washington, ID. c., Dec. 7.-Carry-
ing out its adopted policy to en-
deavor always to point the way to
greater era in motoring. the Ma
tional Motorists Association, with
374 automobile clubs in its support,
has announced lite intention Of urg-
ing before Congress only such legis-
lation az will solve the automobile
prcelems OF tomorrow as well as to-
day.
1.-THE opportunity for our organiza-
ton to prepare for the future Of
motoring is too great to waste in the
enactment of temporary measures"
declared Secretary Fred II. Galley IN
outlining the N. NJ. AS unique policy
at the close OF Its annual convent IN
held in this city last week.
"The great trouble with the oulk
OF automobile legislation" he said,
lis that 1t is not enacted until the
need for 1t has largely passed. A
new set of problems Immediately
arise, and the result Is that motor
dom is confronted with a continual
ton OF inadequate legislation
One example of the N. M. A..
legislative policy is pointed out in
its slogan, mot traffic safe for the
highways. but highways safe for the
traffic" Through its national head
quarters here the association is ad-
vocating q Federal highway policy
that will anticipate. the traffic con-
ditions of tomorrow as well as today.
An important feature of this pro-
gram, it is said, is the urging upon
legislators of recognition of the
need for highway appropriations
that provide for durable roads, not
merely mileage. From every section
of the country reports are showing
that legislation which provides foi
highways to meet present needs will
fail in the attempt to provide
adequate roads for the future.
The N. NJ. A. pledges itself to get
behind every good movement to make
1924 a record highway building year.
but both directly and indirectly it
will aim to see 1921 a record year
for the building of roads that will
solve the traffic problems of 1880.
This would appear to be big task
for the organized motorists OF the
country, but in the opinion of those
who are closely following motordom's
needs and anticipating it's needs in
the near future it can be put over
because there is no alternative.
Passing laws that improve condi-
tons for only a day, or month or
year Is not the sort OF thing that
will help motoring nor the millions
who ore dependent upon motoring
for safe and convenient transporta-
tion," says Galley. Already the
country is complaining of too may
laws, and if additional legislation is
to be enacted it must be the sort to
supplant the laws now on the books
and render surfeit of additional
laws each year unnecessary.
I'm accordance with this policy the
National Motorists Association will
resist every attempt to increase
automobile taxes. since the future in
creases in registration are going to
result in so many more taxpayers
that higher per capita taxation will
not be necessary.
ANY legislation which the N. NJ.
A. advocates in connection with stop
ping the theft of motor vehicles will
aim to safeguard the car of 1880 as
well as the car of today.

How MuffIer Operates

Few motorists really understand
how the mu1f1er works. They ap-
preciate its function, but invariably
picture it as device to offer back
pressure on the exhaust gases,
thereby deadening the sound of the
sharp exhaust. This, however is
just the reverse of the situation.
The purpose of the muffler is to
furnish means of quick expansion
Tor the exhaust gasses, thereby dead
ening the noise. Thus the muffler is
constructed of pipe much larger
than the exhaust pipe, with battle
plates to break up the force of the
expanding gases. Unless tie holes
in these plates are choked with car
bon the muller eXerts very little
back pressure and the motor gins
but very slightly through the use OF
a cut-out, except for testing pur-
poses.

Practice We. Theory

Theoretically, external contracting
brakes ought to operate better after
long run than when the car is lust
starting off. This is due to the ex-
pansion of the brake drums, which
automatically makes for tighter ad-
1ustment of drums and bands.
Engineers claim that this point has
to be considered in laying out plans
for brakes, and many drivers say
they have noticed the increasing
efficiency Of their brakes as the
drums heat. But the average motor
list will find that though the drums
may expand a little in running the
increased braking effect is lost
through increasing inefficiency of the
brake lining, as well as the adjust
ments. This is very clearly indicated
in the case of burning the brake lin
lngs when descending a long steep
hill. In this case while the drums
are expanding to their maximum the
brake lining is being polished and
burned TO a point of minimum
efficiency. And the result Is that the
gain in brake drum expansion is
more than offset by the loss of brake
lining efficiency,

Did You Know

That the core of the radiator
should not be painted? There is q
temptation to black enamel it or
paint 1t with aluminium after rust
streaks have marred it's appearance,
but this only encourages overhead
ing. The fins of the radiator need
all the exposure they can get; paint
affects the radiation.
That the gears will often shift
better If the gas control is set q liz
tie in advance of the minimum, es-
pecially when the engine is cold ?
The reason for this is that being
sluggish in starting the engine does
not run quite as fast in proportion

- Beware of This Mani

Beware of the man ahead who
doesn't know the road. His mind Is
on signposts, not safety. He'll
stop when he wants to be sure he's
on the right road, not necessarily
when it's logical and safe time to
stop. Doubly serious is the situa-
ton if you too are unfamiliar with
the road. In this event you'll not
know when you're taking chances
because you'll assume that he's not
running any risks. He is very like
ly to lead you into all sorts of
difficulties. even to doing the wrong
thing at congested point in traffic.
Be sure that the, man ahead knows
the way, and then drive as though
he were the dangerous party who
doesn't know the ropes. It's TIE
safest plan.
