MOTOR-TYPE DRIVER
IS HELD SAFEST
Baltimore Officer Answers Doctors
Analysis Of City's Traf-
flc Hazards.


BALTIMORE, October 13-An un-
derstanding between motorists and
pedestrians would do more to reduce
traffic deaths and injuries than keeping
the "sensory'' type driver from oper-
ating his car, according to a traffic
policeman at one of the downtown cor
ners.
He was answering DR.. v. v. Andrews
statement that the person who has to
think things over before he acts should
be kept from the wheel of a motor We
hicle. DR.. Andrews divided motorists
Into two groups-the motor type"
who can do the right thing automatic
ally, and the ''sensory type" who have
to think things over and weigh possi-
biltties before acting.
The officer heartily agreed with the
doctor that these are the two types of
drivers, and that the "sensory" is the
more dangerous. There the agreement
stopped. For, said the patrolman, tits
just as right for one man to drive as
another. Every new driver is a SEN
sorry driver. He'll creep up to a corner
and look at the Semaphore two or three
times to make sure 1t says go, then start
across the street. Then if something
gets in his way, suddenly he remembers
that the sign said go, but now he has
to stop, so he gets confused. He's liable
to bust into it. But if that same driver
gets enough experience his automobile
will become as much a part of him as
his arm or his leg, and he'll stop when
something gets in the way regardless of
anything else"

TRADE FORESEES
HUGE AUTO OUTPUT
Passenger Car Production
Last Quarter of 1923 Like
Iy to Break Records.

Passenger car production for the
third quarter of 1928 will undoubtedly
exceed all previous records for the
same period of the year, according to
B. H. Cram, president of Grams Auto
motive Reports, Inc.
The estimated total number Of pas
senger cars produced during the first
nine months of 1928 is 3,097,014 units,
compared with 2,540,3l2 units in 1927
and 3,153,922 units in 1926. Produc-
ton during the 1923 period represents
an increase of 1913 per cent over 1927
and a decrease of 1.8 per cent from
1926.
Monthly production records reached
a new peak in August of 1923. Com
plete returns show that 458,4 units
were produced during that month. OF
this total, 400,6 ,689 units were passenger
cars and 57,740 were trucks. Prelimi-
nary reports indicate that September
will approach If not equal August with
an estimated pasSenger-car production
Of 392,500 cars and 57,673 trucks. These
figures combined show a total produc-
ton figure of 450173 units. The esti-
mated production figures shown are
conservative.
Considering the months individually,
we find that, without exception, each
month in 1928 is above the correspond
ing month of last year. This fact has
become even more evident during the
later months Of the year when the mar
gin of variation increased to a marked
degree.
1t is customary in the automobile in
duStry to consider the record rather
than the average as a basis for COM
pariSon. Thus far 1926 has stood as
the record year in automobile produc-
ton. With one manufacturer steadily
stepping up his production and other
leaders maintaining their production
schedules, it is entirely within reason
that when the curtain falls at the end
of the present year, 1928 will have
broken all production records.

fled to work on any car manufactured.
All mechanics think they are experts,
but if one out of five can diagnose en-
gine trouble on all cars, it Is a high
percentage.
Taking your automobile to its au-
thorized service station at regular inter-
vals is the best form of insurance you
can give it, A periodic check-up often
saves dollars In repairs. I recently
asked managers in several of these serv-
ice stations what were some of the con-
tributing causes to current engine trou-
BILE, and, in the main, they agreed on
two things-insuficient attention to mo-
tor inspection and lack of knowledge
on the part of drivers.
Most engine trouble can be directly
attributed to abuse on the part of the
driver. Probably imperfect fabrication
heads this list. With care a motors
life is estimated to be seven or eight
years, yet few of them last that long
because they are so frequently abused
through poor or insufficient lubricants.
There is one important point to be
remembered about crank case oil-add-
ing fresh. clean oil does not purify what
is already there. When quarts of
clean oil are added to 2 quarts of
dirty oil, the result is 4 quarts of
dirty oil Gritty fabrication in cylin-
der chambers, bearings and pistons will
mean expensive repairs. At required
intervals, drain the crank case. flush it
with cleansing oil and replenish with a
good quality of lubricant. 1t is cheaper
to buy gallon of fresh oil than to pay
for the damage done by an abrasive
mixture too long in the case.
Drivers frequently do not understand
the Importance of carburetor adjust
ment. The average motor car is oper-
ated on too rich mixture. Auto
mobile manufacturers advise adjusting
carburetors twice year; a leaner mix
ture in Summer than in Winter Car
buretors of today operate more eco
nomically than did earlier types, but
they are not yet perfect. and until they
are, it Is not possible to get complete
combustion in cylinder chambers. Car
buretor adjustments, besides reducing
the amount of gasoline used. reduce
the amount of carbon to be removed
from your engine"

