Special Dispatch to The Star.
DETROIT, Mich, June 2e-The part
research plays In the manufacture OF the
modern automobile is shown in the con-
struction and use of special buildings
equipped with machinery designed by
scientists for their study of car per-
formance.
In the last two years major producers
of cars have put millions into the
engineering branch Of the industry.
Some Of their accomplishments IN these
Laboratories" verge on what might have
been termed the supernatural not so
many years ago. The newest institu-
ton of the kind is the engineering and
laboratory buildings of Graham-Paige
Motors Corporation.
The three Graham brothers have IN
this building realized a lifelong fond
ness for machinery of the specialized
kind. One of the demonstrations given
unsuspecting visitors is to have them
walk up to a seemingly motionless cleo
trio fan with what Is apparently a
printed slip pasted on one of its blades,
only to have their hats blown off while
they read: This fan is making ALSO
revolutions per minute"
Illusion Explained.
The explanation is that the Illusion
that the fan is motionless Is produced
by what Is known as the stroborama,
a machine by which engineers analyze
the operation of high-speed gears or
machinery to learn how they function
in q moving car.
The machine comes from France, ano

Expansion of Industry Partially

CHICAGO.-More than 41,355, ,123

United States between 1900 and the
beginning of 1929, according to sur

by the American Research Foundation.
Back In the days of wheezy two

present." says bulletin made public

LICENSE COURTESY
URGED ON STATES
Movement Launched to OBJ
tain Full Reciprocity for
All Foreign Motorists.

A movement to have each State and
the District of Columbia grant full
reciprocity to all foreign motorists, both
as to registration and permits. was
launched here this week by the legisla-
tive committee of the American Motor
lists Association.
survey made by the association
shows that only 16 States at the present
time grant full reciprocity as to regis
tration of foreign cars. They are Ala
bama, Connecticut District of Colum-
bia, Delaware. Florida. Maine, Massa-
chuSetts New York, North Dakota, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Vermont,
Virginia, Washington and Wyoming.
This means that motorist of any of
these States may go into any other
State having full reciprocity and oper-
ate his automobile without the neces-
sity of re-registration in the State to
which he has gone.
In States other than those named
above motorist can use his home State
registration tags from Is days to s
months. The majority of non-recipro-
cal States permit q foreign motorist
register in the new State to which he
has come.
Reciprocity is largely a matter of
COul6 1IIDIilbS J. heete,
general manager Of the American Mo-
toriSts' Association, "and there appears
to be no logical reason why each State
should not extend this courtesy to the
motorists of all other States.
Operators permits of each State are
usually recognized in all other States.
Our survey shows, however. that in
seven States permit holder can oper-
ate none but his own automobile. These
are the States of Arizona. Delaware,
New Jersey. Oregon. South Carolina,
Vermont and West Virginia.
The extension Of full reciprocity,
both as to registrations and permits. our
association believes, should be enacted
in all State motor vehicle laws, and we
are urging this in all States where it is
not now granted" General Manager
Keefe explains. This is being done
through the affiliated clubs Of the
American Motorists Association.

MOTORISTS OPPOSE
GAS TAX INCREASE
A. M. A. Leads Fight Against
Unreasonable Burden
on Car Owners.

Opposition to the proposed increase Of
Sl4o, 100000 in gasoline taxes which mo-
torists of the country are faced with
this year. is being voiced by the Ameri-
can Motorists Association in a protest
against further gasoline tax increases
being filed with members of Legisla-
lures in the States which will meet in
regular session this year.
The increase in gasoline taxes con-
fronting motorists this year, compared
with last, is approximately AZ per cent
over the 1928 gas tax, which aggregated
SS05, 100000 the associations protest
declares. The estimated gasoline tax
for 1929 will approximate 450,000,000
the figures show.
In the District of Columbia the tax
is but two cents per gallon. Motorists
as whole, however, are paying an
average gasoline tax of 3.65 cents per
gallon. With the exception Of five
States, Alabama, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Mississippi and Virginia, the State
Legislatures meet this year in regular
session. and in most States there will be
an attempt to increase gasoline taxes"
declares Thomas ]. Keefe, general man
ager OF the association.
Reasonable Tax Favored.
"A reasonable gasoline tax will not
be opposed by the majority of motorists,
but the tax must be reasonable and in
no State should be for more than is
required for current improvements of
highways of general motor use. In many
States the surplus gasoline tax funds
are diverted to other uses, which is q
violation of the principle of special tax
alton and is unfair to the motorists"
the associations statement points out.
Due largely to the ease with which
gasoline taxes are increased. io~'sIat'1ree
n many States have already placed an
unreasonable burden on the MOTORING
public. In South Carolina, for ex-
ample, the tax is now six cents per gall
ion. The tax becomes part of the pIlr-
chase price of the gasoline and the mo-
torist pays it with little or no thought
Of the tax burden.
If a motorist would but visualize
gasoline taxes as toll gates along the
highway he travels. he would quickly
recognize when the tax becomes an un-
reasonable burden. Unfortunately, how
ever, few motorists think of gasoline
taxes as taxes at all and seldom as
toll tax.
Regarded AS Toll Tax.
"a two-cent tax, however, means a
one-cent toll every six miles, assuming
a motorist gets IL miles to a gallon OF
gasoline; three-cent tax means a toll
OF one cent every four miles; a four-cent
tax, toll of one cent every three miles;
flve-cent tax, toll of one cent every
two and four-tenths miles, and a six
cent tax means a toll of one-half cent
Tor each mile the motorist travels"

