Professional Auto Drivers Required
to Pass Variety of Tests by Employers

More difficult perhaps. than any
OF these and distinct from them, now
ever. are the requirements that must
be met by the drivers employed by
the modern mortician, whose equip
ment today is completely motorized.
According to Walter A. Gawler,
Washington mortician, the average
professional driver. who is accus'
toned TO great deal more latitude
than may be extended to the driving
staff of the mortician. does not make
an acceptable employe for the latter.

Mr.. Gawler 1T is a type of car

that reason it is necessary to use
especial care in selecting men for
this purpose. A good staff OF drivers

RY w. j, V0SS.

In Washington. where there is per.
haps a greater variety of foreign
automobile license tags than any other
city in the United States, the question
arises constantly of how long motor
ist may drive here with a permit or
tags from one of the States.
The period during which the non
resident motorist may use his car here
without District permit has been
fixed generally under a provision OF
the traffic act of 1928, which stlpu-
lates that the period shall equal the
time a resident of the District is given
the same privilege outside.
Section of the act provides that
persons not legal residents of the
District of Columbia, but VINO nave
complied with all of the laws of their
home State with regard to the regis
tration of motor vehicles and lcens'
ing of oDerators thereof. shall be eX-
cnont from compliance with section
Of the act. regarding operators per

or operator into the District, equal

has previously found that a similar
privilege is extended to residents ol
the District by such state

LITTLE ATTENTION
PAID TO MUFFLER
Modern MotoriSt Fails to
Consider Influence on
Fuel Consumption.

Modern motorists frequently over
look the influence which the muff1er,
or exhaust silencer, may exert on the
fuel consumption of motor car. This
is quite contrary to their attitude of
few years ago, when many makes of
cars were equipped with "cut-outs"
and owners boasted of the extra speed
they could attain with the device open.
Between the two evils, noisy
engine and chassis and the roar of the
open exhaust, it is perhaps not strange
that some drivers of the old days pre-
ferred the barking Of the open cut
out" says the head of the engineer
ing department of Dodge Bros, Inc.
THE car of today equipped with
cut out Is unusual
THE old 'cut-out, before it .was
abandoned, however, did accomplish
nne good thing-it attracted attention
uf the motorist and Of the engineer
and designer as we'll to the inefficiencv
of some of the many types of mutfiers.
Some muff1ers silenced the exhaust eff
fectively enough, but they caused too
much back pressure and loss of engine
power and when the cut.out valve
was opened many cars showed marked
increase in speed and hillclimbing
ability.
''The natural result was the evolu-
tion of more successful, more efficient
muff1ers. Today the fitting of cut.
out valve to the exhaust pipe should
give so little increase in power, If any.
as to be scarcely noticeable to the
driver.
The function of the muffler is to
receive the hot gases which are eX-
hausted from the cylinders at high
pressure several hundred times each
minute, and after allowing them to
cool and expand, discharge them into
the air In nearly constant stream.
minus the loud reports which would
occur If they escaped through short

of one of such States may drive q
car in the District only in compliance
with the rule of reciprocity, when he
has in his possession proof that he
has complied with the laws of his

tration OF motor vehicles or the OBJ

when driving in the District carry
either a registration certificate made
out in their own names or proof that
such certificate or certincate or

GREATER COMFORT
FOR TRUCK DRIVER
Late Models Offer Passenger
Car Facilities to New
Type of Operator.

New trends in motor truck design.
in which special care and thought
have been given TO the provisions for
driver comfort, have brought about
the changed relationship between the
truck driver and the customers of the
concern which employs him.
This is the belief of p. l.. Emerson,
vice president of the General Motor
Truck Co. who declares: "In the
opinion of many large fleet owners.
the day of the old.type truck driver
has gone. He has given way. in the
pressure of intensified sales effort TO
driver who has the mentality to be
salesman, to be representative of
his company rather than merely a
deliverer of goods
This trend is necessitating closer
attention on the part of the fleet buyer
TO equipment which will permit him
TO employ. retain and develop his
drivers into real statesmen, Mr.. Emer-
son says.
Examine Models Closely.
"In meeting this new development.
the fleet owners are examining the
newest truck models closely" Mr..
Emerson declares. They are seeking
vehicle which has the quick accele-
ration. sfnoothness of operation and
braking facilities Of the passenger car.
combined with arrangements for
driver comfort, convenience of control
devices. protection from the elements
and features which compare favorably
with the passenger vehicle.
They must meet these require.
ments if they are to get the type of
men they want. Such men. they feel,
cannot bring to their work the proper
amount of interest and initiative If
they are asked to undertake such an
effort with equipment which is hard
to handle. which tires the driver
quickly through its roughness of rid
ing. its cramped drivers cab and in
convenient arrangements of devices.
If the drivers energies are taxed by
merely getting from place to place, he
cannot be expected to perform sales
duties satisfactorily.

vibrationless operation like that of the
passenger car.
Through an easy steering system
the handling Is made easy, and the
braking system Is powerful. sure and
swift, all of which make even the two
ton models safe to handle in heavy
traffic These qualities are accom-
panied by development of the driver S
cab to roomy proportions. with ample
and comfortable seat, with all control
devices arranged for maximum OF
convenience and efficiency. And the
cab construction safeguards the wide
vision and furnishes full protection
from the elements.
Higher Type Of Men.
with these provisions, the truck
owners whose vehicles are driven by
employees are able to secure the higher
type Of men. They are able to inspire
pride in careful operation, in the ap-
pearance of their car and themselves.
From the cold standpoint OF mer-
cha ndsinG there Is another advantage.
for 1t is being demonstrated that mer
chants who are called upon by this
new type Of driver sa alesman respond
TO the changes.

industry today there are executives
who began their careers in the dis
trbution end of the business. And
such executives, drawing upon recol-
lections of their own experience. are
indicating that the new truck design
