tendency in the automobile industry
should be toward a considerably in
creased volume of sales.
This brings one to the question as to
where a market for increased produc-
ton is to be found. Some Of this will
doubtless come from families which
find it feasible to own two or three au-
tomobiles instead of one. OF course,
there are a lot of people who do not
even vet own one automobile and 1t Is
to be regarded as a normal expectancy
that large number Of these will APP
preciate their lack and will become
customers Of this industry. 1t is estl-
mated that these represent probable
market of something over 1000, 900 new
buyers. This means that about 1000
900 cars produced in the United States
in 1929 must be sold to people VINO
wish to replace an old automobile with
q new one.
It is now estimated that the average
life of an automobile is about seven
years. 1t Is likely that the trend toward
lower prices, toward higher speeds, year
round use of automobiles all tend to
lower the average life Of an automobile.
On the other hand. the movement to
get better roads and servicing tends In
the opposite direction. It appears that
there is a replacement market for this
year of approximately 5000, 900 automo-
biles. This leaves about 100000 auto
mobiles which need to be sold to meet
a $5,000,000 production. The natural
market for these automobiles Is found
in foreign lands.
There is consequently a decided ten
dency toward intensifying the interest
in motoring in these foreign markets
While 1t may be possible to sell even as
many as 5000, 900 automobiles to Amer
leans a year, the hope OF bringing the
manufacture of automobiles UP to the
capacity of American factories is to be
found in a wide increase in foreign
sales. In this connection the tendency
is somewhat toward the erection by
American motor companies Of factories
in various foreign countries. This sort
of expansion is going on now IN Eng
land. France, Germany and some other
nations.
Better facilities for servicing auto
mobiles is a definite trend which the
motoring public is glad to see. Much
better roads as the technique Of high
way construction is improving, repre-
sents another definite trend. The in
creased use of automobiles by women
Is a conspicuous trend. The percentage
of women driving automobiles is steadi-
ly gaining. Consequently their influ-
ence in the designing and manufactur-
ing of motor vehicles is to be seen
more and more in the use of colorS and
the beauty Of design of automobile
bodies.

PLAN TODR|VE OUT
'GYP' GAS DEALERS
Association Members Say
Autoist Will Derive Benefit
From New Ethic Code.

The adoption Of a national code of
ethics by the gasoline industry toward
the motoring public, the chief benefit
of which will be to drive the "gyp''
dealer out of business, was character
ICED yesterday by the American Motor
lists Association as a step in the right
direction. The code becomes effective
this month and will affect All gasoline
dealers in the city and approximately
$50 dealers in nearby Maryland and
Virginia.
Motorists last year consumed over
11,000 100000 gallons of gasoline, or 80
per cent of the industry's output" the
associations statement points out.
THE primary purpose of the code,
which has been approved by the Fed
eral Trade Commission, is to improve
conditions in the gasoline industry.
The benefits the motorists derive from
its adoption are largely indirect.
THE gradual elimination of 'gyp' fill
ing stations and the assurance of better
equipped and more efficiently operated
service stations are three prime benz

HUMAN ELEMENT
IS CRASH FACTOR
Frailty of Driver to Blame for
Many Accidents, Despite
Safeguards.

A signboard 10 feet square, with the
big-lettered words Danger - Sharp
Curve" clearly outlined against a back
ground Of black and white stripes, is
placed in plain view along highway in
Iowa. Two people were recently placed
in a hospital because they didn't see
that warning.
This merely illustrates that In auto
mobile accident prevention chief con-
sideration must be given to the human
equation, personal element or whatever
other name can be applied to human
frailty.
Accidents Are Increasing.
State records show that IS per cent
or more of motor car accidents may
be attributed to car operators and that
from a tenth to third of the mishaps
are due to the negligence of pedestrians.
Automobile accidents are increasing,
taking the country as a whole. Car
usage is growing for two reasons: Five
thousand cars are added to those pres
ent every day and better roads and the
tendency toward motorization lead to
more intensive use of every motor car
Much can be done, of course, to cut
down the human factor in accidents.
Yet there is this, too, to be considered:
Highway facilities must be constructed
that will reduce to a minimum the pos
sibility Of human error in driving cars.
High-Speed Car to Stay.
Automobiles capable of high speeds
are, without doubt here to stay, unless
some faster means of transportation is
created. Laws cannot train man to be
better judge of speed or distance, and
so long as inadequate highway facili-
ties exist car accidents will occur
Fortunately, for most safe highway
facilities there Is dollars and cents
justification. Highway grade separa-
tons, whereby one road or street passes
over another at intersections, compen-
safe for their cost where traffic is heavy.
Pedestrian tunnels, which permit foot
traffic to pass safely and speedily under
busy thoroughfares, also are econom-
ically feasible. The same is true of rail-
road-crossing separations. of double
decked highways, Of wide streets and
roads.
Twenty-seven thousand people are
yearly dying in car accidents. That is
too many.

