OLD LONDON TRADE HUB
SOON WILL BE TORN DOWN
Royal Exchange Once Was Used by
All the Guilds for Trans
action of Their Business.
By the Associated Press.

LONDON. July 80. (P)-The Royal
Exchange, at one time the greatest
business center of the British capital,
is slowly falling into disuse. 1t is
large building with a square court in
the center, situated between the Bank
of England and Mansion House.
AS far back as 1912 this building
was valued at f150,000. To build it
now would cost a far greater sum.
Once each pillar in the large hall was
allotted to one of the ancient city
companies. Members of the various
guilds used to gather round their
particular pillars for the transaction
of business.
The war removed these business
operations. With one exception, all
the big trades today have their own
special exchanges. Every Wednesday,
however. members of the old company
of wax gamblers and chemical makers
still meet to transact business. This
is now the sole commercial use Of this
one-time hub Of business activity.

The critic of the Taegliche Rund-

SAYS WATER LOSS
!. DUE TO OVERFLOW
Frequent Stops After Short
Runs Are Blamed for Cut
in Supply.

That the mysterious losses of water
from the cooling system of automo-
biles are due to overflow of liquid
on individual stops of the engine after
short runs at normal operating tenn
peratures, rather than the escape of
steam, is indicated by a series of more
than 40 experiments conducted by l.. G..
RYce. an owner driver, and reported
by him in the March issue of the
monthly journal of the Society of
Automotive Engineers.
The observations made by Mr.. RyCe
showed water losses ranging from
half pint to approximately one pint
and each time it was found to ne
due to overflow after short RUS.
Other experimenters secured like / a
suits with different engines.
The losses in most cars do not occur
while running, but as much as 25 per
cent. OF the cooling liquid may be lost
In a single day during frequent stops
after short runs. In some cases the
overflow is liquid and in others it is
vapor. This loss is believed to he due
to heat stored in the metal of the
engine and the formati of a vapor
trap in the water passages of the
cylinder head, which displaces liquid
quantity rs to cause an overflow. The
vapOr trap may be formed by stopping
on a grade or even on the level when
the car is empty and tits downward

able damage done to cars in public

the owners have been guilty of some
contributory negligence. One of the
worst things to do is to drive into a
public garage and leave the engine

engine runs quietly. the chances are
ten to- one that when the garageman
steps into the car he viii step. on the
starter, not realizing that the engine

switch off the engine and then
when he goes to start it, show him
where the starter button is and give
him any other tips that may help him
drive the ear. " IN some cars it still
is advisable to retald the spark in
starting. Others have park controls
that switch off the iS Snition when
pushed to an extreme position. If the
driver is not cautioned he may catch
his sleeve in this lever and leave the
car with ignition on.
IF you think there Is a possibility
that the garage people will tug on the
steering gear until 1t is strained you
can help matters some by having
more air I'm the front tires. and of
course you can tell the driver that
he had better keep the car in mo-

District AutOists
Urged to Preserve
Natural Beauties

Appealing to individual motorists
to do all in their power to preserve
the beauties of nature where they
are touring SO that all may enjoy
them to the fullest extent, Rudolph
Jose, pioneer Washington driver
and dealer, points out that with
the most beautiful season of the
year at hand il is imperative, for
the common good, that this golden
rule of motoring be strictly fol-
lowed.
He emphasizes the point that
one of the great joys of Spring
touring is in exploring the out-of-
the-way places, rs we'll as the bet
ter known beauty spots. Since
this is the case, he says. the
thoughtful, considerate motorist
will leave those places as he found
them, undefiled, clean and in their
original state so that the next
family to discover them will
have the same privilege to enjoy
them.
IF all would exercise just little
thought and care during the heavy
touring season of 927, there can
be no doubt but that an amazing
amount of good work could he ac-
complished in this direction" Mr..
Jose asserts.

TOWNS BROUGHT CLOSER.
New Syrian Road Cuts Long, Tire
some Trip.

