MOTOR CYCLE PROVES
SAFER THAN AUTOS
Statistics Show Accidents in Balti-
more Are Few and Far
Apart.

In preparing for it's legislative
campaign TO have the motor cycle
registration fees reduced in the state
OF MARYLAND the Marylan nd Motor Cy-
Gle Club called on the Baltimore 20
lice department for information as TO
the comparative number of accidents
due to various forms of transporta-
ton. The figures given are for the
city OF Baltimore during the year
1929
1t must be borne in mind that the
automobile ontnumhers the motor.
cycle in this state about 20 to /. there
being about 5000 motor cycles regis
tered and about 100000 automobiles
and trucks. However, there were
more than ITO times as many acct
dents due to automobiles than there
were motor cycle accidents, which
means that machine for machine you
have eight and one-half times as
many chances of an accident with an
automobile as with a motor cycle.
This may be due to the agility of
the rider, or the greater amount of
control and good judgment exercised
Think these figures over when some
one says the motor cycle is a menace
on the roads:

vehicles OF gaaoline and electric pro.

vehicles Of gasoline and electric pro-
pulsion. An early debaker electric
car and many of the first gasoline
motor vehicles, including the first
light six, special six and big SIX
Stedebaker cars, make up a more
modern display.
Spectacular indeed are two of the
exhibits--the Studebaker gold chassis
and the gold car. The gold chassis
was first shown at the New York au-
tomobile show in 1916, while the gold
car made its first appearance at the
same exposition the year following.
The gold car cost $4,000 to build, and
after it's initial appearance in New
York was exhibited in Australia New
Zealand, South America and in a num-
ber of European countries. 1t is eSti-
viewed it.
Prairie Schooner in Collection.
Typifying an altogether different
aspect Of early American development
is the Canastota wagon, or prairie
schooner. built in 1880 by John Stude-
baker, father of the five Studebak er
brothers who founded the house OF
Studebaker 1t was used in 1899 by
a Macmillan family to emigrate from
York county, Pa. to Belmont county,
Ohio.
Two beautiful specimens of excel
lence in wagon construction are in
the exhibit. The aluminium wagon,
made of box rosewood and trimm ed
in aluminium, required 422h days Ia
Dor to build. 1t was awarded highest
premium at the Worlds Columbian
Exposition in Chicago in 1893, and
the centennial wagon took the high
est prize at the Centennial Exposi-
tion in Philadelphia in 1876.
The name Studebaker has been
ked with the development of trans
portation in the Unined States almost
since the beginning. John Studebak er
father of the five brothers, bought
property near Gettysburg, Pa, in
1880, and. with his sons, pursued the
trade of blacksmith and wagon
builder.
In 1850 two of the sons, Henry and
Clem, moved westward to South Bend
Ind. and in 1882 laid the foundation
of the present Studebaker corpora
tion. The business prosperedt and ex-
panded accordingly during the fol-
lowing years, until Studebaker be-
came the worlds largest producer of
horse drawn vehicles.
II was inevitable with the advent
of the automobile in the late COS
that the company would become in
terested in this new method of trans
portation. AS early as 1897 Stude-
baker built and experimental with a
'horseless vehicle and by 1902 was
actually producing electric runabouts
and trucks.
Notable Records Established.
The management entered into the
manufacture of gaSoline-propelled
automobiles on a large scale in 1910,
acquiring the entire business, plants.

LONG IN SERVICE
J. G. HeasIet, Large Contrib
utor to Industry, Talks of
Special Problems.

Few people realize the vast amount
Of important work that James G.
Heaslet, president Of the Rollin Mo-
tors Company, has contributed to the
automobile industry. For years Mr..
Heaslet was vice president In charge
of all engineering and production of
the Studebaker interest. An execu-
tive position Of this magnitude nat
urally called for a man of not only
fine scientific training. but, in addi-
tion, an unusual production record.
Mr.. Heaslet has not only occupied
many similar positions to the one he
had with the Studebaker Corporation
of America, but probably his out
standing accomplishment was during
the war, when he had complete charge
for the government OF the production
of all Liberty motors turned out
throughout the country.
introduces shop Practices.
Heaslet has introduced many of the
leading shop practices now in general
use in the most important motor car
plants. He was one OF the first to
work to limits below one one-thou-
sandth of an inch in automobile en-
sines and manufacturing practices.
He is n pioneer progressive engineer
and production authority.
AS an executive he proved his great
powers and gained great recognition.
And now, after his war experience, he
heads the Rollin ranks, with powers
refreshed and with widened knowl-
edge.
A leading technical writer. repre-
senting one of the foremost scientific
publications of the world, was quite
impressed when, at recent inter
view, Mr.. Heaslet discussed at some
length the intricacies and idiosyn-
crasies of the gasoline motor.
"It is seldom" said the writer. that
you find a man with such complete
fundamental technical knowledge"
Mr.. Henslet Discusses Reforms.
In part, Mr.. HeasIet said. as fol-
lows:
The changes which occur within
the cylinder of an internal combustion
engine are complex, and, although
considerable attention has been given
to the phenomena observed by emf
nent scientists and engineers, with a
partial eiucidation Of the difficulties,
yet there is still much to be done in
this connection.
Unfortunately. SO far as gasoline
engines are concerned, very little

They had to be brought into Reno

CHAINS MAY HURT TIRES.

Before leaving the car in the
garage for the night, and II you are
using chains. be sure to see that the
tires are not resting directly on
cross -chains, as this inficts a slight
but permanent injury on the treads.
1t is only necessary to push the car

to allow the tires to stand in direct

During its rise in the automobile

withstanding that the total number
of cars sold of all other makes, ex-
cept Fords, was Al per cent less than
