Everett Strong, Omaha middle

tunity Of his career to prove his
worth at Hollywood tonight when

Strong has made an impressive

of his five opponents. None of
Strong's victims WAS as prominent
as Malone, however.
The Omaha puncher IS not con-

ASK SAFETY VALUE
OF TRAFFIC LIGHTS
National Automobile Chamber of
Commerce to Conduct Survey
on Question.

Accurate evaluation Of the traffic
tower or similar signal light as a fac
tor in traffic safety is being undertake
en- by the National Automobile Cham
Der of Commerce in collaboration with
police departments of cities in which
this system of control is being used.
Letters have been mailed to traffic d.
rectors in cities throughout the coun-
try asking fun information on the ef-
feet the system is achieving.
We are certain that traffic lights
are proving worth while said George
NJ. Graham. chairman of the cham
ber's committee on traffic planning
and safety. The public should have
the facts on the matter.
"A citizen, whether walking or driv-
ing. often chafes at the seeming re-
straining of these lights regulating
the flow of traffic. Exact details on
results achieved will help to obtain
public cooperation
The text of the letter sent out by
the chamber follows:
ITO the Traffic Director:
Control Of motor vehicle move
ment by traffic towers or similar lights
needs public support to be fully ef-
fective.
While it is known that scientific
control of traffic is essential to safety.
it is important for the public to know
exactly what has been accomplished.
Installation and regulation of the
lights, too, should be based on known
facts regarding the flow Of traffic.
Can you advise US what your ex-
perience has been with regard to con-
troll of traffic by signal lights:
II. Have you any streets on which
motor vehicle operation is controlled
l. CT, 10y
80. Have you records showing the
number of accidents and the number
of vehicles on such streets before the
lights were installed?
%. Did you find that the adoption Of
these light (a) increased the flow Of
traffic, (b) reduced accidents?
-. Are you now keeping a record Of
the number of vehicles using your
streets at different hours of the day
and Of the location Of accidents SO
that any future lighting developments
will have a basis Of comparison"

TESTS PROVE VALUE
OF RED TAIL LIGHTS
Much Discussed Question Settled
Definitely by Bureau Of
Standards.

Seeing red is literally although,
perhaps, not always figuratively a
characteristic of the great majority
of persons, according to tests con-
Quoted by the Bureau of Standards.
There has been considerable dis
cussion from time to time as to what
color has the highest visibility value
for use as a tail light on automobiles
The use of red for this purpose was
questioned in many quarters until
an authoritative investigation was con-
Quoted by the bureau.
Several thousand observations were
made at distances varying from 600
10 900 and 1850 feet. Different OBJ
servers made the tests at these dis
tanccS. Conditions under which the
tests were made were varied, with the
result that the final conclusion
strengthened the position of red in
the scheme OF color signals.
Daylight surroundings were chosen
for the observations, because Of the
fact that at that time Identification of
colored lights is most difficult. On an
average it was found that a red light
of 70 candle power could be seen at
60 feet, while q green light had to be
200 candle power, a yellow light $50
candle power, and a blue light 1000
candle power to be visible at the same
distance. At 1850 feet these colored
lights had to be, respectively, 1900.
$500, 5000 and 1900 candle power.
in order to be visible.

In tryin' to clean various parts Of
their cars I notice that a lot O. car
owners merely put more dirt in places
where dirt should not be. This is
usually the case in cleanin' spark
plugs. The owner unscrews a plug
and then. before replacin' 1t. wipes off
the cylinder head with a rag. There's
always a certain amount Of dirt
around the spark plug opening. and
they simply push this into the cylin'
der.
Another common mistake is in re-
pairin' n tire or in putin in a new
inner tube. When the notorist does
this himself he is likely TO pick UP
dirt from the garage floor. I saw
Brown workin' out on the driveway
beside his house the other day. Only
a miracle would keep q pebble out of
the tire when he got in all together.
Another time I saw Brown removin'

rs there a limit to quantity pro
duction?" A constantly increasing in
terest in this question is being mani
tested as the American automobile
business becomes concentrated in the
hands of a comparatively few organ
izations that are heading toward ever
greater production.
1t is n question that interests the
motorist. as we'll as the manufacturer.
and now the economist is giving it his
deep thought. If there is anything
to stop the trend toward increased
concentration of automobile manufac-
turing resources and increased pro
duction per factory the question is:
What is it2
A number of answers are in store.
Several have been advanced already
One is considered by economists and
by hard-headed business men as plau-
sible. Competition, they agree, may
easily stem the tide toward excessive
production.

