NerD FORKS Hon,icides
Jump to 387 in Year

New York.--Deaths from homicide
in American cities during 1924 reached
the highest rate on record, with New
York showing a slight increase, al
though its record is low for cities o.
more than 100000 population.
The deaths from homicide in New
York, which with the figures on other
cities are given in an article by Fred
erick l.. Hoffman, consulting stalls
tician of the Prudential Insurance
company of America, published In
The Spectator, an insurance journal,
are "a per 100000 of population for
1924, or altogether 387 persons. In
1923 the figures were 81 per 100000.
The average for the n cities COW
cred in the survey is 90 homicides per
100000 population, making New
Yorks record 35 less than the aver
age for the country,
The records of other large cities
are: Philadelphia, 7.6, decrease of
1.8; Chicago, 17.5, an increase of 3.9 /;
Boston, 81, an increase of s.; Pitts

decrease of "A; Cincinnati, 1873, a
decrease of 2.S; San Francisco, 80, a

increase of 8.
The highest death by homicide rate
recorded is given to Jacksonville, Fla,
which had 5S.8 per 100000. but which
was decrease of 20 from the year
previous. The lowest record went to
Concord, N. H.; Maiden, Mass. New

WEAR CAUSED BY
SEVERE BRAKING
Tests Show Tires, Wheels,
Spokes, Gears and Joints
Are Affected.

Tires, wheels, spokes, differential
gears and universal joints; these are
the parts of an automobile which suf-
fer most from sudden and severe
brake applications. according to tests
just completed.
These tests revealed why 1t is pos
sible for a car to skid on a perfectly
dry pavement. 1t was found that
locked wheels slide along asphalt on a
film of soft rubber, melted from the
tread Of the tire by fractional heat.
In such cases, 1t was found, the car
will travel farther before stopping
than when the brakes are so adjusted
and applied by the operator that they
cannot lock the wheels.
Inspect Brakes Often.
In the interest of greater safety, car
owners should see to 1t that their
brakes are more frequently inspected;
certainly no less than once month,
or, better, every 500 miles. A simple
road test, moreover, can be made by
determining within what distance a car
can be stopped at various speeds.
When this has been determined, with
any particular car, liberal margin of
safety should be added for actual con-
ditions of service.
1t should be remembered that the
ability to stop car is greatly in
fuenced by the condition of the road
surface. When roads are very wet,
as in heavy transforms, there is less
tendency for car to skid than when
the roads are partially dried or In
what Is known as greasy state"
Should car start to skid when APP
plying the brakes, it is usually due
to the wheels locking.
Stop Skiddnc.
A dangerous skidding can usually
be quickly stopped If driver has
presence Of mind to release the brakes
and apply them second time with
less force. This gives the wheels a
chance to again grip the road. If the
road Is very slippery, as on an Icy road
with light snow on the surface, best
results are obtained by slowing the
car carefully with the engine and
helping with the brake. Lightly loaded
cars, as with the driver only, are more
difficult to stop than loaded ones.
With these points in mind a driver
can quickly learn the tricks" but,
above all, do not have too much con-
fdence in your ability. as lit is better
to no safe than sorrvo

SWEPT TO SEA ON

Nurse Is SaUed When Rect

Nome, Alaska.-After narrowly es
Gaping being carried to sea on cake
of Ice while mushing around Cape
Thompson, far within the Arctic circle
on the north coast of Alaska, and ex"
periencing other narrowing adventures
on an expedition of mercy, Mrs. G. o.
Brady, government nurse, has returned
safely to Kotzebue sound, dispatch
relates.
Mrs. Brady started north March q
from Kotzebue with Superintendent,
Chance to give medical attention In
native villages and schools. Three
hours after the departure Chance and
Mrs. Brady were overtaken by biz
zard and were forced to take refuge
In native cabin at the mouth of Noa-
tax river after IA hours of blind driv-
Ing in temperature of 30 below zero.
When the storm subsidized they con-
tinued to Point Hope, 800 miles north
of Kotzebue sound.
On the return trip Mrs. Brady was
accompanied only by native musher,
as Superintendent Chance had pre-
coded her. Exceptionally high winds
wrenched free ice cakes upon which
Mrs Brady and her guide were round
ing Cape Thompson, and carried them
seward for more than mile before
reef stopped them and they could
make their way ashore.
Old-timers describe the trail from
Point Hope the most dangerous in the
northland.

Care for Spring Clips
Is of Much importance

A point not always observed by the
new car owner is that 1t Is necessary
to tighten the clips which hold the
springs to their seats from time to
time. Though the clips are frightened
firmly when a new car leaves the fac
tory the continual working up and
down of the spring leaves will cause
them to set gradually, thereby some
what loosening the spring clips. These
clips should be drawn up perfectly
tight every once In awhile.
It Is a common error to suppose that
when a spring breaks upon car
plunging into deep hole, the break
age is caused by the shock of the
weight of the car coming down on the
wheels. AS matter of fact, when a
spring gives way under these circum-
stances, the breakage is usually caused
not on the downward movement OF the
spring, but on the rebound. When the
load plunges down, the load is borne
by all leaves simultaneously, whereas
the force OF the rebound is taken by
the leaves individually, one after the
other, and for that reason must be-
come more emphasized when the
spring clips are loosened. Spring
breakage occurs more often with loose
clips than with properly frightened
ones.
After the car has been run for a
while and the springs have assumed
their permanent set, the spring clips
will need tightening only at very long

Difficult to Estimate
Correct Speed of Cars

From the results of experiments
conducted by the psychological depart
ment of an Iowa university it appears
that the average person Is prone to
overestimate the speed of small,
noisy motor car and underestimate
that of large, smooth-running one.
says Popular Mechanics Magazine.
About 100 students were recently
assembled at point past which ma
chimes of different sizes and condi-
tions were driven at known speeds
AS vehicle passed, each person re-
corded on paper his personal estimate
Of its mileage per hour.
Twenty-three trips were made with
the cars, and from study of the sub
sequent tabulations 1t was found that
when driver continually sounded his
horn in passing the students consid-
cred the speed to be about five miles
an hour greater than 1t really was.
The discrepancy was double this when
the rate of a rafting machine was
considered.
OF two cars travelling at equal pace
the smaller was invariably estimated
to travel faster than the other.
1t Is rather interesting, too, that
young men and women who had never
driven a car, made. on the whole, as
nearly accurate estimates as did those
OF greater experience.
Close guesses Of actual speeds wera
made when cars jaunted along at ten
or twelve miles an hour. but when
r5eedat SO or 90 miles the guessAa

Watch Universal
Joints

Universal joints, due to their
location under the floor Of the
car, are usually neglected and
the owner seldom gives them
any attention until they begin to
give trouble. These units of the
car should not be overlooked. If
the joints are of fabric type, see
that every bolt is tight, and cot
ter pins are In place and that
the fabric is not worn at any
point. If mechanical joints are
used, lubrlcate them thoroughly,
and If there is any extra play
in the joint, drive it to q ser
vice station Immediately.

there was a crash. I heard struts

second later l heard another crash
which must have been the control

The nose of the ship started across
