TIRE WEAR INCREASED
BY STOP AND GO SIGNS

Trafic lights have brought added
highway safety to millions of motorists.
But these signals take their toll on
tires.
Every time car is started, certain
amount of energy Is required to move
its weight from standing to any given
speed. When the car is stopped this
energy is again brought into play in
about the same amount. This energy
must be consumed by the tires and
naturally the more starts and stops they
go through, the faster they must wear.
In one test car stopped four times
in each mile without sliding the wheels
and accelerated to 35 miles per hour as
soon as possible after the complete
stop. This car wore the tire tread
through half of the design in just a
little over 100 miles. This same car,
with new tires, stopped every half mile
or twice in each mile and accelerated
to 35 miles per hour. 1t resulted in the
same tread wear in about 1000 miles.
This abuse can be modified, say tire
men, by letting the car stop gradually
and by starting without so much dash
and vigor. The traffic lights are oper-'
ated by a clock and the race to beat
them is often futile. So with a rea-
sonable rate of speed that will catch
them in succession, more progress will
be made with less wear and tear on the
tires

BEST METHODS OF TOURING
FOREIGN NATIONS is OUTLINED
Traveller Is Advised to Take Own Car If
Planning 20 Cover More Than 1000
Miles on Trip Abroad.

Italy, Spain, Norway, Sweden, Denmark,
Czechoslovakia, Finland, Poland, Ru-
mania and Luexemburg. Some countries
are not included, but customs documents
can be obtained for most of these by
paying a small fee. These documents
as rule allow person to tour in any
country for a period of at least one
year. Plenty of road maps and tour
lists guides are available for convent
entity getting by from place to place. A
deposit of money Is required when re
ceiving the customs documents, which
is refunded upon the return of these
same documents correctly vised. In
| surance covering fire, theft and acci-
dent can be secured at a reasonable
rate. These policies can be taken out
for three months, and cover property
damaged and public liability for an un-
limited amount, including legal ex-
penses.
It should be unnecessary to say that
before an automobile is shipped 1t
should be gone over by a competent
mechanic and put in first-class condi-
tion. Motorists should see to it that
the tires are sufficiently new to give
reasonable service, and two spare tires
in good condition should be taken along.
In regard to hiring an automobile in
Europe this depends upon what kind
of trip is to be taken. If it Is to be
extended, contract may be made
covering the use of the automobile and
everything that goes with it, including
the pay Of a competent chauffeur. in
making such contracts, however, the
traveller should be certain that he un-
derstands all the details and that there
will be no misunderstanding as to what
is included in the contract. The idea
Of purchasing an automobile in Europe
is the least desirable plan, and is not to
be recommended as general rule. If
one is to tour not much more than / 900
miles 1t Is more economical to hire a
car abroad. However, if more extensive
touring Is contemplated one can take
ones own car at less expense.

BOSTON, June ga plea for a
change in motor car design to protect
the pedestrian is made by DR.. Timothy
Leary, medical examiner of Suffolk
County.
DR.. Leary' points out that in one
year automobiles kill more persons in
America than the total death toll Of
great disasters throughout the world
since the sinking of the battleship
Maine in 1898.
THE front of the present automobile
could not be constructed with more dia-
bolical perfection were it intended to
insure the death of every human being
who came into its path," DR.. Leary
says.
28 Killed at Once.
I'VE speak with horror Of the car
of Juggernaut, but the highest record
OF deaths under the car Of Juggernaut
was the killing of % human beings at
one time in India. And it should be
remembered that all of the victims
were ready and willing to die.
This modern Juggernaut kills an
nually in the United States almost
900 human beings for each victim OF
its less efficient Oriental prototype, and
none of the victims is willing"

Change in Auto Design to Protect
Pedestrians Urged in New England

"Those familiar with traumatic sur
gerry in hospitals" he added, ARE
aware that even those who are said to
recover from their injuries often do so
only in sense which Is incomplete.
THE victims of skull fractures who
do not die frequently show mental de-
terioration, sometimes with a complete
change in character, and may be con-
verted from intelligent, capable char
acters into inefficient Semi-invalids.
Gripping injuries other than those due
to skull fractures add 70 the indict-
ment.
Pedestrians Chief Victims.
Statistics show that IS per cent Of
all automobile deaths occur to pedeS-
trians, and the pedestrian percentage
is much higher In the cities than in
the country.
Striking is the evidence that the
high death rate among operators and
passengers in cars occurs in the ages
between 16 and 35. Rampant youth
| is largely responsible for this mortality.
which is due mainly to collisions. The
high percentage of pedestrian NOR
tality. by contrast, is met with outside
of these ages"
| Relief for pedestrians, DR.. Leary
says, lies in part in a publicity which
shall compel, in construction of the
automobile consideration on an equal
basis with the operator andApassenger.

