Of all the causes of automobile
accidents, the most disastrous is the
practice of contesting for the right
of way. This is established after
thorough study by the National
Conference on Street and Highway
Safety. )
This concludes not only the in
evitable contest between automobiles
and locomotives, but that between
automobiles only.
The fault lies in the firm belief
of each driver that he's right.
Neither contestant" may be reck-
less, but at least one is careless and
inconsiderate.
If the latter crosses q corner
without at least slowing down and
looking both ways, the ensuing &C
cident may be his fault. But the
feeling of having been right, on the
part of the victim Of this accident,
doesn't soothe his nerves or relieve
his injuries.
General rules have been at
tempted to settle questions OF right
and wrong at crossings of equally
important streets, but even these
rules of courtesy can't allay the in
juries of the man who tries to re-
spect them,
In this case, there Is only one
rule, and that applies to each driver
without depending on the thought
fitness of others. That Is the, rule
of caution and watchfulness.
Let the other fellow 'take the
chance.
I. ]. Reuter-, automobile manu-
facturer of Lansing, Mich, proposes
formation of a national traffic COM
mission, with one representative
from each State. It's purpose would
be to draft national code cover
ing traffic rules, signs, signals and
driving practices.
Pennsylvania has adopted law,
to 90 into effect Jan. l, 1928, by
which the secretary of highways
will have power to order decrepit
and worn-ou; passenger autos and
trucks off the road. He may do so
by refusing to register such We
hicleS.
r. H. Grant, vice-president Of the
Chevrolet Motor Company, In
charge of sales, announces appoint
ment of H. j. Klingler as general
sales manager. Klingler was for
merly assistant general sales man
ager.
In his new position Klfngler as
sumes much greater responsibility
in the direction of Chevrolet sales.
The new arrangement will permit
Grant to devote more time to per-
sonal contracts with the Chevrolet
retail organizations throughout the
country and to comprehend more
thoroughly field conditions and
dealer problems.
Klingler has been. associated with
Grant in sales work for many
years. He joined the Chevrolet or
ganization in June, 1924, as sales
manager of the st. Louis zone. One
year later he was called to Detroit
as an assistant sales manager, the
capacity in which he has served for
the last two years.

new AUTO MAP
OF INDIANAPOLIS
HooSier Motor Club Issues
Chart.

A new map of Indianapolis and
vicinity has been published by the
Hoosier Motor Club. The map shows
the main routes out Of the city,
giving the numbers of United States
roads, State roads and names Of
roads not numbered.
All small towns in Marion County,
all country clubs, tennis clubs, parks,
hospitals, schools and other points
of interest are shown. On the reverse
side of the map is smaller map Of
the central part of the city which is
keyed for finding hotels, theaters,
public buildings, clubs and garages.
Our touring department has long
felt the need of just such map as
we have published" says Todd
Stops, club secretary manager.
THE map is useful to the resident
of Indianapolis for very few Of us
know enough about our own county
to go every place without asking
questions"

Motor Car Corporation, every car In
the race was a straight eight.
Young points to the performance
of the winning car, driven by Sou
ders, as indicative of the superior
ity of the eight-cylinder principle,
translated into standard passenger
car design. He stressed the fact
that eight-cylinder cars have won
every race of major importance
throughout America for four years.
"The eight-cylinder principle is
conclusively established as su-
preme," he said. Leading drivers
will use no other type of car"
The Cadillac Motor Car Company
produces more than one-half of the
motor cars in its price class and
above. This, coupled with the year
ly increase in Cadillac sales, is
taken by Lawrence P. Fisher, presi-
dent of the company; to indicate a
total increase in the demand for
high grade motor cars.

0IdsmobiIe Tries New Meth
cd to Develop Trained
Men for Service.

A new phase in automotive mer-
chandising has been started by Olds-
mobile officials. They are laying the
foundation for a group of trained
men who will have practical and
theoretical training in the more i'm
portant phases of the industry pro-
duction, service, wholesale and re-
tail selling.
At the conclusion Of the college
year last spring, nearly a score of
university graduates we're given ap-
prentice positions with the Oldsmo-
bile organization. During the past
year they have received practical
training and instruction in e;ngi-
neering and production methods at
the Oldsmobile factories. e
Eight Selected
Eight Of these graduate appren-
tees have been selected for further
sales training, and at the completion
of their years training in the fac
tory they are being given intensive
instructions and practical experience
in the selling Of automobiles. This
will be followed by a period of six
months actual retail selling ex-
perience in Oldsmobile branches,
and an equal period as factory rep
resentativeS in the wholesale field.
1t is expected that the course will
be completed next spring.
The factory instruction course
now being given covers sales and
service methods, from the receipt OF
cars in the field to the actual sales
the consumer. Sales policies are
operation of the General Motors ac-
ceptance Corporation and the Olds-
mobile Six Per cent Certificate plan
are thoroughly studied.

new. DODGE SIX
DISPLAYED BY
LOCAL DEALER
Larger Car Has Many
Points Stressed by
Manufacturers.

