FOREIGN MOTOR TOURS
GAIN IN POPULARITY
A. A. A. Reports Shipping 500
More Cars Abroad Than in Same
Period Last Year. =

Additional proof of the growing popu-
larity of motor touring abroad is seen In
the ia that during the first six months
Of this year the foreign division OF the
American Automobile Association ship
ped 500 more cars than 1t shipped In
the corresponding period Of last year.
The A. "A. says that the simpiified
regulations for handling cars destined
for foreign points, the facilities of steam
ship lines for transporting automobiles
and the willingness on the part OF Eu-
ropean nations to make travel easy for
the visitor has had telling effect on
motoring abroad.
The foreign division of the A.. A. A.
handles all details for the motorists de-
string to take their cars abroad, from
the time they are delivered to the dock
at the American port of departure until
they are made ready for the road IN the
country to be first visited, =
while there has been an increase in
the number Of cars shipped abroad. =
SAYS the foreign division of the national
motoring body, there has also been a
gain in the number of foreign cars ship
ped into this country for use Of the
owners In motor touring. This has been
due in o large measure to the decision
of the Treasury Department to allow
foreign motorists to bring their cars, to
this country free Of duty for a period OF
90 days.
Many foreign nations are co-operat-
ing with the American Automobile As
sociation in the move to promote inter-
national travel and the result Is bound
to react to the advantage Of all coun-
tries. The intermingling Of motor tour
lists of all nationalities is certain to
mean a better understanding and q
spirit Of friendliness between the ma
tions."

AUTOMOBILE MORTALITY
RATE SHOWS DECREASE
special pispatch to The star.


BALTIMORE, September ga de-
cline in the mortality record from au-
tonfobile accidents this year among the
more than 100000 industrial policy
holders of a large insurance company
as compared to last years figures, i'
reflected in statistics collected here by
the Baltimore Safety Council.
The insurance company announced
that analysis Of their records up TO Au-
gust 10 last showed decline In auto
mobile fatalities for the nrSt time III
II years.
John p. Rostmeyer, director of the
Baltimore Safety Council, said MS ne-
ures showed that there were so fatalities
in trafic accidents in the city curing
the first six months OF 1928, as COM
pared to So in 1927. These figures are
not based on automobile deaths alone.
but include all types of vehicles.
In the first six months Of 1928 there
were 6,293 hits or trafic accidents in
the city. according to the councils rec
ords. This compared to 6,967 accidents
| in 1927. showing decline Of 674, or 80
per cent.
OF these accidents 2,035 we're classcd
| this year as personal---very. acciden s.
in which 2.29l persons were hurt, eX-
elusive of the 60 who died. Last year
1926 were recorded as personal---very.
accidents and 2,544 persons were in
jured, not including the 81 who were
killed.
The decrease this year In personal :
injury accidents Is therefore 29l, or l2.5
per cent. while the number of persons
injured has fallen of 253, or SO per

A. A. A. Foreign Division Gives
Information of Value to Motor

Encouraged by the increased facili-
ties and services offered for motor tour

before are taking their cars to Europe
and are visiting the far-famed spots OF
scenic and historic interest under their
own power. 49,
This information is given out by the
foreign division of the American Auto
mobile Association, which acts as rep
resentative of the Alliance 1nterna-
tionale de Tourisme, composed OF tne
leading touring clubs OF this country
and the Old World.
Those contemplating taking dhelr
own cars abroad or seeing europe ny
motor will find greatly improved serV-
ices at their command. resulting large
" from continued study OF motoring
conditions by A. A. A. representatives
ard those of foreign governments, says
the foreign division. Some of these are:
Steamship lines have arranged to trans
port automobiles uncrated1 and AZ a
fiat rate, according to weight; the A.
A. A. will aid members IN obtaining
passports to leave the United STATES,
arrange for the delivery OF necessary
travel documents and licenses. and nave
them delivered by representatives upon
the arrival of the motorist in Europe;
customs barriers have been virtually re-
moved as a result of the A. A. A. being
granted the right by foreign govern
ments TO issue papers allowing the
motor tourist to travel at will and with
a minimum of trouble.