ALCOHOL OR POLISH
CLEARS SPARK PLUGS

To clean spark plugs simply fill the
lower part Of the plug with alcohol, or
any liquid metal polish, and allow to
stand for few seconds; take a piece of
Wire covered with one thickness of cloth
and rub the carbon from the inSulator
then wipe clean and dry thoroughly be-
fore replacing in the engine Cleaning
plug in this way is far better than
taking it apart to clean. When a plug
is once taken apart there is great dam
ger that it will not be put together Sc
surely again, which would cause leak
age due to it not being gas tight. This
in turn causes loss of power,
In cleaning the sparkling points use
emery cloth or knife. In cases where
the electrode is badly worn away and
when the insulator is coated heavily
cleaning is of no avail. It is then better
to install new plugs

efficiency that little more than intelli-

IF there is an authorized service

Automobile manufacturers do not con-
slider their responsibility at an end
when car leaves the factory They
make an honest effort to put out a me-
chanically perfect product and they
have genuine interest in its perform
ance. Their economic future depends
on the satisfaction their cars give. A
garage proprietor's viewpoint Is some
what different. The bulk of his profit
and his economic future depends on re-
pair work. He cannot afford equipment
for every make of car, nor can he hope
to employ a corps of mechanics quail

PARIS AUTO SALON
|. SHOWS u. S. TREND
Reflects Influence of Ameri-
can Cars in Finish and
Decoration.

PARIS, October 13-The annual
Paris automobile salon. now open here.
undoubtedly reflects the influence OF
American cars in finish and decora-
ton. French authorities, however, have
not outdistanced American cars In this
respect, for one of the most attractive
exhibits at the salon is a fine car of
American manufacture. It is cabrio-
let done in beige gray with dark
gray belt carrying narrow black stripes.
1t has tan top. The richness of its
coloring has attracted more than usual
attention.
De Lage has turned out a car, a
cabriolet limousine. which runs a very
close second. 1t is finished in an at
tract1ve gray with a maroon belt, the
mudguard and the rest of the chassis
being also maroon, while there is a
cream stripping on the belt and the mud
guards.
Two Popular Makes.
The two stands attracting most at
| tention, due to the fact that the con.
| Germs which are exhibiting sell lows
priced cars, are Citroen and Aenault.
Citroen has new six-cylinder cars, at
| tractively decorated One is dark
green with black belt prolonged on
the hood and carrying narrow red
| stripping, while the windows are framed
with red stripes. Another is finished
| ranth-colored belt carrying narrow
| cream stripping. One of the RenaultS
has the body, the hood and the frame
around the windows In light beige,
while the upper part of the body, the
belt, the mudguards and the balance Of
| the chassis are of the same color in a
| darker shade. The belt is prolonged on
the hood, carrying two white narrow
stripes.
An attractive although sedate De
Launay Belleville is in gray very Slight
ly tinged with green, with gray belt
| and disk wheels with circles of both
colors. Voisin is showing cars mostly
Of yellowish beige. A well known
body maker is displaying car in black
with red belt and carrying two mar
row beige stripes. Another example Of
black car was small town car by
Vandenplas. 1t was all black with
holdings Of aluminium color and beige
| freize underneath each window.
Other Beige Combinations.
Binder shows a Minerva. the lower
part of the body, the window frames
and the hood being finished in beige
tinged with yellow green with a gray
belt. The disk wheels Of the car keep
metal appearance. Still another body
maker, Millonguiet, shows a greenish
gray American car, the belt of which
| is composed Of two dark blue mold
| ings, the lower part being prolonged on
the hood. Wheels, metal disks and
mudguards are dark blue.
The fashion for colors is not con-
| fined to Paris, but has also invaded
the rest of France, since a famous
Lyons body maker shows an attractive
Hispano cabriolet limousine in blue with
a black belt of the same width its
whole length. even on the hood, and
| carrying two narrow gold stripes. The
| top, wheels and mudguards of this car
are black, while the interior is uphol-
stored in a fabric with a lizard-like
effect.
