TIRE LIFE ANALYZED
BY EXPERTS OF u. S.
Cords Last Longer Than Fabrics
in Bureau of Standards Expert
ments, Says Report.

Factors which influence the life of
automobile tires have been definitely
determined by experts of the United
States Bureau of Standards. These
factors. the subject of a paper just
issued. are defined as follows:
A carcass in which the friction rub
Der is slightly compounded appears to
stand up better under test than one
in which pure gum" is used.
Within the customary limits of air
pressure used in tires, the higher the
pressure the better the tire will
stand up.
Fabric tires develop a much higher
temperature than cord tires, and
their life is much less than cord tires.
Separation, which was the principal
cause of failure in these tests. did not
always take place in the same lOca-
ton in the tire. 1t occurred in most
cases between the tread and breaker,
breaker and cushion, cushion and car
casS. or between the outer two plies.
Some makes of tires blow out"
much sooner after separation has
started than others.
Compound inner tubes for truck
tires appear to withstand the action
of heat better than those of pure gum
type.
1t is interesting to note that of the
tires tested. in general not more than
one-half the samples passed the test
requirement although a general i'm
provement was noted during the pc
riod covered by the tests in the case
of some tires.
A total of % per cent of automobiles
delivered in 1925 were driven to desti
nation under their own power

FINES ARE PROPOSED
TO FINANCE COURTS
Convicted Motorists Should Paw for
Handling Traffic Cases, Says
Connecticut Official.

Special traffic courts with a prose
cutor and judge who are experts in
traffic matters and created by funds
derived from fines collected from mo.
florists are advocated by Robbins r.
Stoeckel. commissioner of motor We
hicleS of Connecticut. as Il means of
lowering the accident rate and main
tanning stricter driving discipline.
Such courts, Mr.. Stocked maintains,
would cooperate with police depart
ments for better results than are at
present apparent.
Declaring that such a step Is the
only way out of the growing traffic
and accident difficulties, Mr.. Stoeckel
says:
THE police cannot afford to spend
much time in court. But 1t is a fair
conclusion that each court will de
mand less evidence as the problem of
traffic gets more acute. The chance
that the operator will he arrested and
prosecuted is therefore greater than
ever before.
Perhaps two-thirds of the poten-
TALLY reckless drivers are amenable
to moral suasion. But the rest are
in the criminal motor vehicle class,
against which only arrest and prose
cution avail.
LAS a principle. traffic discipline
ought to be directed alike against all
erring participants. including the
pedestrian. bicycle rider and team
driver But the motor vehicle is an
engine capable of such great destruc-
ton that ii is fair to insist that It's
operator be the most careful of all.
This means that he must look out
for everybody else to much greater
degree than they may be expected to
look out for him.
"One qualification which will now
be demanded more particularly of
him is concentration. He must at
tend to business"

To Be Avoided by Autoist Who Wants an Easy,
Safe Drive to Virginia Valley.

with skid chains and the man at the
wheel is a skilled and careful driver
Even so equipped there are more
chances of going off than staying on
the road. SO slippery does 1t become
after a rain. This road would be a
hard one to drive over if it were en-
tirely on the level, but, since it goes
through the mountains, it is one to
be avoided.
Were it not for this bad stretch the
run from Washington to Winchester
would be but IS miles, as compared to
SO miles by way of Frederick and Har-
pers Ferry. But with conditions as
they are now motorists are urgently
advised to make the extra Is miles
rather than try the hazardous five
mile drive over the Blue Ridge Noun
tains.
The route by way of Frederick has
been shortened IL miles by the open
ing of the road through Hyattstown.
1t may be reached by going out Wis
consin avenue or over Connecticut
avenue to Bradley lane to Rockville
pike. There are some sections of the
road near Gaithersburg on which con-
crete shoulders are being placed, re-
curing slow travel for short dis.
tances, but otherwise fast time can be
made.
Turn Made at Frederick.
On reaching Frederick a sharp left
turn is made in the heart of the town,
continuing the distance of four city
blocks to Telegraph street. where the
road branches to the left. Then con-
tinue on the main road through JEFF
ferson and Harpers Ferry to Win
chester. On entering the center of the
town make a left turn on Braddock
street to the road, which continues
into the Shenandoah Valley pike to
Staunton. The road is all boulevard
highway and we'll maintained.
The shorter routes lie by way Of
Fairfax and are reached by going over
the Key Bridge. then turning sharp
right one block beyond, continuing
through Falls Church to Fairfax. The
Warrenton-Luray road is excellent as
far as Centerville. and to that point
the motorist might wonder why the
road had been criticized. but arriving
there he will be given his introduction
to the bad stretches by a lengthy
detour.
In the case of the Shenandoah Val
ley routes, the longest way is the best.
and one will be well paid for follow
ing 1t.

EASY PARKING SEEN
AT NO DISTANT DATE
Engineer Believes Small Cars Solu
ton of Problem-Predicts
Low Operating Costs.

Motorists who put most of the
mileage on their cars driving around
looking for a place to park may find
a small grain of comfort in the fore
casts of A. Ludlow Clayden, a Phila-
delphia engineer which indicate that
within 20 years the parking problem
will have been entirely solved.
Within the next two decades. Mr..
Clayden told the convention of the
American Petroleum Institute, Amer
lean families Will ride in closed auto
mobiles smaller than the smallest ma
chimes of today and capable of run
ming all day on less than a dollar
worth of fuel. In five years Mr.. Clay.
den sees automobiles achieving gaso.
line mileages of from 40 to so to the
gallon.
The high-compression engine will
bring this change. Mr.. Clayton says.
This engine can be produced at a
lower cost than the present one, Mr.
Clayden holds. The saving in one
year to the motor owners of the coun-
try will amount to approximately
500 100000 gallons of gasoline.

