FAILURE TO WATCH
INSTRUMENTS COSTLY
Gauges Inform Driver What Is
Going on With Regard to
Basic Features.

His failure to watch the instrument
board is one of the factors that initiates
against the motorists reduction OF re-
pair and upkeep bills to still lower
levels. This point Is made by Rudolph
Jose, local motor car dealer, who de-
ciares that the trend toward giving the
car buyer more instruments, and those
that are easier to read, is due to the
recognition on the part of the car build
er that these can contribute Important
ly to better upkeep.
In support of this point, Mr.. Jose
cites two of the most recent additions
TO the automobiles instrument board
the motor heat Indicator and the gas
oline gauge. They have come to take
their places with the oil pressure gauge,
the speedometer, and the ammeter on
nearly every car, he says, because they
have definite value in informing the
driver what is going on with regard to
Two basic features of the car.
Many motorists" says Mr.. Jose,
have wondered why the motormeter on
the radiator was SO largely displaced
after 1t had become almost universal.
The answer Is that the motor heat In
dlcator Is more accurate device In in
dicating engine temperature Taking the
heat OF the water right out of the en-
CINE block Is more accurate than maxi
ing record of the temperature of the
water in the top of the radiator.
1.-THE warning of the dangers of over
heating Is transmitted more quickly. If
the driver watches the heat indicator
fore 1t actually is upon him. If he does
not, he cannot blame the manufacturer
for having given him no warning de-
vice"

DETROIT, Mich. May 25.--Virtually
capacity production is continuing in the
automobile plants of the Michigan dis
trict. Chief executives say there Is no
indication of slow-up, although GER
tain companies which have been Fore
ing the output of cars are prepared
for slackening should 1t set in during
June.
Under modern conditions Of intense
competition and close figuring OF cost
and profits. overproduction is some
thing to be feared. because 1t means
that finished cars either must be car
ried along as stock or disposed OF below
list price. The unwritten code by
which automobile manufacturing now
Is governed has as its first law Keep
your inventory moving"
To let either materials or finished
cars accumulate or pile up at any point
before the sale to the consumer means
an economic loss. Therefore every
factory keeps a close check on the rate
at which its cars are selling nationally,
the size of stocks dealers carry, both
of new and used cars, and any unusual
business condition that may affect de-
mapd for cars in certain localities.
Manufacturing schedules are based on
this data and slide up or down, &C.
cording to requirements shown in re-
ports to the factory.

SCATTERED LIGHTS
HELD TRAFFIC BAR
Street Parking Also Hazard
to All, Automobile Maker
Declares.

Traffic lights, good in themselves, are
a hindrance to traffic movement when
scattered Unfortunately at street
corners.
Street parking constitutes hazard
not only to the nlotorist, but to the Pc
destrian and property owner as well,
and hampers all effective control and
movement of traffic.
Parking bans constitute no problem
regarding the disposition Of cars, for
experience has proved that wherever
such bans are in effect and rigidly en-
forced ample interior parking facilities
rapidly are provided by private enter
prise.
Fl. H. Franklin, president in the auto
motive field of manufacturers, strongly
emphasized these three points recently
in a discussion of problems confronting
the automotive industry.
Traffic Control Study Needed.
Control of traffic as we'll as control
of markets must be studied by automo-
bile manufacturers in the interests of
their own business and that of the gen.
eral public Mr.. Franklin said. THE
automobile is essentially an instrument
for rapid movement. 1t encourages the

ing up of neighborhood centers in re-

becomes more thoroughly advanced in
the era of peace.
Whether in peace or in war, the auto
mobile can be depended upon as an
patriotic duty. AS the Nation plans to
observe Memorial day it will be found
that the automobile is the big factor In
this observance. It will also be found
that the automobile industry in its
operation is helping to establish the
situation which makes for peace and
prosperity throughout the world by d.
minishing the possibility of future mill
tary struggles.

PLAN SOUGHT TO PUT
NEW LAWS INTO EFFECT
Maryland Requires Special Tags
for Secondhand Auto Dealers
to Increase Privileges.

to Increase Privileges.
Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
BALTIMORE, May 25.-Col. Il.
Austin Baughman, commissioner Of
motor vehicles, and his staff are work
ing in an effort to perfect q plan
whereby two laws passed by the recent
Legislature may be put In effect by
June l, as required by the bill.
The laws require that special tags
shall be issued to dealers In second
hand automobiles that will give them
some of the privileges now enjoyed by
regular dealers. The other law re-
quires that certificates of convenience
be issued to motorists who are in the
habit OF transporting workers to and
from their employment.
The latter law came into effect after
a bus lobby started to work in Annap-
oils, protesting against men who work
In large industrial plants carrying their
fellow workers to the plant and accept
ing money from them to help pay for
the gas. The new certificates will give
this privilege. AS yet the certificates
have not been designed, but it will
probably take the form of a small tag
to go under the regular license plate
according to Col. Baughman.
The other law was passed when deal
erS in secondhand cars asked for the
same privilege as the regular dealers
to sell machine with dealers tags on
1t, that may be used until the owner
obtains his own license plates.

