AUTO SHOWS HELD
SlNEWS OF MARKET
Public Waits to See Latest Models
Before Giving Orders, Says
Rudolph Jose.

Automobile shows. once condemned
by many as unjustifiably expensive and
entirely deficient in value to the motor
car industry. have completely re-cstab-
lished themselves in the confidence OF
manufacturer and distributor as re-
suit of their universal success during
the hast few years. This opinion is eX-
pressed by Rudolph Jose. who mas OIL
rected the Washington show Tor the
eighth consecutive time.
The automobile shows this year, ne
says. have clearly revealed that the
public is tremendously In favor OF the
annual panoramic array OF new models.
yearly the shows open the hood
gates of buying" says Mr.. Jose. rms
year the demand for cars following the
display has been tremendous"
He said the number of orders has
given greater weight to the prediction
that 1923 would be 5000. 0O0-car year.
THE public. apparently. has accepted
the automobile show as It's safeguard
against error The numerous changes
that the engineer Is bringing In today
have left many persons skeptical as to
their ability to get the very latest. I'M
provement IL they act before the auto
mobile show. In some ways. the dis
play is a showdown in which 1t is rec
ognized that only the latest and best
will be exhibited Then, treasured, the
purchaser goes into the market with
fully justified measure OF confidence.
"As result OF the demand created
by this years exhibitions many factories
are operating on an overtime production
basis to catch up with orders" ne said.

American Problem.

American Problem.
BALTIMORE. February ii Especially.

w. Galloway. operating vice president
of the Baltimore 81 Ohio Railroad, de-
clared In q speech here this week.
1.-THE most serious problem confront
ing the American public today Is the
menace Of the ineficient, careless and
reckless automobile driver. Greater re-
strictiOns are necessary IN the !: ....:,
OF licenses which permit people to
operate motor vehicles" Mr.. Galloway
said.
I'm some OF the States In which we
operate the only requirement asked Of
automobile drivers Is that they pur-
chase tag. With that they are
allowed to drive motor vehicles. many
OF which are as powerful and capable
OF Just as much speed as railroad
engines.
ut is also true of all accidents
IN the United States occurring on high
ways. or at least In the last 1850. 900
OF them covered by a recent report that
came to me, only 90 per cent occurred
at grade crossings" he said.
In Baltimore during the last five
years. 3l6 automobiles have been driven
through lowered crossing gates by reck-
less drivers. The fatalities in this city
have been surprisingly low. however,
ne said. because in that number OF
improper crossings three people have
died: Every day get reports that two
or three people have been injured or
Killed as a result of their machines
being hit BY trains of the Baltimore g.
ONO. and as many as three machines
crash into the sides Of our trains every
day, the same reports show" Mr.
Galloway said.

q fine paid by a motorist might be de-
Quoted as q business expense. where
at the time the expense was incurred

The A. A. A. points out that In no
case is the amount paid for an auto
mobile allowed as a deduction for ex.

entirely for business. In the case OF

Method of Determining.
How can motorist determine
whether or not he is entitled to the ad-
vantages set forth In the clause dealing
with deduction Of maintenance costs
for cars used wholly for business? On
this point the national motoring body
says:
when passenger automobile Is used

ordinary expenditures for maintenance
and repairs may be pro rated accord
Ing to use, and deducted. provided the
car is used chiefly In the pursuit OF q

The A. A. A. statement continues:
Contrary to general belief, the Fed
eral war excise tax Of 3 per cent
on the wholesale value of new cars !:
not deductible. The regulations Of the
bureau provide that taxes imposed upon
sales of automobiles by the manufac.
turers are not deductinle by the indi'
vidual purchaser. even though such
taxes are billed to him.
THE bureau has heretofore recog.
niZed no gain or loss when automobile:
used for either business or pleasure are
traded in on new cars. This point Is
now in the hands of the general coun.
sci of the Bureau of Internal Revenue

Deductions from the gross income
allowed car owners under the regula-
tions of the Bureau Of Internal Rev
enue on account of automobile owner

statement broadcast by the American
Automobile Association today.
First, the car owner may deduct from
his gross income all sums paid during
the calendar year in the form OF regis

sonal property taxes and municipai
taxes
Second. the gasoline tax may be de-
Quoted in all cases where 1t is con

Third. the interest on money bor-
rowed for the purchase OF an automo-

Where the car is used chiefly" or
more than so per cent for business
and incidentally for pleasure. the ex-
pense may be deducted on pro rata
basis.
Fifth. loss sustained by reason OF
damage to a passenger automobile while
being used for pleasure is deductible
under a recent decision handed down by
TIL Board of Tax Appeals. The loss. how

though 1t be used for pleasure purposes
constitutes permissible deduction from

AS a matter of recorded fact, this
creation of new beauty and adj
vanced mechanical excellence has
so startled and delighted the motor
world that it has been aptly chris
tened the Six of the Century.

is we'll above the $1,000 price. But
it is we'll below and that is one OF

SHORT-WAVE SPACE
TROUBLES EXPERTS.
Radio Engineers Seek to Pre-.
vent International Message
Interference.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TO prevent international interference
and possible disruption of communica-
tions. American radio engineers prob
ably will be compelled to seek the adop-
ton of one or series OF uniform widths
for short wave channels.
When the delegates of n countries at
the International io-Telegraph
Conference last Fall failed to stipulate
uniform measurement they left un-
solved a problem that now Is engaging
the attention of radio engineers. The
question of how great separation must
be made Is one that must be decided
soon by the Federal Radio Commission,
or its technical advisers. in the alloca-
ton of short waves.
Representatives of the Army and
Navy, who with other departmental
radio men are studying the Govern
ment'S needs. have been carrying on
unofficial conversations with the radio
leaders of foreign countries. Radio ON
cials of the French and other European
governments have been disposed TO fix
channel width narrower than that
advocated by American engineers.
Short wave signals, even those with
low power, are capable OF interference
over large territories. except In the
areas moderately near the tranSmltteT.
the American engineers declare. These
signals may cause little interference in
the country in which they originate,
but may skip to distant countries and
disrupt communication there unless
the frequencics are sufficiently sepa :
rated II is also pointed out that
the channels must be wide enough to
take care of the "wabblc" OF transmit
ters as we'll as the incXactness in
measurement OF frcquencics.
Recent Investigations. however. show
that the national standards of ire
oucncy in the United States and the
larger European countries agree suffi-
ciently we'll to insure against serious
interference providing the transmitting
stations are accurately adjusted and
the channels reasonably wide. The
Bureau of Standards has made several
comparisons with the national labora-
tories OF England, France. Italy Ger
many Canada and Japan. DR.. j. II
Dellinger. chief Of the radio section OF
the bureau, recently took to Europe a
temperature controlled pieZo -oscillator
containing two quartz plates which
were carefully calibrated according to
the American standards.

Radio Revision in Far West Praised
By Listeners and Broadcasters Alike

desert areas are dependent on the Coast
stations mad very few local broadcast
ers for their radio entertainment. These
sparsely settled regions are not receiving
good service and his chief problem Is to
improve conditions there, Mr.. Lafount
says.
Heterodynes between powerful sta
tions In the Middle West and East and
the lower powered stations on the Pa
cific Coast cause serious interference In
the Mountain States. Mr.. Lafount Is
opposed to stations having as great
power as $4,000 watts because their
signals interfere and drown out some OF
| the good smaller stations.
The new set-up was the first major
undertaking Of Commissioner Lafount
since taking Office few months age
and the first important change in the
| Far West ALLEGATIONS since his predeces-
sor, Col John F. Dill. was stricken with
fatal illness last Summer. Most Oi
