These points are Corroborated by
Oscar Coolican, local Packard dealer,
who declares that all traces of damage
In the average collision case can be
effaced completely nj a negligible cost.
Explaining this point, he says:
Automobile retlnlshing has made
the same remarkable progress that

owner Of a car needs to do is find the
shop that has the necessary facilities
for this Kind of Work. Not all of

of motorists to see some of the Virtu-

this work challenge the owner TO find
signs of the original defect.
The same is true OF the elimination
of body dents. 1t is a simple matter
to remove and straighten a panel and
leave no sign of repair mark. The
new automobile finishes have helped

Stressing education and courtesy as
a means OF preventing automobile ac-
cidents, Frederick ]. Haynes, chair
man of the board of directors Of
Dodge Brothers, Inc, outlined the
work which is being done In this
direction, at a recent session of the
National Safety Congress held in
Detroit. Mr.. Haynes emphasized the
human factor in the elimination Of
accidents, and stated that If every one
could be taught what to do and be
trained in courtesy. 95 per cent of the
accidents would he avoided.
Mr.. Haynes, who also is a director
Of the National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce. pledged the fullest ef-
forts Of that body on behalf of ac-
cident prevention work.
Praises Safety Councils.
He paid tribute to the work Of
safety councils, the schools, the press
and public officials; but he looked for
the best results to come from school
and adult education. and from sense
of responsibility on the part OF the
individual citizen.
While emphasizing the fact that one
fatality is TOO many, that the Nation
cannot rest until the yearly toll is re-
uuCeU 10 a. MINIMUM, lie pOlnlSu OuL
that those working for safety are en-
titled to encouragement. Had the mum.
her of accidents in 1917, in ratio to
the number of vehicles. continued at
the same rate today the annual toll
would be "A per cent higher than 1t
is. This "a per cent cut in the rate
has taken place in the face OF an S
per cent increase in the population.
AS a guide to safe motoring, he sug-
Gested these three points:
Il. Never drive at speed in which
YOU cannot stop in the clear space
ahead of you.
%. When passing parked vehicles
watch the ground under the vehicles
for feet If there are no feet. then no
one can step out on you unawares,
If there are feet, you must be ready
for any emergency.
%. When passing trucks or com
mercial vehicles watch out for pos
sible children catching a ride.
THE rules are simple, and con
sideration for others requires no great
sacrifice
Recognizing that much remains to
be done in the way of improving
traffic conditions Mr.. Haynes made
the following recommendations:
/. A uniform system of traffic laws
for the entire United States.
2. Widening of streets wherever
possible and to the greatest extent
3. Removing all bottlenecks in all
arteries.
4. Removal of shrubbery and hedges
tending TO obscure a crossing.
5. Adjustment of grade crossings
wherever possible, within reason.
6. a drastic enforcement of traffic
laws.
{. Prohibition of parking within so
feet of street intersections.
s. Many Fairgrounds for children.

Closed Car Teaches
Open One New,
Interesting Trick

Surprising as it may seem, the
closed car has taught the open car
a new trick. This is discovered in
the convertible coupe, one of the
outstanding attractions at the Au-
tomobile Show.
In a roadster there are but two
ways TO cut off an annoying wind
using a windshield wing, or putting
up the side curtain. In the con
Vertible car the whole thing is
greatly simplified and there are no
glass projections in the way on
those days and nights when every
breath of air is welcome. All the
driver has TO do is turn the window
litter. out of the doors come the
glass windows, adjustable to any
height. The windows operate just
as firmly whether the top is up or
down.

the exchange offer may be expected.
