George Graham, Of Chandler
Motors, VIII Talk on Trans
portation's Problems" !

Transportation and Traffic are
to be discussed at the . December
meeting of the Washington section
of the Society OF Automotive En-
gineers. to be held at the Cosmos
Club on Monday evening Decem-
Der Is.
The question Of traffic and traf-
fic regulation Is uppermost in the
minds Of civic officials everywhere.
Unfortunately due to the topog-
raphy Of the various cities it is
impossible to lay down any hard
and fast rules which will be ap-
plicable to all. 1t is conceded, how.
ever, that there are certain funda-
mental regulations that can be
universally applied.
There is probably no man in the
country who has made a deeper
study of the question than George
M. Graham. vice president of the
Chandler Motor Car Company and
chairman of the traffic planning
and safety committee of the Ma.
tionaI Automobile Chamber of Com
merce.
He has also been selected by
Secretary Of Commerce Hoover as
chairman q the Public Relations
Committee, which is to meet here
that same week to discuss traffic
and remedies for present conditions
in so far as 1t is possible to apply
them. He will talk upon Solving
Transportations Greatest Problem .
Mr.. Grahan's interest in traffic
problems date back to the time of
the war when he was stationed in
Washington as chairman of the
Motor Truck Committee of the Ma.
tional Automobile Chamber of
Commerce. He saw then the neces.
sity of regulations that would not
cnly be applicable at that time,
but which would serve as the basis
for future rules when the country
had returned to normally, and ii
became a question of unhindeEel
transportation in our cities the same
as it was in those days, the prin,
cipal difference of course being that
during war times. orders could be
given and their obedience required
while during peace times it became
more question of educating botE
vehicle driver and pedestrian.

Some drivers tell me that they
can actually feel car behind them
and that they know exactly what
to do in each instance. This feeling
is undoubtedly due to unconscious
messages sent to the brain through
the sense of hearing.

But things are not always as
they seem. was GU ed by a
sixth sense and was accordingly
spared a serious smashup.
Had Observed the Truck.
What really happened was this:
III passing the truck had observed
through the sense of sight, the
excessive speed of the truck and its
general bad condition.
When it was necessary to stop
quickly I had observed Through
the sense of hearing) the screech.
ing Of the trucks defective brakes.
When it was necessary to recall
these observations, therefore,
could see that the truck driver
would need the space occupied by
my car in which to stop, unless, of
course, he could turn out to the
left.
But when glanced to the left
of the road and saw traffic ap.
preaching at high rate of speed
1t was evident that to avoid rear
end collision either the truck driver
or I would have to turn out to the
right.
1t was more logical that / should
take the necessary step to prevent
the collision, for there was no
assurance that the truck driver
sensed the seriousness of the sit
uation.
1t would seem, therefore, that
this sixth sense required of motor
list is merely a combination of the
other senses given an automobile
slant" The man ahead of me
must have seen that the cars were
travelling at a fast clip and he must
have heard the screeching of the
motor trucks brakes, but after it
was all over and lot of serious
trouble averted, he was still ready
to believe that / turned to the
right of him because didn't know
any better.
Prevented Bad Mix-Up.
When the truck came to a stand
still it was not more than two feet
from the other car, thus proving be-
yond a doubt that the sixth sense
saved me the expense of a new car.
An interesting feature of this
particular case was that even though
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1924-12-03

the man ahead of me must have
heard the engine Of the truck when
all the cars had come to stand
still 1t meant nothing to him.
Had he been trained in interpret
ing the messages delivered to his
brain through his senses he would
have reasoned that the truck had
difficulty stopping, otherwise why
should it come up SO close behind
him, leaving no room for me to
get back into line?
Behind car there are constant
hazards to watch out for, and these
can best be avoided by proper in
depreciation of the messages con.
veyed by the senses.
For instance, there is the matter
of horning. To some drivers the
sound of horn means but one
thing: Move over to the eight,
someone wants to pass"
Drivers who are more experienced
appreciate the fact that misinter.
preting a sense message frequently
leads to trouble. They acquire
thereby a sixth sense which often
tells them that moving over to the
right would be decidedly wrong
thing to do.

JOSE GIVES TIP
ON PICKING
CARS
D. G. Cadillac Agency Head
Advises Buyers to Look
Up Past Records

Something new In the way Of
tips for car buyers is offered in
the opinion expressed by Rudolph
Jose, head Of the local Cadillac
agency, to the effect that it is
more important for the prospective
purchaser to look into the past
rather than into the future.
The future, he says, is only specu.
latiOn when you consider 1t alone,
but II can be read with assurance
once you have examined the facts
that are a record OF the past.
According to Mr.. Jose, too many
car owners overlook the things
that have happened in the auto
motive past and In particular the
tendency of the past to repeat
itself
Take the matter of mechanical
trends" he explains. ITO attempt
to prophesy the rate of deprecia-
ton on your car by reason of the
rapid addition of new features IS
useless IL you consider the future
alone, but il you glance back
through the history of the make Of
car you are considering 1t is fairly
easy to determine just how the
future will affect your car value.
One glance into the past will tell
you whether the manufacturer is
reckless or conservative, whether he
improves as improvements are nee
essary or at periods most advan.
tageous to his company from the
standpoint OF present profits.
"The past should tell car shop
per just about how long his car
will stay in style. matter which
Is of particular Importance to the
man who buys transportation in its
broadcast sense rather than automo.
tive novelties. One record Of the
past which is an infallible guide is
the public respect for the car That
is something that cannot be gained
in a day no matter how excellent
the product may be.
If the public is with car it
has been satisfied. and all things
being equal the buyer viii be equally
satisfied. This he can easily de.
terrnine by again dipping into the
past order to understand what such
product will have in store for
him tomorrow"

hung his clothes on an ordinary
hook and went right into the water.
When he emerged 5000 was missing
