Modern automotive comfort equip

quately control spring recoil immeas-
urably relieve driving strain. They
give the car a greater reliability"
and reliability and make it vastly
easier to steer. Consequently. the
mar whose car is equipped with them
has less occasion for frowning and,
all other things being equal, should
be much less liable to the typical and

a just after he was discharged
from the army and that five-year-
old car looks and runs today almost
as well as most cars do after they
have been driven a year.
/ asked him how he keeps his ma
chine in such excellent condition and
why it was that the original finish
was so remarkably good after such
a long time
His answer, 1 believe, is good to
pass along to other car owners. It
was summed up in one word, Care
He said that every morning before
he started to town he busted his ma
chine thoroughly with a light cloth
dampened with auto polish, washing
off any mud that had collected the
day before, looked over the tires
tested. them with a gauge, turned
down a grease cup or two and ther
drove it away. This, he said, took
him less than ten minutes eacF
morning.
One morning a week he spent al
hour or two going I'VE his car more
thoroughly. An motor adjustment
were attended to at this time and the
storage battery was tested with
hydrOmeter and water was added /
needed.
Every month he spent an extr;
hour or two greasing his car, apply
ing top dressing to the top and sid
curtains to waterproof and preserv
them. Any Clipped parts or place
starting to rust were touched u
with a little air-drying enamel.
The result is that after five years

Nearly $50, 10000 O Paid
in Gas Taxes Last Year.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
Nearly S~8O,OOO,OOO was collected
from the mOtOrist in the form Of gaso-
line taxes in the year 1924 and was
used OF Is available very largely for
road maintenance and construction ac-
cOrding to the bureau Of public roads
Of the United States Department Of
Agriculture. Thirty-hve of the 4S
states and the District Of Columbia
imposed a tax, the rate ranging from
one to three cents per gallon in all
states except Arkansas, which levied a
fOur-cent tax.
The total amount collected during
the year was $79,7 34.49O, and Of this
amount S48, 711.326 was made available
for road construction and maintenance
under the supervision Of the state high
way departments. A large share Of the
remainder was turned over to county
and local road funds. In a few states
a portion is turned v e to general
funds, school funds, and for miscel-
laneous purposes.
Although 35 states impose a gaso.
line tax, It affects only about half OF
the motor vehicles, since several Of
the states which do not impose a tar
have large registrations. The amount
paid. annually by the average motor
ist where the tax IS collected is $1O.3C
per vehicle.

Most Serious Accidents
At Railroad Crossings

Probably more serious accidents Oc-
cur among motorists at railroad cross
ings than at any other points in the
highways. hardly a day passing that
does not see two or three accidents Of
this kind chrOnicled in the press. These
accidents have become so frequent
and serious that they furnish a most
potential argument in favor Of the
adjustment Of grade crossings. In the
light Of all this, It behOOves the motor
ist to know just what is expected Of
him by the law at points of this kind.
From the cases reviewed, it would
seem that the courts have placed the
duty to stop, look and listen at rail-
road crossings %sQuarely upon the mo-
tOrist. He cannot hope to recover for
injury received at points Of this kind
unless he can show entire freedom
from cOntributOry negligence.
And in exercising the required care
he must Of necessity take into cOnsid'
Grafton the physical surroundings Of
the particular place, such as trees
houses, ETC., that may Obstruct his
view. If the surroundings demand it
he must not only stop, look and listen
but should get put Of his machine and
walk ahead to make certain the way is
clear. Unless he takes these precau
tons the probabilities are he will no
be free from an imputatiOn Of negli
gence that will seriously interfere will

Traction Lines Own Buses.
OF the traction lines which have es-
tablished their own bus units, one in
Ohio holds the Middle West record with
an average monthly passenger busi-
ness of $4,000 fares. The high mark
for the nation is held by a Maryland
line which carries 251, 900 every month.
The bus has been recognized as an es-
sential and integral part Of trans
p0rtatiOn system, and with the spread
Of the gospel Of hard-surfaced high
ways, it is growing annually In impor-
tance.
There is no doubt that motor bus
lines as auxiliary transportation units
are an established part Of our national
business life. The steady development
Of this means Of travel from the old
jitney days to the present luxury Of
rubber-tired "parlOr cars" is ~cOnclus-
i've proof Of this assertion.
Of greater Importance. however, is
the fact that merchants have found
that their trade expansion has been
greater along the route Of motor trans
p~OrtatiOn lines following the course Of
Well-made, hard-surfaced highways,
than In any other sections. After a
city has become well established in a
business way, local stores sOOn reach
Il point Of satUratiOn with regard TO
expansion in selling. The only method
of overcoming this threatened stagna-
ton is TO reach new trade channels.
One striking factor must obtain, how.
ever, II this ideal situation Is to be
developed to its true value. There
must be roads that will stand up un-
der the heavy traffic and be In shape

DUN'S REVIEW

Predicts General Improvement
in New Year, With Healthy
Industrial Expansion

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-The year
1924 was period of fluctuating
business, with sharp Irregularities
and contrasts, yet with a distinct
gain in activity during the closing
months, according to Dun's. Po-
litical uncertainties, by causing
added conservatism and hesitation,
accentuated the contraction in trade
which had occurred in various lines,
but the result of the national cleo
ton in November had a reassuring
and stimulating effect and brought
about a. decided revival. The in
creased confidence that developed
throughout the country was man.
Tested both in the placing of de-
ferred orders and in the greater
willingness to make forward COM
mitments, while the sound basic
conditions, with the improved finan-
cial status of the grain farmers,
were regarded as foreshadowing q
continuation of the commercial ex-
pansion.

fallen to low levels during the sum-
mer, began to recover more rapidly,
and the average rate of steel out
put had reached IS per cent by the
end Of December. The previous cur
tailment in different industries had
been necessitated by the dispropor-
ton between supply and demand.
but producing facilities were more
fully utilized when buying subse-
quently broadened, and many addi-
tons to working forces were made.
The position of sellers, moreover, was
strengthened by advancing markets
for both raw materials. and manu-
featured goods, and the notable rise
in prices on the Stock Exchange,
with unprecedented dealings, reflect
ed the propect of better earnings by
corporate interests. These were
some Of the phases which attained
late in the year and
which tended to offset in large
the unfavorable situation
that had formerly prevailed.
The great rise in grain prices,
materially strengthened
the financial position of the farmers
in the West and the Northwest, al
though it was not until the late
months that this phase began to be
in an increased con-
of merchandise in those
sections.
The year 1924 has been an unusual
one in the iron and steel industry.
showing marked variations in the
rate of production. During the first
production increased at a
very rapid pace, followed by an
equally rapid decline in the second
quarter, and the low point was
reached in July. Later there was a.
gradual increase which continued
through the third and fourth quar-
tiers, particularly following the cleo

not yet available, it is estimated that
the years output of steel ingots will
exceed 100000 gross tons, which
is over 81 per cent of capacity. This
with an average of 66 per
cent for the five preceding years,
but is below 1923. when the output
was about 40,000,000 tons.
