| passed on to the right brake band.
Much of the wear on the right
front tires of cars today can be
traced to the crowned road.
The operator of the car is con-
stantly trying to climb back to the
crown of the road, resulting in ex-
c@ssive double motion of the front
wheels, particularly the right front
one.
Crowned roads are to be avoided
because of the possibility of being
caught in the center of the road
when another car is approaching
Unexpectedly.
In flatter types of roads drivers
are enabled to keep over on their
own side without being incon-
venienced in doing so.
Most of the collision at curves
occur on crowned roads, drivers I'M
consciously cutting the corners be-
cause that is the only way they
can be taken with comfort.
Fast Driving Reduced
The habit of driving fast over
rough roads also has been aban-
doned by most thinking motorists.
This habit developed with the
introduction of balloon tires and
excellent spring control devices, but
it was soon found that much of
the advantage Of easy riding was
lost through trying to drive too
fast.
It was also found that over a
very rough road a car equipped
with balloons and spring controls
actually rode better than it did at
lower speeds over the same road,
but this advantage was made by
sacrificing the life Of the inspiring
weight of the car, such. as the
wheels, axles, wheel bearings, etc.
And when the motorist cut down
his speed the car did not ride SO
WELL. so he decided to forego the
rough road altogether.
Choosing roads with greater care
has much to do with the increase
in traffic on the splendid White
Horse Pike from Camden, N. j.,
to Atlantic City.
A three-day count now shows
traffic to be averaging 10000 We
hicles per day for a typical Sat
urday, Sunday and Monday.
Much Of this traffic represents
New York cars taking a round |
about way to the Jersey coast re-
sort rather than to take rougher |
roads by a shorter route across the |
State.
Americas Busiest Street
Park avenue in New York is the
second heaviest travelled street in
America with a traffic count of |
E0,560 in twenty-four hours
Fifth avenue is third with 80 900 /
vehicles. Much of this traffic |
could use other streets when CO.
ng up and down Manhattan, but

Travel is increasing on the better
paved roads and decreasing on those
which are rough, despite the greater
ease in traversing bad roads as q
result of balloon tires and easier
riding cars.
The Pennsylvania Highway De-
partment. in designing highways
for the future, is already taking
into consideration the attraction a
has designed its new highways to
accommodate much more traffic
than they might be required to
handle at present.
In spite of all improvements in
the riding qualities of cars the
rough road or the badly constructed
road. Is still menace to the auto
mobile and is responsible for many
Of the automobiles ills.
Traced to Shimmy
Much of the peculiar wear on
the front balloon tires is being
traced to shimmy or wheel wobble
on rough roads. This is not the
dangerous shimmy which a driver
might experience with poorly de-
signed steering.tire arrangement at
high speed, but a wobble that
passes more or less unnoticed.
The driver knows he is riding
over rough road, but is not in
convenlenced. Meanwhile the treads
of the tires are wearing ''spotty."
There is, it seems. considerable
misunderstanding as to what con-
stitutes good road.
Road builders have now rather
widely condemned the crowned
road, the type that is higher in the
center than at the sides.
Progressive motorists are also
oondemming it.
It is a dangerous type of road in
dry weather as we'll as wet. for
the reason that a driver has to
cling to the wheel in order to stick
on the road when passing other
cars. otherwise he is apt to go into
the ditch. If he attempts to cling
to the middle of the road, as he
should, he is forced to try an ex-
cessive amount Of steering which
greatly increases the possibility of
skidding. side-swiping other cars
and the like.
Some Throw Grease
Many years ago experienced
motorists discovered that the crown
ed road was responsible for the
throwing of grease at the right |
rear brake drum.
With the rear axle on an angle |

ter paved streets. despite the traf.
fic.
1t may be that the motorist
would rather be delayed a little IN
congested traffic than have his car
tied up in the shop for a day
while the spring is being replaced
or the steering assembly gone over.
1t may be that he believes he
can make better time, on the aver
age, over smooth roads and streets
even if traffic is heavier. Clearly
he prefers the smoother road even
where the rough road offers free
dom from traffic.

TRUTH is stranger than fiction is the belief
i of twenty-seven- year-old Herbert Glass
man who has been elected president and
treasurer of the newly formed Glassman Rent
Car Corporation, $25O,oOO organization,
which was started on capital of $50.
Mr.. Glassman was born in London. England,
November %, 1898, and during his early youth
sold newspapers around the city of Washington.
In his early teens he joined the army and after
the war ended entered the selling game. He
joined the Loos-Wiles Biscuit Company and
during his fifteen months with that firm estab-
lished remarkable record. Mr.. Glassman then
entered the automobile business, joining the
sales force Of the then newly formed Triangle
Motor Company and during period of less
than two years sold 1,643 Ford cars and trucks
in this city; this record still stands and few
statesmen have even approached it.