fits which will accrue to the motoring
public" declares Thomas j. Keefe,
general manager Of the association, in
commenting on the code.
Another phase of interest to the
motorist is the prohibition against gaso-
line stations charging other than the
posted gasoline prices. Rule II Of the
code requires that all retailers and
other operators serving consumers
through service stations, garages, curb
pumps or pumps located at bulk plants
shall conspicuously post at the place
from which delivery is made prices at
which gasoline. kerosene and motor oils
are sold. Rebates, concessions, gifts
and special inducements for the pur-
chase Of gasoline are forbidden. thus
assuring to all motorists a uniform
price.
1.-The motorist will hail with delight
the idea of seeing the 'gyp' dealer
driven out of business and of filling
stations adopting code of ethical prac-
tees" declares General Manager
Keefe. There has long been a need
for an improvement"

units, while in August approximately
$4,000 units were produced.
Sales in the field continue highly sat-
isfactory and no change is apparent in
the volume for the current week, as
compared with the previous period. AS
long as this most important factor re-
mains favorable to manufacturers, there
Is little likelihood of any startling
changes being instituted in the operat-
ing levels of plants. Retail sales in the
United States for the first eight months
OF 1929 were approximately SO per cent
greater than those in the corresponding
period last year. Low-priced cars in
general have furnished most OF the in
crease.
While there has been no slackening
OF operations by truck manufacturers,
output has steadied and settled down to
a more regular pace. The current weeks
production reveals almost no change.
Sales are also continuing at their usual
levels, with exports featuring the mar
ket's activity and large numbers of or
ders still coming in from the farmers.
Nothing of an encouraging nature
looms on the horizon of the tire indus
try to brighten the outlook. With the
peak of replacement buying passed and
the possibility of this market rising to
levels normally expected of 1t removed
for the remainder of the year, abnor-
mally heavy inventories assume a more
serious aspect, as original equipment or
ders continue to decline.
Curtailment of output continues at
nearly all factories and production I'M
doubtedly is due for still further re-
auctions. Prices. both of crude rubber
and retail tires, have shown practically
no change.

GREEN AND WHITE TAGS
FOR MARYLAND IN 1890
License Plates Are Being Made in
Penitentiary shop-350,000
Are Ordered.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, September binary
land automobile license tags for next
year will have green background with
white numerals and lettering.
The new plates are being manu-
featured in the shops of the Maryland
Penitentiary. Approximately 100000
tags have been ordered, to take care OF
the expected increase of automobiles IN
the State during the coming year.
AS usual, tag No. 10000 will be sent
to Gov. Ritchie. Requests for freak
license plates will not be complied with.
In past years as many as 500 autoists
have requested tags bearing numerals
of their own choosing. When possible
the tags were issued, but complications
arose when several chose the same num-
bers. The custom, it was said, also
added additional work for the clerical
force and In some instances caused a
nix-up Of records.

INCREASE In FATALITIES
DUE TO AUTO ACCIDENTS

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, September 21.-More
persons were killed in motor accidents
and there were more such accidents In
Baltimore during the first seven months
of this year than during the similar
period in 1923, according to statistics Of
the safety council.
Thus far this year there have been
1870 accidents in the city, with toll
of 81 dead and 2,510 injured. Last year,
during the first seven months. the record
was 7,438 accidents, "a deaths and 2,4lS
injuries.
