The driver in the dedication motor
race at the new speedway near Laurel

toward this years world champion
ship title.
Points toward the championship
are awarded at each of the great

The impending classic Is foreseen
by motor race officials as one of the
most spectacular of the year, due to
the lead which young De Paolo has
captured by winning the recent
sweepstakes at indianapolis and the
Flag day event at Altoona, Pa. He
now has 1000 points toward the

RAPS POLICE SPEED
!. IN BOOTLEG CHASE:
Automotive Trade Body Will
i Voice Protest at Meeting
4. Tomorrow Night.

Vigorous protest against the prac-
tice of the police in driving pell-mell
through the streets after bootleggers
will be voiced by members of the
Washington Automotive Trade Asso-
citation at their monthly meeting to-
morrow night at the City Club.
The attitude of the local automobile
dealers on this method OF enforcing
the prohibition law has been eX-
pressed by leaders of their group to
Director of Traffic EIdridge. 1t was
pointed out that such a practice is
a menace to the public safety and
often results in the numbering of
innocent citizens and the destruction
Of property. The dealers are incensed
over the dangerous speed at which
the police cars are allowed TO drive
through the streets, and they pro-
pose to bring this question to the
attention of the proper authorities
with a view to putting a stop to such
driving.
ImperiIs the Innocent. He Says.
There is no reason why the police
should be allowed to jeopardiZe the
lives of innocent citizens" said Paul
B. Lum, president of the trade asso-
citation. in discussing the recent acci-
dent iR which one person was killed
and several injured by a bootlegger's S
car. There are other means, and
probably more effective. the police
may take in catching violators of the
law.
1T stands TO reason that the boot
logger who is being pursued is going
at breakneck speed in his effort TO
escape the authorities. He has no
consideration under such circum-
stances for the rules of safety, and
the probabilities are that his mad
flight will result in death and de-
struction. In way, the police are
TO blame for every accident that re-
suits from such chase.
I'm the interest of public safety
this practice should be stopped.
Sirens on police cars will not solve
the problem. The pursued car is
blocks ahead of the police car and IS
bent on escape, regardless of the cost
to human life and TO property
Mr.. Lum said this was d matter of
vital Importance and should receive
the serious consideration of the Com
missioners of the District. the police
authorities and all public-spirited
citizens who have the interest of the
community at heart. He said Unless
action were taken Immediately to pre-
vent such high speeds on crowded
streets, the lives of pedestrians and
motorists would be in danger con,
stantly of being snuffed out by either
a madrushing bootleggers car or by
an equally mad-rushing police car.
Both are a menace 10 public safety,
he added.

DEAD SPOTS" HELP
DRIVERS COMF0 F0RT.
Places in Road Where There
Is No Traffic Can Be
Found if Sought.

Sensing the need for more orderly
highway traffic on Sundays and holi.
days, Rudolph Jose, local Cadillac
dealer, makes the suggestion that
drivers attempt to find the dead
spots" in such traffic. rather than to
keep trying to get ahead, which, he
says, may be the surest way of get
ting into further congestion.
According to Mr.. Jose, an airplane
view OF traffic on fany crowded high
way would show certain sections
where there is comparatively little
travel, while other sections are con-
gested to a point where motoring is
far from enjoyable, the sections, how
ever, being movable and not confined
to curves, narrow roads or towns.
The dead spots in highway traffic
offer relief from the parade style of
motoring" he explains. Amy motor
list who sets out with the idea of
finding a dead spot and who stays
in 1t when he has located one will find
that he can motor on Sundays and
holidays without the customary an
noyances. Most drivers make the
mistake of speeding through the
dead spots only to drive for another
five miles behind smoking exhausts.
GSt dHSttu VI the man WHO Is just
loafing along. 1t Isn't pleasant to
take the exhaust fumes of his car
But when you have managed to get
by, don't race through the half mile
of open road just ahead. Slow down
and enjoy the privacy.
There will be other motorists who
are in a hurry, but they will speed
past and be out of your way before
you have time to consider them a
nuisance. Be careful, however, not
to run so slowly as to start to hold
up a line of cars. The secret of com
fort in driving over the week ends
Is to be able to keep as far away from
other cars as possible. Keep way
behind the line of cars that are try.
ing to get past a slow poke. yet
way ahead of the slow pol1es behind.
It's simply a matter of distribution
and order"

KEROSENE IN ENGINE.
Improper Use Only Adds Carbon,
Experts Declare.

Whether kerosene put into your
engine will clean out the carbon or
add more carbon depends largely upon
how the job is done. In the old days
1t was customary to see a conscien-
tious car owner forcing kerosene in
through the carburetor while the en-
gine was racing. The more smoke
that came out the more carbon he
thought he was removing, whereas he
was usually adding carbon TO the cyl
inders.
When kerosene goes into a hot
engine 1t is converted into a gas, leav-
Ing deposit just as the usual gas
does, and often more deposit. On the
other hand, IL kerosene is put into
the engine when 1t Is stone cold 1t
is likely to run down past the piston
rings quickly and do very little good
With the engine warm, however, the
Kerosene may boil or fry little when
1t touches the hot metal, with the
result that 1t is much more active
In loosening the carbon deposits. Once
these are loose they will blow out
through the exhaust, though there is
always the danger of getting carbon
under the exhaust valves, causing
them to leak compression, thus Offset.

Deducted From Figures.

Is traffic capable of taking care of
itself? According to statements made
in the latest traffic survey made by
the National Automobile Chamber of
Commerce, the bigger the city, on the
average. the smaller is the percentage
of police force assigned to traffic duty.
One hundred per cent of the police
force of Decatur, H., is assigned to
traffic duty, whereas in New York
CITY only 13 per cent attend TO traffic.
This would seem to support the opin-
ion that when there are enough cars
on the streets they will almost take
care of themselves. Public opinion or
spirit virtually prohibits a display of
eelfshness and daredeviltry.
