MOTOR COACH LINES OPERATE
FEEDER BUSES OF THEIR OWN
Extension of Regular Service Over Sec
ondary Highways Made Possible by
Easy Improvement of Roads.

and while no advance information has
been given out concerning the nature
Of the findings. it is hopefully assumed
that low cost road improvement Is
soon to have its day In court. And
this means greater attention to drain
age. not as an expedient, but as a
fundamental step in road improve
ment.
''In the development of bus feeder
lines through the installation OF me-
dunn weight oaches operating overlow
cost roads to connect with heavy type
parlor cars on main routes, Mont
gomery County, Md, affords forward
looking example. In that county pub
lie spirited citizens who are interested
in the full and well,rounded develop
ment of their respective communities
have organized a highway transpor-
tation company to operate on regular
schedule.
''As county developers. their pri'
mary aim is to spread realty values
over the whole county. profiting from
the result as community builders first
and bus operators last. But with new
home developments assured by the
extension of bus transporta ton facil-
tiles. profits are certain to accrue
from both phases of the enterprise,
in which the medium weight coach and
well-drained road will play no small
part"
Evening star., 1927-11-27

Inauguration of feeder lines of their
own by motor coach lines now operat-
ing on regular schedule is one OF the
most highly important transportation
developments Of the present, accord
ing to statements in bulletin just
issued by the American Highway
Educational Bureau.
A factor of great significance in this
connection. the statement points out
Is the relatively inexpensive method
of improving secondary highways with
good drainage.
"Thus it has been found" the bu-
reau says, that the extension OF bus
TRANSPORTATION does not necessarily
need to wait upon pavement. we'll
drained road answers the purpose.
and not as an expedient, but as
practical and comparatively ineXpen-
sive method of bringing a much great
err milage of community roads into

dition.
'Along this line, one Of the princi-
pal topics to come before the seventh
annual meeting of the Highway Re-
search Board to be held in Washing
ton December l and 2. Is the problem
of improving roads at low cost. The
result of an investigation covering
approximately eighteen months of re-
search will be placed before the board,

SAFE WINTER DRIVING
HINGES ON SCHEDULE
Motorists Urged to Allow Extra
Time in Trips During
Cold Spell.

Safe Winter driving begins with
readjustment of ones schedule to
allow more time for travel between
the home and office. store, shop or
plant, in the opinion of Ernest n.
Smith, general manager of the Ameri-
can Automobile Association. The al
lowance of an extra s. 10 or Is min.
utes. depending upon the distance one
has to travel, may mean Il difference
much more significant than that de-
noted merely by the TIME, he points
out.
1T Is impossible to tell how many
accidents may be traced to the indi'
viduaFs failure to adjust his driving
schedule to Winter, when so many
things conspire against ordinarily
speedy motor travel" says Mr.. Smith.
'It is not to be doubted that the num-
ber would be impressively large were
it possible to compute.
""Too fast for conditions is an ac.
cident cause that is most outstanding
in Winter, even though, on the whole,
cold-weather driving Is slower. 1t Is
we'll to remember that conditions are
radically different. Streets are slip.
perry and the weather is cold, making
Tor more difficult handling or the car,
and the temptation of pedestrians 8
to rush ahead regardless of traffic.
These and many other factors seem
to conspire against safety.
"The remedy for these conditions,
plainly, is to take more time. If the
motorist usually allows 10 minutes for
his morning iaunt to the office, why
not make it Is for Winter? No better
way to spend five minutes can be de-
vised. If this allowance Is made, there
Will he no driving that is so fast that
2 sudden stop may mean fatal skid.
1t Will mean time to let the reckless
driver pass. 1t will be adequate for
more caution in congestion. permitting
one to drive farther behind the next
car, which will make stopping possible
in case an emergency arises.
such a readjustment Of ones early
morning routine is not difficult, and
it will bear fruit in the form of great.
er traffic safety"

ALL CARS WILL SLIDE
AFTER APPLYING BRAKES
Practically Impossible to Stop
Vehicles, Especially on
Down Grades.

How many drivers remember that
when they stop suddenly it is proba BILE
that the car will slide a short distance?
Experiments have shown that on loose
gravel, or even on dirt. car may
slide, with the brakes set, far enough
to stop the wheels from rotating.
After the wheels of a car have
stopped. it is necessary to leave lit
tie margin for sliding of the entire car.
The amount of the slide will depend
upon the momentum stored up in the
car. the traction, the character of the
roadway and, in particular, the ADJUST
ment of the brakes.
If the car is headed dOwnhill, the
slide will he more pronounced. One
place where most drivers take un-
necessary chances is in public ga
rage Here there are puddles of
grease that are likely to upset normal
traction and increase the sliding effect.
The man who expects to stop the mo-
ment he succeeds in getting ma aximum
results from his brakes is due for
trouble. 1t isn't always possible to
stop an automobile even IL the wheels
are kept from revolving.

ONE PER CENT OF ALL AUTOS
STOLEN YEARLY, FIGURES SAY
Increased Police Vigilance and Various
Locks Fail to Keep 100000 Cars From
Being Taken by Thieves.

home Many people leave their cars
unlocked repeatedly, day after day,
and park them unlocked at the same
place at the same time and for the
same period every day.
This sort of thing is what the
thieves call gravy" AS they say in
their language, they do not pick up
cars on the Fly" They find out
where the owners park them, figure
out which keys will fit. if they hap
pen to be locked. and then when the
coast is clear get in and drive away.
Doctors Lose Many.
Doctors lose more cars than other
people, with real estate men close
second, a survey shows. This is be-
cause doctors jump out of their cars
in front Of patients houses, expecting
to stay only moment. But they re-
main longer than they planned. ard
when they hurry out the machine is
gone. The same failure to carry out
the intention "to stay only a moment
explains the real estate dealers losses.
After stolen cars are stripped OF
their identifying numbers, renumber-
ed and perhaps repainted and other
wise disguised they are sold. The
man or woman who buys stolen car
that aftcrward is recovered is most
unfortunate. The least he will suffer
is loss of everything he putainto the
purchase.
If the price IS very low there is
danger tho used car offered has been
stolen. To he on the safe side tie
purchaser should demand an authen-
tic hill of sale-the true one that was
given the original Gwner when he
bought the machine as a new car. In
case of doubt call on the police-they
can tell in moment il the car Is
"kinky."
Today motor car makers go To CON
siderable trouble to place suitable
numbers in their cars and on various
inconspicuouS parts Of them. They
are secretly fixed in the metal. The
manufacturer keeps q record of all
those that go into each car. but he
does not give them to the dealer.
Thus there is a combination of num-
bers in each car that can exist in
that particular car only and in NO
other. Look your car over and see II
you can find them.
Make your special mark on Your
car in number of inconspicucus
places so you will be able to identity
| it. Cut a number of small hicks or
crosses known only to yourself. Make
a copy of these marks on piece Of
paper and place ii in your lockbox
Then i'm case of disputed identity you
will have proof that you have the
right car.
