CAR THEFTSLA|D
TO YOUNG SWANS
Boys Plead They Need Autos
to Compete With More
Fortunate.

"Cherchez la femme" is getting to
be the cry of police in certain cities
when a distressed motorist calls up
headquarters to inform it that his
automobile has disappeared.
While the femme that is being
chercheZed is not regarded as actu-
ally the thief in such cases. she is
held by detectives to be responsible
for the increasing number of auto
mobile thefts. Her suitor is the in
dividual who takes the machine in
most cases. but he does so because he
realizes that the autoless swain has
no chance against the one who arms
himself with even a collegiate flivver
before knocking at the lady's door.
AS a result, joy riding is on the
increase and police are spending
more and more time in locating
abandoned machines.
In Baltimore. the problem is par
ticularly acute.
The arrest several days ago Of two
youths for unauthorized use of an
automobile disclosed in Traffic Court
that the machine had been borrowed
to take two young women on a joy
ride. The youths defense was that
they had no chance against their
rivals, who owned automobiles.
The owners Of the machine re-
fused to prosecute. The magistrate
doled out a fine instead of the usual
Jail sentence.

MICHIGAN TO TEACH
SAFETY TO STUDENTS
Rural Schools as Well as Urban to
Be Reached in Extensive
Campaign.

Course in public safety will be given
to every student in Michigan schools
this Fall. The Detroit police depart
ment and State police and the De-
troit Automobile Club are co-operat-
ing in this movement to reach every
student and every parent with safety
messages.
According to the educational pro-
gram outlined by Public Safety Com
missioner Allen Straight. a uniformed
State trooper will visit every school
in the rural districts. The officer
will be accompanied by motor club
workers and a safety program Will
be presented to the children.
Following such talks, the students
are to be enrolled in the junior state
police. Each student joining the or
ganization will be given safety
pledge card to take home to be signed
by his parents. When a schoolroom
has been organized 100. per cent, the
room may appoint officers who will
have charge of the students for daily
periods before and after school hours
During these sessions, safety measures
will be- taught and discussed.
Work paralleling that done by the
troopers in the rural sections will be
done in Detroit by the city police
safety department and automobile
| club officials.

that the size, style. grade and make

BY F. j. CARMODY.

Where does the credit belong when
g. car speeds to victory in an auto
mobile race, to the car or the driver?
In the light of recent events 1t
would appear that it is the driver
who deserves the credit. A car may
have all the speed in the world. but
unless it is steered by master hand
and directed by a master mind the
chances of victory are remote.
The question rs it the car or the
or the man." was asked in this de-
partment of The Sunday Star two
weeks ago when it was announced
that the yellow Streak" that Pete
de Paolo drove to the national cham
pionship last year was to race again
at Laurel. piloted this time by young
Fred Winnai. one of the bright stars
of the National Motor Racing AssO
citation.
The famous machine had all it's old
speed when it returned to the Laurel
track. This was proved before the
last races when Winnai, in practice.
circled the oval at an average speed
of 135 miles an hour.
What it did in the race is history.
Instead of roaring it's way to victory
as had been predicted by those who
believed that it was the car and not
the driver, it finished third in the
first race and crashed into the outer
rail of the track while travelling 122
miles an hour in the second event.
The evidence, then, is fairly con-
elusive in favor Of the driver.
There is more conclusive evidence
than that presented by the record of
the car. however. 1t wasn't appreci-
ated by the audience at the races and
by great many Of the racing experts
who witnessed the program. Acct
dents that happen at the rate of 122
miles an hour are designed to create
somewhat of a fog as to detail and
1t is safe to say that not more than
a dozen realized what happened before
young Winnai and the machine cata-
pulled into the rail

races in which he has participated

thoroughly than he had intended
Gleason realized probably as we'll
as any one could that in the matter
of pure speed Winnai's car had
something on his own machine. The
latter had done 135 miles an hour on
the track while Gleason was able to
get only 1923 in his speed trials
Gleason may lack the color, the
spectacular theatricality of Winnai.
He makes up for it in. experience.
Neither knows the meaning of fear.
The n. NJ. r. a. championship hung
in the balance. Gleason had a slight
margin in points, but not sufficient
to win the crown if Winnai won both
feature races. Winnai, fearless and
ambitious to beat out his heady, willy
elder, was out to capture all the
points available in those two races.
In the first race Gleason found the
proper place on the track at which

thing else. Winnai, trying to pass.