The Old Mechanic Saws:

Tune up the car for the kind of
drivin YOU are Coin to indulge in.
It's best. of course. to keep ii tuned
up for any kind of drivin'. but often
when an owner is pressed for time,
it's out Of the question To 80 over
the whole car. That's where ii pays
20 plan for the type Of drivin ahead.
For a fast run, it's important to
check over the safety features.
Nothin' is more important than safety
when travelin fast. Check over the
tires and see that they are up to the
right pressure. Unscrew the hub caps
and see that the cotter pins are
holdin' tho wheel bolts Tighten up
the Tugs on the wheels. Grease the
whole steerin' assembly and see that
each bolt Is secured by a cotter pin.
Finally. test the brakes and make
sure that they are workin properly.
If time IS very limited this inspeC-
zion AT least will cover good part
OF the safety feature. but for hard,
fast ride. without risk of engine trou-
bio. the engine should be tuned up

1t is getting to he d question of
servicing the car owner as well as
the car.
Change Made i'm Owner.
In many cases it involves more
servcing of the owner than of the
car, for human habits and mental linn
itations are playing Il conspicuous
role in reducing cars to junk. One
experienced repairman contends that
he fixes more minds in the course OF
year than motors.
The chief difficulty appears to lie in
the matter of adjustment. One man
will complain that his brakes do not
work we'll enough, and if the repairer
is not equally familiar with his man
as with the car he may he unable to
make satisfactory adjustment. This
particular driver may be the kind to
treat his brakes more gently than the
average. which means that an Ord1-
nary brake adjustment, no matter how
effective for the average, will not do
for him.
Drivers who slam on their brakes
should not have even normal brake
adjustment, because the COlnDlnaIlOn
makes for dangerous stopping and en-
tirely too much wear and tear on the
car in general Yet in many shops
the mechanics are not at all familiar
with the persons who will drive the
cars being repaired. The result is
that the rough user of brakes gets an
adjustment that is too responsive.
while the more gentle soul fails to
receive the sort of adjustment he
needs.
Clutches Need Care.
Somewhat the same holds true for
clutches. Some drivers are extremely
cautious about letting in the clutch
and frequently overdo it. These per-
sons should have clutches that en-
gage a little more abruptly than the
average. If their clutches work too
smoothly. it is foregone conclusion
that the combination will be bad.
Clutch plates will be burning out
On the other hand. drivers who
habitually engage the clutch without
regard for themselves or their cars
should be given the smoOthest posi-
BILE working clutch. 1t is the me-
chanic's way of compromising for a
drivers natural failingS as a motor
vehicle operator.
But how is the mocha mic to Judge
his man if he never has seen him be-
fore, or If the motoriSt does not trade
with him long enough to establish

Motorists going from Washington
low the longer route. through Fred
erick and Harpers Ferry if they de
sire a safe and comfortable journey
all the way.
This is the conclusion reached by
The Stars motor tours department
after a survey made recently to de-
termine the conditions existing this
Summer. After covering the two So
called short routes, the one by way
of Aide and aMiddleburg. and the
other, through Warrenton and Luray.
1t was plain that automobilistS should
be strongly advised against taking
either.
Not only are the two shorter
routes uncomfortable in all kinds of
weather. but they are positively dan.
gerous in spots when the roads are
wet.
Direct Route Worst.
The road through Warrenton and
Luray is by far the worst and should
not be attempted by any one who
does not want to take plenty Of
chances and his full share Of bumps.
1t Is alternately macadam and dirt or
gravel and it's dirt portions are eX-
Cessively hazardous in wet weather.
There is a 16mile detour over the
mountains from Luray to New Mar
ket that provides especially hard go
ing and in rainy weather might read
lily result in a serious accident.
While the road through Aldie and
Middleburg to Winchester is nearly
all concrete and bituninous, there is
a stretch of about five miles, half on
either side of Paris. which is under
construction. The road at. this point
has been torn up and in the best of
weather the trip would be filed with
more joltS than the average motorist
wishes to suffer. This portion con.
sists of red clay and. to make matters
worse, the part under construction
passes over the Blue Ridge Noun
tains, combining the hazards Of noun
tain roads with an exceptionally slip
perry surface.
When The Stars touring investi-
gator passed over this stretch of the
road recently it had rained earlier in
the day and he narrowly escaped
skidding several times into the bitches
on either side Of the roadway. 1t is
extremely foolhardy to attempt to
cover this portion of the road in rainy
weather unless ones car is provided

Driver Best Regulator Yet Found
For Keeping Battery Rightly Charged

Mistaking the generator cutout. or
relay for a device to prevent over
charging of the storage battery is
common among inexperienced car
owners. 1t is the third brush" a
current wasting device incorporated
In the generator, which protects the
battery against overcharging under
normal operating conditions. The
relay" simply cuts out the generator
when its output is not equal to that
Of the battery.
But in case the third brush fails to
keep the battery from being over
charged. and one does not want to go
to the trouble of having the position
of this brush changed. to meet tenn
porary conditions. the driver becomes
the best charging regulator as vet
developed. He can use the starter
motor quite frequently to pull down