THE OLD MECHANIC SAYS:

way. He just let the wheel fall 10
the ground and didn't seem to care
whether the grease from the hub
picked up few pebbles or not.
Most owners are a little more care
full than Brown. but even then they
often so wrong. When it comes to
cleanin' a wheel bearin' I've seen
many Of them use kerosene instead
of gasoline. Kerosene cleans well
enough, but it doesn't dry quickly. 1t
Just stays around the bearin and
thins down the fresh grease the owner
uses.
Most car owners are gettin' wise TO
the fact that it doesn't pay to flush
out the engine with Kerosene. The
best way TO flush out the system is to
use quart or two of fresh oil.
There are a lot of ways to clean
various parts of any car, but I've
never been able to see any sense in
addin' a lot OF dirt and unnecessary
trouble en- route.

Cold Aids Tire Valves.

Here is a tip to progressive motor
lists in the way air pressure holds up
in tires during extremely cold weather.
Contraction of the valve and dust caps
makes them fit tighter and greatly
minimizes valve leakage. To keep up
the air pressure to better advantage
during warmer weather the trick
would seem to be to keep the caps
tight

Even those who said they consid-

These intangible factors are being

Competition Curbs Output.

Competition has reduced output on
q number Of occasions, for competition
hastens new modes which, in turn,
necessitate basic factory changes.
Production fell off amazingly in Au-
gust, 1924, when one manufacturer
made a few body and mechanical
changes in his product. There would
have been no need of such changes
had the more advanced products Of
other manufactures not complicated
the situation.
1t has been pointed out that if
the quantity production idea were
limitless it would be only question
of time before there would be but a
mere handful Of manufactures pro
ducing all automobiles. II would be
possible, theoretically. for all cars TO
bear one name plate. In practice,
however, such a monopoly never has
been appropriated. 1t has been dem
onstrated that even If manufacturer
is able to build on such a scale as to
undersell every one else in his line
there still is limited market for his
wares.
This is proved by the fact that no
one shoe manufacturer. piano maker
or monograph producer ever has been
able to carry the quantity idea to the
point Of capturing the entire market.
This, however, has induced many 10
speculate as TO whether the auto
mobile industry will be the exception
TO the rule. Motordom has upset so
many customs it might scrap even
this one.
At this point, observers OF the quar-
tity production theory are beginning
to consider the car owner, both in
America and abroad. So far, the
quantity production idea has been
l.
motorist is interested in humoring his
purse at the expense of his taste. But
observations are proving this to be
erroneous

S6O,OO0 COST OF
 BUILDING CONVENT
Contract Awarded for TWo,Story
 Brick Structure

The contract for the erection of the new convent to be erected by St. Josoph's parish to replace the former building that was gutted by fire last year, has been awarded to the Hayes Construction Co. of this city. Work on the building will be started immediately after prelimin- ary details have been completed The estimated cost of the building will be about $6O,00o.
 The plans for the structure which were drawn by W. F. O'Neil, con. tractor of Hartford, call for build- Ing which will stand two stories high with a basement. It will be built of brick and brownstone and will be of plain architectural sim. plicity.
 The convent will contain about 20 rooms, including q reception room, library, kitchen and refectory and chapel, besides several other apart ments. It will face on South Main strc~t at the corner of Edson street.
 It Is expected that the building will be finish~d and ready for occu. pancy about September 1 or by the time the 1928 fall school term be- gins. The building will become part of the group of buildings already owned by St. Joseph's parish.
