District AutOists
Insure to Protect
Accident Victims

District motorists are less in
clined to dodge their responsible
ties than those of any other section
of the country.
According to figures of the Great
National Insurance Co.. whose
home Offices are in Washington,
judgments in the case of automo-
bile deaths were satisfied in all but
IA per cent of the cases where the
courts awarded damages.
This figure is in sharp contrast
with those from other sections of
the country, where. in some cases.
fully so per cent Of the fatal auto
mobile accidents are reported to
he caused by drivers who are
financially irresponsible.
Relatively few of the drivers
who have figured in fatal mishaps
here have been without insura nee,

Racing Cars With
3 Wheels Tested
on German Tracks

A three-wheel racing car on an
American speedway usually is a
prelude to a dive against the hub
rail, attended by somewhat dire
results for the driver. In Germa ny,
however, 1t is different
Racing automobiles built tri-
cycle fashion are being given a

and elsewhere in Europe and are

there is light facing northward at
the Columbia road intersection for his
guidance.
East-and-west traffic. as shown in
diagram No. 2, gives rise to con.
fusion and. If the motorist has not
taken some trouble to learn the sys-
tenn he is going to find himself in hot
water and perhaps with his car ready
for the junk pile. The right and left
turns, likewise, are perpleXing at first.
One must remember, first. that the
general rule is that the right turn may
be made only on the green light. but
not, of course. into a street where
traffic is one-way outbound. The two
one-Way streets road west
bound, and Harvard street eastbound-
must be watched carefully to avoid
a wrong right-hand turn.
Traffic moving northward from Co
lumbia road is routed into Sixteenth
street, where it may continue due
north or make the left turn into
Mount Pleasant street. The routing
is by way Of a detour. as shown in
diagram No. 2. Sixteenth street thus
is reached by turning right on a
green light At Columbia road and
Harvard street, then left onto Six
teenth street on another green light.
This is designed to avoid congestion at
Sixteenth and Harvard streets and, it
is believed. permits the turn to be
made with less delay. SouthbOund traf-
fic is halted while the left turn is made
with less delay. Southbound traffic
is halted while the left turn is made
and the cars coming into Sixteenth
street can work their way into the
northbound procession without inter
ference.
Lines Protect Turns.
Westbound traffic on Columbia roa q.
which is to turn south on Sixteenth
street, must keep to the left of the
white line and turn left when the

center Of the intersection.

WORN FRONT BEARINGS
OFTEN PRODUCE GROWL S
Puzzle to Motorists While Car Is
in Low Gear Explained by
Writer.

Worn or loose front bearings in a
transmission will make a growl or
snarl when the car is in low gear
second or reverse. or while the engine
is dlng with the clutch engaged. yet
there will be no noise in high gear.
This often puzzles motorists.
The reason is simple enough. There
is no actual connection. or coupling
between the main driving gear Of the
tthe end of the clutch
shaft and the main shaft OF the trans
except when the gears are in
high. When in this combination. and
tightly coupled the two shafts, operat-

RULE FOR PISTON PINS.
Should Be Tight Enough to Hold
Connecting Rods Weight.

A piston pin after. being fitted
should be tight enough that it will
just support the weight of the con
Meeting rod when the assembly is
held at arms length with the rod
horizontal to the ground. Some pins
must be driven into the pistons under
soft hammer pressure: others should
be pressed in with the hand. 1t Is
