beginning
Of 1924 and will last about a week
which will give the management and
experts time to form an idea of the
merits of each of the systems.

The Old Mechanic Saws:

Moderation IN remedies for car
trouble is somethin' you probably
haven't thought about before. If
you're like the rest of the folks who
ear strange noises and then go
snoopin' under the hood In pursuit Of
them you doubtless experiment with
a half dozen remedies in quick sue
ceSsion, hopin' at least one of em will
turn the trick
This is sometimes a quick way of
so'vin' the immediate problem. but 1T
may mean q long tie-up on the road
a some later date. Luck never strikes
twice in the same place.

pairin' is necessarily experimental,
but you must learn to try one remedy
at time, for IL you do a half dozen
Jobs at once Ii will be impossible to
tell just wi ich remedy actually pull
I'd you out of trouble. If the trouble
ONES your way again you'll be up
against IL.
Il saw a good illustration OF this
the other day. A driver noticed that
his engine was heatin' up and plainly
heard puzzlin', rattlin' noise at the
front of the engine In an effort to
remedy the trouble as quickly as pos

OF course, the trouble disappeared.

remedy was the mere addition of
water. His engine was overheatin.

the system was trying to escape

to the tourist he should not figure on
doing II in an hour-and- a-half, IL
that Is his usual average for a forty
mile stretch. He will, In all proba-
bility, spend a half hour or more In
slowing down to read road signs and
in making sure he's on the right road.
Many an engagement Is missed be-
cause strangers have taken the ad-
vice of the motorist who claims that
the trip can be made in such and
such time easily" The councillors
forget that they know the way. a
fact which makes decided differ
ence In the running time.
If 1t starts to rain while en- route
on trip jump out and dust off the
hood. cowl, top and tenders. You'll
appreciate the advantage of this the
next day, when the car will look as
though 1t had been washed clean.
Some towns and cities are puzzling
to the stranger, but that's no reason
why you should be confused. You
can avoid mistakes and get the
hang" of the town and Its traffic
regulations by pulling over to the
curb for few moments of ebserva-
ton and reflection. Tourists invari-
ably relate unpleasant stories of
traffic complications and errors, and
just as regularly admit that the
trouble was chiefly due to rushing
headlong into strange lands. Stop,
look, and you won't have to listen
to the magistrate.

Did You Know

That the higher rate of wear on
your rear tires is not due to any extra
weight at the rear. but to the strain
on the treads in stopping and start
ing? And that the wear is greater
due to acceleration than deceleration?
The brakes of most cars are not suffi-
ciently well adjusted to permit the
wheels to be locked. while almost all
cars are capable of sliding the wheels
bit In starting. Here Is where the
wear is excessive, because the spin
ming of the wheels is repeated so fire.
quently. good way to get Into the
habit of starting and stopping less
abruptly is to compare the rear with
the front tires at regular intervals.
If the rear tires are wearing more
the chances are that your driving is
still erratic.
That II Is occasionally permissible
to oil the valve stems by squirtn
engine oil through the pet cocks-fo

The Old Mechanic SAYS:

you can't sit by, durin this excite
rnent over four-whee1 brakes. and figure
that IL doen't make any difference to
you. With cars around you stoppin'
promptly because of double brakin'
equipment It's up to you to keep your
old two-wheel brakes In the best shape
possible.
"Just because your brakes lock the
wheels is no reason to be satisfied.
Maybe you could ease 'em up bit with
better results. The point about four
wheel brakes Is that they are not sup
posed to lock the wheels, thus preventing
sliding which Is both an ineffective and
costly way of stoppin'. Adjust your
brakes so that they take hold instantly,
but do not grab. Have your emergency
set for graffin', for you will want that
to hold the car with locked wheels when
parking.
Get into the habit of jackin' up the
rear wheels and testin' to see that both
brakes work alike. Study the layout Of
the brake rods, note where the adjuct-
merts are made and where they should
be oiled. The more you know about
your brakes the better luck you'll have
in this transition period. Stop your
BEST should be your byword."

Two Traffic Tricks,

driving all the way out to the center

Hunting Picnic Spots.

It's a strange thing that with all
the scenery in the country, all the
back roads and all the b. sles of grass
that have never been trod upon by
human foot, that motorists out for
picnic should have such a con-
foundedly hard time of 1t trying to
find a decent place to park the old
bus and spread the party. Lets
stop here" suggests Sle party who
looks only to the scenic features. but
1t usually can't be done because it's
private property. or there's too much
traffic. Orwell, the situation Is too
we'll known to bear repeating In
variably when the driver finds the
ideal place there Is something WRONG
with the scenery, a barn in the vicin-
ity. a gasoline pump or too many
other picniCkers."
Thus 1t goes. And accordingly the
motorist will find It practical to make
a note of nice places to picnic" when
he is simply out for a spin without
the old sandwiches. There are al
ways plenty Of attractive places to
been seen when they aren't wanted.
That's the time to reco. nj them for
future reference.

Reversing the Joke.

Motordom has had good laugh at
the woman who, in applying for a
license In New Jersey. said that the
driver who has the right of way at

who got there first. But the joke
was really on the lawmakers. Care
fully analyzed, there Is provision
In each right-of-way law which
stipulates that the rule of the man
to the right having the privilege to
cross first is waived II the man to
the left Is coming at a higher rate
OF speed or happens to be nearer the
crossing when the question arises.
