Commission Votes to DiScOn-

Adverse legislative reports and
constant criticism have been effective
in eliminating the equipment depart

sion.
Decision to close out the depart
ment by July and to dispose of the
surplus war material held by it was
made today at meeting of the
commission attended by |. r. Moe,
Herman Hardt and W. G. Black, sec
rotary and chief engineer.
All employees of the department
will be notified by the secretary of
tho decision to close and an effort
will be made to discontinue the en-
tire department which has been the
object Of much severe criticism by
legislators, officials and citizens over
a period of several years.
Surplus war material now in the
possession Of the department will be
disposed of in the most expedient
way. possibly by auction. The COM
mission has decided that dealing in
war material received from the gov
eminent is improbable. This, to-
gethcr with the fact that q battery
of ccnsure has been trained on the
department almost since its creation
in 1919. moves the commission to
make the elimination.
1t is the intention of the commits
sion to collect all outstanding debts
owed it BY counties which bought
the surplus war material. Final
disposition of all material will be
decided on at n future meeting
The department has been the sub
icCt of legislative investigations

be discontinued An inventory by
the 10th Legislative assembly showed
that the accounts Of the department
were kept in a "laX manner" and that
many items were unacc0urtnd for. 1t

Second, he processes keen interest
in the why's and wherefores of a

moments, undo all of the initial
safety precautions by violation Of
one of the simplest, yet fundamen

Whatever the cause for this In

Immediately snatching back the right

get drivers into trouble Mr.. Baugh-
man said. The funny part about it
is that the driver who, under the cir

yielded it is in exactly the same po-
sition as if he had dashed madly

This, however is another rule for in

Here is an illustration: a motorist
with a newly acquired used car be-
came annoyed and alarmed over a
SCra ping noise from one of the rear
wheels. His first thought was that
prompt mbrica ton of the compl ct e
rear axle and of the brake rods failed
TO produce desired results. He next
suspected that the particular wheel
was out of true, perhaps scraping as
it turned or causing the brake band
TO press too tightly at one point In

to reveal any misalignment. The
owner was then badly puzzled be-

BALTIMORE, January 10.-Polite-
ness and courtesy are all right in
their place, but they have no place
in automobile driving, as far as Civ
ing right of way at street intersec-
tions is concerned, in the opinion of
E. Austin Baughman, Maryland com
missioner of motor vehicles. The
habit of some motorists of starting
out to do an overcourteous AL
phonse and CASTOR" act, followed by
both getting disguised at the delay
and starting ahead at the same time,
is, he said, a very active and real
contributing cause to many of the
so-called right -of-way" collisions

damage suit-if not, indeed, a trip
to the hospital for the occupants of
one or both of the vehicles.

speedy, others at so, 25 or 40. 1t de-
pends to a large extent upon the
construction of the motor it's size
and its condition. A month from
now the critical speed of your engine
may change. though the variation
will be very slight. Just at present
it is evidently found at a car speed
of 81 miles an hour. When you drive
below or above this speed the engine
operates apparently without vibra-
tion.
Then that's why this car seems to
settle down and run like a clock at
40."> Smith inferred.
Exactly"
Cant they get rid if this critical
speed?"
"I was coming to that. Some max IS
of cars claim to eliminate this en-
tirely through the use of second,
though smaller. fly wheel attached
to the front end of the engine shaft,
or by means of other forms of pat
ented vibration dampeners Great
care in the construction of some high
priced cars helps to minimize this
ma ximum point of vibration. Wheth-
er some of the new engineering prin-
ciples will serve to eliminate this
characteristic of the engine alto
gether remains to be seen; but in
the meantime any.car owner can pro-
tect himself against excessive en-
gine wear by discovering the approx
innate critical speed of his engine and

| low it,
Period of Vibration.
Don't they sometimes refer to this
as the period of vibration'?' Smith
| asked, recalling some automobile cat
alogues.
That's just a popular way of re-
ferring to the critical speed" 1 ex-
planned. at has the advantage of
| warning the driver that the maxi
mum point of vibration may not stay
at one exact speed of the engine,
| but may vary over a brief period
| 1t helps the driver who hasn't got a
very good ear for vibration to know
that he may not be saving his en-
gine excessive wear If it is just run
/ ming slightly below or above the us
ual critical speed.
THE term period of vibration
however, is loosely used. In science
| it means the time between a phas sc
of vibration and its recurrence, which
| would be like the complete or double
| swing of a pendulum. All the parts
| of the engine which vibrate have
their periods. and frequently COM
| bination of these periods will pro-
| duce a rhythmic beat - particularly
| noticeable in a six-cylinder motor
There is beat in four or an eight
cylinder motor, but 1t is due to tim
| ing rather than to pure vibration
| When these periods of Vibration
reach a maximum point the engineers
| prefer to refer to it as the period o1
vibration. But, call 1t what you will
| the fact remains that it's hostile tC
the engine and must therefore be
avoided"
"Tll prefer to call it 'critica
speed" Smith wisely decided, be
cause l can associate it with the crit
ical results which will follow from
driving a car habitually at a speed
