namely, education and regulation,
with enforcement for those who will
not submit. The public must be
taught to recognize their obligations
both as pedestrians and as drivers.
Vehicular traffic on busy streets
should be stopped at regular inter-
walls to let pedestrians cross in safety
at properly designated cross walks.
Each class of traffic should be al
lowed to cross in it's turn.
Permanent Markings Urged.
Gross walks should be designated
plainly by pavement markings for the
benefit of both motorists and pedes-
trians. Proper means of traffic con-
troll should be located at frequent in
tervals along heavy traffic streets,
particularly at peak hours.
'In many cases the attitude of traf-
fc policemen needs correction. They
must function primarily as regulators
and instructors OF traffic. They have
vastly different jobs from the patrol
men yho deal with criminals. The
traffic policemen control the move
ments of those who welcome their direc-
tions and gladly abide by them with
no other thought than full submis-
sion. Dealing with these people in
the same manner as with criminals is
,un- American, but dealing with them
in the sense of public service receives
wholesome response in the form of a
safer community"

Children Under Is
Comprise Third of
Traffic Fatalities
National Safety Council
Urges Care in Driving
Near Youngsters.

Thirty-two per cent of the 20, 0oO
persons killed in automobile acci-
dents last year were children under
10 years of age, according to figures
compiled by the National Safety Coun-
Gil. AS part of a nation wide cam
paign to lower the death toll of such
accidents, during 1925, the council is
urging motorists to exercise greater
care residential sections and near
schools
MANY drivers are careful on con-
gested business streets, but careless
in residential and other districts
where children are to be found In
numbers" says a statement issued by
the council. I'm spite of the danger
many children make the street their
playground, or in chasing each other
or a ball, they may suddenly dash
into the street in front of a moving
vehicle.
DRIVERS should assume that every
child on or near the street is going to
dash suddenly in front of their cars
Drivers should have absolute contro1
of their car not only when children
are playing in the street, but also
when they are playing near the curt
or on the sidewalk; they should drive
slowly in passing schools or play

SAFETY is SOUGHT :
FOR NIGHT DRIVING
A. A. A. Asks Motorists What
Warnings First Attract Notice
in Darkness.

Local motorists are being asked to
cooperate with the American Auto
mobile Association in psychology
test in the interest of greater safety
in night driving, according to Ernest
\. Smith, general manager of the or
ganiza ton.
There is said to be urgent need for
some means of marking barriers
across closed roads so that night
drivers will be spared the many acct
dents and near accidents which are
being reported to the A.. A A ma
tional headquarters. 1t is believed
that the automobile driver is inNthe
best position to decide upon some
method that could be standardized
What method of marking road
construction barriers engages your
attention quickest when you are pro-
ceeding along what you believe to
be an unobstructed road at night? %"
Mr.. Smith is asking the local mo-
torists. Whatever warning engages
your attention first is the safest.
Bear in mind that red light lam
terms are barred from the list of pos
sibilities, since they are very readily
stolen and depend for their proper
operation upon a human element
Somebody must attend to them If
they are to be effective as a safety
measure, and it is just this human
element that opens up possibilities of
trouble.
Some highway departments are
being urged to repaint their barriers
across roads under construction, and
to place white markings on the road
way itself as an extra precaution.
Markings similar to that used by
many localities to designate. dan
gerous crossings also are being sug-
gested. Many of the devices used
to reflect the autos headlight rays,
it is believed, should be used in ad-
dition to other warnings"

S3SO,792 GAS TAX
SPENT ON STREETS
District Motorists Paid I'm
post on 1909 600 Gallons
of Gasoline Last Year. =

All the funds collected from Wash
ington motorists last year on account
Of the gasoline tax were made avail
able for street construction and re-
pair work under the supervision of
the Engineer Commission, according
to figures compiled by the Bureau OF
Public Roads A total of SSS0,I92 was
collected, representing consumption
OF l9,O39,60 gallons of gasoline. The
entire sum collected was applied 10
road work, it is stated.
Thirty-five of the As States and the
District of Columbia, the compilation
shows, imposed a gasoline tax, rang
ing from l to 3 cents a gallon, with
the exception of Arkansas, which I'M
posed a AGENT tax. For the country
as a. whole the amount collected was
$7s,734490, of which S4S,7ll,325 was
made available for road construction
and maintenance work under the
supervision of the State highways de-
partments.
Most Spent for Roads.
A large share of the remainder was
turned over TO county and local road
funds. In a few of the States por-
ton was turned over to general
funds, school funds and for miscel-
laneous purposes
Although SO States and the Dis
triot impose a gasoline tax, 1t affects
only about half of the motor We
hicles, since several of the States
which do not impose a tax have large
registrations. Since the beginning of
the year, however, Kansas, Michigan.
Tennessee, Wyoming and North Caro-
lima have imposed the gasoline tax
the last mentioned State IevNints the
maximum of cents a gallon.
The average amount pail annually
by motorists where the tax was col
lected was $1,000 per vehicle.
Rates Vary Widely.

