Tail Lights
BY SWEDE SWANSON

If every automobile along a
crowded thoroughfare kept going in
straight course, traffic would be
speeded Is per cent and the capacity
of the street would be increased pro-
portionately.
But they don't do it, points out
Miller McClintock, famous traffic
authority. Drivers who are in a
hurry squirm in from one traffic
lane to another and back again.
They cut corners to shorten their
turns few feet. They crowd over
to the left of the road awaiting the
green light, and SO keep others COM
ing in the opposite direction from
making Roadway.
What can be done about this is
still problematical. Efforts have
been made in various cities to keep
motorists running along one course
by dividing the main arteries into
lanes. with the use of white paint.
This has had some psychological eff
feet. But still drivers cut in and
out, making little Roadway for them
selves and keeping others from TAX
ing straight course.
There's danger in this practice,
too. If only for this reason, police
authoity should be brought to bear
on the snake drivers. A few arrests
might stop the practice.
Where rims are of the side ring
type it is often matter of con-

DUESENBERC'S
QUALITY CAR is
NEARLY READY
Months of Experiment De-
voted to Building Finest
Automobile.

More than a year ago, when E. l..
Cord and associates purchased the
Duesenberg Motors Company, he
gave as his reason for purchase a
desire to build the worlds finest
motor car in America. At that time
Fred S. Duesenberg, world renowned
engineer and vice president of Dues
enberg, Inc, had developed a new
motor.
1t was revolutionary in design and
performance and it was the pre-
dominating influence in President
Cords interest in the company.
With this new motor as a neucleus
it would be easy to make America
the home of the finest motor car
as we'll as those built in largest
quantities. A few days ago Mr.. Cord
was asked regarding the progress
of his plans and had the following
to say:
During the intervening months
many motors and many autono-
bileS have been built at the Indian
apolis factory and the new DueSen-
bergs have been driven many thou
sands Of miles on Speedway and
country road, over desert and noun
tain, during hottest summer and
zero winter.
MANY problems we're met and
mastered by corps of learned en-
gineerS headed by the master Dues
enberg. Unheard of power and speed
made necessary the development of
new carburetors, ignition units, piS-
tons, in fact every part had to excel
all predecessors to qualify for this
super automobile.
"Clever artists and prominent de-
Signers from all over the world were
consulted with regard to individual
appearance and most luxurious
bodies. Competent metallurgistS per-
fected formulas to insure large mar
gins of safety. Rubber engineers
designed tires to Withstand accelera-
ton and speed unknown until the
advent of this new Duesenberg.
"And now" continues President
Cord, Eve have the perfect motor
car, more powerful. more speed, in
slant acceleration, luxurious, differ
ent, eXcelling all others.
1--WE are busy getting delivery on
material, rearranging our factory to
insure accurate workmanship and
making ready for production. In a
very few weeks we will place before
those who appreciate the best in
life, the motor carriage they always
have wished for"

removing the rim from the wheel.
The side ring is pried off after the
air is let out of the tire. the tire and
tube then coming off with little diff
f1culty.
Most tire repair men remove and
mount tires in this way where rims
are of the side ring type 1t seems
to save time, but frequently this
proves to be false economy.
In order to raise the tire and tube
to the rim it is customary to use
prying tools which are apt to be
sharp. This short cut" often re-
suits in cutting hole in the tube on
the side next to the rim.
These are sometimes referred to
as mystery punctures." The truth
is they're the waste that follows
haste.

