CHICAGO PLANS THREE
GRADE SEPARATIONS
Step Will Be JCity's Greatest Effort
to Put End to Traf-
fic Jams.

Something has taken place in the
highway world which definitely indi-
Gates that the automobile is to be
recognized as twentieth century ma
chine.
The Lincoln Park District of Chicago
has just adopted q bond issue which
will provide for the building of three
highway grade separations and mile
extension of two parallel 45-foot pave
ments on the outer drive to the north.
In simple terms, grade separation is
. bridge over another thoroughfare.
This step Is in itself a matter of fact
statement, but to those who realize
what that means in terms Of lessened
automobile congestion and injury and
death, IL Is one of the most important
highway actions yet taken.
This constitutes an ambitious under
taking, but the automobile in the city
constitutes a gigantic problem, prob
lem which requires an unlimited
amount of nerve to solve. Cities all
over the country are facing the same
dilemma, If such it can be called, but
there is only one thing to be done
attack the ailment as has Chicago.
The grade separation has already
proved Its worth In Chicago, Wayne
County, Michigan, and elsewhere. Engi-
neers have made estimates of the time
wasted at busy intersections and have
calculated that even in assigning a
small value to motorists time grade
separations will shortly pay Tor them
selves. Their figures, of course, do not
estimate the cost of deaths and injuries
and smashed cars.

larity "DoWn Under"

Although everything pertaining TO
the United States arouses the keenest
interest in Australia, the average Amer
lean appears TO- be surprisingly unir1-
formed about the great continent

Durance, manager Of the Australian OF
fee of an American automobile COM
pany at Sydney, who is now visiting
the Hudson Essex factory at Detroit.
American unfamiliarity with Aus
tralia is particularly surprising" says
Mr.. Durance, when one considers that
since the beginning of its national de-
velopment the commonwealth has pat
termed itself after the United States,
and many phases of its phenomenal
progress during the past half century
may be attributed to the influence of
borrowed American ideas.
Plan Largest Bridge.
Sydney, the largest Australian city,
with its population of 1880, 600, its sub
ways, its harbor bridge, which, when
completed, will be the largest single
span bridge in the world, is typically
plan of the new capital, Canberra, was
laid out along lines practically identi.
cal with that Of washington, D. C..
American enterprise is. probably
welcomed more heartily in the Antipo-
des than in any other part Of the world.
and the volume of Australian imports
from this country has mounted steadily
year after year until 1t now amounts
to q tremendous figure.
Practically 80 per cent of Australians
automobiles are of American n1anufac-
ture. Although the population Of Aus
tralia Is only $4,000 its area ID
greater than that of the United States
It Is country of great distances, and
the typical low-powered European car
Is not suited to Australian requirements.
The bodybuilding program, which Is
now well under way, will double the
present mileage Of hard-Surfaced roads
within the next 10 years and win GER
tainly bring about o tremendous in
crease IN the demand Tor motor cars.
u. S. Has Advantage.
Undoubtedly Australia is now enter
ing period Of vast development. The
whole commercial world realizes the In.
creasing value Of the Australasian mar
ket, and Europe is even now making
every effort to control It. At present
the United States enjoys an advan-
tageous position, which can easily be
maintained If American business will
/ only adopt . more sympathetic atti-
tude.
Australia Is essentially an agricul-
tural country. Il depends upon the
rest Of the world for its manufactured
goods, and its own prosperity Is entirely
dependent upon its agricultural exports.
There Is growing feeling that the
balance Of trade with the United States
Is becoming too one sided. American
exports to Australia amount to millions
OF pounds sterling annually, whereas
imports from Australia are almost neg
lgible. This country can probably
use much greater volume Of Aus
tralian products, especially wool and
dried fruits. Our dried fruit industry
Is assuming large proportions, and the
United States might well absorb q
considerable portion Of our output dur
ing seasons when the business Of Arneri-
can fruit growers would not be affected. -

