FINAL
WORD ON
SAFETY

BOSTON, Mass, May 1.-while
the automobile manufacturer has
been concentrating his energies to-
ward safety through the years, the
final word in the safety problem
today II with the driver, John
Warner, Of the studebaker Corpora,
.stion of South Bend. Ind, said to.
@day in addressing the Eighth An.
nual Conference on Highway and
Industrial Safety of the Mas.
Seachusetts Safety Council In the
Hotel Statier at Boston.
The human machinery has fallen
down, rather than the autos" he
said, quoting a report of Tom A.
Burke. Of the National Safety
Council.
I'm the very early days. it was
not uncommon for a driver to see
one Of his rear wheels 60 rolling
along ahead Of the car, the dis
comforting result of a broken axle
shaft. Now and then a front axle
would let down, a frame would
break, or steering knuckle would
fracture without warning. Such
;, ,udAdIuOuS OcCurTSnceS Played no
small part in urging forward the
development Of Steels and alloys
that. are adequate to their task.
They have helped to bring about
the important advances in design,
standardization, production and heat
treatment which have eliminated
these untoward experiences of the
motorIst. His weekend expeditions
have become less interesting, less
-spiced with adventure, but much
more safe and certain.
With steel body construction, the
hazards which attend a crash or an
upset are considerably lessened, and
the possibility Of experiencing these
difficulties has been diminished
through the feature Of greater
driver-visibility. with narrow, steel
windshield corner posts Supplanttng
the wider posts Of wood. There are
four-wheeI brakes, self-starter-, bal.
loon tires. scientific headlights, re.
Electors and q hundred improve
nents. Roads are better generally.
The whole problem today rests
upon the driver. Cars are built
safely. There must be safe drivers
to operate them"

with this added sales effort and
with the good reputation the prod

especially where ruggedness and
