As "A result, municipalities in every

for record breaking motoring season.
Many cities which have no such camps

America n.made automobile acCes-

judging by a report recently COM
piled by the Automotive Equipment
Association which discloses the fact
that exports Of accessories and
equipment ,from the United States
rose more than 20 per cent in 1925 as
compared with figures of the preced-
ing year. The report was issued by
William NJ Webster, commissioner of
the association. following a survey of
the production of automobiles and
equipment, as well as exports of such
articles.
American car owners. as we'll as
foreigners, prefer to select their ac-
cessories and equipment after buying
their cars. thus being able to express
their individuality. according to the
report.

How many motorists can picture
their engines running in reverse di-
rection?
Students in aviation engineering are
, required to work out some problems
that would literally astonish the aver
age motorist, and even the mechanic
who seems to do such wonders with
the car. They are asked to tell what
position piston No. of VIZ is in
while piston No. is going down on
it's power stroke. Reversing an en-
gine, mentally, is something on that
order. You can get a headache easily
thinking about it.
Many motorists, however, have rea-
son to wonder about this business of
engine reversal because they do not
know whether to leave the car in
second or reverse gear TO hold 1t bet
ter when parking while headed down
hill. II the car is in reverse, the
engine tends to revolve backward II
the pistons move a little, and the
question arises whether compression
is the same II the engine revolves
normally or reverse.
II is obvious that, no matter which
way 1t turns, there is point in the
course of each piston where both
valves for it's cylinder are closed
Thus there is compression il the en-

being narrowly averted constantly
because of ignorance or willful vio-
lation OF this rule.
Probably the simplest rendering OF
the regulation is this:
Stop and wait until the boulevard
is sufficiently clear to permit cross
ing without the slightest impedance
of traffic on it"
No other Interpretation is possible.
The rule seems altogether too
simple and too worthwhile to be
nullihed by ignorance or willful
disobedience.
In connection with this provision
of the regulation, an excessively
annoying type of driver has been
created in the District. He is the
one who. ignorant of the regulation,
reveals his ignorance and impatience
when blocked behind driver who
knows the code and attempts ito
abide by it.
Every driver who is acquainted d
with the system has been forced
to put up with this nuisance. He
pulls up to the intersection. stops
and waits for a clearing in the
boulevard traffic. While he waits
and obeys the law, the driver behind
brays his impatience with long and
vigorous blasts of the horn.

Much has been written and con-
siderable wrath has been vented on
the road hog" But there is another
variety of pestiferous motorist at
times as annoying as the one who
takes up the road so completely
that passing is virtual impossibiity.
This type of bothersome individual
might be termed the parking hog"
He is the cause of a great deal of
inconvenience and does his share of
complicating one important phase of
the traffic problem.
The parking hog makes sure
that plenty of parking spaces go to
waste in the congested sections of
the city. He swings into the curb
and stops. Would he back out even
once to get into a position that
would not be diagonal and occupy
the room that is sufficient for two
cars: Not so any one could notice.
Once this thoughtless type of motor
ist parks, he is parked permanently
until he has occasion to move to
suit his own convenience. One can
go along such thoroughfares as
Eleventh street above Pennsylvania
avenue or Immediately. below it,
Thirteenth street between F and |
streets and other streets where
angle parking is permitted and find
cars parked in spaces that actually
would accommodate three ordinary
automobiles.

Are you ever puzzled to know
whether the green light is on or off

traffic signal:
Do not be puzzled. Green is the
light most affected by the suns rays.
Red comes through fairly we'll, and

tell it you are privileged TO complete

II F any provision of the traffic
code is to achieve the end for
which it was designed, it Is
= imperative that it be fully
understood by every driver. Inter
preted incorrectly or misunderstood
some of the most inherently sound
and desirable regulations have an
element of danger.
Such a regulation is the one that
requires drivers in the District OF
Columbia to stop at arterial high
ways.
1t does not take a great deal of
experience to determine that this is
among the most grossly miscon-
strued or disobeyed provisions OF
the local traffic code. That it should
be is a decidedly unfavorable COM
mentary on the comprehension or
the willingness of the average driver
to cooperate.
The provision is simple. clear,
concise and is based on the soundest
kind of reasoning. 1t reflects the
most progressive thought in traffic
engineering and. understood and
obeyed, serves to speed up motor
vehicle movement as well a. 10 make
it more safe.
The stop signs erected at streets
intersecting the arterial highway or
boulevard mean not only stop, but
of equal if not more importance,
wait until the boulevard is clear be-
fore attempting TO cross. Stopping
is not enough. One can stop and
still flagrantly violate the law and
endanger himself and others. He
must wait until he has a chance to
cross without impeding the traffic on
the more important thoroughface.
1t is obvious that thousands of
drivers in the District do not know
this. Too many think that, having
stopped momentarily, they have
complied with the regulation and
arc free to proceed again.
Nothing could be farther from the
truth. Nothing could be more un-
reasonable What possible advantage
TO the traffic situation could come
from having car stop at the inter
section and then proceed again with
no thought given to its relation to
the traffic on the arterial highway?
The answer. patiently. is None" "
Why. it is easy to conceive of cir
cumstances in which such stopping
would be absurd and dangerous.
The waiting really is the important
part of the provision and yet this
is the point that is completely lost
upon hundreds of Washington
drivers.
Absolute right.of-way is given to
the boulevard traffic. There is no
exception to this rule. Many drivers
think they have the right of way
over the arterial highway vehicle
stream if, after having stopped, they
are on the right. They would profit
by realizing that they have. abso-
lutely no right on the boulevard
until the way is clear If there is
a collision, the burden of proof rests
upon the driver who entered the
boulevard. Court records indicate
that it is a burden that few are able
to handle when it comes to proving
innocence.

w1ND-BORNE DUST

Winds charge the atmosphere
with millions of tons of dust every
year and it is often carried to great
distances before it settleE to the
earth. In China an area OF some
100000 square miles is covered to
a depth Of hundreds and even thou
sands of feet with a fine yellowish
soil called "loess," which is supposed
to have been brought by the winds
from the deserts and dry steppes of
central Asia.
In March, 1901, series Of dust
storms occurred in the northern
part of the Sahara and the dust,
after being whirled upward by cy-
clonic winds to a great height, was
eventually deposited over most Of
western Europe to a distance Of
$500 miles from the place of origin.
An elaborate study was made of this
"dustfall" by two German meteor
ologists, Hellman and Meinardus.
who estimated that not less than
100000 tons of the deposit fell over
the continent of Europe and as
much more over the Mediterranean.
On the African coast the deposit is
supposed to have amounted to $780,
o00,0Go tons.
A reddish haze. due to dust from
re Sahara, is frequently eEcoun-
-ered by vessels in the regjun be-
tween the Canaries and the Cape
Verde Islands. This haze probably
gave rise to the reports of "Sea

SAYS:

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio. Aug. 81
During the last two months have
travelled 5000 miles through the
northeastern section of the United
States, have visited thirteen cities
and three times as many industries,
have talked with farmers and farm
hands, with coal operators and coal
miners, with steel magnates and
taXicab drivers, with preachers, po-
licemen and politicians. My impress
sion is that the country is prosper
Gus, according to the accepted use
of the word, but that its very pros
perity is breeding tendencies that
are dangerous.
There is widespread disposition
to glorify the artificial structures
that make men rich and to neglect
the natural foundations on which
those structures stand. We have
become too satisfied with the fruit
of our industrial tree to pay proper
attention to the roots.
