with the two most common kinds
of cold germs found i'm the nose
and throat (streptococcus hem-

The threads were then suspended
in jars in which Vapex had been
placed at the bottom. The jars

revealed that the vapor arising
from the vapex had killed the

DaytOna Beach
Plans to Build
Speed Memorial
Monument Is Proposed as
Honor to Drivers Who
Set Records.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. P1.-Erec-
ton of monument to super-speed is
being planned here, where most OF the
major automobile straight-away trials
have been staged in recent years.
Plans call for its erection on one OF
the small islands in the meandertng
Halifax River, which separates the
smooth, wave-lapped stretch OF natural
ocean speedway from the mainland.
On the monument are to be inscribed
the names and achievements of the
makers of all officially recognized speed
records, which date back to 1898, when
ChaSseloup- Laubat, the Frenchman,
astounded the world with speed OF 80
miles an hour.
Since that time the automobile speed
record has been broken 81 times by 70
drivers, a list including such familiar
names as Barney Oldfield, Ralph De
Palma, Tommy Milton and Henry Ford,
who in 1908 set record OF 9l.37 miles
an hour in his famous old 1893"
The Daytona Beach speedway has
been the scene of every record-breaking
achievement since Sir Henry Segrave
of England startled the world in 1927 by
attaining, for the first time, an auton1o-
bile speed of 200 miles an hour.
Since then the worlds Straight-aWay
speed record has been boosted to the
present mark of 231. 1862 miles an hour.
which Sir Henry set here last Spring
after his old mark of 203.79 had twice
been broken. once by fellow country
man. Capt. Malcolm Campbell. and once
by an American, the late Ray Keech OF
Philadelphia.

NEW YORK LAW ON AUTO DRIVING

This is major consideration. BY finan-

There are several ways of proving
your financial responsibility to the sat

that a person from another State, in

State is concerned. is subject to this law.
Safeguard Against Accidents.
To drive without fear of having your
license suspended and losing your regis
tration, you can drive without ever hav-
ing an accident or without ever having
a final judgment brought against you.
Even though an accident may have
been the fault Of another, juries being
human, sometimes make mistakes. No
man can guarantee he will never have
a final Judgment brought against him
as the result of an automobile accident,
unless he decides never to own or OPP
crate a motor vehicle.
The law has provision for reinstate-
ment of license and registration. It has
provisions for other contingencies. Only
those who fail to comply with the re-
quirements of this law will have need
of such knowledge. But motorists
everywhere, and especially those in New
York State, should be interested in such
legal requirements. They are signs of
progress and should make for the well
fare of citizens generally, whether mo-
florists or not.

BY n. CLIFFORD BRoKAw,

Automobile Tecnnfcal ADVISER.
From the number of requests received
for information concerning the auto
mobile financial responsibility law,
State on September /, it appears there
is large amount of interest In this
new legal document. It also appears
that there are many people who do not
fully understand just what this law
involves and Is intended to accomplish.
This is not strange, for legal verbiage
is frequently quite difficult for the
non-legal mind to interpret.
This law was passed in an effort to
make the highways of this common
wealth safer for both the pedestrians
and motorists. Another reason for this
new statute was to make sure that those
who perchance may be injured on these
highways, through the fault of another,
would be compensated for their in
jurieS. In order to make sure that
drivers will be more careful. this law
says in effect: THE State will suspend
an operators or chauffeur's license and
his registration if he is at fault in an
automobile accident. if he Injuries any
one, and the final Judgment is against
him Or If he is at fault in an auto
mobile accident, damages some ones
property, and the final Judgment
against him is 500 or more.
Licenses May Be Suspended.
Licenses will also be suspended If one
drives without a license, drives at an
excessive rate of speed and Injuries some
one, drives in a reckless manner and in
jures some one, drives while intoxicated
or fails to stop when involved in an ac-
cident, or If one has been convicted of
any of the last four items mentioned
above while driving in some other State.
In effect, the law says If any of the
above be true, the State will suspend
your operators license and registration,
for such is the law"
While this applies only to New York
State, other States are much interested
in the actual working out of this law,
and some other States have laws under
taking to accomplish similar results
The motorist planning to drive outside
the borders of New York State should.
of course, post himself on the laws Of
similar nature In other States.
AS far as New York State Is con-
cerned, the law goes on to say: eff you
can show us that you can pay up to
$4,000 for an injury to one person;
pay up to $4,000 for injuries to more
than one person involved in the same
accident; pay UP to $1,000 for damage
to property as a result of an accident
involving your car, we will not suspend
your license or registration under this
law" OF course, license and registra-
ton might be suspended under the
criminal law. That is another matter.
The new law indicates new in
terest on the part of the State in the
financial responsibility of its citizens.