The first model Of Dodge Broth
ers line of six-cylinder automobiles
was introduced Saturday in Indian
apolis by F. L. Sanford, Dodge
Brothers dealers. The car put on
display was aSfour-door sedan.
Within few weeks two additional
body types, four passenger coupe
and a new type of cabriolet road
ster, will be added to the new line
of SKIES.
Elaborate preparations for advent
of the six-cylinder cars had been
made by Dodge Brothers. Last fall
construction work was begun on one
Of the largest factory buildings in
the world and throughout the win
ter and spring was hurried to COM
pletion.
Production was started in May,
at rate Of fifty cars day. BY
July /, with the two additional body
types, it will run fully 300 cars a
day, the factory says.
Senior Line
The new line of skies has been
named Dodge Brothers senior line,
to distinguish 1t from Dodge Broth
ers line of four-cylinder cars.
while the senior line embodies
nothing freakish, either in construc-
ton or performance, it is presented
by Dodge Brothers as the last word
in comfort and performance for
cars in or near this price class.
Beauty Of design, exceptional per-
Torrance, style and comfort of in
terror appointments and ease and
economy Of operation are major at
tributes" said Stanford.
"a motor feature is the heavy
crankshaft aud larger bearing area.
The crankshaft is machined all over
and weighs sixty-nine pounds,
heavier than is used in any other
engine of similar capacity.
L-Head Motor
1.-THE motor is of the L-head type,
chosen because of simplicity of valve
mechanism and relatively infre-
quent need of adjustment.
"The carburetion system used is
the latest type, designed to secure
the maximum efficiency in combus-
ton and power.
"a single plate type Of clutch is
used.
1.-THE transmission is the selective
sliding gear type and the shift is
the standard system with three for
ward and one reverse speeds.
Cali cars in the senior line are
equipped with the most advanced
design of Lockheed four wheel in

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
HOME OIL COSTS MORE
Mexican Area Has to Pay Refining
Charges

MEXICO CITY, June 8.-Motor-
lists in this vicinity, situated in the
midst of a rich oil area, have to
pay nearly twice as much for their
fuel as do motorists far from oil
fields in the United States.
Here, for instance, the cost of fuel
has gone as high as SO cents a
gallon.
The reason is the crude oil has to
be shipped to the United States for
refining and then back to Mexico
for sale. This incurs heavy freight
charges both ways.

~ ONE idea Of the cratic sort Of
fashion by which form-base
ball formulas tried - cut the
~ skirts of it's coat this sea son in
the American League, can be
gained by inspecting the results of
four series that have now been finish
ed in the junior major circuit.
Philadelphia concluded its series
against Detroit on Monday, ginning
it's thirteenth game and thus giving
the Tigers victories for the season.
The Boston Red SoX have won IS
games from Cleveland and lost Z.
Washington has won IL from Chicago
and lost 10. The New York Yankees
have won II from st. Louis and lost
only l to the Blowns.
Red Sox Trim Tribe.
Boston has teen safely anchored in
last place all season and hasn't been
within gunshot Of defeating any
other team in the league on the sea-
sons series, and yet it has made the
Cleveland club look ridiculously i'm.
potent. The Yanks walked all over
the st. Louis club and pancaked
them.
The fight between Washington and
Chicago was interesting, because
Washington was one of the teams
that the White Sox could lick, and
the latter came within an ace of
tying up the series. Philadelphia has
had it's best success so far against
Detroit, and yet the Tigers have been
giving the Athletics an argument
over second place.
Against Cleveland. Harriss of Bos-
ton won 4 games, Wiltse /. Rufiing
|, Russell 2. Weller l, Lundgren 4
and McFayden 9. Wiltse lost 3, Ruff
fling 3 and Lundgren |, which was
the last game between the two clubs.
For Cleveland, Uhle lost 2, Kari /,
Hudlin ], Buckeye 5. Miller /. Grant
3. Brown l and Underhill /. The So
called pitching stars of the Cleveland
club fell fiat against the Red SoX.
For New York against st. Louis,
Hoyt won five games, Ruether two,
Pennock four, Shocker five, Moore
three, Thomas one and Pipgras one.
Pennock lost the only game that the
Yanks surrendered.
OF the St. Louis pitchers, Sam Jones
lost five to his old New York club,
Ballou one, CASTOR three, Zachary
one, Stewart two, Vangilder three,
Nevers two, Wingard three and Grow.

Players From Barons Giants Garry Flag Fight to Card Camp
AMERICAN LEAGUE RACE
HAS SOME ODD PHASES

Crowder one, Marberry two. Lisenbee
two. Hadley three. Johnson two and
Zachary one. Thurston lost three,
Marberry two. Braxton one, Lisenbee
two, Hadley one and Zachary one. AL
Thomas won two and lost two for Chi
cago, Blankenship won two and lost
three, Barnabe lost two. Ted Lyons
won four anS lost two, Connally won
two and lost one, Faber lost one and
Jacobs lost one.
Lyons Tough for Griffs.
Lyons has done better against
Washington than against any other
team in the league except Philadel-
phia, and the White Sox still have
three games to play with the Ath-
letics. What a pity it is that this
young man has frittered away so
much valuable pitching energy with
team that is not strong enough to win
a pennant. Without doubt Lyons is
one Of the best pitchers in base ball.
If he We're with team that could
win for him, as the Yankees win for
their pitchers, Lyons would probably
lead the American League pitchers in
1927, and he could win 80 games if
there is man in all base ball able
to do that sort of thing in these days.
In the completed series another
item of interest is the record of fine
work by Wiley Moore Of the Yankees.
The old farmer has beaten ST. Louis
in three games. Thus a memorable
wager is won. A man speaking scot.
fingly Of the probable skill Of Moore,
said In st. Petersburg, Fla, in the
Spring that Moore would be lucky TO
win three games for the Yankees. He
ventured his money on this predic-
ton. SO Moore has won for the other
fellow with ST. Louis alone, but as he
has also won 13 other games the bet
seems to have been cinched.
