Pedestrians Rights
At Crossings Stated,

A frequent and seldom mentioned
cause of accidents at uncontrolled street
intersections is the failure of motorists
to observe fundamental rule Of traffic
control that to my knowledge has never
been enforced in the District. 1t is
that at such a place the pedestrian has
the right of way, not the automobile
driver.
For years it has been customary in
Washington for a motorist approaching
an intersection where he sees person
crossing merely to blow his horn and
continue at unabated speed, trusting to
Providence that the pedestrian in his
path will hear the warning and remove
himself from harms way.
The law, however, has 1t that in all
such cases the right of way is the
pedestrians and it is incumbent on
the motoriSt to give it to him. Cases
of failure to yield the right of way, in
volving two automobiles, are heard daily
in Traffic Court, but I doubt that the
court records will show many cases
where a pedestrian Is the complainant.
The reason is that the average citizen
of this city does not know that 1t is
his right to walk unmolested from the
path of an oncoming machine. Certain
it is that this traffic rule is not en-
forced by Washington police. w. s. T.

ATTENTION TO TIRES
PAYS BIG DIVIDEND
Reports Show Motorists Use Less
Rubber Than They Did
Ten Years Ago.

Despite the growing number OF auto
mobiles, experts report that fewer tires
are being sold in relation to the amount
of driving done.
This is in spite of the fact that most
motorists now drive farther and tour
oftener than before.
Putting the story in figures, each car
which ten years ago wore four tlres
per year now needs but two new tires
There are, of course, definite reasons
for this.
"One is that tires are being made
better, but a more definite reason Is
that motorists are paying more atten.
ton to the tires they buy" says Pau
E. Gilbert, local tire distributor. Mo-
toristS have found that the difference
in price between an unknown tire and
nationally known make is only sllght
while the difference in wearing qualities
is generally considerable.
Now that every State has its snare
of good roads, so that motoring In all
sections of the country is much the
same, more and more tire business Is
going to firms with a known reputation
Tor dependability andkquality."

TESTS ON PARKING
HARD FOR DRIVERS
30 Per Cent of Applicants for Per-

BALTIMORE, December IA sum-
mary of the 2,161 cases in which, dur

drivers licenses were refused shows
that inability to properly park their

Failure to signal left-hand and other

several other types of traffic rule in
fractions while taking the driving test
also contributed to the total of original
Failure to memorize traffic rules was
responsible for inability of many ap-
pllcantS to pass their original eXanina-
tlons, while bad eyesight also was u
factor. The inspectors, the records
show, found many men color blind,
but reported they found no women with
that ocular deficiency.
Many of those who "f1unked" the
parking tests, according to George w.
Munford, legal examiner on the STAFF
OF Automobile Commissioner Baugh-
man, tried to get their cars into the
prescribed spaces nose-flrst, instead OF
drawing ahead of and parallel to the
space and then backing into it.
Several licenses were issued to deaf
persons during the year, Munford said.
Members of this group, once they pass
their tests, are given conditional drivers
cards, which permit them to operate
machine for the first six months only
when accompanied by a person with
normal hearing. There are about rs
such conditional licenses now in use
in Maryland, Munford said.

SUPER HIGHWAYS
URGED FOR SAFETY
High Speed Road Across Continent
Is Regarded as Force
for Economy.

A network of super-highwayS across
the American Continent. over which au-
tomobiles could travel at high rates of
speed, would provide safety in motoring
unhoped for with the present types of
roads, in the opinion Of H. H. Franklin,
a leader in the automobile industry.
"Over such super-highways cars could
travel at minimum speed of 100 miles
an hour with practically none OF the
dangers encountered on present high
ways" Mr.. Franklin said. mo through
which does not permit speed over long
distances"
Lack of understanding of present-day
needs by road building authorities as
much as lack of vision of future needs
prevents the construction of such roads,
Mr.. Franklin declared. He points out
that limitations of funds cannot be
given as a reason against modernizing
all new roads, since it is more economi-
cal to build roads that will do service
over a long period of years than to
build roads that will have to be straight
ened, widened and improved within a
few wears after they are completed In
order to cope with traffic conditions.
While Mr.. Franklin regards poSSibil-
ties for travelling at high speed over
long distances as a prime necessity OF
new roads, he contends that safety is
paramount when construction of new
highway is considered, and that safety
cannot be attained over narrow roads
that cross railroad tracks at grade, make
sharp turns and wind through congest-
ed centers.
such narrow roads, he says. are hope
lessiy out of date before they are fin
ished and do not begin to care for pres
ent-day traffic, much less provide for
the traffic that can be expected within
the next few years, when automobiles
built to travel 100 miles or more an
hour in safety will be in common use.

