FOUR FIELDS OPEN
FOR BUSES IN CITY
Experts Hold Coaches Best
for Short Lines and in
Feeder System.

That four different fields of motor
coach operation in cities offer possi-
bilities of profit was the opinion eX-
pressed by r. n. Graham, manager of
railways of the Pennsylvania Ohio
Railways Co, at a recent meeting OF
the metropolitan section of the So
clety of Automotive Engineers in New
York. Mr. Graham has had consider
able experience in city and interurban
motor-coach operation IN northern
ohio.
Basing his views upon his expert
ence, the speaker asserted that motor
coaches could he profitably operated
in cities on routes of not more than
three miles where traffic is dense, on
longer routes where peculiar condi
tions provide short-haul traffic, on
routes serving territory that Is not
served by street cars, but where some
form of transportation is needed, and
in special service at a higher rate of
fare to furnish unusual convenience to
customers. such as express service
from the suburbs to the heart of the
city.
Best for Short Lines
In addition to these urban fields
there is field of great opportunity In
interurban service where the earnings
are not limited by the low fiat rate of
fare that prevails in cities.
At the same meeting, Adrian
Hughes, jr.. superintendent of motor
oach service of the United Railways 4
Electric co. of Baltimore, said that
a the result of operation of motor
coaches since 1915 and an intensive
study of such operation he doubted
if the motor coach has much of field
in 10 rit In, Natt inyY wit y
street cars, hut it has an applica ton
for connecting lines and feeder lines.
However, comparing costs Of serv
ice by motor coach with equal service
by street car, an indicated saving of
more than 100000 a year by the use
OF motor coaches has been found, and
from this point of view the operation
is very satisfactory.
Good In Rush Hour.
Motor coaches probably can be oper-
ated profitably in many cities in the
inner traffic zone. leaving the street
railway to operate the longer fiat fare
city routes with cars of larger ca
pacity, said G. w. Stocks, editor of
Bus Transportation. This inner zone
would have a radius Of 3 miles and
a maximum length of haul of miles,
at q fiat fare Of cents. Another
field Is direct shortcut routes from
centers OF large employment to resi-
dence districts at specific times of day.
The routes can be laid out to meet the
needs OF the workers without passing
through the central traffic point and
requiring passengers to transfer to
other routes. The motor coach also
seems suitable, he said, for special
rush-hour service in one-way traffic to
take the place of tripper-car service to
tie in parts of the city that are not
reached by the regular routes.

ITALIAN CLUB IN MOVE
TO BOOST AUTO SALES
Campaign Lal nched for Install
ment Buying, Lower Fuel Prices
and Better Roads.

In order TO expand the use and popu
larity of the motor car in Italy, the
Automobile Club of Italy has begun a
far-reaching campaign which includes
the facilitating of automobile sales by
inauguration of installment buying
the working toward a reduction in
the price of gasoline and other fuel
the rehabiltating of 10000 kilometers
of roads and putting them in first
class condition, cooperation between
the various local automobile clubs and
many other projects.
In order to fulfil its program, 1t is
planned to cooperate with the various
ministers of the government.

TAX COLLECTION SCHEME
Tags May be Refused Autoists Un-
til Levy on Machine Is
Paid Under New Law.

A Statewide bill providing for pay.
ment of taxes on automobiles before
certificates of registration or license
tags are issued will be recomme nded
by the judiciary committee of the
Maryland House Of Delegates, accord
ing to Francis A. Michel. chairman.
Statewide bills directing the COM
missioner of motor vehicles to refuse
to issue or transfer any plate or
marker certificate of registration or
title for any motor vehicle, unless he
is satisfied that all taxes due and in
arrears thereon have been paid, have
been introduced by Senator Ensor and
Delegate Cronin, both of Hartford
County. The bills are identical.

TOP COVERS NECESSARY.
Offer Protection from Rain ant
Add to Appearance.

Covers for the open car top when
It Is down are especially worthwhile.
Unless it is protected from the ele.
ments, the top that has been lowered
Will suffer heavily from weathering.
Rain that quickly rolls off when the
top IL up trickles into the folds of
the one that is down and stays there
TO spot and rot the fabric.
Another virtue of the top cover that
every one knows is that 1t greatly
improves the appearance of the car.
IT gives trimness and neatness that
can be achieved In no other way.

MEASUREMENT MISTAKE.
Autoists Lining UP Wheels Must
Remember Distances.

Many motorists know how to line
up the front wheels, but they may
make a mistake which will throw the
test all off They probably will meas
ure the distance between the wheels
in the front and at the back, but fail
to make their measurements for the
front and back of the wheels at eX
actly the same height from the ground.
Nothing approximating accuracy can
be hoped for unless measurements are
absolutely correct.
Another mistake is to measure the
distance between the rims of the tires
instead of between the felloe bands
Of the wheels. Because tires and rims
often are out of line themselves, 1t is
practically impossible to obtain correct
front wheel alignment by basing the
test on tire and rim alignment.

Low Gear for Quick Action

If traffic is SO erratic that you must
accelerate for the quickest possible
getaway, vet may be obliged TO stop
just as suddenly. keep in low gear.
That will give the quickest pickup
with the least strain on the engine.
and 1t will provide the surest and
quickest slowing down when pedestri-
ans or other traffic get into your way
a moment or two after being told

OIL AN lNSULAT0R.
Leaking Fluid May Cause Short
Circuit.

