NIisdirected Car Care.

Any one who has never met Smith
has missed a good opportunity to see
how a motorist can kill his car with
kindness. Smith breads repair bills,
and yet he has gone out of his way in
many instances to try to avoid them
and by so doing has only made trouble
for himself.
"Why do you want to punish your
caro- | asked him the other day when
he was going through some illogical
manaeuverS at the garage.
To say that Smith was surprised
was putting it mildly. Here he had
applied every one of his best rules to
proong the usefulness of his car and
vet, despite his endeavors, l was ac-
cusing him of neglect and abuse.
Your attempts to care for your car
aren't genuine" | told him. II don't
mean to intimate that you are not sim
cere in your efforts to get the best out
of your car 1t is just a matter OF
questioning the value of some of those
plans you have adopted. This busi-
ness of greasing the car at certain
hour of the day every week may seem
like perfection in car ownership, but
how do you know that you are not
overlooking many vital needs of the
car on days when you have not ar
ranged for such treatment?
Second Not Always Best.
"I have often noticed that you are
very foolishly consderate of your car.
Sometimes you carry it to such eX-
tremes that you do more harm than
good. Take, for example, your habit
of always shifting into second gear
whenever you think the car is run
ming too slowly for high gear. You
have done more damage in second
gear than you could possibly have
done in high"
Here | had to explain the situation
before / could convince him of his
mistake. Smith is one Of those drivers
who seem to feel that j st because the
car is running slowly in high the en-
gine Is being strained. The moment
the speed of the car gets down below
! 10 miles an hour he shifts into second,
steps on the gas and is away like a
shot To him this is unalloyed con-
sideration for the engine, but, if he
would study the situation little more
| closely, he would see that he has the
wrong viewpoint.
Many engines have been damaged
| in second gear-and, for that matter,
the engine does not suffer all the in.

| and tear on the clutch, transmission

means accelerating the engine and

such as the water pump, generator

comparatively simple, according to
Ole Singstad, chief engineer and act
ing superintendent Of the Holland Tun-
mel. But part of it.. at the New York
pierhead line. for example. rests upon
a ledge of rock. Upon this rock the
tunnels obviously resist the tide, and
do not rise or fall. Where they leave
the rock and enter the silt. immobiity
leaves off and mobility begins. There
comes a slight strain. Mr. Singstad
says that at these sections the tunnel
is lined with cast steel instead of the
cast iron used elsewhere. The greater
tensile strength of steel absorbs the
strain and makes the bending" harm
less. he says.

given their losses as running from 10
to 25 per cent on weekdays. All insist
they will win their business back as
soon as the novelty of the tunnels
wears off," Traffic observers cite the
losses suffered by the Delaware River
ferries at Philadelphia upon the open
ing of the Camden Suspension Bridge.
However. they also say the ferries
there have since recouped some IS per
cent of what they lost, the added
travel over the bridge creating new
business for the ferries.
The Canal street zone has rallied
quickly from the impact Of the tunnel
opening. largely because of the com
pleteness of the police arrangements,
and also because of the unexpected de.
crease of the tunnel traffic itself.

spell had enabled the traffic police to
plan wholesome simplification Of their
regulations. For one thing, he says,

Advocates Of referendum on the
Maryland gasoline tax are said to be
certain to institute mandamus proceed

Winter Oil Changes

Even il the car is equipped with an
oil filter that eliminates the necessity
for changing oil so oft during the
Summer. it is we'll I, remember that
every 500 miles is the right tim, for
81 new supply of oil in Winter. The
filter is designed to remove only solids
fro1 the oil an. :, does it just as eff
fectively at one tine Of the year as
another. In Winter. however. the
lubricant Is attacked by liquids such
as gasoline, water and acid, and these
can do irreparable damage if allowed
to dilute the oil for long period The
filter may have taught one to forget

do t when Winter is at hand.