BUREAU CONSIDERS USED-CAR
ADVER Rising CENSORSHIP
Campaign Is Being Formulated Largely
to Meet Demands of Dealers,
Says Announcement

Several instances of tricky adver-
tising have been discovered by our or
ganiZation IN a preliminary investiga-
ton. A typical example is that of the
dealer who advertised a medium price
car of 1927 vintage at the extraordi-
narily low price of $35. Persons who
answered the advertisement when the
doors of the establishment opened we're
glibly informed that the car had been
sold. but that there we're a number of
other good buys.
Advertisement Bait.
The advertisement was very evidently
bait to lure people to the establishment
so that statesmen would have prospects.
This advertisement is another case
of what is known as trick advertising.
1923 Blank, in good condition; must
be sold as private party is leaving the
country. >
And below the advertisement was
private residence address. Investigation
by the Better Business Bureau indicated
that this address was the home of q
used-car salesman employed by down.
town merchant, that nobody was leav-
ing the country, and that the car was
not being forced sale, but that the
whole thing was merely trick to make
the purchaser think he was buying from
a private party and not a dealer and
therefore think he was getting an espe-
Cially good bargain.
Another popular though fake selling
method has been to advertise cars as
'reposSessed will be sold for unpaid bal
ance' thus indicating a bargain, when
investigation will clearly show that the
car was not repoSSessed at all, but was
long since paid for by the original
owner and was sold to the dealer claim
ing to have taken the car away from
the person who failed to complete pay
mentS. Similarly there have been in.
stances of statesmen claiming used auto
mobiles were demonstrators when they
had been run for several thousand miles
more than demonstrators are run and
were turned in by former owners for
new automobiles.
Advised Investigation.
THE average used automobile" Mr..
Rothschild points out, involves an out
lay of more money than the average
mercantile purchase. It is in the ma
ture Of an investment and despite the
splendid morale of the business men en-
gagged in this trade in Washington.
prospective buyers should exercise nat
ural caution and should remember the
| slogan of the Better Business Bureau
to Before You Invest-Investigate.
Part of this program will be public
| announcement and publicity OF the
standards of ethical practices adopted
so that the public may differentiate be-
tween the reputable dealer and the few
isolated questionable tradesmen. Per-
| sons who feel that they have been mis-
| led or induced by untruthful advertising
to purchase secondhand automobiles
will be urged to report the matter to the
Better Business Bureau for impartial
investigation.
THE present plans call for the ap-
| pointment of an automobile advisory
committee composed of well known
reputable dealers to advise and aid the
bureau in this cooperative program"

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, December 14.-The IA
talities from vehicular accidents in the
city during the first IL months of this
year show decided increase over the
corresponding period of last year, ac-
cording to records of the accident pre-
vention bureau of the Police Depart
ment
The police records for the IL months
show a total of l62 persons killed in
vehicular accidents This equals the
total for the whole of last year. Dur
ing the 1l-month period of 1928 there
were 142 fatalities.
Up to the first day of this month
the records show that 4,815 persons
received injuries in accidents in which
automobiles, street cars and railroads
figured. From January l to December
l Of last year. there were 4.525 persons
treated at hospitals for injuries for
which these three kinds of vehicles
were responsible.
Magistrate Edward NJ Staylor of the
Central Traffic Court stressed the in
crease in the number of persons brought
before him during the past month on
charges of reckless driving of automo-
biles. The magistrate declared that
he was going to mete out severe pen
alties to those found guilty of reckless
driving in an effort to decrease the
number Of fatal automobile accidents
in the city.

