CLOSED CAR PER|LS
SOLVED BY CAUTION
Drivers Advised to Remem-
her New Conditions Come
j With This Type Auto.

Misuse of closed cars and unfamil-
iarity with the rules of safety for the
new "closed-car era" are declared to
be an unrecogniZed cause of many au-
tomobile accidents, according to a bull
letin Just issued by the American Au-
tomobile Association.
In the opinion of A. A. A. officials,
accidents will decrease as soon as the
motoring public learns to operate
closed cars more safely and at the
same time revises its ideas of caution
to At the new conditions.
DRIVERS have gone suddenly from
their open models" says the A. A. A.
paper, ito their closed cars without
appreciating the new type of danger
that is always associated with, any
thing one is not familiar with. They
feel that what they have learned with
regard to safety in its connection with
open-car driving will suffice for their
new type of motoring. They allow
this ignorance to win for them the
reputation of being careless.
Visibility Is Contrasted.
visibility in closed cars is actually
better than in curtained open cars, but
the closed cars shortcomings are OF
different kind. The problem is for
each driver to discover this difference
and act accordingly.
BY taking undue liberties with the
advantages of the closed car much of
its inherent safety has been nullitied.
Drivers have felt that because they
were shielded against the elements
they were immune from danger. Thus
we have found thousands of motorists
venturing forth in storms that would
not take so great a toll of human life
if motordom were still on an open-car
basis.
Motorists have taken great lib
critics with the speed which closed
cars make possible by reason of their
extra weight and their ability to
shield against the wind. Many persons
are driving far faster than they
imagine, and are thus unprepared for
the dangers which invariably accom-
pany ones ignorance of speed. The
A. A. A. agrees with engineers that
highway speeds will be materially
higher within few years, but such
increased speed cannot be safe until
drivers are prepared to handle it."
Safety Measures Outlined.
The A. A A outlines the following
suggestions for the average driver
who buys a closed car:
Learn that you may be travelling
at a higher rate of speed without
grade is slightly downward. Speed is
always a hazard when you are not
aware of your actual speed.
Learn that physical comforts Of
fered by the closed body in adverse
weather do not alter the highway
hazards.
Learn that though you can see out
better in your closed car than you
could through rain curtains the few
Instructions to vision, such as the
body posts, are at points you are not
accustomed to.
Learn that other drivers in closed
cars are usually as unfamiliar with
the new conditions as you are, and
that the safest plan is always to give
n bit to the other fellow

BUSES PLAY BIG PART
IN RURAL SCHOOL LIFE
Nation Now Has 1886 Such

47O,533 Children Daily.

Motor travel is playing large part
in the building up of consolidated
rural schools in the United States.
Throughout the country there is a
tendency to combine one-room schools
into large central buildings, providing
transportation for the children who
must travel some distance.
According to figures supplied the
National Automobile Chamber of Com
merce by county superintendent, 49,
656 motor busses are used in this serv-
ice and 470,533 children are trans

CENSUS IS REVISING
TRAFFIC DEATH DATA
Many Cities Protest-Want Fatal
ity Charged to Actual Place
of Accident. \

Revision in the schedules provided
for obtaining traffic statistics has
been made by the Department of Com.
merce in accordance with protests re-
ceived from a number of cities. Ac-
cording to reports received by Secre-
tary Hoover, as chairman of the
National Conference on Street and
Highway Safety, number of cities
have objected to the comparative
fatality statistics presented by the
Bureau of Census because the figures
credit to the cities the total number
of deaths occurring within their
limits. but do not differentiate be-
tween deaths resulting from accidents
which occurred within the corporate
limits and deaths which resulted from
accidents occurring outside the city
limits.
Data Is Misleading.
These cities feel that traffic condi-
tions on their streets should not be
held responsible for the death of a
victim of an accident occurring out
side the city who has been brought
into the city for hospital treatment
or some other purpose.
In accordance with these protests,
the Bureau of Census has revised it's
schedules, and it is now proposed that
in the reports received from State
and local officials that they shall show
not only the cause of deaths from
automobiles but the place where the
accident occurred. This will enable
the bureau to charge the death TO the
location where the accident occurred
and not to the community where
the victim died.
Registrars of all the States are be-
ing requested to cooperate with the
bureau in compiling accurate data on
traffic fatalities. All but seven States
have pledged full cooperation.

sport in trying to get the better of a
man who has a handicap like that
Some cities may be underpoliced.
But no city can put on enough traffic
men to begin TO handle the traffic sit
uation unless the citizens, whether
walking or driving, realize that they
have a common job in getting the best
and most efficient traffic regulation.
Zone big trouble has been our fail
ure to realize that the police officer is
primarily a dispatcher, not a punisher.
He doesn't want to arrest you; he
doesn't want to put the time in court
That is only his secondary job. What
he wants is to keep traffic moving
smoothly. The traffic officer is as
much a hero as the man who dis
patches great limited trains and the
radio operator on board the ship.
Reason for Encouragement.
1--WE have reason to be encouraged
by the fact that fatal motor accidents
for the first two months of this year
in cities of 100000 population or more
were 8 per cent lower than last year
Philadelphia, Detroit, Los Angeles
and San Francisco are particularly
TO be commended for their progress
In New York, the City Safety Bureau
deserves credit for the energetic work
it has done, particularly in promoting
safety pledges in schools.
But there are other factors that
give sharp warning. Certain other
cities are losing ground.
BASED on the success in some mu-
inequalities, these points are suggest
ed as helpful ways Of improving traf-
fic:
Help the traffic officer by arousing
public opinion to voluntary confor-
nifty to law.
Interest the school children and
show them how they can do their
part.
Revoke the licenses Of drivers who
place selfish interests above the COM
mon need.
Relieve congestion Immediately at
points where traffic Is choked up.

SHOULD DRIVE EVENLY.
Rule to Observe When Windshield
Wiper Slows Down.

Drivers who wonder why the vac
incorporated windshield wiper slows
down, or perhaps stops, now and again
as the car is being operated will be
interested to know that by driving a
little more evenly the wiper can be
kept going at a constant speed. This
is important if the rain is starting to
freeze on the glass.
Each time the wiper stops it is an
indication that the driver is stealing
the ,wiper's power through feeding gas
too quickly. Sudden acceleration re-
quires an open throttle, and when the
throttle is wide the pistons draw al
most entirely through the carburetor
and thus reduce the suction through
the wiper's suction tube to a mini
mum.
To keep the wiper running without
Interruptions it is also necessary to
refrain from racing the car in second
speed.

of other uses and made to take the

Conservation of electrical current is
viewed by many engineers as a desir-
able goal, owing to the great drains
upon the battery generator system of
the newer cars, where there are nix TO
eight cylinders and higher compres-
sion. Electric drive to take the place
OF the conventional clutch and gear
drive has been tremendously hindered
by reason of the necessity for re-
serving a large amount of the gener-
ated current for lighting purposes.
With the highways permanently
lighted progress might continue in
this direction without further hand
leap.

changes, engineers predict, even if

Furthermore it may be said in all truth that properties are being located at the present time by men who know so little of the game that they scarcely know the business end of a pros pector's pick and are only partially cognizant of the proper method of locating claim.
 With a large part of the dis trict still practically unexplor- ed, there is ample room for both the genuine and amatuer orospector to exercise their activities. Big sections of the Texas Creek area have never heard a prospector's footfall; he Chickamin section, short distance beyond, has been risited by but few, in spite of numerous reports of wide dis ;emination of minerals.
