year had one less business day than
last year
Preliminary figures Of average
daily sales of department stores for
the entire year, as compared to 1927,
also showed an increase of per
cent.
The largest increase In The dollar
yoIurne in December, compared to
year ago. was Chicago district
with 6.S per cent, with New York
second with 3.5 per cent. The
largest decline was SIS per cent in
the Atlantic district, closely fol.
lowed by Minneapolis with So per
cent.
81 the s97 reporting stores, so5
showed increases in sales over De.
cember OF last year. Substantial
increases were reported By stores in
the New York, Chicago and San

LACKS
FOOTBALL.
CLASSIC;
By Davis J. Walsh

Football, the kind they play
In a rude, vulgar way with
feet on the face and every
thing, will go for quite an air
ing for the first time this
season in three of the four
major sections tomorrow,
namely, the Middle West the
Far West and the South.
The East will play the other
kind, better known as the old So
rority game. We Of the East pro-
fess to be vastly amused by the
he.man act, a Ia Sinclair Lewis.
We think we go in very profusely
for masculine men but we don't
take much trouble about proving 1t.
Tomorrow, for instance, there
are as many as 20 first-class
football games on the schedule
and none OF them are in the
East.
The other sections ask no favors
of the early schedule. They have
football teams that are looking for
football games and they know that
the only way to get them Is to play
other football teams. So much Tor
virility, whether We think 1t conf
cal or not. Colgate Is the only
Eastern team that figures to come
In for any real action tomorrow
and it is going West to get it, at
that. ...
It will play the first East-West
game of 1929 against Wisconsin at
Madison, this being one of the 20
football teams that are looking tor
football games.
As to those who are looking
and those who apparently are
not, consider the following evil
dence:
At Palo Alto, Stanford is to play
one of the real threats of the coast
conference race, namely oregon,
which held the Cardinal to rs to II
score list year. At Cambridge, Har-
ward Is playing Bates. At Lincoln,
Nebraska opens a remarkable sched'
ule with Southern Methodist, no less.
At New Haven, Yale will daily with
Vermont, which last Saturday rallied
magnificently to hold N. Y. u. to a
n to o score. At Indianapolis, Notre
Dame will play Indiana, one of the
rising teams of the big ten confer
ence. At Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
will play Swarthmore: at Princeton,
the Tiger will meet Amherst. and -
Hanover, N. H., Dartmouth will fight
to the bitter end against-yes
against Hobart.

TXTHEN the new Viking was intro
w dueed, experienced motor car critics
editors of leading automotive publica~
tions-were uniformly enthusiastic about
it's appearance, it's engineering, and the
extraordinary value it offers at medium price.
To quote from Motor: after more than
three years of development, the Olds
Motor Works announces the Viking, a
Weight which represents excellent value
at $1595. The word excellent is used
advisedly. At first glance it might be taken
for $500 car; little more careful con-
sideration of all the factors involved might
suggest price of $1,000; while the actual
list of $1595 is tribute to modern engineer
ing and production methods"
According to Automobile Topics: "The
name Viking is freightcd with valorous
tradition, and few cars have come forth
under as suspicious circumstances, or
revealed more sturdy and bold character.

gasoline consumption, As miles
per gallon; Oil consumption. $500
miles per pint; half the space OF
any other car required for park
ing, reliability proved more than
seven years, and traff1c maneuver-
ability unsurpassed.
According to Sir Herbert Austin.
X. B. E.. chairman of the Austin
Motor Co., Ltd, of Birmingham,
England, the car will soon be
manufactured in the United
States, and will be priced under
$500. The car weighs about $50
pounds. is 9 feet 2 inches long, }
feet 10 inches wide and has q road
clearance Of 83z inches.
While called the Austin Seven"
the car is four cylinders, is water
cooled and has a detachable head
engine, with a bore of % inches
and 3-inch stroke.
The above claims for the car
are indeed interesting, but it is
to be doubted whether the manu-
facturers here in the low-priced
field will be greatly alarmed.
Their intrenchment in the conf
dence of the American public is
rather strong.
Besides the American market
overseas is constantly growing.

cure for the disease, and this is said
to have been found by well known au-
tomotive engineer. His remedy Is q
plastic asbestos lining heralded as
molding q new braking surface while
you drive-a lining that makes your Car
behave.
This plastic asbestos fills In rivet de-
preSsions, also the mesheS between the
weaves of the lining and builds up low
spots, 1t is said, working equally well on
two or four wheel brakes, open or
closed, expanding or contracting. 1t Is
applied TO Innings Of both the woven and
the newer nodded type.
According to automotive experts, the
revolving brake drum vulcanizes the
plastic asbestos into the lining. mold
ing 1t into perfect circle that conforms
exactly to the brake drum, and forms
an entirely new. waterproof, heat-re-
siSting brake surface.
In other words, this new braking
material should eliminate squeaking,
slipping and grabbing.

ton, and motorists In this vicinity will

In the Motor World
BY q. ADAMS HOWARD.

not at intersections and not con-
trolled by lights there were "a
people killed.
The greater safety on light con-
trolled streets and the adviSability
Of crossing at intersections is
somewhat emphasized.
Anent Grade Crossings.
Two significant facts are shown
by reports just filed with the In
terstate Commerce Commission
by the railroads of this country
as to the number Of highway
grade crossing accidents in 1928,
an analysis Of which was made
public by the safety section Of the
American Railway Association.
First, that more than Is per
cent of the total number Of high
way grade crossing accidents in
which motor vehicles were in
volved in 1928 resulted from mo-
florists running into the sides of
trains.
Second. that there was a greater
increase in the number accidents
caused by motorists striking the
sides of trains in 1923, compared
with 1927, than in the number of
highway grade crossing accidents
resulting from motor vehicles
being struck by trains.
Out of 5,036 highway grade
crossing accidents in which motor
vehicles were involved during the
past year, 1,275 resulted from mo-
florists crashing into the sides of
trains which were either standing
still or in motion. This was an
increase Of 113 or 81 per cent,
compared with the number of
such accidents in 1927. Highway
grade crossing accidents resulting
from motor vehicles being struck
by trains totaled 3,761 in 1928, an
increase of "a compared with the
preceding year, or an increase of
per cent.
Highway grade crossing acct
dents involving motor vehicles re-
suited in ATS fatalities in 1928,
an increase of 1873 over the num-
Der of fatalities resulting from
such accidents in 1927. Fatalities
resulting from motor vehicles
being struck by trains in 1928 ac-
counted for 1898 fatalities, while
277 persons lost their lives as q
result of motor vehicles running
into the sides of trains. There
was an increase of 159 in the
number of persons injured in mo-
tor vehicle highway grade cross
ing accidents during the past year
compared with the preceding
year.
The railroads have for some
years conducted an intensive
campaign in an effort to impress
on the public the necessity for
greater care in passing over high
way grade crossings. Continued
cooperation Of the public in exer-
cising continuous vigilance while
approaching and passing over
railroad crossings will produce
gratifying results In lessening the
number Of railroad crossing
crashes.
A Newcomer Appears.
And in the meantime let the
railroads and State highway COM
missions get together and elimi-
nate the grade crossings!
OF special interest in the auto
motive world is the announcement
Of British entry into the Amer
lean markets in direct COMPETE
ton with the low-price cars. This
car is the Austin Seven, said to
be the smallest and least expen-
Sive car distributed through the
possessions Of Great Britain. I'm
portant points claimed for this
car include initial and running
