imous belief of the officials of the or
Eanization that the present size and

with its cVcr-increasinE activities

logical procedure. The proposal Of
the plan on the floor Of the recent
Detroit convention brought out a
generous array cf financial assist

of an a. \. a. homo in the National
Capital is believed TO be nearfu
turc probability.

slightly greater mileage than the
most direct way. but by eliminating
the delays incident to heavily trav-
eled thoroughfares the actual trip
time has been found to be shorter.
At present most truck drivers are
given their delivery orders and are
left TO select their own route. This.
frequently. is over the main Travelled
and best known--Streets. 1t results
in the driver being forced to move
slowly through dense traffic. causing
an appreciable loss of time and fuel.
The more scientific and economical
system now being adopted saves this
loss. The truck operator or his su-
perintendent in charge of the trans
portation fleet first familiarizeS him
self with traffic conditions through
out the city and then plans the spec
flied routes his trucks are to follow
In going from one section OF the city
to another.
These routes are charted on a map

had, according to information given
out at national Headquarters in

natorS laAeS on motorists. 1t is the

Warfare "Gyps.-
Chief among the ncar-future activi-
ties of the new a. 4. 4. will be re-
lentless warfare against the so-called
gyp motor organizations. 1t is
ti sala that there are now about TWEEN
ty-hVe organizations suspected of be-
ing OF the "gyp" variety, and that
one by one they Will be investigated
and, If found engaged in fraudulent
operations, prosecuted to the limit.
Tho establishment of national
emergency road service under the
auspices OF local clubs is another
A A. A. aim. Where such service has
been established. it is pointed out, the
real benefits have been warmly praised
by members. The operation of
emergency service is now meeting
with success in many large cities, ii
is said.
A solution to the grade crossing
problem will be sought by an a. a.
A. committee which will study the
whole question thoroughly. The a.
A. A, President Henry says, does not
want to make any unreasonable de-
mandS of the railroads, but. he de-
ciareS, something must be done by
both automobiliSts and railways to
lessen the number of grade crossing
accidents and fatalities.
To Form Truck Division.
Formation of a motor truck own
ers' division of the y a. A is an
! other aim of Mr.. Henry, who believes
that the growing commercial and
passenger vehicle traffic and the prob
lens of building and maintaining
roads for both is a matter which
should be worked out by the owners
and operators of each in one organi-
cation like the new A. A. ~
Another committee will at once

MARYLAND ADDS TO FREE
TOURIST CAMPING SITES
New Place on Potomac River, in
Washington County, Three
Miles Off Highway.
Special DISPATCH to The star

BALTIMORE, July IA new free
camping site for motorists and others
has been opened by the Maryland
State Forestry Department at Fort
Frederick, on the Potomac River, in
Washington County.
State Forester +. w. Besley said
the camp viii probably be used more
by persons who intend to remain in
one place than by motorists. as it
is about three miles off the National
Highway, along which most of the
automobile tourists travel.
1t can be reached, however, with
out difficulty, he said by turning off
the highway at Indian Spring and
driving to Big Pool over the State i'm
proved road. From that point on
there is d good dirt road to tho old
fort.
This is the third camping ground
offered free by the Forestry Depart
ment. Tho others are on tho
Patapsco River in Baltimore and
Howard Counties and on the Youghio-
gheny River at Swallow Falls.
y camping party may hold a site
for the entire summer if it visits the
place at least two days out of each
week. This is the only restriction
as to the length or time which
camp may be kept.
More than $4,000 persons stayed at
the camps overnight last year, tho
records kept show.

More economical truck operation

complished by a routing system now
being used by some of the larger

Company, Pontiac, Mich, report. They
have devised specified routes that
radiate from the garage to all sec
tions of the city and which escape
congested arteries and intersections.
That the longest way round is the

strated by those truck operators who
have adopted the new system. Fre-

Lever I<neb CrumbIcS.
One driver had an odd habit of
trying to unSCreW the top of the gear
thift lever knob. He would toy with
y by the hour when it was not alb
foluteiy necessary to keep both hands
on the wheel. When sitting in the
car waiting for any one he would
keep his hand on the knob continual
~. twisting and turning it. one day
II crumbled in his hand just as he
was nerVously shifting at parti-
cularly busy crossing. 1t surprised
him so that he jammed the gears
OF course, he blamed it on the car
and the manufacturer who had made
the car. He never for a moment
suspected that his habit of straining =
the knob. which was made of n com
position, had anything to do with the
bill be paid for new set of gears.
When the leather cushions tore at
the seams, one owner passed around
the story that his car was all right
except for the poor upholstery. 1t
was later observed that Whenever he
took the wheel he had a queer habit
of strengthening out as though try
ing to see whether the back of the
seat would be strong enough to keep
him from falling over backward. In
addition, he always pressed back
against the seat and the back of the
seat when applying the brakes or
pushing out the clutch. 1t was a
habit the upholstery didn't happen to
be built for.
Affects Gar Mileage.
Difference in gas mileage is often
due largely to habits. Quite a num-
hcr of drivers have a habit of beat
ing time with their foot on the ac-
celerator when waiting for traffic to
move. So far as the gas mileage is
concerned they might just as we'll set
the idling speed so as to allow the
engine to run 30 to 100 more reyolu-
tionS per minute

STIFFNESS OF SEAT.
May Be Advantage to Buyer in
Long Run.

While there is an unfortunate
tendency to design the rear seats Of
cars so as to give the feeling Of rid
ing "on" a car rather than "in" il, the
stiffness of the seat cushion should
not be considered an objection. A
seat that is a little too comfortable
to start with may sag and be a source
of annoyance later.
Don't buy the salesman. If you
find he is influencing you for or
against the car simply on his own
sales ability or inability, diplomat
ically transfer your dealing to the
dealer himself or to another sales
man for the same make.

MAKE INSPECTIONS OFTEN

Take the first opportunity to get
under the car and look around. Nuts
and bolts on both steering and brake
assemblies arc secured by cotter
pins. See that they are secure. Clean
off parts that are covered with road
dirt. Dirt often covers defects. See
that the nuffler is secure to the end
of the exhaust pipe. Wipe all grease
off the transmission, frame or any
parts that are near the muffier.
Sometimes the muff1er will be spat-
tered with grease thrown off the front
universal Prevent the possibility of
a fire. Examine the gas pipe line.

POINTS IN LUBRICATION.

There are two types o. parts that
need particular attention with ref
erenCe to fabrication. One is tho
part that takes so little grease that
you always forget to attend to it
frequently. The other is the sort of
part that takes so much grease at
one filling that YOU ina gine it won't
need any attention for another ten
years. Every car has few of these.
