FINE AUTOS REQUIRE
CARE NOW AS OF OLD
Owners Lose Heavily by Assuming
Perfection Has Been Reached
in Cars.

The old story of an ounce Of preven-
ton being worth pound of cure holds
true in relationship to today's fine au-
tomobiles quite as much as 1t did in
connection with the less refined motor
cars of yesterday, which were far more
susceptible to all manner Of irritating
troubles.
AS pointed out by Rudolph Jose, local
automobile dealer, in former years the
motorist realized that unless he gave
his car the benefit of that ounce Of
prevention, and gave 1t frequently and
effectively, there just wouldn't be any
liable machines available In all price
classes, the owner neglects even essen
tial attention.
ut is true that today's automobile
doesn't need the pampering that its
ancestors demanded. It is true that
one can mishandle and misuse mod
ern automobile, and it will still keep on
running. But it won't do it forever,
and the owner who fails to give the
less frequent, but just as necessary,
ounce of prevention is simply storing
up trouble and expense for himself.
1.-THE maintenance departments see
the truth of these statements every day.
There isn't shop in washington that
right now isn't servicing its quota OF
cars that might not have needed such
drastic treatment had their owners
seen the wisdom of avoiding the ulti-
mate pound of cure by well timed pre-
ventive measures.
These things, the motorist will say.
are patent. That is true enough. But
| they are overlooked so often that the
annual repair bill, which is q direct re-
suit of negligence, reaches staggering
proportions, proving a distinct economic
waste.
1.-THE thoughtful automobile owner
viii remember the truth OF the proverb
and see to II that he Is not the victim
OF his own neglect"

new BOULEVARD LAW
REQUIRES MARKERS
Maryland Statute Not Enforceable
Until Signs Are Displayed,
Is Ruling.
Special Dispatch to The star.


BALTIMORE, April 20.-The "boule-
ward" law requiring vehicles to come to
stop before crossing or entering main
but it cannot be enforced until warning
markers have been installed, according
to ruling of Herbert Levy, assistant at
torney general.
According to Mr.. Levy, the section of
the law which requires all vehicles
entering paved or improved highway
from lateral roads, private rights Of
way and from unimproved roads to
stop went into effect with the attach
ment of the governors signature to the
bill last week, although warning signs
have not been placed at these intersec-
tons by the State Roads Commission
Another clause of the bill which is
row in effect requires all motorists to
keep to the right Of the center Of the
road at all times, with the exception
Of when they are passing another We
hicle travelling in the same direction.
The law which prohibits motorists
from following fire apparatus has been
changed by the new law to the effect
that motorists shall not follow closer
than 600 feet behind fire and police
apparatus or ambulanceS and shall not
park nearer than 600 feet to such ap-
paratus while standing on official bust
ness. This portion of the law is now
In effect, Mr.. Levy said.
The boulevard law requires the State
Roads Commission to place the des-
ignating markers on the State high
ways and the police to perform the
same task within city limits.

PARKING LACK SEEN
STREET CARS LOSS
Economist Says Too Many Restric-
tons on Autos Works Against
Trolleys.
specIal pi,patctl 70 rhe star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, April 20. TOO much
prohibition of automobile parking in
the crowded cities today works as much
against the street car companies back
ing the no-parking ordinances as It
does against the luckleSs motorist who
is told to abandon his usual parking
place without being given any SUCCESS
ton as to where he can leave his car.
Leslie VickerS, economist of the
American Electric Railway Association,
SO stated In an address recently before
the transportation group of the Mary
land Utilities Association in convention
at the Emerson Hotel.
Mr.. VickerS stressed the problems
now besetting the street transportation
man and discussed the planning and
building problems that will come be-
fore the utilities men ofsthe future.
The lack of space to widen the streets
CT the preSent-day metropolis would
eventually lead to the building Of multi
level streets, Mr. Leslie predicted. In
these streets the car tracks would be
placed close to the sidewalks to give
easy access to the cars by riders who
could use them without being given
glimpse of heaven" by careless mo-
florists. The additional levels would be
turned over to other traffic and large
buildings would be erected for car-park-
ing space only. A new era Of co-opera-
ton between the motorist, the pedes-
TRAN and the street-car operator would
be achieved, he added.

LIABILITY TESTED
FOR W|FE'S DRIVING
Question Raised in Court as
to Husbands Responsible.
ity in Negligence.
BY HARVEY L. COBB.
General Counsel, American Motorists'
AsSociation.l


A husbands responsibility for his
wifes negligent action In operating a
car has recently been raised In the
District Supreme Court. where the hus-
band was made g. defendant In q $l0.-
900 suit.
The question specifically to be decided
at the trial is whether a husband Is
liable for his wife's negligent operation
of his car.
Under the Moody VS.. Stephens case.
decided on demurrer. February 5.
1927, the District Supreme Court. under
the family-car doctrine, held that o
father is responsible for the acts of his
son in the operation of the family car.
The plaintiff in the present case relies
largely on the Stephens case to sustain
the husbands liability.
Law of Agency Clear.
While the authorities are not uni
form. the law of agency is clear that the
marital relationship alone is not suf-
ficient ground for recovery against q
husband because of the negligence of
his wife in operating his automobile.
To establish such liability 1t must
be proved that the negligent act of the
wife was committed in the furtherance
Of her husbands business or In the
execution Of his orders.
Stated in another way. to bind o
husband for his wife's torts the rela-
tionship of principal and agent. or
master and servant. between them must
be shown. This is primarily a question
Of fact for the jury to decide under
proper instructions of the trial Judge
expounding the law of agency.
Head of Family
Under the so-called dangerous In
strument act" there is growing tend
ency on the part of the courts to hold
a husband or father responsible where
members of his family operate a car
for pleasure of the family. This is on
the theory that an automobile Is q
dangerous instrument and that the
head of family must be responsible
when he purchases an automobile for
the use of his family. In such cases,
however. the courts still hold to the
theory Of agency and require showing
that the wife was acting as the agent
of the husband. or at least was on
some mission for the joint benefit Of
the couple at the time the accident
happened.
For the District Of Columbia, at
the present time. however. the law is
well established that q father can be
held responsible when he provides q
car to be used by his family, when
being used on business or pleasure Of
the family.