MARYLAND MAKES PLANS
FOR TAG DISTRIBUTION
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The star.
BALTIMORE, November 23.4Appli-
cation cards for 1880 automobile license
tags will be mailed out on November
20, 1t was announced today at the Of
fee of e. Austin Baughman, commits
sioner of motor vehicles. The new
tags will have a green background with
white numerals.
In order to avoid the last-minute rush
of previous years, Commissioner Baugh-
man urges motorists TO fill out imme-
diately the applications and mail them
to his Office, accompanied by money
order covering the cost Of the license
and in addition 10 cents for postage.
AS fast as the applications are received
a special force of clerks Is to see to 1t
that the tags are sent out by return
mail. Last year license plates for the
coming year were permitted to be put
on automobiles on December Is. This
custom, 1t was said, probably will be
allowed again this year.
Requests for freak automobile license
plates will not be complied with, Com
missioner Baughman said. In past
years as many as 500 autoists have re-
quested tags bearing numerals of their
own choosing. sWhen possible the tags
were issued, but complications arose
when several chose the same numbers.
The custom also added additional work
for the clerical force and in some In
stances caused a rnix-up Of the rec
ords. AS usual however, tag No. 10000
will be sent to Gov. Albert G. Richie;

SPARK PLUG IMPORTANT
IN MODERN AUTOMOBILE

IN the modern automobile engine OF
today, the importance Of having the
spark plugs in first-class condition
cannot be overemphasized. Efficient
engine operation Is dependent upon
good ignition.
The spark plugs are equipped with
two electrodes. or poles, set in such a
manner that the electric current must
jump across a small gap from one to
the other. In making this jump, a
spark occurs It is this spark which
ignites the mixture of gasoline and air
in the combustion chamber OF the
cylinder.
A difference in the size Of the gap
between the two electrodes will affect
the type Of spark produced. 1t is.
therefore, important that this gap
should be inspected at least twice a
year and kept adjusted according 70
the car instruction book.
In addition to the spark plugs, the
entire ignition system should also be
checked, particular attention being paid
to the distributor timing and to the
condition and spacing OF the breaker
contact points.
Proper attention TO these simple but
Important adjustments will protect the
nnotorist from ignition troubie-ths
scu.ce Of most motoring ills.

CAUTION is ADVISED
IN BUYING USED CARS
How Shifty Horse Traders Were
Avoided During Past Genera
lions Pointed Out.

"Our shrewd fathers and grand
fathers seldom risked buying their
horses from the shifty itinerant horse
traders of their day." says NJ. L. Buck,
used car manager.
Instead they protected their invest
ments in transportation by purchasing
their horses from a reputable establish
ed horse dealer-one who was in busi-
ness to stay and who, even were he 60
inclined, could not afford to risk his
reputation by disappearing a horse
to one of his customers. Were he to
have done So he knew the word would
have been passed throughout the coun-
tryside. The resultant damage to fu-
ture business would have exceeded by
far the temporary advantage gained
in one shady deal.
To-day the same situation exists, eX-
cept that the mode of transportation
has changed We buy automobiles in
stead of horses. And If we are as
shrewd as our hard-headed ancestors,
we also will buy from established deal
ers. This, of course, is doubly true In
the buying of used cars whose sale even
more closely parallels the conditions
surrounding the sale Of horse few
decades ago.
1T is as true today as it was so years
ago that the individual from whom you
will receive the fairest deal and the
most lasting satisfaction when you seek
to buy the means Of transportation is
the man who is solidly established and
in business to stay"

AUTOMOBILE GLASS
BIG SAFETY FACTOR
Increase in Number Of Closed Cars
Raises Importance Of Difficult
Question.

Twenty-one per cent of injuries in
automobile accidents are /, due. either
wholly or partially, to broken glass and
therefore the kind of glass on the car
Is an important factor in safety, &C.
cording to George Z. Keneipp, manager
of the District of Columbia division Of
the American Automobile Association,
who based his statement on reports re-
ceiyed by the A. A. A. research depart
ment from leading hospitals in various
parts of the United States, showing the
causes for accidents treated.
while non-shatterable glass now
reduce this safety hazard" he con-
number of closed cars has made the
question Of broken glass an important
item in the Nations safety program"
In this connection Keneipp pointed
out that 8s.5 per cent Of all cars pro-
duced in 1928 were closed cars, as COM
pared to 1913 per cent 10 years ago;
therefore the question Of accidents from
glass has naturally become more Of a
national problem.
I'm many instances" the A. A. A.
club executive asserted, only minor
damage to the automobile will result In
injury to the occupants from shattered
glass. Many Of the accidents, especially
injuries to the face, can be avoided by
passengers in the car covering their
faces with their arms when a collision
seems certain. Careful driving, on the
other hand, continues the dominant
factor, especially in closed cars, and
forms the basis for safety.

.|NTERPRETSL LAW
ON COMPENSATION
Court Rules Widow of Motor
EmpIoye, Gas Victim, En-
titled to Benefits.