Tire MILEAGE
DECREASED IN
RECENT YEARS
Cause Is Laid to Changed
Driving Conditions by
A. A. A. Heads.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Al-
though the automobile tire has
undergone constant improvement,
both as to fabric and structure in
recent years, tremendous changes
i'll driving conditions have greatly
decreased the average mileage OBJ
tanned, according to the American
Automobile Association
This fact was cited today by the
national motoring body as an adj
ditional reason for steps by the Fed
eral Government to guard against
foreign rubber monopoly.
The facts cited by the A. A. A..
are based on the records of the
emergency road service departments
of its 500 motor clubs throughout
the United States and Canada.
These records show that motorists
who formerly obtained from $4,000
to 10000 miles from tires now
secure only from 1000 to 10000
miles.
The salient features of the
| changed driving conditions that
have lowered tire mileage, in many
cases as much as one-half, are
summarized as follows:
/. High-powered engines that
permit greater speed.
.. Increased traffic, necessitating
more stops and starts.
3. Improved acceleration, tending
toward tire abuse.
4. More powerful brakes that
grind off treads.
5. Smaller diameter wheels, neces-
stating more frequent road contact
for tires.
8. Improved roads, permitting
higher average speeds.
The A. A. A. statement continues:
Greater mileage can be secured
from the present day tire. Those
who maintain recommended in
flation presSures, who use judgment
in starting and stopping, and who
keep the wheels of the car in proper
alignment will undoubtedly obtain
satisfactory mileage. In 1928 the
driver or every car Will largely de-
termine his own tire costs.
1T is estimated that the average
speed on the open road is from ten
to fifteen miles per hour higher
than two years ago. At continued
high speed, tire slippage is much
greater, due to Swerving and
axle bounce resulting from road
inequalities. Therefore it is I'M
portant for tire users tc realize that
tire mileage is decreased as the
speed is increased.
STEADY increase in the number Of
cars registered has also had a
telling effect and has resulted in
greatly congested streets, with a
resultant gain in the number of
starts and stops. as signals and
traffic lights are obeyed.

Shipments Of Jordan cars from

Jordan Motor Car Company.
Jordan, who has visited nearly all
of the large distributing centers

that dealers stocks are lower than
usual at this time of year.
The used car situation, which
was a problem last fall, has eased
off substantially since the announce
ment of new models and new
prices" says Jordan.
Labor conditions are reported to
be much better than they were six
months ago and money is circulating
much more freely in retail channels.

PARKWAY SEA WALL
BUILDING ORDERED
$50, 600 Allotted for Section
Located on Banks of the
Potomac.

Construction of another section oil
the foundation for the sea wall In Rock
Greek and Potomac Parkway. lying
along the banks Of the Potomac River
will be started this year with funds
provided by Congress. Lieut.. Col u. S.
| Grant, Sd, director of the Office of
Public Buildings and Public Parks of
the National Capital. announces that
| SOC, 900 OF park maintenance funds will
be allotted for this purpose.
| This amount will do the work on
about 800 or 400 feet this year. It will
be only sufficient for putting in this
amount of riprap foundation, but will
not permit of construction of any part
| of the stone wall above the mean tide
livels. While it will permit the carry
| ing of the sea wall past the point which
has been selected for the site of the
Titanic Memorial, it was pointed out
that while the foundation would be
protected from the erosion f; m the
ordinary water levels of the river, it Is
not considered wise to permit the plac-
ing of the finished memorial on the
site until after the upper part of the
sea wall is completed.
Future Overflow Feared.
There is fear that If the memorial
were to be placed after the construc-
ton of the sea wall foundation there
might be a period of high water which
would overflow the foundation walls and
undermine the memorial
The appropriation bill allowed this
year $275,000 for ordinary care and
maintenance In the parks and out of
this viii come the money for building
some of the sea wall, an appropriation
for the completion of which has been
sought of Congress for several years.
In addition to this amount $4,000
will be used In increasing the sports
facilities In the parks, $1,000 win be
used for the building of minor structures
and $1,000 will be used In the tourist
camp In East Potomac Park.
With the use Of the money on the
sea wall this year, it is believed more
of 1t can be constructed than would
have been possible heretofore, Col.
Grant said, because stone is much
cheaper this year. Actual figures have
not yet been compiled to show the exact
amount Of foundation wall that can be
laid, but this viii be taken up later in
the Summer, when preparations are
being made to let the contract.
Other improvements Outlined.
More improvements are to be made
on the south end of Meridian Hill Park
this year, 100000 having been allotted
for this purpose. Details OF this i'm
provement have not yet been worked
out. An additional $4,000 alsi is to be
spent this year in AnacoStia Park.
Sherman Circle, at the intersection
Of Illinois and Arkansas avenues and
Decatur street, is to have considerable
work done this year With $4,000
allotted to this project, a number of
concrete walks win be laid across the
circle, as now is being done at Grant
Circle, at the intersection of Kansas
and Illinois avenues and Varnum street.
This latter work is under way at the
present time.
