amount Of elapsed time needed for put
ting the car away and taking 1t out
again.
Insurance Rates Affected.
Garage owners are by no means
entirely responsible for the high cost
Of their service. Insurance expert
ence should be carefully studied with
respect to garages since the rate in
many communities on this type of
building is extremely high. In the old
days before modern construction build
ings and before present day develop
ment of the motor car, it was assumed
that the storage of motor vehicles Gre
ated an especial fire hazard The re-
suit has been that not only have in
surance rates been high but vast
number of special regulations have been
made requiring extra expensive con-
struction in garage buildings. This is
a problem which Chambers of Com
merce could profitably investigate
Prevention of fire risk is a fundamental
which should be always observed. but
the rates on buildings should not be
higher than that which experience
proves to be necessary.
Another necessity is the provision
of sufficient garage space in sections
where new apartments are being erect
ed. Particularly in new developments
large apartment buildings are con-
structed with considerable delay before
any garage accommodation is provided
While the city regulations in such cases
may prohibit all-night parking IT often
becomes very difficult to enforce these
rules where there are no facilities near
the place of residence.
%
1.-The renting agent is tempted to as
sure the customer that such regula-
tons will not be too stringently en-
forced. 1t is sound business policy as
well as civic necessity for garaging to
be considered in connection with an
apartment development
Parking garages or lots are COM
parable to airplane landing fields /
look forward to the time in the near
/ future when many of the larger COM
munities will have municipal parking
spaces with moderate charges on
self-supporting basis.
There already is such a develop
ment near the outer drive in Chicago
The parking lots there (some are free
and on some charge of 25 cents Is
made) can accommodate 1900 cars.
Some such provision is necessary In
large cities. It may be undertaken by
the city or by the chamber OF COM
merce, or by the merchants as in
Philadelphia
In the smaller towns and cities
such provisions are not usually neces-
sary because Of the large amount of
street space available in proportion to
/ the number of vehicles But for the
metropolitan areas this is one of the
big jobs to free traffic frcm congestion. Z"

ROAD RULES GIVEN
FOR AUTO DRIVERS
MARYLAND Commissioner Says All
Motor Operators Should Practice
What They Preach.

BALTIMORE May 2s (SpeciaD .--
Practice what you preach" is a good
rule for automobile drivers to follow.
according to z. Austin Baughman'
motor vehicle commissioner.
"If, when driving, one discovers
elaring fault in the operating habits OF
the other fellow one would imn1e-
diately analyze ones own habits to see
II one does not sometimes indulge IN
the same violation. much OF benent To-
ward safety would result. vastly more
Improvement In conditions would accrue
than through Just laying the blame on
the other fellow and letting 1t so at
that" he said In urging motor vehicle
drivers to be sure to first remove the
beam from their own eye" before dis
cussing the moat In "the other fellows"
Don't make II habit to blame the
other fellow until one is Gure one Is not
at times guilty OF the same type OF
operation" SAYS the commissioner.
"If, when persons are inclined 10
criticize the other fellow they would
only stop for a moment and make a
searching analysis Of their own methods
OF operating a car. and apply the rule
obtained thereby to an endeaVor for
their own Improvement, In an honest
effort to place their driving habits above
fair criticign. accident prevention would
be almost automatic In It's accomplish
ment.
Just as long as one attempts always
to lay the blame on the other fellow
and let 1t go at that, nothing will be
achieved On the other hand should
every one endeayor 10 develop spirit
OF fair play. an immediate improvement
would be effected
In listening to discussions where tha
other fellow is condemned one cannot
but wonder II the person doing the
c!!ticizing Is always free from the same
type OF mistakes. Does he, when late
Tor an appointment step on It and take
chance here and there? Does he, con-
ifonted With an emergency. assume the
prcrogattve OF keeping going under all

tated and cut out OF line regardless Of

many years OF driving experience that

RUBBER is HELD VITAL

One popular brand OF motor car uses
rubber spring mountings, dispensing
entirely with metal shackles. the spring
ends being anchored in blocks Of live
rubber. The manufacturer of this well
established line. which includes skies
and fours. also uses rubber as cushion
engine mountings. preventing metal-to-
metal contact, with its accompanying
rumble and sound vibration.
To insure the maintenance OF the
high quality Of material used by this
manufactures. the factory engineers
have designed a special machine by
which all shipments Of rubber are sub
iected TO rigorous tests to determine its
tensile strength and other qualities.
Rubber intended for use must stretch
at least go per cent before IL breaks,
and at the moment of swapping 1t must
show strength Of at least $500 pounds
per square inch--a resistance far in
excess Of any strain ever put on 1t In