A unique decision, constituting the
Workman's Compensation Act Of Ne
braska and its relation to o motorist,
using his car for the benefit Of his
employer, has been handed down by the
Supreme Court Of Nebraska.
The case, reported by the legal de-
partment Of the American Motorists
Association, Is regarded by the aSsoci-
alton as one Of importance to hun
throughout the country who use their
automobiles in the course Of their en-
ployment. The decision Is Of wide
spread Importance, the A. M. A. points
out, because of the fact that A States,
and the District Of Columbia, now have
Workman's Compensation Acts, more
or less similar to the Nebraska act.
Killed While Repairing Car.
The case arose when q motorist was
killed while repairing his car. He was
found dead in his garage from carbon
monoxide poisoning. Several tools lay
at hand indicating that he had been
overcome while doing repair work, just
prior to leaving his home for his Of
fetal duties.
The employer claimed that the en-
ploye had not been requested to use
his car In connection with his daily
work and that no contract for the cars
use had ever been sanctioned. The en-
ployer further claimed that the employe
was not working for him at the time of
the death and that death did not arise
out Of employment.
Courts Ruling Cited.
The court held the evidence clear
that the employee had been using the
car for the benefit Of the employer,
and that he had gone to the garage
to get the car to perform q duty In line
with his work. It makes no difference,
the court declared. whether there was
an express or implied contract for the
use Of the car in the work.
Where the work is being done, for
the benefit Of the employer, where the
car Is used with his knowledge and
consent and where the employee is
killed or injured while using that in
struHnentality, it will be held that he
was about his masters business" the
court declared, in awarding the de-
ceased's widow $lS per week for $50
weeks.

SUSPENSION BRIDGE
HAS RECORD LENGTH
The Ambassador, Connecting De-

% Longest in the World.

The new Ambassador Bridge Is the
longest suspension bridge in the world
Its free span is 1850 feet long, 100 feet
longer than that of the hitherto longest
span In the world-on the Delaware
River Bridge connecting Philadelphia
and Camden. It is 255 feet longer than
the Brooklyn Bridge and 218 feet longer
than the span of the Bear Mountain
Bridge, across the Hudson.
The center of the span clears the
surface Of the Detroit River at height
Of 1S2 feet, which is II feet higher than
the clearance of the Delaware River
Bridge and of the bridges across the
East River at New York. The Am
baSsador Bridge was erected at a cost
Of over $22,500,000 and will handle
automotive and pedestrian traffic only.
Well over 100000 people attended the
dedication ceremonies. which we're made
an ofncial part Of the Armistice day
program at Detroit and of the Thanks
giving day celebration in Canada.
Speakers, headed by Gov. Fred w.
Green Of Michigan and the Hon. Charles
McCrea, minister of mines for Ontario,
characterized the bridge as another tie
between the throbbing, friendly life Of
two nations.

Actual construction Of the bridge
commenced May Z, 1927. and the struc-

months prior to the time limit in the
contract. Over $4,000 tons of struc-

so miles per hour.
The operator of the car was q pros-

the car was said to be capable of and
was doing so when q State police Of

Immediately after this the owner-dealer

Wants a Fair Break
At intersections.

Is there any way that notorist can
get "fair break" as a street car inter-
section controlled by a policeman? I
can see no reason why a street car Is
so often given preference over long
string of motor vehicles. OF course, I
realize that there are more people In
street car than in a group OF auto
mobiles waiting to proceed along their
way.
kind should be treated alike. Often
when street car is long way on or
at stop for the purpose OF taking on
passengers the policeman will hold up
a long line Of machines until the street
car finally gets across the intersection.
It seems q ridiculous policy for the
crossing policemen at street car line
intersections to be paid by the traction
companies. I have never heard Of such
q method employed in any other city.
Thank Heavens the traf1c light sig
mails show no partialityl j. G. 3.
Medical Profession Asked
TO Explain Enigma.
The medical profession should be
asked TO explain the psychological effect
the driver In front that you want TO
pass. I have invariably observed that
the effect is to irritate in some mys-
FERROUS manner the man at the wheel
of the front car so that he increases
his speed. and often short race follows.
It may be that the sound Of horn on
an approaching car involuntarily reacts
on the leg muscles, causing the driver
to step on the gas. It may be that the
average motorist Just naturally hates
to have anything pass him, and it may
be that some other cause can be
assigned. But whatever the cause may
be. 1t is an absurd and extremely foolish
one.
The same thing has occurred many
times to me both in town and out on
the country roads. A man is appar-
emily entirely satisfied to travel around
town at the maximum speed allowed by