USE $50 ACRES OF GLASS.
Years Output Of Ford Cars Takes
More Than 1e, $3.50, 900 Square Feet

The Ford Motor Co. last year used
more than 16,660,000 square feet of
plate glass in the production of Ford
passenger cars. This was enough
glass to form a covering for a. 800
acre farm. Closed cars took by far
the larger percentage of the glass.
Only slightly more than 4,650,000

SKID CHAIN TROUBLE.
Habit of Slamming on Brakes One
Serious Cause.

When you find your skid chains
wearing through do you assume that
tho links have got to break every SO
often, or do you speculate as to
whether the breaking of the cross
chains has something to do with the
way you treat the chains?
A little investigation would show
you that the habit of slamming on
the brakes is the most serious cause
of chain trouble, and that the habit
OF letting the chains ride loose comes
next
The first cause of chain wear is OBJ
vlous, but the second needs a word
of explanation. When the cross
chains are loose they slap the hard
paving in addition to being wedged
between the tire and the pavement
as the wheel passes the roadway con-
tact point.

WHY FAN BELTS FAIL,

Most car owners appreciate the fact
that tight fan belt is under a con-
slant and destructive strain, but they
often forget that slipping belt is
constantly subjected to excessive
wear through friction caused by the
rubbing of the slipping pulleys. The
right >adjustment for long belt life
lies some where between the two ex-
tremes. The belt must be examined
occasionally In order to maintain
this economical adjustment.

GREASE BEST FOR GASKETs.

Do not shellac the cylinder head
gasket when replacing the head after
grinding in the valves. Use hard oil
or grease. Shellac burns. So does
the grease, but the latter leaves "a

exceptionally well. Use white lead

NOT ALWAYS A WARNING.

Not all of the things you hear when
driving the car are tips or warnings
of serious trouble ahead. A lot of
these queer things" are to be for
gotten. A valve or its tappet will
often start clicking, only to operate
perfectly later. Sometimes the engine
is running a little too hot or too cold
for best results. A brake band may
have a little dirt in it and may be
scraping. Certain accessories may be
vibrating, only to cease their clatter
at a slightly different car speed.

grounds, and when approaching per-
sons on bicycles, roller skates, kiddie
cars, etc.
Drivers should caution their own
and other peoples children about the
dangers of the street. Positive in
formation as to how to conduct them
selves on the street will be more
effective with children than mere
'donts,
IF you expect other persons to
avoid injuring your children you
should take care not to injure the
children OF others"

ONE CAUSE OF MOTOR PEP

The so-called pep in lots of motors
Is nothing but too-limber acceler-
ator. When an Hccelerator is too
sensitive, as is the case when no pro-
vision is made for steadying the foot,
It's a very simple matter to make the
engine jump. You could do the same
with any motor by suddenly pulling
the hand control all the way down.

CARE AT CROSSINGS
URGED FOR SAFETY.
Best Means of Averting Fa-
taIities Suggested to Mo-
toriStS and Pedestrians.

Greater care at cross-walks on the
part of motorists and pedestrians is
urged by the National Safety Coun-
ell as a means of reducing the num-
Der of traffic fatalities. Surveys com
pleted by that organization in several
large cities indicate that motor We
hicle fatalities are largely confined
to main travelled streets radiating
from central business districts, and
are most prevalent in the congested
resident districts.
There must be a new relationship
between the motor vehicle operator
and the pedestrian" states a report
just issued by the. council. 1.-The lat
ter must cross the streets and the
former must move along the streets
with some uniformity If they are to
make any headway. Each has a re-
sponsibility to the other.

LEARN TO USE CHOKER.

With the idea of allowing the
engine to get it's bearings" many
drivers use the starter a few seconds
before pulling out the choker. This
merely uses current and wastes time.
rhe'engine wouldn't start, when cold,
without using the choker if you
cranked it all day. The air should
be choked off with the very first turn
Of the shaft so that gas-vapor spray
is drawn into the cylinders at once.

Duty Is Outlined.

''1f the pedestrian attempts to cross
at the street intersection, the motor
ist should let him cross without un-
reasonable delay. If the motorist ex-
ercises proper precautions at inter
sections. the pedestrian should re-
spect them by crossing at intersec-
tions only and subject to reasonable
regulations.
This solution involves two things,

Every witness against the defendants has been ac- tuatcd by personal motives"
 He declared that various tonicS, facial packs and reducing prepara- lions, whose manufacturing heads were alleged to have been compelled 10 contribute to Broadway brivitics to escape attack upon their products, were the most colossal fakes in the world" The attorney held up the accused as a public bcnn'actcr who has exposed people who preycd upon a guillible public"
