CARE WILL INSURE
STARTS IN WINTER
Batteries, Carburetor and Ignition
Need Attention to Gain
Best Results.

To many car owners "cold weather
driving" and hard c.arting" are
synonymous.
1t is true that an engine does not
start as easily in low temperature as in
the Summer, but little care on the
part of the owner will go a long way
toward minimizing the difficulty.
First, according to Sumner S. How
ard. service manager in the automobile
field, 1t is obvious that an engine in
good condition will perform all its
functions, including starting, more
satisfactorily than one which is out OF
adjustment.
The principal parts which have a di-
rect bearing on the starting of an en-
CINE are: Battery, starting motor, car
buretor, spark plugs, ignition system
and valves.
AS the efficiency of the battery is ma
terially reduced in cold weather, II
If the electrical system is weak, COM
plete combustion cannot be obtained
therefore, before the start of Winter, it
is good preventive insurance to have
some reputable electrical service station
check over the battery, spark plugs and
entire ignition system.
The starting motor very seldom
causes trouble
The carburetor must be adjusted
properly for the Winter and choke and
throttle controls connected properly.
The spark plugs ere equipped with
two electrodes set in such manner
that the electric current must Jump
across a small gap from one to the
other. In making this Jump, spark
occurs. 1t is this spark that ignites the
mixture of gasoline and air in the COM
bustion chamber of the cylinder. The
size of the gap between the electrodes
affects the type of spark produced. 1t
is, therefore, important that this gap
should be inspected for proper adjust
ment.
Obviously the spark plugs should be
cleaned, and the terminals of the spark
plug wires firmly attached. If the
plugs have been in use 10000 miles
they should be replaced.

that among the outstanding claims
there are those which are groundless
and invalid, but how many or how few
there are of this type nobody can
foresee or foretell Many OF these
claims are in suit and may eventually
materialize in substantial verdictS and
judgments, no inter how strenuously
it may be commended that they are
groundless or invalid
"For me, therefore, to assume how
many of these claims will be proved
groundless when finally decided would
be an unwarranted assumption. I have
no right to base rates on such an as
sumption.
No Appeal Now.
"Your last suggestion that the 1928
rates be permitted to remain operative
without change, and place the burden
on the insurance companies to proceed
to court to compel me to make adequate
rates can be answered by pointing out
that the time for appeal to the courts
by anybody on the 1928 rates expired
September 81, 1927, and nobody can
appeal now.
MAY 1 be permitted now to point
out the time and proper method to pur-
sue to test the proposition that the pro-
posed rates are improper and invalid.
After the filing of the memorandum
of my finding and order in my ONCE,
fixing these rates. any party in interest
may, within 20 days, petition the
Supreme Judicial Court for the County
of Suffolk for a review of the rates by
that court. A special order Of the
court may be obtained upon motion or
petition suspending the operation of the
rate schedule and the court is required
to review all questions of fact and law
and is empowered to make any appro-
pirate DEGREES modifying, amending, an
nulling, reversing or Affirming my ofil-
cial orders or acts
"If this course is followed, will make
no objection to the issuance of such a
special order. but upon the merits of
the question as to whether have acted
in accordance with the law and the
facts in establishing these rates shall
expect to be heard.
This appeal is the orderly method
and procedure established by the Legis-
lature and is the proper course to be
followed If special order is issued
suspending the rates, the motor vehicle
owners will not be compelled to pay
the increased rates until the court has
decided the whole matter on its merits.
/ IT regret my inability to answer your
letter in a less extended form, and I
assure you of my continued esteem"

their markets in as good shape as those
from any European shippers.
Future prospects for foreign bust
ness are generally excellent While we
probably will not have the rapid in
creases we have had sometimes in the
past. it is safe to forecast steady in
crease in the number of cars shipped
and in the long run the business will be
all the better without the high peak and
deep valley curves of former export
trade charts.
Good Roads Trade Factor.
Zone factor that is making for in
creased demand for automobiles abroad
is the growing attention being PAID to
good roads. In every country visited
I found genuine appreciation of the
need for highway improvement, but
financial difficulties have stood in the
way of their full realization. Most for
eign countries are still suffering from
the effects of the World War, and their
revenues are tied up by a multitude
of other needs. While there is not yet
any too much IN the way of good roads
outside some of the cities, the movement
in their behalf is steadily making prog
less, and it is particularly noticeable that
whatever is done is planned with a
view to pern1anency.