the most important national road
building projects ever advanced in Eu-
rope. An expenditure of 700 900, ,0C0 lire

account for $16,0o0,0Oo already have
been begun.
Every province of Italy will be di-
rectly or indirectly affected by this
sweeping construction program. And
from the American tourists point of
view it is high time Italy has awakened
to the advantages of fine national high
ways, since her main roads up to now
have been much below the standard of
other large Euronean countries.
The most striking project is a high
way more than 1000 miles long, rum

CARE OF SPRINGS
VITAL TO COMFORT
Proper fabrication and Attention
Are Required for Easy
Riding.

Improper care of the springs of the
modern motor car Is perhaps the larg-
est single factor in the dissatisfaction
voiced by many motorists with the rid
ing qualities of their machines, although,
of course. lack of spring control devices
also enters into the situation.
However, according to Oscar Coolican.
local automobile distributor, it is be-
cause motorists overlook the fact that
springs demand very special type OF
attention that they fail to derive from
their cars that measure of riding COM
fort which the manufacturer has put
there.
Springs should be properly fabricated
at all times" Mr.. Coolican points out.
But they must not be over-lubricated,
for over-lubrication means that fric-
tional qualities will be reduced, and in
doing that one inevitably cuts the effi-
cheney of the spring.
"Graphiting of the springs is gener-
ally worthwhile gesture, but one that
need not be made frequently. If the
car is equipped with an instantaneous
fabrication system which includes the
spring shackle and bolts, the motorist IS
assured of a simple, effective solution of
one of the most vital of spring lubrica-
ton problems.
Spring covers are excellent, in the
opinion Of leading engineering authori-
ties, provided that before the springs
are encased they have gotten the right
kind of attention. Covers are simply a
protection against dirt and grit finding
its way into the springs. and have no
mechanical properties of their own. In
the field they cover they are remark
ably worth while, but before using them
the motorist should be certain of the
springs condition.
THE whole problem of riding conn
fort is so definitely linked with the man.
ner in which the motorist cares for his
spring and spring equipment
that it Is difficult to understand why so
many car owners entirely neglect this
phase of maintenance.
Thousands of cars that ride poorly
would surprise their owners nightly If
the latter either attended to the springs
themselves, or, better still, allowed a
well equipped and intelligently manned
maintenance department do it for

BALTIMORE. June 29-with half of
the 30-day "save-a-life" campaign over
today, State police now are stationed at
State, stopping all motorists who have
failed to display the official inspection
sticker. They will hand each motorist
a warning card, which is worded as
follows:
Safety life" campaign, June
Is to July Is, 1929, inclusive. You have
not as yet complied with the provisions
of chapter 257, acts of 1929, requiring
the inspection of motor vehicles. 1t is
requested that you have your motor
vehicle inspected at once to avoid pen
atty. Inspection free. Time, only 1C
minutes. Your cooperation to make
this campaign a success will be appre-
ciated.
Will Continue for 10 Days.
This will continue for the next 10
days, after which time the State police
will then stop all cars not displaying
the sticker and the owner will be SUBJ
jected to a rigid police inspection, and
If these cars are found unsafe for
the highways, their driving license will
be revoked. Commissioner z. Austin
Baughman desires to remove from the
highways of Maryland all junk cars
which are a menace not only to the
driver of that car but to all citizens
Of the State Of Maryland.
Commissioner Baughman says that
this law is going to be rigidly en-
forced, and he hopes there will not be
a car in the State of Maryland that
is not displaying the inspection sticker
He also stated that 925 official inspec-
ton stations have been appointed. They
are located in every town and hamlet
making 1t easy for the motorists to
get their cars inspected free of charge
He also stated that II any of the sta
tions are not giving the inspection as
has been agreed, for the motorists to
report 1t, and an example of that sta
ton will be made and it no longer will
be allowed to act as an of1cial inspec-
ton station.
Accidents Are Being Reduced.
He stated that the oficial stations
are doing a yoeman's service in giving
this free inspection and are making
possible the success of this campaign.
Accidents are being reduced, fatalities
are being reduced, and we hope that
at the end of this campaign Maryland
will take its place in the Union as
showing decrease in motor fatalities,
which at the present time are showing
decided increase in all of the other
States" he said.
THE State police will inspect all of
the inspection stations to see that mo-
toristS are treated in q fair manner.
