BELATED SAFETY CAMPAIGNS.

Now that three of her citizens have
come TO an untimely and CHASTITY end
victims OF a prominent clubmans s
motor car. Philadelphia is hot on the
trail of the careless driver. More
than 100000 drivers were detained
and examined in IA single raid" of
which 700 We're charged with viola
tions of state vehicle laws. Speed
maniacs were fined. \ mother paid
SO fine for Il reckless son and
threatened to deprive sonny of his
gasoline toy. Two cars belonging to
tourists from far ends of the country
We're taken over when the drivers failed
to produce evidence of ownership.
Good enough! But once again We
have a classic example of locking the
doors after the fretful horse has
skipped off. Philadelphia had been
criticised just recently as being par
ttcularly lax in traffic regulations and
the decorum of safe and sane driving.
Whether this be true or not makes
little difference. There is no city in
the Union where regulation is ade
quate in preventing trouble. And
there is no reason why any American
city should be 50 much at sea in
watching out for the interests of its
citizens. Amy one who even casu-
ally observes motor ears will find at
least Il dozen drivers in the course
of a day who ought to have their
licenses suspended until they come
to their senses. THAT fellows look
ing for trouble" we say, and let it
go at that. Then after he's found
trouble, just as every one predicted.
the city starts a campaign against
reckless driving, invariably rounding
up Il lot of innocent drivers who
never have and probably never will
give trouble. It's the old story: but.

A TWO-WAY SOLUTION.

Any one who has struggled to find
q niche for his car in Il public garage
is justified in feeling quite alarmed
at the prophecy of a few million more
ears this year Where will they house
them? Garages are not being built
fast enough TO accommodate the new
cars.
1t is a problem which has a direct
bearing on safety and the success of
motoring. With machines packed into
public garages like sardines motor
lists are discouraged from using their
machines. They necessarily neglect
them, since ii is almost impossible
to find an opportunity to change a
tire. Defective machines breed care
lesSneSS and are hazardous in them
selves. Motorists find repair bills
mounting, see their beautiful nicke led
ChartotS sliding down the tobOggan of
depreciation. become discouraged and
don't use their cars half the time
which, by the way, is the most ex-
penSiVe way to motor.
oddly enough, present proposed
solutions to the parking problem may
help solve the difficulties occaSiOned
by inadequate garage accommodate
tions. The building commissioners
of Washington have under advise
providing for the use Of easements
of office buildings as garages for day
storage. This is in line with Il tend
ency in a number of other cities, and
IL is certain to materialiZe within Il
few years time because it is neces-
Sary. Aside from solving the park
ing problem, il is evident that such
day storage facilities would give a
motorist an opportunity to attend to
small but important things about the
car. He could use the car daily, and

You wouldn't think it. but dirt
on the engine makes it harder for the
repairer to work. He has to clean
off the bolts before the wrenches will
fit, and when the engine is covered
with hard-packed grease it's difficult
to find some of the smaller crews and
bolts.

In event of being caught on the

gasoline poured into the crankcase
will assure the bearings of an ample
supply of lubricant for a short run

gasoline thins the lubricant, but adds
to it's quantity. While the mixture
may not be the best for the engine, 1t
is preferable to taking chance on
making a few important parts of the