Rates Lower in IL Communities.

These 1929 rates, it is to be noted,
for these II cities and towns are lower
by 81, SIC and $40, respectively, than
the rates in force in 1926.
"You suggest that the rates are being
made on the basis Of fictitious figures.
This is an unfortunate and improper
adjective to use. It is true that there
is an element of estimate in the out
standing claims and this must neces-
sarily be so. Nobody can foreSee. What
the outstanding claims will cost can
only be determined by an estimate
when finally determined, and that cost
on the basis of reviewing each claim
separately This has been done, and
results in the total amount for out
standing claims of $5,510,282, and not
$4,000, 900. This amount of $5,510,282
covers 1881 outstanding claims and
represents an average Of $407.23 for
each claim. This amount is scientific
estimate of the amount which the in
surance companies must ultimately
pay for these claims. and Is not by any
means the total amount of damages
claimed in suit or otherwise.
II agree with you that rates made
on fictitious basis would be abso-
lutely improper, but these rates are
not being made on a fictitious basis.
ut may eventually be proven true

SPEEDERS FLAYED
IN SAFETY DRIVE
2,706 Traffic Deaths in 1927
! Laid to Fast Auto
Operators.

Unreasonable speed as a major fac
Cor in causing highway accidents was
vigorously fayed today by the Ameri-
can Road Builders Association in its
national drive for safety on the high
ways. Speed whsn nationally used, is
not always a great hazard" the asso-
citation declared. "It is speed tempered
with carelessness which causes acct
dents"
The association stated that 2,7o6 per-
sons were killed in 1927 as a direct re-
suit OF unreasonable speed. Next to
1nattention, speed eXacted the greatest
to motor vehicle drivers.
Caution Required.
cit Is the degree of courtesy and
caution used while driving which con-
tributes to safety on the highways" the
association pointed out. There are
places where a reasonably high speed
does not create a hazard, and others
= where similar speed verges upon reck-
less driving. 1t is the application of
courtesy and caution to the gauging of
speed which is desirable, rather than
the adherence to a series of rules for
the speedometer"
The organization urged drivers to OBJ
serve the speed laws under all condi-
tons Mere observance of legal speed
limits, however, Goes not indicate safe
driving. The conscientious use OF
courtesy and caution should temper the
speed used by a driver to fit the condi-
ton of traffic and roadways."
The American Road Builders AsSo-
citation pointed out the futility of I'M
reasonable speed as a means of gaining
time in travel "A Chicago taXicab COM
par1y started two cabs simultaneously,
destined for a point nine miles distant,
over main thoroughfare Of that city.
One Travelled at top speed and the
other at a reasonable speed. The
speeding cab arrived at its destination
but four minutes prior to the arrival
of the safety cab" Dozens of haz-
ards were created, lives were endang-
cred, property imperiled and laws vio-
aated-all for four minutes time"
Road Courtesy Urged.
This demonstration should serve as
q fitting example to all motorists who
scorn the adage that haste makes
waste The American Road Builders
Association does not urge the combining
of all vehicles to a low speed at all

bad weather multiplies the dangers
of unreasonable speed many times.
Emergency stops may not be made
quickly on wet streets by motor vehicles
travelling at high speeds. The dangers
of skidding are increased, and those of
collision in trafic are greatly magnifed."
The American Road Builders Associa-
ton defined desire for unreasonable
speed as a form of self1shness and
urged that it be replaced with courtesy
and caution.

AUTOS IMPROVED
BY PLANE STUDY
Improvements in Aero Engines
Adopted by Motor Car Man.
ufacturers.

