Recommendations Made for
Control of Traffic in
Leading Cities.

The conference of international po-
lice chiefs, which included delegates
from all Of the leading cities of the
world. before adjourning in New York
city unanimously adopted the follow
ing recommendations for the control
of automobile traffic:
All cars must have left-hand drive.
The use of glaring headlights should
be forbidden.
Take Away Licenses,
Licenses of individuals found unfit
should be taken away.
Brakes and steering gear Of all We
e.hicles must be tested monthly.
The size. shape and, color combina-
lions of plates should be standardized.
Physical, mental and moral tests
should be imposed on all drivers.
No automobile shall be more than 20
feet long, 8 feet wide and II feet high.
The knowledge and fitness of all
drivers must be thoroughly tested
periodically.
Brakes must be so adjusted that a
car making ~ m1IGS du HouI Can sup
within 40 feet. \
Fingerprints of drivers should be
attached to all licenses and deposited
with state bureaus.
Speed should be limited to % miles
per hour. Villages should not be per-
mitted to restrict speed laws to less
than 20 miles an hour.
The following hand signals should
be made universal: Arm extended up
for right turn; arm extended horizon
tally for left turn arm down to signal
intention to stop. ~
Punish Reckless Drivers.
Jail sentences should be given for
reckless driving, terms being gradu-
ated in accordance with the degree OF
recklessness shown. such as two years
for driving while intoxicated or under
the influence of drugs.
The transfer of property titles for
automobiles should be regulated by
law, so that genuine owners may prove
their ownership, so that traffic in stolen
automobiles can be discouraged by the
impossibility of delivering title.

Numerous Trivials Make
an Automobile Expensive

If your axle is even slightly out Of
true it will soon wear out your tires
by the continual grinding action, wear
ing to the fabric in very short time.
If you have had an accident of any
kind 1t will pay you to have your wheels
examined, to see If they are true.
Often the brakes are not properly
adjusted and one wheel stops the en-
tire load. If this is the case, the tire
which is receiving the greatest strain
will soon be worn to the fabric. One
or two violent applications of the
brakes on rough ground will take sew
eral miles from the service Of your
tires. See that the brakes are properly
adjusted so as to equally distribute the
strain on the tires and avoid sudden
stops and skidding around corners.
When on the road, never use your
brake unless absolutely necessary. The
throttle is made to control the engine.
There are many drivers who never
change their gasoline feed in going
down hills, but depend upon the brake
altogether. Such procedure is the
worst of folly.

Likening Of Auto Tire
to Human Body Helps

The likening Of q pneumatic tire to
a human body is one of the favorite
topics found in manuals circulated by
tire manufacturers for the purpose OF
helping the motorist secure all the
mileage that has been built into the
tire.
The carcass of the tire corresponds
10 the bones and muscles OF our
bodies. The outer rubber covering
(tread and side cushions) protect the
tire as the skin protects our bodies.
Cuts in this rubber must be repaired
TO prevent infection. Inflated pres
sure to tire is what food is to our
bodies.
There is another similarity, how
ever. that has not been described
the tires need Of exercise. 1t is a
fact. that a spare tire resists natural
ageing much better if it is put into
service for a day every month. The
reason for this is obscure, but is prob
ably due to what physicists call ''mole-
cular Encouragement" in the rubber
portions of the tire caused by fiexing.
Whatever the cause of the deteriora-
ton. it is fact that spare carried
month after month without being lex
ercised" occasionally does not retain
It's wearing qualities as well as one
that gets an occasional days use.

Leakage of Grease Onto
Brake Drums Is Harmful

Another condition that is the result
of warm weather is the leakage OF
grease from rear axle interiors and
the attendant excessive deposits Of
that material on the brake drums. es-
pecially on the inner periphery against
which the emergency or internal brake
bands act. This reduces braking eff
cheney to a considerable degree and
wherever such deposits are found, they
should be removed by cleaning the
parts thoroughly with gasoline, even If
this should necessitate removing the
wheels to gain access to the brake
drum interior. The leakage Is usually
caused by the thinning out Of the
grease due to high operating tempera-
lures in the axle interior.-Scientific

Old Emery Cloth Cleans
Brass Parts of the Car

Some of the brasswork of the car,
because of its position and the work
it has to perform, Is apt to get into a
rough state that makes it difficult to

strip edging the running-boards and

is difficult to clean these with liquid
brass polish, which has the character
istic of staining the surrounding ter
ritory, including the rubber foot-board
covering. 1t Is better to top using
the liquid here and to polish the
brass with the finest grade Of emery
cloth. A piece of this cloth that has
been used somewhat elsewhere, and
SO has lost some Of Its cut, Is best for
this work.

Side Sway Is Given as
Cause for Rim Cutting

Motorists are often puzzled at the
reason for their tires rim-cutting. Es-
pecially are they surprised at this
when the rims are in good condition.
Ordinarily underinfiation is held solely
to blame. But there is an important
contributing cause-side sway. Sud

Small's Legislature
Passes Huge Graft,
Snubs 8-Hour Bill


SPRINGFIELD, H., May 6.-For an
other week the fate OF the women's
eight-hour bill will be an uncertainty,
1t developed today as result OF its
failure to obtain a constitutional ma
jority when called on the order Of
third reading In the house.
The vote, altho unannounced,
showed 76 affirmative and 81 mega
tive. Aware that her bill was failing
in support, Mrs. Lottie Holman O'Neil,
of Downers Grove, its sponsor, imme-
diately asked that it be postponed for
further consideration. The motion
was carried. She said further action
may be sought Tuesday, May 10.
The state legislature is controlled
by Governor Len Small. The failure
Of the women's eight-hour bill, as
well as the anti-injunction bill, to
secure the necessary number Of re-
publican votes to pass, shows that
Small has been quietly fighting the
labor measures.
SmalPs control Of the house, which
has snubbed the women's eight-hour
bill, is shown by the passage in the
house Of his bill creating two new
state departments, and a score Of
high-salaried jobs. The bill adds mil
lions of dollars to the state budget,
and many of the jobs, calling for sala-
ries of $1,000 or more per year, have
no work attached to them.

ORD Astor's horses made killing
II in the stakes at Newmarket, Eng
land, few days ago. Astor is now a
British subject. He was once an
American citizen, and number of
patriotic Americans are angry at the
lord because he deserted them. He
put himself under British registry, 80
to speak, just as shipowners change
the flags of their vessels when it suits
their pockets. Aston is having a Jolly
old time over in England, playing the
races and spending the money re-
ceiYed in rentals from patriotic Amer
lean paupers, on impeeunious British
dukes. There is a great kick in that
kind of thing.
THE patriotic American workers,
4 who resent Astor's change of
patriotism, seem to think the system
that enables Astor to dine with the
King of England, because his great
grandfather happened to have taste
for real estate on Manhattan Island,
is perfectly alright. It Is, for Aston.
The new lord does not care what flag
he registers under so long as the cap
italist system is not interfered with.
Aga Khan entered horse in the New
market race. We are not acquainted
with this gentleman, but 1t is a safe
assumption that he is some princely
oriental faker who sold out his coun-

enable him to spend the rest of his
life in riotous luxury.
TNHE United States is not the only
i country that has trouble with the
liquor question. The King Of Jugo-
Slayia has placed his older brother
George in a sanitarium. Too much
rum is given as the reason. But It is
quite possible that too many knives
is a more likely reason. A royal
windpipe in Balkan country is not
worth a calico necktie, and no doubt
the King of Jugo-Slavia feels consid-

loving brother safely tucked away in
a bughouse.
