The late Capt. George L. Skolfield
of Brunswick made a voyage years ago
on the Bath-built battleship Georgia
ron was sent down the east coast of
the United States; and used to tell an
amusing incident occurring in this con-
nection. The long line of battleshps,
separated by regular intervals, ex-
tended many miles, north and south;
and it was required that each noon
observations be taken on each vessel,
the latitude and longitude worked out
and hoisted to the mast head, being
denoted by appropriate flags. They on
the Georgia noticed that the following
battleship never hoisted their reckon
ing first, but always waited till the
Georgia flags went up and then, in
moment up came their flags, with just
the necessary change which the slight
difference in latitude necessitated. Sus-
pecting something, they on the Geor-
gia one day hoisted a result purposely
slightly incorrect: and sure enough. in
a moment up came the flags of the fol-
lowing, ship. with just that constant
difference shown. Thus their suspi-
cions were found to be justified, for
the trap" showed that the northward
ship did not work out their own OBJ
servations or indeed they took ANY,
but simply took the Georgia's figures
and changed them, saving themselves
the labor of making the calculation.

razor blade stropper that he hopes
soon will be put on the market.
Patents for the implement have been
obtained and Boston firm now is

the human hand in reversing the

The Washington times., 1925-09-23

Out of Chrysler engineering and manu-,
featuring skill come the extraordinary
performance and value of Chrysler Four
plus quality and beauty never before
equaled in its price class.
The ChrysIer Four is, in the most precise
sense, a fine car-6ne in principle, fine
in materials, and fine in its standards of
manufacture and assembly.
1t is built with painstaking care, and to
degree of accuracy and precision, here

equipped manufacturing plants.
Obviously, when such quality is COM

portant changes for the better.
A number of experts are nothing

at congested points 1t Is pointed
out that while regulations are being
designed with the idea OF SAVING
human life automobiles are being
urged to hurry at crossings. let
hurrying is recognized to pc IN
imical to the basic rules OF safety.
The speed at which the human
being can travel is definitely nm
tied, which means that in all trafttc
regulation allowance should be made
for the fact that pedestrian can
get away so quickly and noTquicker.
To figure on his getting out Of the
way any quicker than he is able
to is identically the same as forcing
him to cross in front of a moving
street car. Yet, despite the fact
that this point an traffic regulation
is recognized, automobiles are run
ing at higher and higher speeds
at crossings being encouraged to do
so in the interests of speeding up
vehicular traffic.
What Worries Cities
AS one expert points out, what is
the use of talking safety while each
city appears to be interested pri-
marily in keeping the streets from
being congested?

on the assumption that there is

Sustained demand and grow
ing list of untitled orders has
caused the Chevrolet Motor Com
pany to increase heavily its pro
duction schedule during Septem-
Der.
The schedule revision involves
an. increase of more than is per

The new schedule calls for 52,165
motor cars and trucks in Sep
TENDER, Chevrolet record for
that month and only 1,078 less
than the highest production month
in the history Of the company.
Both day and night shifts have
been augmented to maintain the
new schedule. The company shipped
4,284 cars Ito dealers August 81,
establishing a new record 500
higher than the largest previous
shipment for one day.
The company, which recently
made its 2,000,000th car, attained
during August a greater produc-
ton thus far for 1926 than the
entire production of 1924.

The motor vehicle license issued
to GENERATORS in the State where the
investigator was talking reads:
''This certifies that the person
named below has complied with the
provisions of law concerning the
licensing of motor vehicle opera
tors and is hereby licensed to OPP
crate a motor vehicle on the high
ways of this State
Since the license named no spe-
cific make of car, or type, the term
"a motor vehicle is construed to
mean ANY motor vehicle" 1t is
typical of the licensing of motor
vehicle operators in general, and is
by no means confined to the par
ticular locality.
See Changes for Better
Just picture for a moment what
this means. Here is the law grant
ing Mary Doe the right to drive a
ten-ton truck should she feel in
clined to do so. Here is John Doe
privileged to drive any automobile,
regardless of whether it is safe or
unsafe.
The Inconsistencies, say the ex-
perts, are too numerous to per-
NIT of detailed discussion of any
one at this stage of the investiga-
ton. Everyone just now is inter.
ested primarily in discovering how
lax and absurd the whole situation
Is. When this is clearly fixed in
the public mind it is felt that there
will be some rather surprising ac-

airy coverage helped to cut down
the number Of accidents. It. Is
argued by many that the insurers
should have kept the lid down now
that they had started something
worth while.
Inconsistency i'm Laws
There is something rather star
ting in the fact that the law allows
anyone who claims he can drive
one particular car 10 take the wheel
of any car and that the Insurers
will indemnify for any losses which
such a driver may entail when he
has borrowed, with permission, some
car upon which insurance has been
written.
The alarming increase in automo-
bile accidents and fatalities through
out the country is not so alarming
when one. recalls that persons who

about vehicular congestion, where
as the facts show that most lives
are lost where vehicles are at
liberty to run along about as they
please. There seems to be some
thing inconsistent about the whole
business.
Take it from another angle. The
casualty insurers recently revised
their rules and regulations so as to
eliminate the necessity Of restrict
ing public liability and property

noting that insurance rates We're

ity to drive cars can operate their

been examined and where people at

of ability to be displayed by those
at the wheel of other cars.
Here lis an inconsistency that Is
now receiving serious attention.:
The man who halls from a State
where examinations are not the
rule, or from a section of the con-
tinent where the holding of an

by law, is privileged to drive for a

licenses and examinations are re-

permission of the owner he is
privileged to drive a car that does
not belong to him. But, in spite OF
this leniency he is not allowed to
drive a locally licensed vehicle I'M
less he first takes an examination
and obtains license!
Time Wasted In Talk
From the standpoint Of safety,
what difference does it make
whether an unexamined driver hap
pens to be driving a car with
foreign license plate or a local one?
There is still the likelihood that an
incompetent person is at the wheel
of an automobile.
AS one man has put it. accident
prevention and traffic regulation
make good topics for conversation.
All discussions to the contrary not
withstanding, these subjects are
not being taken seriously.
What, for example, does it mean
the warning, Road under repair.
Travel at your own risk?" Some
say that this is a clear statement
of the fact that the State is more
! interested in repairing road than
in saving a life. Otherwise traffic
wcu.d be rerouted over safe detours.
This is putting it straight from
the shoulder" The fairer view OF
! the matter is that the whole of
motordom has been so muddled
with inconsistencies that even the
highway departments are guilty OF
Inadvertently contributing to the
menace of highway hazards.
The greatest inconsistency of all,
many contend, is the present apathy
toward the subject. The facts are
no secret, yet far too many offic-
ials are proceeding on the assump-
ton that we must look to some
hidden cause of present problems.
The general motoring public could
do motoring a great service by at
tending the many traffic and safety
councils being held around the
country and by helping TO focus
attention upon these inconsistencies
the real root of the trouble.
