Fatal accidents
To Childre7, Due
Mainly to Truck.

BALTIMORE, July 12.-That fatal
accidents to Baltimore children are
caused largely by trucks is proved
by statistics. During a month be-
ginning April IA and ending in tho
middle of May, trucks were RESPONSE
BILE for eight of nine child deaths on
the streets. And trucks comprise
only 8 or 10 per cent of tho city's
motor vehicles.
the children" from the wheels of
these commercial mammoths is to
reach drivers through their employ
ers it is claimed. Paul F. Stricker,
director of the Baltimore Safety
Council. has made a few suggestions
which, if put into effect should al
leviate the situation.
More stringent requirements for
drivers, daily inspection of cars and
the safe drivers schools, conducted
by the council, were the outstand-
ing suggestions.
Discussing the first point, Mr..
Stricken recommended precautionary
measures such as those taken by
some of the larger taxicab companies,
which stress "safety' and require
years of age and married. Care is
taken to select dependa BILE men with
feeling Of personal responsibility
toward the rights of those in the
streets.
Some of the large department stores
and other concerns using trucks have
inspection rules in effect now. At
one store drivers report each evening
upon the condition of the car they
manned during the day.

tie is opened the more gas is sucked
into each cylinder and the faster the
engine runs The compression in the
cylinders increases likewise. But when
the throttle is practically closed and
the engine is merely idling the compress
sion in the cylinders is at a low point
a point nearer the pressure in the
crankcase. Thus in order to keep from
stalling the engine keeps sucking In
more gas in an effort to overcome the
back pressure in the crankcase.
When Engine Idles.
'Furthermore. an idling engine is
likely to run either too cold or too
hot. and whenever an engine isn't
getting the right normal mixture ii
Is wasting fuel.
The great waste of the idling en-
gine, however, comes from the fact
that 1t is cumulative. BY that /
mean that you allow your engine to
run so many times when it is not really
necessary that the total Of these small
instances of waste amounts to
a surprising figure. Since self-starters
have come into vogue one seldom sees
cars standing at the curb with engines
left running. But there is much un-
necessary waste at other times. ]
have watched you pull up in front OF
your home many time and instead
of shutting off the engine and coast
ing TO standstill, YOU allow the en-
gine to run until all the passengers
have alighted.'
Smith interrupted to ask what
could be done to stop the waste OF
gas in traffic. 1 replied that he would
save a lot of gas and time by going
out of his way to avoid congestion
even IL 1t meant travelling a longer
distance.
And" I added. you can learn to
park your car more quickly. If il
takes you three minutes to park your
car in a spot which another driver
can make in thirty seconds you are
just wasting six times as much gas
for the same operation. If you viii
just keep your mind on this point
you'll find many an opportunity
where, by more skillful driving or by
working faster, you can cover just
as many miles and go just as many
places without burning so much gas
It might be interesting If some statis.
tician could figure out how many un.
necessary miles the engines of Ameri.
can cars travel in the course of a
day."
i" guess it would be appalling
Smith added, especially when YOU
realize that it's an expense which
owners bear for something that mere
ly exercises the pistons and bring:
no returns"

PAY ATTENTION TO GRIPS.
Advice to Motorists Who Under
take to Test Brakes.

In testing brakes to make sure
that they grip each wheel equally 1t
is the rule to ignore the emergency
service brake, and if both wheels
lock, concludes that he is not likely
TO suffer a skid because of uneven ad-
justment. Sometimes he will be pre-
cautious enough to make the same
test with the emergency brake. But
when he is forced to tackle an emer-
gency stop he steps on the service
brake pedal and automatically
reaches for the emergency brake.
Against his better judgment he thus
attempts to lock the wheels, but it
may be that the combination braking
force of service and emergency on
the wheels may result in sufficient
inequality to cause one wheel to lock
quicker than the other and remain
locked longer. 1t is warning to test
brakes individually as well as in
combination.

increased in proportion to the pro-
duction of cars, and this is due to
two important factors, namely: Safety
educational programs and safer me-
chanical and body construction Of
cars. Each year the toll Of lives
as the result of automobile accidents
is heavy, and good percentage of
these would undoubtedly result in
fewer casualties with safer car con-
struction.
In the early history of the motor
industry the open cars were equipped
with tops which were fiimsy at best
and numerous injuries and some
times death to the occupants resulted
when the car was turned over or the
top struck by some injury-dealing
object. But today we have open tops
which are sturdily built and per-
manent tops which stand almost un-
beliveable strain and afford the same
protection as those on closed cars.
These, together with four-wheel
brakes and many other engineering
features, are used in safeguarding the
millions of motorists, many Of whom
gave little thought to the ever-in-
creasing safety which is being af-
forded them in present-day construc-
ton. The next five years will un-
doubtedly see considerable progress
along these lines, which will result
In the saving Of hundreds OF lives
annually"

Prison Workers

BALTIMORE, July 12.-Entrance OF
Maryland, through its convict labor.
into the automobile license manufac-
turing field will allow the license tag
shops at the Maryland penitentiary to
work full time all year, according
to Claude B. Sweeney, warden.
Last year, the first in which license
tags were made by prisoners at the
institution, the shops completed the
Maryland 1924 tags within six
months.
Since manufacture of Maryland 1925
tags is almost finished, according to
Warden Sweeney, the license tag
shops would have been idle again ex-
cept for securing contracts to manu-
facture Florida licenses for 1925.
In addition to this contract. the pen
itentiary is preparing to submit bids
for making license tags for another
state, Mr.. Sweeney announced.

While in France Mr.. Wills visited
the Renault factory and also the
Citreon plant, where he conferred
with Mr.. Andre Citreon on some inn
portant matters.
Mr. Wills found conditions at the
Maysville plant very satisfactory on
his return, with the factory holding
a production schedule Of only a few
cars per day less than the schedule
maintained during the spring months.

C. Harold Wills, president and gen.

a FIVE weeks business and pleasure
trip to Europe The trip was made
for the purpose OF con1erTlns WIN
two widely known British metal /

According to Mr. Wills, the condi-
tions in the automotive industry In
this country are years ahead OF the
industry, in both France and Eng
land.
"Ten years ago American engineer RS
were copying the design and eng1-
neering principles off foreign engl-
neers but now the reverse is the
case" said Mr.. Wills. "Engllsh ana
French engineers are studiously pat

The materials used in their cars
are in no way comparable to the
materials used in American cars and
their methods of heat treating are
very crude compared to the hlgnly