Aircraft power plant engineering de-
velopmentS already have shown the
way to several Improvements in motor
car engines and, in the future, diScov-
cries in this field Of power engineering
and design may prove even more i'm
portant in the automobile world. This
opinion is expressed by Oscar Coolican,
local automotive trade director, who
points out that several of the most pop
ular aspects of the latest automobile
engines ere adaptations from the air.
craft field.
Higher compression is one Of the
boons that the new car buyer of today
regards especially highly" says Mr..
Coolican. THE aircraft power plant
showed the way in this vital respect. It
called for higher grade Of gasoline
and, in doing so, it felt out the linita-
lions imposed by the knocking charac-
terist1cs of engine fuels.
From the airplane engine, however,
it was discovered that higher compress
sion held promise of Infinitely better
performance. This higher standard of
efficiency revealed that the greater cost
OF the better fuel was more than justi-
fed"
CarbVretors Improved.
Making greater use of the heat en-
ergy in the gasoline by putting it under
compression is by no means the only
lesson that has been learned from avi.
alton, Mr.. Coolican points out. The
manner of putting fuel into the engine
to make 1t disable also has been i'm
proved along the lines suggested by
aircraft engine progress, he states.
Last Winter" Mr.. Coolican says.
we began to hear a great deal of the
acceleraticn well in the carburetor, a
compartment in which reserve supply
OF gasoline is kept available for the
moment when the throttle suddenly is
opened. Aircraft carburetors featured
this unit before 1t was adopted by the
motor car manufacturer. Other car
buretor improvements have been sug-
geSted by aviation practice, and. un-
doubtedly, still others will be. Similar
ly, manifolding has undergone q process
OF betterment.'
Among the prospective contributions
OF the aircraft engine designer to mo-
tor car engine improvement in the fu-
ture, Mr.. Coolican mentions the super
charger and oil cooling.
Supercharger Discussed.
'The supercharger for the automo-
bile engine has been discussed for many
years." he says I'm the aviation en-
CINE field 1t is being developed with in
tensity. Improving the method Of fuel
induction, 1t permits Of greater power
from a smaller engine. It's deficiencies
are being eliminated one by one and q
type that is disable in the motor car
engine undoubtedly will be developed.
"As to oil cooling, all aircraft engines
are Of the dry-sunp type, that is, the
oil is carried in a special reservoir
rather than in the crankcase. 1t en-
hances oil performance.
"O1 the whole, automobile and air.
plane engine designers are natural
allies. An interchange of developments
between each field is destined to be
helpful to BOTH"

AUTO TRADE SHOWS
GROWTH IN EUROPE
Marked Improvement Seen
as Business Conditions Be-
come Firmly Established.

Business conditions are generally inn
proving everywhere in Europe, and the
American automobile industry Is now
we'll established in all its markets, &C
cordlng to Fred 3. Sides, export man
ager in the automotive industry.
Mr.. Sides views are based on per-
sonal observation during an extensive
foreign trip. which in the past 10
months has taken him to Europe, Aus
tralia and Africa and brought him In
close contact with business men of all
large centers from England to New Zea-
land. Opening his tour by attending
the Paris and Olympia automobile
shows last Fall, he visited South Africa,
Australia and New Zealand, returning
to England by way of Ceylon and west
ern India.
Climatic conditions, which are i'm
portant factors in the prosperity OF
many of the countries visited, had
generally been very unfavorable until
within the last few months, but they
have changed distinctly for the better" 81
said Mr.. Sides after his return to De-
troit.
Business in Africa Improves.
South Africa is largely dependent
on the amount of rain, and when was
there they had been suffering from pro-
longed droughts. Recently good rains
have come, and the bearing of weather
conditions on the volume of their trade
is indicated by the increased number
of orders they are sending for American
goods.
I'm Australia the general opinion of
business men / met was that by late
Fall the worst of the depression they
were experiencing would be over, while
in New Zealand they we're already
around the corner and exports were
showing a favorable trade balance over
imports.
"The American automobile is now
well intrenched In the export field.
This is due to the power and sturdy
construction of our cars, which find
much favor because they can stand the
strain OF the rough roads they have to
negotiate. But the preference for
American cars abroad, as for American
goods generally, is due to large extent
to the close study American manufac-
turers have made of foreign markets
and their ability to produce and ship
goods so as to meet requirements OF
buyers in other lands.
Marked Change Cited.
There has been a marked change in
this respect Fifteen or twenty years
ago 1t used to be commonly said that
Americans could never compete with
Europeans in the export field, because
they did not know how to meet the
wishes Of foreign consumers and would
not take the trC unle to find out. Since
that time American manufacturers have
learned what people want in other lands
and have developed the ability not only
to make goods to suit but also to get
them into the hands of customers in
proper condition, regardless of any ex-
IRENE climatic variations to which they
are subjected on the journey to their
destination. Packing for export was al
most an unknown art in the United
States until recent years, but today
consignments from this country reach
