SALvAGED AUTOS
SEEN AS HAZARD
Many Sold for Junk Reappear on
Roads as Menace to Grow
ing Traffic.

There are scores of thousands Of au-
tomobiles on the highways today which
were actually disposed of by their own
ers as junk. but which were salvaged,
put in running condition and sold by
Junk dealers, according to the safety
division of the American Automobile
Association.
The A. A. A. points out that it is a
common pratice throughout the country
to buy Junk cars for few dollars, put
them in some degree Of running shape
and sell them back to the public.
These mechanically ungood cars,
says the A. A. A., produce three very
bad results. First, they create serious
hazard and intensity the safety prob
lem Second they clutter the highway
and increase congestion by reason OF
their inability to maintain anything
like an average rate of speed. And
third, since these salyaged cars are al
most invariably the first venture OF
their buyers in car-owning, they get
badly stung and oftentimes get soured
on automobiles in general"
The national motoring body paid a
high tribute to the automobile deal
ers of st. Louis, who recently formed
the Auto Dealers Salvage Co. the
purpose of which is TO buy in junk
cars, dissemble them and resell such
parts as may be useful.
Such a policy" concluded the A. A
A. statement, while at the same time
that 1t is sound business for auto
dealers, would unquestionably benefit
the public generally. If the statement
is true that 1000 junk cars are resold
in st. Louis each year, there must be
scores of thousands of them sold in the
United States"

DEPLORES AUTO VANDALS
WHO MAR FALL BEAUTY

A. A. A. Issues Warning Against
Motorists Who Pluck Boughs and
Bushes to Decorate Homes.
With the smell of Autumn already In
the air, the American Automobile Asso-
citation has once more broadcast warn
ing against the depreciation of the de-
spoilers of the outdoor glories of this
season. Says the national motoring
body:
There are people who In the Fall as
well as in the Spring are highway de-
spoilers. They pluck boughs and whole
bushes with which to decorate their
homes for few days.
I'm Autumn the roads wind through
a world hung with crimson and yellow,
and wherever the vandal's eye is caught
By an unusual splash of scarlet or a
golden cluster, vandal hand destroys
in a moment the loneliness that thou
sand dews and dawns have fashioned.
This spoliation robs countless other trav-
elers of beauty such as brings man a
vision Of his God and Of the gardens
that the angels keep"

OHIO AUTO CLUB HEAD
CRITICIZES OFFICIALS
Enforcement Authorities Urged to
Concentrate Attention on In
toxicated Drivers.

CLEVELAND. Ohio. August 25.-Ii
law enforcement authorities of Ohio
would devote more attention to the rea,
cause for traffic accidents and less at
tention to technical traffic law viola
tons. accidents undoubtedly will be re-
duced and the open road and crowded
city thoroughfares made considerably
more safe
This statement, made today by Fred
H. Galley. secretary of the Cleveland
Automobile Club. follows closely on the
heels Of siX-month study by the Cleve-
land Automobile Club of local, regional
and Statewide traffic conditions and
the chief causes for traffic mishapS
Our study" said Galley. shows that
the careless. reckless and intoxicated
driver either is the direct or indirect
caESe for IS per cent of traffic acct
dents on the open road and the cause
for about so per cent of traffic m!ShapS
in city thorougfares.
The fellow. exceeding the speed limit
by or 10 miles an hour, who is arrest
ed with more frequency than the care
less, reckless and intoxicated driver,
causes less than per cent of acct
dents on the open road and even a
smaller percentage in city streets.
Hence our law enforcement forces
in Ohio ought to concentrate on the
careless, reckless and intoxicated driver
the fellow who causes the bulk of our
traffic grief-and not give almost I'M
divided attention-as they now do--to
technical traffic law infractionS such as
minor speed violations
In the cities of Ohio, of course, the
pedestrian is the direct cause for most
of the traffic accidents, according to the
Cleveland Automobile Clubs traffic
study but aside from him, the careless,
reckless and intoxicated motor car
operator stands out head and shoulders
above all other causes combined.
Law enforcement officers are within
their rights in arresting speeders, and
are fully justified in doing SO when the
speed is dangerous enough to constitute
highway hazard. But mere arresting
of drivers fer minor speed law infrac-
tons does nothing toward making the
highways safe. What the law enforce
ment forces of Ohio need to do is to
concentrate their efforts on the fellow
who hogs the road. weaves in and out
of traffic, who passes other vehicles at
dangerously close range, and who there
by makes himself menace"

URGED FOR ACCURACY

Says Setting Instrument Is

Speedometer testing courses that are

used by the motorist, according to the

the A. A. A. statement:
Making use of them so they will be
helpful, however, is not the hit or miss
process that many seem to follow.
When one reaches the marker that
designates the beginning of the meas
ured mile, one should stop directly on
the mark and set the odometer at zero
precisely at zero At the other end, an
other stop should be made at the exact
ending of the measured mile, and the

ing at the speedometer while racing

THE number of Canadian motto
clubs at present affiliated with til

the growth in membership of thes

our Canadian clubs should be represent
ed upon our governing boards in NOR
intimate way. Accordingly at our las
