Chinese Pay Truck
Drivers Bonus to
Keep Down Repairs

Paying a monthly bonus Of $40
or SIS to drivers who keep their
trucks out of the shop has proved
to be very successful way of keep
ing down repairs for feet owners in
China" states s. Fitzpatrick, expert
manager of a motor truck company.
Eager to get this extra money,
the truck driver handles his vehicle
with greater care and makes neces-
sary minor repairs himself, instead
of taking 1t to the shop.
This system of keeping down
truck repairs to a minimum was
suggested to truck owners by an
age-old Chinese custom practiced In
the medical profession. Since time
immemorial, the Chinese business
man has been accustomed to pay
his family physician a certain sum
each month for keeping him well.
payment stops when he falls ILL.,
Ingenious truck owners in China
who, like truck owners the world
over, were plagued with small avoid
able repair bills, saw practical use
in this system. AS a result, the
truck driver is induced to handle
his vehicle with greater care and to
take a personal interest in his en-
ployer's property"

TRAFFIC SURVEY
PROGRESS MADE
Research Plans Uniform Code
in Statewide InVeSti-
cation.

Rapid progress in a statewide trafflc
survey on which a new uniform trafnc
code for Massachusetts, will be based Is
reported by the Albert Russell Erskine
Bureau for Street Traffic Research,
which has been engaged by the MaSsa-
chusetts department of public works
to~develop a uniform code for all cities
and towns in the State.
In making provision for this survey
Massachusetts has become the first
State in the country to coordinate
trafic-control activities and establish
logical uniformity of regulation based
on sound engineering principles.
The work of the ErSkine Bureau,
which Is endowed In Harvard University.
will be directed to three main purposes
in the survey. Primarily its task Is to
eliminate confusion TO the motoring
public through the establishment OF
basic uniformity in the signs, signals
and trafic-control devices used by the
State, cities and towns.
The ErSkine Bureau also plans to de-
velop the maximum safety and conven-
ience of traffic movement on State high
way routes within cities and towns by
preventing unnecessary obstruction OF
such routes by improperly placed and
operated control devices and by protect
ing them from dangerous interference
of cross traffic by application where
necessary of the boulevard stop rule.
The final stage of the work is regard
ed by traffic experts as one of the most
important aspects of the whole problem
of traffic control and simplifcation. In
providing for the survey the special act
passed by the Legislature authorized the
creation of a responsible traffic engi-
neering agency in the department Of
public works capable of cooperating
with local officials in developing safe
and uniform methods of traffic control
and administration.
The many surveys conducted by the
| Erskine Bureau have shown that such
an agency is essential in States and
large cities to keep pace with the rap
| idly changing conditions and require
mentS of traffic flow. In Boston, Chi
cago, San Francisco. Los Angeles and
other cities where the ErSkine Bureau
has made intensive engineering surveys
Of traffic ills and designed new traffic
codes. it has always recommended the
establishment of competent engineer
| ing authority to deal with this impor-
tant phase of the traffic problem.
The present stage Of the survey, which
Is being pushed as rapidly as possible
consists in the analysis of detailed re-
| ports on trafhc-control activities from
every city and town in the State From
this analysis the bureau expects to Sc
cure an accurate picture of existing
conditions all over the State.
On the basis of this information, cou-
pied with the bureaus experience in It's
many municipal surveys, bureau Off
cials expect to develop code that viii
be acceptable to all cities and towns ir
| the State The code should be read
about the first of the year.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, october 27.-Gov. Al
bert c. Ritchie of Maryland has re-
ceived an ornate and impressive looking
letter demanding that the State of
Maryland Immediately stop its practice
of titling automobiles. That practice,
said the letter writer, is the patented
right and privilege of the Automobile
Abstract & Title Co. of Detroit
The missive was signed Cecil L. Sny-
der, trustee of the Automobile Abstract
& Title Co." Mr.. Snyder set forth that
the company patented the titling of au-
tomobiles IN August, 1922, and the
States now titling cars are infringing
on the patent rights.
"It has caused me to lose $4,000 ,000,-
O00," Mr.. Snyder explained.
Further, the governor, as the chief
officer of the State, was notified and
ordered" in the letter to stop the State
at once from titling cars. If the State
doesn't stop, the communication
warned, an injunction suit will be
started
The governor filed the letter away.