LANES TO PREVENT
CONGESTION URGED
Cars on Defense Highway and An
napolis Boulevard Create
Difficult Tangles.
Special Dispatch to The Star

special Dispatch to The Star
BALTIMORE, June 29.-Trafic con-
gestion on the Defense Highway is due
to the fact that many motorists return
ing to Baltimore from the direction of
washington have the impression that it
IS less crowded road than either the
washington Boulevard or the Columbia
Pike, according to E. Austin Baughman
Motor Vehicle Commissioner.
Large numbers of cars are said to
have been using this highway recently
IN travelling between Baltimore and the
Capital, the result being an unusual
croWding of the Defense Highway and
traffic jams at both the Bladensburg
and Annapolis Boulevard functions.
The only way to prevent these traffic
jams, he declared, is to provide about
1000 feet of road separating the two
lines Of traffic and diverting the north
bound traffic on the Annapolis Boule-
ward away from the junction with the
traffic on the Defense Highway. The
effect of this, says Commissioner
Baughman, would be to divert the
traffic from the shores and other com
munitieS on the Annapolis Boulevard
and its side roads through Baltimore
by way of Brooklyn.
He declares that the traf6c bound
into Baltimore over the Defense High
way would come up into the city by
way of Westport and that the two
dense streams of automobiles which
employ each road on Sunday evenings
would not have to cross.
Last Sunday night northbound auto
mobiles stretched three abreast on the
Annapolis Boulevard south from its
junction with the Defense Highway to
the Marley Creek road, two miles south
A similar line Of cars bound toward
Baltimore stretched on the Defense
Highway from the Annapolis Boulevard
toward Washington.
The confusion was caused by the
junction of these two boulevards, it is
said.
Harry D. Williar, jr., chief engineer
of the State Roads Commission, is
planning to recommend to that body
that cutoff road be constructed to
alleviate traffic conditions at Glen
burnie, where the Grain Highway and
the Annapolis Boulevard cross. 1t Is
hoped the project will be carried out
before the end of Summer, Williar said.

Tunnel to Open Mountain Grandeurs
To Tourists In Zion National Park

to Mount Carmel and Bryce Canyon
was started in 1927 after laborious sur
veys in an effort to find a shorter route
between the ZioE and Bryce Canyon
National Parks. BY air line it was only
81 miles, but by the road it was 158
miles over a route barely passable at
best and at times impossible or dan
gerous. The new route shortens the
distance to SO miles.
Many problems were encountered.
The road to the cliff had to be built to
transport the tunneling machinery. The
machinery had to be taken up the face
of the cliff and work was started at
several points. First the galleries were
cut to the tunnel line, and then the
tunnel was cut through between these
points.
The building was undertaken by the
National Parks Service to stimulate
travel in the parks. The work is being
done under the supervision of the
United States Bureau of Public Roads.
The 8ia miles of road and tunnel in
the park are being built at cost OF
81 500, 900.
The Utah State Highway Department
is building 1914 miles of road from the
eastern park boundary to the Grand
Canyon Highway as a Federal aid prof.
ect at cost Of $750,000.

TRUCK SHIPPING
SHOWS INCREASE
Overnight Hauling Helps Both
Farmer and Public, Sur
vey Reveals.

Motor trucks leave Western North
Carolina in the early evening. The
next morning fresh Strawberries are
served on Washington tables.
About midnight, huge motor trucks
leave Kalamazoo. The following morn
ing, housewives in Chicago receive crisp
Michigan celery.
From one-fifth to one-third Of all
fruit sold in New York City has made
the journey from farm to market by
motor truck.
During 1928 more than $4,000 900
cattle, calves, hogs and sheep were
shipped by motor truck to II leading
American markets. This was an in
crease of As per cent over 1927 ship
ping. Much of this stock was trucked
in from points as far away as 200 miles,
while some shipments came from dis
tance of 800 miles
To the casual observer, there may
seem to be but few trucks on the high
way. But trucks, 1t must be remem-
bered, operate at fairly high speeds for
the most part and even the slowest of
them travel along at much faster
pace than the two or four horse team
that did rural hauling few years back.
Quietly, motor trucking has assumed
an exceedingly important place in
modern transportation. Trucks operate
day and night, and but very little of
the night hauling has to do with a GER
tain Illicit business. It is entirely cor
rect to state that most communities
are unaware of the scope OF motor
trucking.
Every one benefits from commercial
usage Of the hard surfaced highway.
The farmer gets his produce to market
quickly; to him this means increased
profits, to the consumer it means food
freshness at a lower cost.
The farmer is anxious to get his
produce to market at any time of the
year-and everybody has to eat. Com
munities in planning and building
highways should stress durability and
smoothnesS.

revocation of an owners license If he
has been involved in an accident Of

party, provided he is unable to satisfy
any just claims after due process of
law and judgment has been handed
down against him. He is not required
to carry insurance or prove his ability
to satisfy judgment until after an
accident and suit against him. Before
license can be returned all claims have
to be satisfied and he must provide in
surance to the extent of 5000 for per-
Sonal injury and 81 900 property dam
age. This is very different from the
compulsory insurance being considered
by many Of the States, as 1t does not
infiict hardship upon the automobile
owner until he Is found guilty of being
the cause Of an accident.