In the Motor World
BY q. ADAMS HOWARD.

/ degrees Fahrenheit. Running the
car at low temperature results in
wasted fuel, crankcase dilution,
| increased wear and poorer all
round performance.
To avoid these difficulties, the
motorist is urged to watch his
motometer just as closely in Win
ter as in Summer.
This advice is especially i'm
portant to drivers whose cars are
equipped with radiator shutters.
Automatic radiator shutters,
which are operated by pair of
thermoStat cells, open at tempera-
lures varying from 155 to 1870 de-
greeS, according to the type Of
shutter used. Radiator glycerine
anti-freeZe works efficiently with
any Of these types. Hand operated
shutters, controlled from the dash,
are opened and closed by the
driver at will. It is the usual Gus
tom for the driver to leave the
shutter closed until the motor is
thoroughly warmed up, and then
open tiff he remembers to do
so when approximately the
to $50 degreeS-mark has been
reached.
Points to Observe.
For cars equipped with the
newer dashboard type of mo-
tometer, which indicates motor
temperature by a movable hand
on a dial, this procedure is salts
factory, because such indicators
show within reasonable degree
Of accuracy the actual tempera-
ture of the cooling system liquid.
The sensitive bulb of the appa-
ratuS is placed in direct contact
with the liquid in the water
jacket.
Drivers who use the type of
motometer placed on the radiator
cap, however, should remember
that the motometer registers the
temperature of the air above the
contents of the radiator and not,
as many suppose, the temperature
of the cooling fluid. outdoor
temperatures easily affect this air
pocket and in order to maintain |
the proper temperature of from |
100 to $50 degrees in the water |
jacket it is necessary to take this
outdoor temperature into consid-
Grafton.
When the mercury hovers be-
tween 80 and 40 degrees outside |
about one-third of the red liquid !
should show. In zero weather the |
red should hardly show above the !
bottom of the gauge. At no time |
during cold weather should this |
type of motometer be allowed to |
reach Summer average" mark. |
If the radiator cover is kept |
closed on a very cold day until |
the radiator cap motometer in
dictates Summer average" the |
temperature of the liquid in a
cooling system will rise to the boil
ing point of water. If a volatile |
anti-freeze is used the contents !
will evaporate rapidly. because the |
boiling point of the volatile
LIQUIDS is lower than that of |
water. Knocking of the motor
and steaming of the radiator will
follow and appearances will indi-
cate that the circulation has been
clogged by freezing, although 1t is
not the case.

traffic director. To a large extent
this is true. A man may be driv-
ing an automobile for the first
week of his life-yet he has ali
opinion just what regulations
ought to be made or how the sig
nal lights should be worked.
This situation would be all right
If the ideas of these drivers were
constructive. Unfortunately, many
opinions are caused by selfish mo
tiveS alone. A motorist wants the
timing of certain lights changed
because 1t will enable him to get to
his Office a little quicker. He does
not think of the other driver who
would be slowed down by such a
change.
Will Publish Letters.
However, there are those who
have constructive thoughts and
for this class The Star will publish
each Sunday letters from those
who care to write in. The letters
must pertain to traffic or motoring
problems and should not contain
any personal TRADE against any
individual. The letters will be
published under the heading OF
I'm My Opinion" and initials only
will be signed. This feature COM
menceS today.
1t is the intention of Traffic Di-
rector Harland to coordinate the
traff1c lights on Sixteenth and
Fifteenth streets. This plan, when
put into operation, will facilitate
greatly the movement of east and
west traffic.
The work OF wedding out I'M
desirable drivers by Assistant
Traffic Director Eldridge contin-
ues. About 100 drivers have their
permits revoked each month be-
cause of serious traffic violations.
So in a years time more than 1000
reckless drivers are removed from
the streets of the city. About so
per cent get their licenses back,
but only after careful considera-
ton and belief that they have
turned over a new leaf"
CONSERVATION Caused.
A story in The Star caused some
CONSERVATION at the Traffic
Bureau last week. Mr.. Harland
was told that the story stated that
he had given the American Auto
mobile Association the authority
to give drivers receipt permitting
them to operate their car when
the permit renewals we're slow in
coming to them after application
ahad been made.
Mr.. Harland said that he had
given the A. A. A. no such author
ity and could not in fairness I'M
less he gave every other organi-
cation in the city the same priv
ilege. The American Automobile
Association, through representa-
tive, informed Mr.. Harland that
they had not given out any such
story to the newspaper.
Then Mr.. Harland read the story
In question. The story did not
state that the A. A. A. would give
out their receipt, but one obtained
from the Traffic Bureau. In other
words they would help a notorist
get his permit renewal, give him
a receipt. but the receipt was from
the Traffic Bureau. This was all
right, and so all's well that ends
well.