Evidence is to be found on every

With 800 miles of first-clasS pavement

that Iowa will have added total OF

EXPORTS FEATURING
AUTO TRADE SURVEY
Leaders in Industry Say Foreign
Demand for American Cars Is
Consistently Increasing.

Automobile leaders at this time are
paying special heed in their surveys OF
1929 market trends to the export as
poets of the industry, conscious OF the
fact that overseas trade has been grow
ing consistently, until it stands today
third in the list of American exports
with valuation of $406,000,000.
This is regarded as significant, COM
ing as it does with the industry entered
upon the final quarter of what promises
to be the greatest year in the history
of the domestic market, with no de-
crease in home demand expected dur
ing 1929
Far from viewing with complacency
the gigantic forward strides made in
foreign markets since 1921, the consen-
sus of expert opinion adhereS to the
view that the export business is still an
infant-a giant infant which promises
to achieve a mighty growth. Rehabili-
tation of Europe, the betterment of road
conditions all over the world, the estab-
lshment of American credit systems
abroad and the continuous improvement
of American manufacturing methods
are among the reasons assigned for a
view of the foreign market that Is de-
cidedly optimistic.
Last week H. j. Klingler, general sales
manager in the automotive field, issued
a statement in which he predicted that
America will be exporting 100000 cars
annually within the next few years. Mr..
Klingler made this prediction fully
aware that the total number of Ameri-
can cars shipped abroad for sale in 1927
was 460,305. and cognizant, too, of the
fact that foreign trade barriers are not
likely ever to be obliterated.
Explaining his forecast, he said: "One
million American-made cars will be
shipped overseas and sold in the next
few years. Today there are upward of
29, $685. ATS motor vehicles in the world,
and of this number 23,000,000 are in use
in the United States. I feel that this
is altogether out of proportion. The
United States has only about onestwen-
tieth of the worlds population and only
a fraction of its habitable land. Yet it
owns 80 per cent of all the motor We
hicles in the world"

O,OOO,OOO Alcohol
Cost to Motorists
During This Winter

Thirty million gallons of alcohol
or more than one-third the entire
output of the United States will be
used by water-cooled automobiles
during the coming Winter, it was
declared this week at the annual
meeting of the Industrial Alchol In
Stitute at Chicago. The report OF
the institute did not take into con-
sideration that klycerin and other
compounds used by water-cooled
cars during cold weather reach an
additional volume from IS per cent
to so per cent of alcohol used.
With alcohol averaging one dol
lar a gallon, it is readily seen that
owners of water-cooled motor cars
will spend $30,000,000. Assuming
that users of other anti-freezing
compounds spend an equal amount,
the total expenditure for radiator
solutions will total approximately
$60,000,000.

Swedish Bus Traffic Gains.

Rapid development of motor bus
traffic in Sweden is indicated by recent

country has 5000 licensed motor busses
running daily over 1900 different routes.
The combined length of the routes COW

by an almost negligible surface repair
charge. Iowa reports that in 1927

at an average per mile cost of only $247
Such facts as these are giving the
motoring world, which includes just
about everybody in one way or another

utility, dependability and economy.

Of Corinto, communication by auto
mobile truck was extended to Ocotal,

Heretofore Ocotal could only be
reached by ox-carts and pack trains,
both slow and hazardous methods of
communication because of the posi-

jungle country, and by airplane.
A report was current in the capt.

mile ahead, frantically waving his
coat. The speeding train came to a
stop within few feet of the tramp.
Investigation revealed that one Of
the rails had become loosened. Train