standpoint, it is even more slgnlncanl
that the slrfaced mileage, which rep
resents a proportionately larger eX'
penditure per mile, was increased py
368,3S5 miles.
This DEVELOPMENT progressed at
widely varying rates in different parts
of the country. In the New England
States. for example, there was
steady decrease of roadway mileage
from 1904 to 1921, as sections OF hlli
road were abandoned. On the otneI
hand, other sections showed necldeo
increase as. for example, in the Noun
tain States, where 1920 miles OF
new roadways were built during the
same time, nearly doubling their pre-
vious mileage. In the United States
as a whole, the number OF miles OF
highway per 100 square miles OF sur.
face increased from 1873 miles in 1904
TO S2.2 miles in 1914 and to 1910 miles
in 1925.
The most striking feature of the ex
pansion of highway mileage during
the period is not the total increase IN
mileage, but the change in the char'
acter of the new roads, Influenced as
it has been by the increase in travel
by automobiles and the transporta'
tion of both passengers anu HefcHdl'
disc by busses and motor trucks. In
1904 only IL per cent of the total
mileage was graded and surfaced, but
by 1926, ia per cent of the total
mileage was thus improved. Not only
did the total surfaced mileage increase
absolutely, but it increased also in re-
lation to the population from about
one-fifth of a mile for each 100 OF
population in 1904 to nearly one-half
mile in 1925, while during the same
time the total mileage of the country
for each 100 persons remained prac
tically stationary.
Roads Are Graded.
During the first half Of the period
most of the improvement in roadways
consisted in grading them and surfac
ing them with sand-clay, gravel ano
water-bound macadam. In 1904. 97.4
per cent of the improved roads were
thus treated. Only II per cent Of the
improved roadways in that year hat
any kind of surface treatment. At the
end of the next 10 years 5.5 per CEN
had been surface treated, while ir
1925 the proportion had risen to TO-:
per cent.

, distributor, fan and / ,aker points.
The faster these run the sooner they
wear out.
1t is surprising how much purpose.
less use these devices are given when
they are in the hands of drivers who,
like Smith, think they are being con.
s'derate, when, as matter of fact,
they are nothing short of neglectful.
Just imagine the number of useless
instance, when the driver is acceler-
ating to accomplish some of these
needless shifts.
Car Has Rolling Speed"
There is no real danger in running
in high gear at low speed, provided
the engine is not actually straining.
Occasionally you will see a driver
speeding along with cold engine in
second gear. He says he is warming
it., and would be shocked If you told
him that he was abusing the engine.
A great deal more damage has been
done in second gear than in high. Oc-
casionally in traffic it will save an en-
gine. and certainly save the rest of
the mechanism, to pick up in high
gear without shifting to second. But
this must be done considerably and
without expecting quick accelerat ton.
by letting tne engine gam speed
gradually. no harm is done. Rather
the car is spared unnecessary wear
and tear.
Driving home with Smith the other
evening l found that his car Jagged as
! if it were being overworked. though
there seemed to be nothing apparent
to explain it's lahoring. When l asked
him why we were not moving at a
smarter pace he said that he hoped to
be driving the same car for some years
to come, and had no inclination to
send it to the junk pile on my account.
That's all very well, Smith, l re-
minded him, ''but don't forget that
every car has its rolling speed. Under
or above this speed it has to work
| harder. You think you are saving the
car. but by running an ,.verage of five
miles more an hour you might stand
some chance of achieving your goal"
| That seemed to have started him
| thinking. l have since noticed that,
| instead Of trying to protect his tires
and keeping the pressure up to fixed
| figure for riding over rough roads. he
has learned the wisdom of letting the
pressure drop at times in order to pro-
vide a sufficient cushioning effect to
save the car as a whole.

PLANNING HELD AID
TO TRAFFIC ISSUE.
Engineer Sees Proper zoning
as Big Asset to Prob
lens of Cities.

Upon the functioning of proper city
and regional planning commissions in
large measure will depend the ulti-
mate solution of the Nations traffic
problems, in the opinion of Leslie j..
Sorenson, city traffic engineer of Chi
cagO.
'The development of the automobile
into a positive and dependable agency
for the transportation of people and
commodities" Mr.. Sorenson points
out, has revolutionized the construc-
tion and design of streets and high
ways and has necessitated the opening
of new arteries for travel.
Streets Offer Problem.
"The lack of street capacity to care
for the increased traffic demands is
the cause for street congestion which
has developed in most every area, and
it is for the city and regional planning
commissions to provide means for the
equal balance between street capacity
and traffic demands.
Decentralization of the business
districts in the larger American cities
are concrete examples of the result of
growing congestion, where the eco
nomic demand for greater convenience
and comfort of travel have brought
the markets in closer proximity of
homes.
"In working out a city plan that
can be put into effect, complete and
practical knowledge must be had of
conditions as they exist with a COM
prehensive study of future require

Adjust Brakes in Winter.

Winter driving, more than any other
variety. calls for equally adjusted
brakes. Traction qualities of the high

driving more difficult. 1t does not pay

Proper ZOning Needed.

AS the streets must provide means
of transportation for workers to and
from their homes, arteries for the dis
tribution of raw materials and finished
products, connecting limbs between
the residential and shopping centers,
ETC., it evolves that the proper coming
of any community tends to evenly dis.
tribute the burden of street use.
Therefore, zoning is an integral and
important part of city planning. Just
as the accessibility of intra communi.
ties within a city determine the bust.
ness value Of that community. so does
the accessibility, ease of communica-
ton between the combined business.
industrial and residential portions OF
any city determine the growth and
prosperity of that city.
