PROTECTING THE MOTORISTS

Motorists must look to their own
State legislatures rather than to
Congress for relief from the oil
substitution frauds revealed by the
American Fair Trade Association.
Government experts endorse the
Associations statements concern
ing the huge losses due to improper
fabrication of the nations automo-
biles, but point out that the detect
ion and punishment of dishonest
service station men is problem for
the State to solve according to local
conditions.
Prosecutions of dealers for vic
timizing motorists by substituting
inferior oils, and in some instances,
crank-case DRAWINGS. for high grade
lubricants, have attracted wide
spread attention this summer. These
cases have served to show the ex-
tent of the practise and the needs of
legislation to curb it.
1t now seems probable that bills
for this purpose will be introduced
in every legislature meeting next
January in states not already pro-
vided-with adequate anti-Substitut-
ion laws. The Governor of Rhode
Island already has expressed his
purpose to devote attention to this
situation in his annual message.
While substitution frauds are
limited to small proportion of deal
ers, the enormous numbers of mo-
tor cars issue-one for every five
persons and the multiplication of
new service stations all over the
country make these frauds very
serious in the aggregate.
The average motorist is rapidly
being educated to use the kind of
oil hest suited to his needs and to
demand this oil by name and grade.
He has little protection, however,
= aoainst the dishonest dealer who
does not give him the oil he orders.
Tn To0n nany states under existing laws
it it has been found difficult Ito to con OF /
lot substitutors even with the
vtrO Strongest evidence against them

There is an increasing use for
coated textiles which are sometimes
known as Fabrikoid or leather
substitute. 1t has been calculated
that it would require an acreage in
grazing land equal to all the states
west of the Mississippi river to sup
port the herds necessary to furnish
hides equal to the worlds con-
sumption of leather substitutes.
Amateur movie rule number one
is: Always hold the camera abso-
lutely steady while taking a scene.
Then suggestions are: Keep the
camera in operation for not less
than eight or ten seconds on any
subject.
When making a scenic panorama
where there S no moving object to
be followed, the camera should be
moved very slowly and evenly.
When panOraming to secure a
picture of a moving subject, such as
running horse or a speeding mo-
tor boat, the motion of the camera
depends upon the rapidity with
which the subject moves: The
subject must not be close to the
camera. The moving subject should
be kept as nearly in the center of
the finder as possible.
The most effective, pictures are
those in which not more than one
third of the picture area consists of
sky, sea or very light foreground.
When making a distant view the
best effects are obtained by having
some nearby object in the fore
ground.
Keep the lens clean. A soft linen
or cotton cloth, free from lint,
around the end of match,
may be used for this purpose. At
the seashore or on ocean voyages
the lens requires frequent cleaning.

is more fun, more useful