MOUNT CARMEL, Utah. - Gran
deurs now inaccessible to the tourist
will be opened with the completion, at
the end of the year, of the Pine Creek
Canyon Highway tunnel, Zion National
Park, in Southern Utah.
Cut through the face Of a forbidding
cliff, the tunnel, more than mile in
length, will open up the beautiful up
per reaches of the park over scenic
winding road, leading to Bryce Canyon
and Mount Carmel.
From the entrance of Zion National
Park the road winds back and forth
along the slopes of Pine Greek Canyon,
climbing upward 800 feet in miles
to the portal of the tunnel through
the high sandstone cliff.
For 5000 feet the tunnel, % feet
wide and 16 feet high, follows just in
side the face of the cliff on S per
cent grade until at the opposite end 1t
has climbed above the walls of the lower
Pine Creek Canyon.
From there the road leads through
sandstone ridges and across rocky pla-
teaus to the eastern boundary Of the
park and then to the Grand Canyon
Highway south of Mount Carmel.
At half a dozen points the tunnel ap-
proaches close enough to the face of the
cliff for galleries to be cut in its side,
per hitting views from on high of the
win ing canyon road, the turreted
crags of East Temple and of the west
canyon wall. Some of the galleries are
large enough for several motorists to
park their cars.

NOT so LUCKY

" HOOKING the other fellows line of goods
~ has always been considered poor business
strategy. Even this rule has it's excep-
lions. big tobacco company, making cigarets,
has been knocking other merchandise in recent
months and has been boosting the sale of cga-
rets. But here is the exception to the exception:
the knocking campaign was in part responsible
for sentiment in the state legislature in favor of
ctyaret tax 1t the Senate passes the cigaret
tax BILL and it becomes law, the advertising
campaign of one tobacco company will be largely
to blame-or to credit, according to the readers
viewpoint.
Most of the votes for the cigaret tax were
cast on economic grounds; some of them were
on so-called moral grounds. Both reasons have
been discussed and attacked in city newspapers.
The third reason has been overlooked, but farm
organizations were active lobbyists for the ciga-
ret tax. resolution adopted by the Farm
Bureau at it's annual state convention states
the farmers reasons:
"Inasmuch as the American Tobacco Com
pany, manufacturers of cigarets, is conducting
national campaign to induce the women of
America to use tobacco instead of eating candy
and ice cream, and inasmuch as candy and ice
cream are wholesome foods made largely from
dairy products.
BE it resolved that we endorse the bill
introduced by Representative Dunn for tax on
cigarets, Recommending that this tax be raised
from the proposed two cents to three cents.
"In making this recommendation we do so
feeling such tax will help keep the Minnesota
markets for Minnesota farmers in addition to
being justified revenue measure"
The economic argument of the farmers
swung enough votes to pass the cgaret tax bill
in the House. Even in the skilled hands the ham
mer sometimes smashes the fingers instead of
nail heads. In this instance the knockers ham,
mer hit the nail the head-but it was the coffin
nail-Montevideo News.

WEEKLY NEWSPAPER AND THE FARMER

e<THE weekly press of Minnesota is one of
the major factors in the states pro-
gress," says G.. w. Cornell, secretary
of the Minnesota Wheat Pool. "There may have
been time when the local paper was not con-
cerned in large way in the welfare of the COM
munity but, if ever, that time is in the dim
distant past
"Today the entire life of the community is
reflected in the local weekly's pages, and as the
local interests have widened, so has the vision
and interest of the local newspaper widened,
until now it has become an indispensable aid to
the progressive farmer.
"The columns of the average Minnesota news
paper touch and reflect every interest in the
community. Especially this is true of farming.
The fact that farming, while carried on by in
dvidual families, is the great and vital industry
of each and every Minnesota community is re-
cognized by every newspaper editor, and the
amount of news and international matter relat-
ing directly to farming carried by the average
Minnesota weekly is surprisingly large.
"It is significant of their friendly and con-
structive attitude toward agriculture that the
country newspaper editors of Minnesota should
have worked out the Minnesota Plan for farm
relief. The opportunity lay wide open to the
press of the nation, but it was the editors of
Minnesota who realized the need of the farmer,
and who formulated program that cannot fail
to have important results in the rehabilitation of
