NO FREEZING.
NO Streaming
IN NEW SYSTEM
This Is the Promise of Engi-
neers Advocating Steam
Cooling Plan

Freezing in winter and overhead
ing in summer will no longer
threaten motorists, if advocates Of
steam cooling have their hopes full
filled.
Steam cooling, they say, is the
cure-all for these ills.
It's an anomalous term; steam
cooling is, and some engineers in
favor of the system say that this
name is about all that keeps it from
being adopted by the motoring pub
lie. So they've decided to call it
''evaporative cooling" or the cvapo-
ration system Of cooling.
Anyway, it's a method by which
the water in the cooling system
keeps the engine at an efficient
temperature summer or winter, yet
evaporates at the boiling point, is
cooled through the radiator and re-
turns into the system still warm
enough to keep the temperature of
the engine even at all times.
This, in a word, is the steamer,
ali, evaporative - cooling system
proposed for the automobile engines
of. the future. It's easy to see it's
advantages.
Many Benefits Claimed
These are listed as follows by
Herbert G. Harrison, one of it's
advocates:
/. The engine comes to con-
slant operating temperature in a
much shorter period than under
the old system, and this remains
constant despite weather conditions.
2. 1t eliminates crankcase dilu-
ton, due to the highwall tempera-
ture.
3. Anti-freeze solutions, even
alcohol, aren't lost in this system.
4. Even if frozen, due to alb
sence Of anti-freeze, the system will
thaw itself.
s.. There's greater fuel economy,

HEADLIGHTS
AREAPUZZLE
TO ENGINEERS
In Past Years, Good Lighting
and Glare Have Been
Inseparable
NIGHT DRIVING JOYLESS
Experts Hope to Remove
Glare and Leave Light
Enough For Safety
NIGHT DRIVING JOYLESs

Glaring headlights have been
causing motorists no end of bother
but they have been giving lighting
engineers and state highway Off
Gals even more trouble.
The problem itself is simple
Take the glare out of the head
lights.
But the hitch to that is the coun-
ter proposal: Keep the illumina
ton high enough for safety on
dark highways.
Both propositions clash. Attempts
have been made to reduce glare
from headlights, but almost invar-
iably the illumination Of the road
ahead suffered proportionately.
Now members of the Society of
Automotive Engineers and of the
Illuminating Engineering Society
are putting their heads together in
an effort to find some sort of COM
promise.
Can't Eliminate Glare
The immensely of such q task
may be CLEANED from some of the
difficulties in the way of headlight
engineers.
One outstanding objection to the
present type of non-glare head
lights is the fact that roads are not
all level. Another is the springy
action Of cars that causes even the
so-called non-glare lamps to strike
the eyes Of oncoming drivers.
But with rough, hilly and curving
roads. and with the necessity Of
springs on our cars, the non-glare
headligh hts of today glare despite
themselves. So some other means
OF headlighting is wanted.
Downward fitting lights have
been suggested and have even been
made part equipment on some cars.
But a fitting light is even more
objectionable than the straight non
glare light that is supposed to keep
it's beams below the horizontal.
fitting lights cause excessive H.
Elimination of the roadway directly
in front of the car, but offer in
sufficient illumination far enough
ahead to allow driving at a reason
able speed.
A recent meeting Of the Society
Of Automotive Engineers pointed
out some directions that lighting
experts may follow in their effort
to arrive at the best form Of head
lighting possible.
Many Ways Out
Practically every suggestion
made at this meeting, however, has
some objectionable feature. Per-
haps by study of all ideas, some
efficient compromise may be OBJ
tanned. The suggestions, and some
objections, are:

TO HAVE A BIG
GASOLINE BILL
America Is Expected to Sup.
ply Billion Gallons a
Month This Year

