MOTORISTS AIDED
BY CONGRESS VOTE
Repeal of Excise Tax and
Passage of Road Aid
Bill Cited.

Three me- sures of prime importance
to the millions of automobile users OF
the country were favorahIy acted upon
this wesk by Congress, 1t is announced
by the legislative department OF the
American Motorists Association.
Foremost was the repeal of the three
per cent excise tax on automobiles,
which will save the motorists OF the
country s66. 5000 this year. Repeal
of the tax marks the elimination of a
long fight that has been waged by the
automobile users of the country The
tax first became operative on october
4, 1917 and has yielded y the Govern
ment a total OF $I.i45, ,786 900.
Federal Highway Aid.
During the same period the Federal
Government has put back into the
Federal-aid highway system OF the
country approximately one-half OF this
sum collected from the motorists.
Of almost equal importance to the
motorists was the passage of S-2327,
being the Federal-aid BILL which guar
antees for the fiscal years Of 1880 and
1881 a continuance of the $4,000, 900
annually appropriated for Federal high
way aid.
The third measure was the passage
by a vote of lit to 81, Of the George
Washington Memorial highway bill, ap-
propriating $4,500, 900 for the construc-
ton OF the Nations finest boulevard
running from Washington, via Airing
ton Cemetery. TO Mount Vernon.
Supported by Association.
Passage OF all three measures was
ardently supported by the American
Motorists Association, and their adop-
ton by Congress will meet with the un-
qualified approval OF the millions OF
motorists OF the country" according TO
Thomas j. Keefe. general manager oil
the motoring organization. The excise
tax should have been eliminated years
ago when. the other luxury taxes were
repealed. The $4,000. 600 Federal aid
annual appropriation Is most essential
If the Federal Governments road build
ing program is to keep abreast OF the
increasing registration OF automobiles
while the s4,500,000 appropriation for
the Washington Memorial Highway Is
but an added step in the Nations high
way program and win be enjoyed by
hundreds OF thousands OF motorists an
nually In visiting this national shrine
which for over a century has been ac-
cessible only by dirt road Mr.. keeft
declared.

Speed of Drivers Thinking Is Key
To Accident Rate, Professor Finds

Standards. he points out, showed that
81 automobile operators examined re-
quired an average time of 0.54 seconds
to apply the brake pedal after they had
received the signal. Driving at so miles
an hour and reacting at this average
speed, motorist would run 47l2 feet
after getting a stop signal before he
applied his brakes Some operators had
a reaction time Of more than second.
THE experimenters claim" says Prof.
Park. that there is little doubt that
many drivers could be picked up on the
streets who would have reaction times
as long as one and half Of even two
seconds. The operator must act quickly.
otherwise the distance the car would
run during the drivers reaction time
might be greater than the distance in
which the brakes would bring the car
TO rest.
1T is my opinion that when auto
mobile operators have knowledge OF
their reaction times and know in what
distance they can actually stop their
cars under all conditions. and when
they confine their attention TO operat-
ing the car and drive at a speed at
which they can BRING their car 10 rest
within the distance for which they can
see a clear way, then there win be fewer
accidents on the highways attributable
to excessive speed"

NEW DESIGNS PROPOSED
FOR RACING CAR ENGINES
Entries on Indianapolis Speedway
One-Seventh the Size
Used in 1911.
BY BECK

Racing cars on the Indianapolis
Speedway May 80 will for the third
successive year be propelled by motors
with a piston displacement of 9l.5 cubic
inches, only one-seventh the size of the
big, numbering cars with 900 cubic
inches displacement when the first race
was run in 1911. according to the con-
test board of the American Automobile
Association.
There have been six changes in the
piston displacement" says the contest
board. designed primarily to aid the
automobile industry. which was the mo-
tive behind the building of the speed
way. The present-day racing cars are
often referred to as the 'vest-pocket'
type. but they have developed amazing
speed records"
In i9ll-l2 the piston displacement
was 500 cubic inches; l9l3-l4. 450;
l9l5-l6-t9. 300: i920-21-22, 1888; 1928

Complaint has been made be-
cause of vendors of flowers, pop
corn, peanuts and balloons con-
tinue to sell their wares on the
various circles of the city. notably
Dupont Circle, where at many
times during the day traffic is very
heavy. It is not the venderS them
selves the motorists object to, but
what results. The merchants oc-
cupy the sidewalks on the inside
of the circle, which side the driver
generally hugs VIII n rounding.
Frequently a motoriSt will come
to a stop beside the vender to
make a purchase and not only
ties up traffic, but if he fails to
signal, as often is the case, causes
accidents. 1t has been Suggested
that the merchants be prohibited
from using the inner part of the
circle and be compelled TO use the
outer side, where the flow of traf-
flc is not so heavy The selling
of their wares at this side would
be just as convenient to the home
ward driver and would greatly
eliminate pending trouble.
Kidding City Menaces.
The Office of the director of
traffic continues it's important
duty in eliminating drivers from
the streets of the city that have
made themselves a menace to
others. During the first half of
this month 80 operators permits
were revoked or suspended. The
director restored 81. Such elimi-
nation should in time have its ef
feet on the numbers of accidents.
Permits were taken away for the
the following reasons: Driving
while intoxicated, "a: leaving after
colliding, 6; fraudulent representa-

LONDON. July 30 Anticipate
of the horrors Of air raids In the fu-
ture, ais discussed In the house OF
lords, have thrilled every Londoner.
To produce lethal atmosphere
over practically the whole Of Lon
don, said Lord Halsbury, expert on
poison gases, only 1000 tons Of phos.
gene gas would be required. Yet
phosgene gas for purposes of war is
as out-of-date az the blunderbuss.
Tear Gas
There is a new gas 80 deadly
that concentration OF one part In
10 million parts of air would prob
ably incapacitate a man In d min.
ute. With this gas only 40 tons
would be necessary to make London
Ietha1 chamber from the ground to
40 feet in the air.
Z. Al bomb filled with this poison
gas, dropped in Picadilly Circus
would kill every man. woman ana
child in London on the north side Of
the River Thames.
ASK any expert, and he will say
that at the present moment London
is at thke mercy Of any nation, rea-
sonabIy close. which is eviliy dis
posed enough to come and Obliterate
it, and that London could be abso-
lutely and completely ob1iterated.
Lord Rayleigh, the famous scien-
fist. also made the flesh Of the house
Of lords creep.
You must make preparations Tor
the evacuation OF London" he said.
People will say: You cannot evacu-
ate London But London will have
to be evacuated. Possibly masses OF
pepole will flock out Of London. The
only question IS whether they viii
flock out tramping on one another,
or in an ordinary effective manner.
"The principal buildings should
be made gas-proof. and means might
be devised OF sucking the gas away
