TRAFFIC LAW IMPOTENT !.
IN SPECIAL CASE CITED
Commission Chairman in Maryland
Sees No Jurisdiction Over Trucks
Not Common Carriers.

BALTIMORE. January 5--Apparently
there is no legal protection to the pub
lie in Maryland against road accidents
caused by drivers of trucks or other
motor vehicles who temporarily may be
rendered incompetent by reason of
overwork. This is specially true, it is
said, in the case of hiring trucks which
do not operate under a fixed schedule
and do not act as common carriers.
A case is cited of a chauffeur Of a
potor truck who recently was tried at
Laurel on charges growing out of a col
lfsion. The man pleaded that he had
been on duty for SO long that he was
practically asleep at the wheel and was
not responsible. The defense was un-
successful He was fined No action
was taken against his employer.

of trucks or other cars operated for

visions relating to common carriers" ="

to his attention. "Eiven with common

the wind will sweep up through the

When placing the robe over the

tion against freezing, catch the ends
of the robe in the hood clamps.
Otherwise the wind will carry the robe
off the hood and perhaps drop it Oh

Under the decision Of the courts a
man who does not accept all passen
gers or packages offered, but hauIs for
certain individuals or charters his car
or carries certain passengers through
contract is not under the control of the
public service commission.
The line between such use of a ma
chine and its use as a common carrier
is very shadowy. and Sometimes II
amounts to evasion Of the law, but we
cannot control the situation without
additional legislation. The commissiou
prepared a bill with this object and
presented it to the last legislature. bur
it never saw the light OF day.
'lt would be quite feasible to mass
a law which would prohibit drivers of
commercial trucks from being worked
more than given number of hours a
day, and it would be a protection TO the
public if enforced. From past expe-
rience, though, | fear it would be diff
cult TO get the legislature to take such
action. -

Use Of Balloon Tires.
Balloon tires are shown as equip
ment on a few of the 1924 models In
the big armory. Balloon tires offer
an appeal both to the manufacturer
and the car user. that i'll time may
bring them TO position OF great
prominence.
The new tires. as their name i'm
plies, are fat-looking things. and, be-
cause OF their greater size, they can
be operated with about half the air
pressure that the ordinary tires re-
quire.
On the cars in the show embodying
these two innovations there can be
discerned other changes in design,
but they are not such as would be
quickly detected even by those who
are familiar with CONSTITUTIONAL de-
tails They relate largely to the
tightening of parts that are affected
by the inclusion of the new brakes
or tires The modern automobile is
so much unit nowadays that a
change in one part affects the whole
to a greater or lesser degree. Both
the frame and body are certain TO

case of gradual development.
1t was conceded year ago that
the designers of motor car bodies had
about reached their limit in the di-
rection of combining graceful lines
with utility and comfort. 1t was
generally agreed also that the manu-
facturers could hardly go further in
the way of adding TO the completen ess
OF appointments and fittings, both in
side and out.
The cars designed for. 1924. as dis
closed at the armory, show no ma
terial changes from those OF year
ago. The changes that may be noted
relate rather to the improvement of
certain makes than to any striking
Improvement over what could be con-
sidered the complete car of twelve
months back. The fundamental fea-
lures of body design appear for the
present to be established and acT
cepted. Bodies are hung as low as is
consistent with safety on poor
stretches of highway; the straight
line effect is aimed at on all cars and
achieved on most Of them.
Taxicabs Have Place.
The present show is the first ma
tional affair at which .taxicabs have
been considered important enough as
a type to enjoy the distinction of a
place in the sun. No angle. of pas
senger transportation has made such
sweeping strides in recent years. Not
so long ago "taxis" were considered
luxury for extravagent city folk.

Commodious COMPARISONS.

Are you making progress in the
matter of caring for your car? Are
you polishing the car often enough?
Is 1t wearing out too rapidly? Could
you have done better If you had fol-
lowed a different course?
Every conscientious car owner
wonders accordingly. Yet there is no
need to be puzzled, for a commodi-
Gus form OF comparison is always
handy. When you buy car note the
particular cars of the same make,
model and year that are In service
about town. Judge your success or
failure IL caring for your car by how
the other fellows car looks.
It tells the whole story at q Ennce.
If his car has been more successfully
cared for stop him some time and
and out why. If your car leads the
procession and others do not inquire
as to how you were able to do it,
worry not. That's why.