The domestic demand for gasoline
for 1926 is estimated as approx
mately 1O.547,4l6,OO0 gallons.
Roger B. Stafford of the Nation
al Petroleum News has estimated
the consumption Of gasoline in this
country at the first of the past
three years with almost perfect ac-
curacy. His 1925 estimate was
only three-tenths of l per cent too
low.
In addition to our consumption Of
1O,547 ,4l6,O0O gallons, Stafford es-
Inmates that export demands will
require 500, 100000 more, making
a total demand on American refin-
cries Of about 12,00O,OOO,OOO gal
Ions.
Demands Increase
The constant increase in the num-
Der of automobiles manufactured
makes greater demands on Amer
ica's gasoline supply.
The improvement Of automobiles,
making them more comfortable and
pleasurable also increases the use
of gasoline, as the automobile no
longer remains idle during inclem-
ent weather, but is used the year
round.
Weather conditions, prosperity
and other factors may alter the
estimate to some degree, but TAX
ing the country as a whole, it is
believed that decline Of the use of
gasoline in some districts will be
compensated for in others.
Crude Oil
Improved refining methods, in
creased cracking facilities and a
desire among refiners not to in
crease stocks Of gasoline make it
difficult to estimate the amount of
crude oil that will be consumed
during 1926.
However, Stafford estimates that
if the amount of crude oil charged
to stills in 1926 is in the same pro-
portion to 1925 charges, approx
mately 837,000,0OO barrels of crude
oil will be needed.

operation at the earliest possible
moment"
DR.. Harriss but expresses what is
in the minds of traffic experts
throughout the nation, that some
means of regulation for pedestrian
traffic must be found in the con-
gested areas of cities.
"Some six years ago." said DR..
Harriss, II made an effort to ascer-
tain the attitude Of the pedestrian
public in the congested areas of
Manhattan toward controlling their
movements in connection with We
hicular traffic. With that in mind
/ instituted what l called 'pedes
trian schools at the corners of
Fifth avenue and Forty-second
street, Fifth avenue and Thirty
fourth street, Canal and Lafayette
streets and several other localities.
II had in mind the psychological
reaction as well as. the practical re-
suit of educating the pedestrian
public in something that directly
benefited them and also supplied
the necessary means to permit of a
smoothly running vehicular traffic,
THAT experiment proved to be a
success and, although there were
sevepal isolated cases of irritable
ity, where the individual seemed to
think his personal right to be run
over if he pleased was being re-
stricted, the moving Of pedestrian
traffic by police met the general
approval of all concerned.
Each learned that the other had
rights, the pedestrian to cross the
street in safety and the motorist to
drive smoothly in continuous move-
ment. This experiment has been
studied, ! may safely say, by not
only the large cities Of the United
States but also by the large cities
Of the world"

PEDESTRIAN REGULATION FAVORED
BY OFFICIALS. HANDLING TRAFFIC

New York, Feb. 27.-The time
has come in the history of traffic
regulation in the United States
when the pedestrian who walks the
streets is going to have some laws
passed for his protection, traffic
officials believe.
Alarmed by the steady rise in
the number of fatalities from auto
mobile accidents throughout the ma
ton as whole, the regulatory
powers have begun to canvass the
situation and are deciding that
pedestrian traffic must be regulat-
ed, and regulated by law if neces-
sary. The pedestrian is to be saved
despite himself, If he will not be
saved otherwise.
The continuous growth of motor
vehicular traffic has reached a
point where, in the opinion of pub
lie authorities, the rights Of both
the mot0rist and the pedestrian
must be defined, so that each may
not infringe on the rights of the
other.
DR.. John A. Harriss, father Of the
traffic signal tower system and the
synchronized traffic light system
used throughout the world and in
charge Of the traffic regulations Of
New York City for the last eight
years, believes pedestrian rights
are SO imperiled that laws are now
necessary.
He says: 1.-THE enormous in
crease in traffic vehicles has made
it necessary to provide an equitable
division Of the rights Of motorists
and the rights Of the pedestrians to
the public thoroughfares. At pre-
sent an injustice is being done to
the pedestrian, and any legislation,
rules or ordinances that can be pro-
mulgated for the benefit Of the Pc
destrian should be put in force and