Clean oil Is an insulator for cleo
tricity. Dirty oil may be, depending
upon the foreign matter with which 1t
lis contaminated. This should be
borne I'm mind when oil leaks out over
the engines electrical equ pment.
Frequently when oil is added to the
crankcase some of it will fall upon
the distributor head or ignition wires.
1t should be wiped of, because oil rots
rubber, but there is no need to worry
that it will cause short circuit Of the
high-tension current. If, however,
oil has worked out OF the engine into
the distributor head or wires. il may
short the current This lis due to the
metal filings In the lubricant-the
abrasive from the wear of engine
parts.

STUDY DRIVER AHEAD.
Learn Speed and Ability of Motor
ist You Follow.

When following q speedy driver on
the open road. try to gain an intui-
tive idea Of his motoring ability. Many
recent accidents have resulted be-
cause motorists had been trailing in
competent speeders. In each case
il was discovered that the drivers fol.
lowing did not know what sort Of
drivers We're ahead of them. If they
had known, they would not have fol-
lowed at approximately the same rate
of speed. Otherwise they would have
overtaken the incompetent motorists
and enjoyed the advantages Of seeing
what was ahead for themselves. Driv-
ing close behind another car means.
to a certain extent. relying upon the
other fellows judgment And that's
often a most dangerous practice.

NOT ALWAYS SAFE.
Accident Reveals Danger of Mush-
room Markers.

A recent accident on the Delaware
River suspension bridge at Phila-
delphia demonstrated again the hazard
in using mushroom traffic markers.
Innocent passengers of two other cars
were badly shaken up when the
driver of third car lost control of
the steering upon hitting one of
these markers.
Many drivers think they can run
over these devices at any speed and
without trouble. If markers are to
be used, they should be strong enough
70 keep the reckless driver and his
car to himself, thereby protecting the
innocent and serving the ends of
genuine safety

OIL STEERING WHEEL.
Makes Parking Easier and Stops
Queer Noises

Steering has been made marvelously
easy, but the driving feature still re-
cuires most of a car owners energy
that is. he is continually busy at
this particular job.
An interesting thought in connec-
ton with this fact il that the point
most frequently ignored in the lubri-
cation of a car is the top of the steer
ing wheel. Oil here means a great
deal Of energy conservation when
trying 10 put the car into a narrow
parking space.
1t also serves to eliminate one of
the most annoying groans or whistles
in the machine.

SOLDERING SIMPLIFIED.
Battery Can Be Used in Place of
Heated Iron

Soldering radiator leaks Is greatly
simplified if one has a little solder in
wire form and large storage battery.
The current of the latter can be used
quite successfully as a substitute for
a pre- cheated soldering iron. Connect
one lead from the battery to the radi-
ator core. At the end of the other
lead attach a nail or soldering tip.
Hold the solder wire to the place to
be sealed and touch it with the solder
ing tip.
The discharge Of the current upon
coming in contact with the radiator
core will cause hot spark sufficient to
D1elt the solder and make an effective
seal in the most awkward of places.
The battery should be we'll charged.

Don't Leave Cover Plates OFF.

Have you ever been tempted to leave
the cover plates off the valves while
you drove the car TO observe the ac-
ton Of this part of the motor under
actual operating conditions? Don't
do it. The modern cars valve gear is
fabricated under pressure and, IL the
covers are left off, oil will shower
over the engine and possibly cause a
great deal of trouble.

Ozark FOX HUNTS
LET D0GSCANTER
Chase Is Held at Night-Men
Sit in Tented Camps,
Entertaining.

By the Associated Press.
BENTONNILLE. Ark, January
Its a long View Halloa" from
the aristocratic fox hunts of Long
Island society to the annual camp
meetings and cosmopolitan gather
tnes of the Ozarks, but it's sport just
the same.
Sportsmen of northwest and north
Arkansas assemble by hundreds an
nually to enjoy the chase" OF the
mountain red fox.
Only the dogs do the cha sing, and
the hunts take place at night. while
owners sit in comfort beside hastily
made camp f1res and listen TO the long
bays or eager barks which indicate
10 the ears of the experts the dogs
positions in the race.
Fox Seldom Killed.
Seldom does the chase extend to the
death. A fox Is caught or killed
only through accident.
The hunters band into county or
CARNATIONS, of which the Benton
County Association is oldest in this
section. They come from the ranks
of lawyers, doctors. contractors, me-
chanics, orchardists. farmers and
laborers
Not only is the hunt not followed by
horse. owing to abundance of hills and
ravines. but few horses are seen In
the camps nowadays. Men and dogs
come by automobile. The dogs range
from valuable. pedigreed animals to
the pot ticker variety or ''just dog"
Entertainment for Hunters"
A city of tents springs up at a
different spot each year. Old.time
fiddlers and old.fashioned square
dances" furnish entertainment through
the week. Races are held each day
among the dogs to whet competition.
and an annual bench show" is an
other feature.
The chase begins about nightfall.
Several packs, numbering from Is to
20 dogs each. are transported by
automobile to different quarters The
dogs are released a few at a time.
votil the whole pack takes up the
scent.
Has Its oldest" Devotse.
Then other packs 60 into action,
and several hunts may be under way
within a radius of Ave or six miles.
Varying characteristics Of dogs and
foxes give the races endless variety
The average chase lasts two or
three hours. but sometimes II con-
tinues to II or Il. ending when the
red fox holes in at some convenient
bluff.