mote sections, and more efficient
utilization of land. but for all Of this
business itself is and always Will be
more or less crowded and centralized.
ITO accommodate the great number
of business men and the criss-cross OF
business traffic that daily cumbers the
downtown sections of all cities we must
eliminate curb parking. Chicago, De-
troit, Los Angeles and other big CEN
tiers have done so and found that 1t ex-
pedites traffic and benefits mercantile
trade as we'll. In addition, 1t is great
safeguard to life and property In con-
gested districts.
"All of these cities have found like
wise that when parking bans went into
effect parking garages have been built
rapidly enough to house all the cars
which remain in the downtown sections.
Building Space Could Be Ordered.
Further guarantee against future
trouble could be secured, of course, by
incorporating in the building code of all
cities a provision which will require
downtown office buildings or apartment
houses to include as an integral part OF
their construction, either in the base
ment or in the core of the building
itself, space sufficient for the cars OF the
occupants of such buildings.
with downtown congestion light.
ened by such procedure, the building Of
boulevards and other means Of facili-
tating approach to the central sections
Of the city could be considered.
Personally, feel that there is too
great a tendency toward indistcriminate
scattering of Stop-and-go lights at
crossings. In some places they are alb
solutely essential, of course. In others,
they can be dispensed with during all
but few hours of the day, while at
others, and believe these are
in the majority, the use of boulevard
stops permit much more rapid travel.
At really congested corners the traffic
officer is the far most effective means
of control, for he can straighten out
jams and move traffic as the circum-
stances require, without regard to
rhythmic action of the lights"

were greatly relieved. Instead Of hav-
ing to endure the tortures which often
prevailed In the Civil War when the
wounded had to be carried to dressing
stations or hospital centers by means
of slowly moving wagons, fast-runntng
motor ambulances are now able to
transport the wounded In the quickest
possible fashion from the scene of bat
tie to places where first aid and medi-
cal attention can be supplied. This, OF
course, represents enormous saving OF
life, and undoubtedly many now healthy
citizens who were members of the Ex-
peditionary Force during the World
War owe their present state of being
to the automobile.
The automobile, however, Is primarily
an instrument of peace, and is devoted
in the main to the peaceful pursuits
of life and to the happiness of the
people who are following these pursuits.
Throughout many sections of the United
States Memorial day will find families
using the automobile to help them OBJ
serve this holiday. They have been
using motor vehicle of one kind or
another during the last few weeks to
speed blowing, planting and other work
related to the soil, and they have been
using the automobile for recreational
purposes, contributive factor to a
more generally happy existence in the
rural sections.
Memorial day will find many people
living in suburban communities and
cities who also find the automobile in
dispensable in their enjoyment of this
holiday. as we'll as in the general pur-
suits of their daily lives on work days.
AS an instrument of peace the automo-
bile has contributed much toward the
prosperity of the country and has given
work to many. The pay received for
this work has enabled many to own
their own cars, and this in turn has
helped to keep the automobile factories
running to capacity and creating OPP
portunities for work. This circle keeps
broadening out as the country becomes
more prosperous, as it gets farther away

in the construction and uses of the mo-

EDUCATION NEEDED
TO IMPROVE DRIVING
Maryland Motor Vehicle Commits
sioner Blames Most Accidents
to Carelessness.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


BALTIMORE, May 25.-Education,
much of which must, of necessity, be OF
the self-administered type, is badly
needed, in the opinion of Motor Vehicle
Commissioner z. Austin Baughman, to
improve the type of driving of large
block of motorists who do not feel
themselves either dangerous operators
or regular violators Of the law.
It is the careless driver, and the
driver who, through lack of observation
and Judgment Is guilty of dangerous
miscalculations in the operation of a
car, who contributes the majority Of
the accidents occurring daily on the
highways of the Nation, according to
Commissioner Baughman.
Commissioner Baughman points out
that recent survey, of comprehensive
and representative type, shows that fall
ure to give the right of way leads as
a cause of accidents. At the same time,
this survey showed miscalculation on
the part of operators to come next, with
inattention as a close third in accident
cauSation. Thirteen per cent of the
accidents investigated were due to in
attention, Is per cent were caused by
miscalculation and 1853 per cent were
the result of failing to give the right
of way. Skidding holds fourth place
with percentage of 8.6 per cent.
when it is taken into consideration
that right of way cases are, in many
instances, due to miscalculation and
inattention, it will be seen what ire
mendous toll of accidents results from
these two causes" says the commits
sioner. "Inattention is only another
term for carelessness, in a great many
instances. At the same time, miscal-
culation is often form of carelessness
if not making an honest effort in
learning to Judge distances, traffic haz-
ards, etc. In view of these facts, it is
obvious that drivers who are not at
heart potential criminals, are, never
theless, responsible for vast majority
of the accidents occurring daily on the
highways of the country.

From time to time he in tends to submit reports to the sen ate, as each phase of the investiga- tion is completed, just as he did in the case of Senator Bingham of Connecticut. and his employment of an official of the Connecticut Manu- facturers' association to advise hitl on tariff questions.
 Already there are indications that the Bingham report. which aroused several senators to severe denun citation of the incident, will be use | as a major argument in general at. i tack on the industrial rate sched ulos of the tariff measure. 1 In the face of criticism already on the record and more expected in the near future, Bingham main tained q consistent silence on the episode until today, since he ap- peared before the committee to give his version of the case.
