RECKLESS DRIVING
TARGET IN MICHIGAN
Speed Limit Removed, but Cars
Are Required to Be Under
Control at All Times.

DETROIT Pl.-Michigans mo-
speed-limit" law, applied to motoring
on State highways outside Of incorpo-
rated villages and cities, is now two
years old and seemingly is on the
statute books to stay
Under the terms of the law all re-
StrictionS on speed were removed and
that clause of the new statute was
given widespread publicity. Somewhat
less notice was given to the other
clauses of the act that its sponsors re-
garded as more vital as safety factors
than a speed limit.
While the law fixes no maximum
speed limit-formerly 35 miles an hour
on Michigan highways-it places other
responsibilities upon the motorist. One
requirement is that the car must be
under control" at all times: a second
safety factor is the threat of reckless
driving charges against the motorist
regardless of the speed at which he
might be driving his car.
Almost every known traffic offenSe
aside from speeding Is classified as
reckless driving" under the Michigan
law. Driving with defective brakes and
cutting in" or weaving" in and out of
traffic line are among the offenses
CLASSIFIED as reckless" handling of an
automobile.
The law was sponsored and drawn
on the theory that, given all other ele-
ments of safety in driving, speed itself
was not dangerous on the open road
provided the car was always under
control" It's effect, proponents of the
law say, has been to make caution the
primary objective of Michigan motor
lists who like to step on it" when they
reach the open road

LAW TO REGULATE
BUS TRAVEL URGED
Plans Under Way to Promote
Bill for Government Con-
troll of Transportation.

An attempt will be made during the
present session of Congress to obtain
final passage Of the Parker bill propos-
ing governmental regulation of motor
buses engaged in interstate transport
tation Of passengers, according to an
nouncement made this week by pro-
ponentS of the measure
The bill now before Congress differs
in some respects from the measure in
troduced last session by Representative
James S. Parker of New York, chair
man OF the House committee on inter-
state and foreign commerce, but an
analysis Of the two bills by the legal
department of the American Motorists
Association has revealed that all of the
provisions of most Importance to the
motorist are retained in the new
measure.
Aim OF Bill Outlined.
The present bill, for example, retains
the provision requiring bus companies
as prerequisite to obtaining a license
to operate to furnish bond to indemnify
passengers against injury or death and
to secure others against injury or prop
erty loss The provision requiring that
rates charged be just and reasonable is
also retained.
The Interstate Commerce Commission,
IN response to request from the COM
mittee, suggested last week several
minor changes In the language of the
new Parker bill, clearing up ambigui-
ties and defining more accurately the
discretionary power of the regulating
body. The commission has suggested
that the new bill be reworded to per-
init bus competition in communities
having railroad or railway service.
Feature of Special Interest.
'The feature of the proposed legisla-
ton of greatest interest to the motor
ists," says Thomas j. Keefe, general
manager of the American Motorists As
ISOLATION, which is supporting the meas
ure, lis that in case of damage to
property or personal injury the motor
list who has just claim can be as
sured of collecting any damages he may
have sustained. Furthermore, it will
Danish from the highway the irrespon-
sible bus operator, who is a menace to
motorists, and prevent unwarranted
competition, which is an economical
loss"

Oil Filter Renewal
Every 10000 Miles
Seen as Necessity

A pint of abrasive matter taken
from the oil by the oil filter in TO-
900 miles driving emphasizes the
necessity Of motorists having the oil
filter renewed every 10000 miles.
This amazing discovery was made
after repeated tests by research en-
gineers who burned a cloth f1ltering
unit taken from an oil filter that
had done service for 1896 miles.
The residue was composed of one
third sand and two-thirds metal
oxides, and was of such a highly
abrasive nature that it could be used
as an effective knife sharpener.
While the abrasives were trapped
by the oil filter before doing dam
age to cylinders. piStons and other
internal parts of the engine, en-
gineers warn that after about 10000
miles the filtering unit usually be-
comes so filed that the oil filter
needs servicing. necessitating install
lation of renewal cartridge, which
will make the filter as good as new
again.

DACKARD pioneered the straight eight motor
J. car in America That fact is well known.
Now, like the vast majority of all multi-cylinder
car manufacturers the world over, Packard has
standardized the eight-in-line power plant.
Every current Packard model is now a Packard
Eight. That, too, is well known.
But what is not generally appreciated is that
Packard builds three complete lines of Packard
Eight cars-the Standard Eight, the Custom
Eight and the De Luxe Eight.
The Packard cars in each line are fundamentally
alike in engineering design, in quality of mate
rails and craftsmanship, in the characteristic
beauty of their body lines. Packard has but one
standard. The models in the three lines differ
in size, in detailed refnements of body embel-
lishment and in the degree of individuality avail
able to the purchaser in color, upholstery and
body styles. Today there is Packard Eight
suited to the requirements of every man or
woman who seeks more than mere transporta-
ton in motor car.

inch of ice on the rejecting pool of the

three inches before the public will be
admitted to skating.
Officials explained that the recent

freezing, from the skaters viewpoint,
and only last night did Jack Frost COM

outlook is that it will be a couple Of