For Opera Attendance.
1t does seem to me that the police
could aid the lovers of music in Wash
ington by making their pilgrimages to
the opera a little less tedious. Move
ment of traffic is facilitated by the Po-
lice Department around residences
where large receptions are being held.
This is notably true at the White House,
Pan-American Building and diplomatic
homes.
AS the opera, to large extent, draws
chiefly from these homes, it would
seem only proper that the same courtesy
be rendered. On several occasions while
proceeding to the opera l have been
held up in traffic congestion, made so
to large extent by business trucks. AS
any one knows the penalty of being a
few minutes late at the opera results in
the offender being obliged to stand until
the first rendition is over.
might be told that leaving my house
few minutes earlier would solve my
difficulties. That is undoubtedly true,
but If the courtesy in directing traffic
is done at other times, is there any rea-
son that operas should not fall in that
category?
If the Police Department will instruct
a few officers to prevent congestion
around the entrance of the theater and
along that block am sure it would be
appreciated by large number of tax
payers. The opera is not held every
day and. therefore, believe it should
be considered. GBA.

BY H. CLIFFORD BRoKAW.

Automobile Technical Adviser New York
City West Side Y. NJ. G. A.
Coming up the end of another cal
endar year, many motorists and many
who hope to be owners of automobiles
are eagerly anticipating what features
are to be seen on the new models which
will be available in the early part of
January. OF course, not all manufac-
turers Of automobiles bring out new
models in January. Some bring them
out at other seasons of the year and
some concerns which produce new
models in January make few if any es-
Sential changes. The fact that automo-
bile expoSitions prevail to considerable
extent in the early part of the year
probably leads some manufacturers to
bring out new models at this time as a
matter of policy.
AS a result of some of these factors,
it appears that a large number of mo-
toriStS are thinking about securing a
new automobile at about this time of
the year. Another factor in this situ-
alton may be that some people are re-
ceiving a bonus in connection with
their employment, others may be re-
ceiving dividends from investments.
Others who have something in the ma
ture of a systematic money program
may be keeping budget books and clos
ing up their accounts toward the close
of the year. Maybe they find an un-
expected surplus. Perhaps in making
out estimates for spending for the COM
ing year they can see enough income to
make buying new car possible, and
feel that the sooner it is secured the
better. There seems to be number OF
good reasons why it is logical to give
the matter of buying an automobile
serious consideration at this time OF
year.
Purpose of Car.
This brings before the prospective pur-
chaser the problem of how to make the
best possible selection. One of the hrSt
considerations in this connection has to
do with the purpose for which car IS
likely to be used. For instance, the
major need for an automobile is to drive
back and forth from ones home to ones
place of employment, or to drive from
some suburban home to some suburban
railroad station, there are certain types
of cars which are especially well adapted
to such use. If on the other hand an
individuals need for an automobile in
cludes the taking of long trips where
continuous work will be required of the
engine going at fairly high speed and
for a considerable length of time, an
other type of car will probably be
wanted.
If the prospective buyer Of car is
one of those enthusiasts about motor
camping experiences, he will want to
consider, in buying car, the type which
can be most readily adjusted to such
purposes. On the other hand the sport
models are built to appeal to those who
prefer the outdoor air In preference to
riding in a warmer and more COM
Portable closed model.
If person lives in a section of the
country which is very fiat, as, for in
stance, one finds in large sections of
Evening star., 1929-12-15
USE IS IMPORTANT FACTOR
BUYING NEW AUTOMOBILE

Long Island in New York State, one does
not need an automobile specially de-
signed for stiff hill climbing, On the
contrary, If a person lives in a section
OF the country where there are many
hills and mountains, the prospective
buyer would need to give considerable
consideration to the hill-cIimbing ac-
complshmentS of whatever car he goes
to buy.
Other Factors to Be Studied,
There are other matters to consider.
including the size of ones family, which
has more to do with the type of car to
be selected than of the make. There
is the size of ones pocketbook, which
is likely to have a definite bearing on
both the size and the make.
After such factors as are indicated
above have been given consideration,
the prospective purchasers past expert
ence, the recommendations of friends,
seasoned by his own good Judgment.
VIII probably lead him to make a selec-
tlon OF a new car which will be quite
satisfactory. AS a matter of fact. one
can hardly make a serious mistake in
buying any make of automobile, since
they all possess certain features which
represent good values for the price on
the tag. The real problem in buying a
car is to select the one in which is em-
bodied the greatest number of qualifica-
tions desired by the purchaser. The one
point at which a warning should be
given has to do with the price offered
Tor used car which it is proposed to
trade in. When one is offered a few
dollars more for used car by one sales
man, as against another, it doesn't by
any means signify that this represents
bargain. AS matter of fact there
Is a decided tendency toward keeping
the used car, giving the family two cars
instead OF one, and there is much to
be said in favor of this.