Many of the discomforts and incon-
veniences of travelling in out-of-the-
way places have been abolished by the
Introduction of the motor car. The
latest instance OF this is provided by
the opening of an automobile high
way running from Aleppo, Syria, to
Latakia. by which the distance now
may be covered in five hours by ma
chine.
Formerly, in order to cover the dis
tance, 1t took the better part of two
full days. The traveller had to go
from AleppO TO Tripol by train, stay
there overnight, and proceed the next
day by horseback or camelback TO his
destination. where he usually arrived
tired disgruntled and travel-worn.
The new road, which has been ac-
lively pushed by the French author
tiles since they took over Syria as a
mandate, runs through picturesque

z STATES REDUCE
AUTOFATAL|T|ES
Sectional Cuts Reported, De-
spite National Gain to
20,819 in 1926.

DESPITE the fact that motor fatali-
ties throughout the country showed
an increase of per cent during 1926,
IL States succeeded in reducing high
way deaths over the toll of the pre-
vious IL months. This improvement
II recorded In a repor' issued by the
National Automobile Chamber of
Commerce which also shows that mo-
tor vehicle accidents In 1926 took
20.s1e lives. The figures are based on
health department statistics from the
various States.
The report further reveals that %
Etates show an increase in highway
fatalities. Thirteen provide no figures:
The grand total. however. is arrived
at by pro-rsting the records for the
30 States. When grade crossing ac-
eidents are included these are classi-
ned separately by the Census Bureau)
the total reaches $4,000.
Motor fatalities for cities over 100
900 in population We're 473 in January
of this year, as compared with $40
for December, 1926, and 1872 in Jan.
uary of last year.
1T is significant that the Corn Belt.
California and New England are the
sections to accomplish this progress
in traffic safety" saws Alvan Ma
ca uley in the report. The Corn Belt
and California regions have had the
highest ownership of cars per capita
for number of years and accordingly
have wider experience with motor
transport and population better
trained to its operation. 1t is highly
hopeful indica ton when one finds that
the more motorized States are prov
ing to, be the safest States. The Mas
sachusetts and Connecticut favorable
situations may he credited to excel
lent administration. Not only have
the motor vehicle commissioners in
these States been particularly active,
but they have been backed up by ade
ouate legislation and have had public
support"
States which have accomplished a
reduction Of highway fatalities dur
ing the year are Maine. Vermont
Massachusetts, Connecticut, Mime
sofa. Iowa. South Dakota. Kansas.
Wyoming. New Mexico, Nevada and
California.
Among the other points cited as
accomplishing reductions in accidents
is that of providing more Fairgrounds
for the children. A campaign now Is
being instituted by the Playground
and Recreation Association of Amer
lea seeking provision of play space in
all the realty subdivisions. This
movement has been indorsed by Of
Acials of 1877 real estate boards.

Garage Psychology.

We'll. what kind of a trip did you
have?" 1 asked Smith. greeting him
upon his return to the city.
Fine" he said. THAT is, il you ex-
cept the garages."
What's wrong with the garages"
You'd realize II you could see my
car and drive it," he explained. Some
thing has got to be done about this
storage business. 4 man with de-
cent car turns 1t over to some incom-
petent garage hand and trusts to luck
that he won't ruin It. Even If the
garage man is a careful driver he is
apt to break something on your car
just bet ause he is unfamiliar with it,"
Smith seemed to be just meeting an
annoyance that thousands Of motorists
know well. on tour, for business or
pleasure, the car is handled by sew
eral different persons, and unless they
are very familiar with its operation,
they can do it considerable damage.
Now, there Is the additional problem
of the downtown parking garage.
His Complaints Listed.
Smith summed up the main Difficult
ties as follows:
Garagemen force the engine to op-
crate the car before it is warm enough
to pull without excessive choking and
strain.
Many are so careless with the starter
that they hold a foot on the button
after the engine has started or during
a back fire.
Many pull out the choke as though
II were matter of life or death. Some
even mistake other controls for the
choker.
The engine too frequently is raced.
In driving down ramps the brakes
are used excessively, and the wheels
locked unnecessarily.
The steering gear is strainedby turn
ing the front wheels before the car
is in motion.
II am careful to avoid all unneces-
sary abuse of the car" Smith stated
his case, "and yet / have to see all my
work undone by these fellows who
neither know my car intimately nor
care to know it. Perhaps 1t sounds
fussy. but you know as well as ] do
that you don't have ~ race an engine
10 times to burn bearing, nor do you