CARBON MONOXIDE
GAS WARNING GIVEN
U. S. Public Health Service eau.
tions Against Running
Motor in Garage.

with the millions upon millions of
motor cars In daily service, much has
been said about the danger of n1onoxide
gas" states a local automobile dis
tributer. Despite warnings not to run
an automobile engine in a garage, par
ticularly with the doors closed, there
continues to be deaths from this cause.
But now comes q Statemer. from a
more authoritative source which af-
firms with considerable stress every
previous warning which has been
broadcast.
The United States Public Health Serv-
ice recently finished a survey to as
certain whether automobile exhaust
gas constituted health menace in
large cities. In stating its findings the
health service had this to say about
garages:
THE great danger to life is unques-
tionably in the small private garage.
containing one or two cars. Under
any circumstances the discharge of an
automobile exhaust into rooted in
closure should be regarded as haz-
ardous act"
There is nothing ambiguous about
this statement. 1t means but one
thing-that death turks within ga
rage for any motorist who permits his
engine to run longer than is necessary
for driving the car into the garage
and leaving 1t. One must not forget
that carbon monoXide is an odorless
gas. 1t cannot be detected as one
would identify any of the other gases
which have distinguishing odors. An
exhaust gas has an obnoxious smell, but
that does not indicate the carbon
monoxide content. ..,
Because of this it presents itself
stealthily and wreaks harm, so the only
way to combat it is TO exercise caution
at all times. Run the motor only in
the open. and when you do start the
car In the garage to back 1t out, be
sure the doors are wide open always.

In the Motor World

craft laws, have long gone inte

goes.
Two Sights Of Interest.
Two interesting sights for motor
lists, new during the past year, are
the Holland Vehicular Tunnel, be-
tween New York and New Jersey;
and the roadway over the Como
wingo Dam, which forcefully
blocks the Susquehanna River
These two masterpieces of modern
ingenuity are worth trips to see, II
for nothing else.
Conowingo Dam generates elec-
trio power second only to Niagara
It's massive construction, with the
artificial lake on one side and Che
valley of the SuSquehanna below,
affords the eaSterner a picture OF
the combined forces of nature and
man that is seldom eQualed. It's
result is power, and mighty one
1t is.
The Holland Tunnel, more Of a
giant in construction, and by it's
building a greater engineering
feat, is one of the modern won-
ders of the world. Easily acces-
sible at both entrances. it does
away with driving onto a ferry
and quickenS and enthralls the
trip into and out of New York.
The ways are clearly marked. From
Newark the way is clearly routed
through Hoboken avenue into
Jersey City and the entrance
plaza. From New York the driver
continues down Broadway to
Canal street, where he turns west
or right and in a few blocks he is
at the tube. Inside the motorist
breezeS along one of the two Lanes
going in his direction at the rate
of 80 to 40 miles an hour through
dry tiling brilliantly lighted that
would do credit to any Turkish
bath. Trucks and slow moving
vehicles use one lane, the fast
moving cars the other. At no time
does the driver see cars coming
in the other direction. The venti-
lation is perfect. The smell of
gasoline or the sight of smoke is
non- -eistent. A few minutes and
the drive is finished.
The length of the tunnel is
9.250 feet, with $3.50. feet under
the river. 1t is 20 feet wide and
has an hourly capacitv in both iii
rections of 1890 vehicles. The
estimated daily traffic is $4,000
vehicles.
Work was started on September

''Pull''
Held Not a Real
Test for Motor

Climbing steep hills in high gear
has long been practically regarded
as the supreme test of an automo-
bile's pulling power" comments a
local automobile distributor. There
is scarcely q car owner who has not
returned from a trip and announced
in great elation that his car has
pulled this or that grade in high
without reaching speed lower than
Is miles an hour at any time.
Popular as the test may be, it
is, nevertheless, not real test OF
the power ,of q motor car. II you
want to test the pulling prowess of
Z your motor car on your favorite
hill, against cars Of competitive
make, the thing to do Is to find out
which car can ascend the hill In the
slowest time, rather than the fastest.
To make the test still more difficult,
start at the bottom of the hill from
q standstill, so that there is no mo-
mentum to carry the car part way
UP the hill.
This type of test demonstrates
more than mere power, for 1t con-
clusively shows the fiexibility of
power plant. Every internal COM
bustion engine has certain speed
at which it develops its naximun2
power. A highly efficient motor,
therefore, should be flexible enough
to maintain an even flow Of power
even at an extremely low rate OF
speed, without knocking or bucking."

The practice of hitch-hiking, he said,
is dangerous because it imperils the
hiker and the motorist too. The hiker
Is In danger Of being run down and
injured or killed, and the .motorist who
takes a stranger into his machine Is
risking attack and robbery, said the
commissioner.
He stated that one way in which the
traffic laws could be more widely en-

report violations by the five per cent
who do not.