BROM|NE SUPPLY
OF WORLD FIGURED
Recovery of Product From
Sea Water Discussed by
U. S. Expert.

Extent to which ordinary gasoline
will be ethylized is virtually impos-
sible to foretell, in the opinion of Carl
r. De Long, chief of the chemical divi-
sion of the United States Tariff Com
mission. This point is brought out
in a report by Mr. De Long in survey
of the worlds bromine resources. The
report has been submitted to the
American Chemical Society.
THE consumption Of gasoline last
year in the United States was about
11.2 billion gallons" Mr.. De Long says.
"If this entire consumption were
treated with ethylene bromide and
tetraethyl lead, 80 million pounds of
bromine would be required.
"It may be unreasonable to assume
that all of the gasoline used in this
country will be so treated.
However. if only 10 per cent of the
gasoline now consumed should be con-
verted into loaded gasoline. there
would be required about 100000
pounds of bromine, quantity nearly
three times over maximum produc-
ton two years ago.
Health Ruling Cited.
much speculation as to the future
consumption of and prices for bromine
has followed the decision of the United
States Public Health Service that
there is no reason to prevent the use
Of loaded gasoline under proper regu-
lations.
The problem presents so many pos
sibilities that no one can predict with
certainty the effect Of this decision
upon the future trend of the bromine
market in the United States.
eff loaded gasoline is, marketed on
a large scale there will be a CORE
spending demand for bromine to make
ethylene bromide, required along with
tetraethyl lead"
Discussing the potential bromine re-
sources of the United States, Mr.. De
Long says that the recovery of bro
mine from sea water would seem to
bility of large increased domestic sup
plies.
More Flexible Supply.
1.-THE successful extraction of bro
mine from sea water" he adds, "offers
an insurance against unreasonable
prices for bromine and introduces a
factor that will permit of a more t1eX
ible supply as the demand for ethyl
gasoline Develops
Aside from this method according
to Mr.. De Long, the potential domestic
resources which offer most promise
of increased supplies of bromine at
the lowest cost are the brines of the
Saginaw Valley, Mich.
Other possible sources are the bit
terms from the salt works located in
the Ohio Valley. or Pomeroy district.
and the Kanawha Valley district of
West Virginia.
1t is also possible. Mr.. De Long
points out. that bromine may be re-
covered from the byproduct bitterns
of salt production by color evapora-
tion Of sea water in San Diego Bay,
Calf. Little attention. he says. has
been paid to the bromine content
of the saline waters of the United
States. A thorough survey. he de-
clares. may reveal large resources of
this important chemical

Let Challenger Pass.
Then came the second race and
Winnai's last chance. 1t was almost
case of do or die. The first lap
found him trailing Gleason and the
second found them neck and neck. On
the third Winnai decided. apparently,
to see just how much faster his ma
chine was than the Miller piloted by
Gleason. He stamped on it, as the
drivers say.
The yellow Streak" began to draw
away from its rival Gleason seemed
to let the challenge pass unnoticed
Gleason, however, knew Winnal
better than Winnai knows himself.
The willy champion has driven too
many races against the youngster not
to know that along with his fearless
ness and his hard driving Winnai
has a curiosity that knows no bounds.
He knew the greatest weakness in
Winnai's armor to be an impulse to
look back-something that cannot be
done when one is driving more than
120 miles an hour.
If Winnai was to look, 1t was
Jimmy's intention to keep him from
seeing anything at casual glance.
He dropped so far back that seeing
