In the Motor World
BY q. ADAMS HOWARD.

i to the public in the fact that the
| industries which depend upon the
highways for their whole business
should be the worst offenders In
erecting and maintaining thou
sands Of glaring, disfiguring signs
along our streets and roadways."
He also pointed out that many of
the producers Of the best products
do not advertise in this way, and
that certain oil companies have
withdrawn from this practice,
These signs" says Mr.. Mac
Donald, "are concentrated on the
main Travelled highways and are
habitually placed at turns in the
road where the motorists should
be giving most careful attention
to driving. In many instances
they cut of the view Of approach
ing cars at curves and at road in
terSectionS. Some even cut of
the sight Of approaching trains at
unprotected grade crossings. Those
which carry the word stop and
other words ordinarily employed
on the legitimate warning signs
weaken the force Of the properly
placed cautionary signals"
The regular meeting Of the
Washington Automotive Trade As
ISOLATION will be held tomorrow
night at 8 o'clock at the City
Club. c. A. Vane, manager Of
the National Automobile Dealers
Association. will be the principal
speaker. The report and recon-
mendation of the used car COM
mittee will be submitted by Fred
Halter.

To get better performance than
the tfre-makers guarantee for the Col
den Arrows rubber, either there must
be great departure from the accepted
methods of tire-making or a substitute
for tires must be found. Solid rubber
would not do, Capt. Irving says. He
has made tests with them and they are
thrown from the wheels by the centri-
fugai force on their greater weight.
May Not Use Rubber, He Says.
Capt. Irving will not disclose what
Is In the back Of his head about this
tire question.
II may not use rubber" is all he viii
say.
So great have been the advances in
engine construction and body design
that Capt. Irving sees little to bother
about In designing the motive power
or body Of his next speed car. The
motor Of the Golden Arrow weighs $50
pounds and develops 935 horsepower.
1t will drive the Golden Arrow 270
miles an hour, he guarantees, with but
q few structural changes - and tires
that will stand the gaff. More motor
power and general strengthening Of
the frame Of the machine and more
speed will come. That all conforms
to the tables in the book and works
out In practical usage as well as on pa
per. With driver Of the type OF Mai.
Segrave huge question mark has been
eliminated.
&c. as Capt. Irving sees it. everything
about another super-speed attempt
harks back to that eternal tire question.
Leave for England Saturday.
Capt. Irving and Maj Segrave ar
rived In the Capital Monday for short
stay before going on to New York.
They return to England next Saturday.
wednesday they were presented by Sir
Esme Howard, British Ambassador, to
President Hoover, and on the east steps
of the Capitol Maj. Segrave was pre-
sented with the cup awarded by the
city of Daytona, Fla, for his breaking
of the speed record. The presentation
was made by Vice President Curtis.

HIGHWAY POLICE
LACKING IN ITALY
Autostrade Wonderful "Rib.
bons of Concrete" With
"Sky the Limit"

MILAN, March 80 OR.-Highway
patrolmen, nemesis of American motor
lists in their own country. are absent
from Italy's new super-highways or
"autostrade."
Signs tell the drivers that the "sky is
the limit" on speed, but the uninitiated
American, who may not be I'D on his
italian, often takes the placard as a
warning to hold down his pace. But
whether he knows Italian or not, he
soon learns that the fine ribbon of
wide concrete highway which unfolds
beneath the wheels of his car knows
no speed limit.
Big Italian, German or French cars
thunder past him like rubber tired
cannon balls. Ninety or 100 miles an
hour is not an uncommon speed for
the bigger cars capable of holding that
pace.
Like Ancient Roads.
The "autostrade'' are the modern
cousins Of the famous roads of the
Roman empire. But these new triumphs
OF highway engineering are even more
remarkable than those Romans built
before the Christian era.
They are straight, nat, unintersected
roads, reserved exclusively for passenger
automobile traffic. More than 200 miles
of these super highways have already
been opened and half dozen branches
from the main arteries are under con-
struction or projected.
The new highways are not character
istic of general road conditions in Italy;
they are the exception. Italy's regular
system Of roads is rapidly improving
under government control and super
vision, but the super highways are toll
roads built by private enterprise under
governmental authorization.
Highways Tolls to End.
In so years the toll highways viii
become the property of the government
without expense to it. In the mean
time the private company organized to
build and operate the super highways
will keep them in repair. A toll of
about 81 is charged for use of a stretch
100 miles long.
The highway from Milan to Lake
Como, the first one opened, has proved
itself sufficiently successful to encourage
the building of other routes.
On the super highways cross roads
are separated by bridges and viaducts.
Strong fences along the right-of-way
keep out pedestrian intruderS. There
are no angular turns. The roads vary
from "a to 40 feet in width. A tele-
phone service at frequent points make
it possible for the unfortunate notorist
to call for service.

Increase in U. S. Exports Of Gas Shown;
British Continue One Of Largest Buyers

Americas exports Of gasoline are in
.creasing, according to an analysis by
Otto Wilson, local statistican in "In-
dustrial and Engineering Chemistry"
In the trade in gasoline, napntha, and
the lighter refined oils, one Of the larg-
est buyers continues to be the United
Kingdom, which took 15.641, 900 bar
rels valued at $60,814,000 in 1928.
France was the second largest buyer,
with 7,726,0 900 barrels valued at $31,-
777,000, a substantial increase over
1927. Argentina, Brazil and Australia
are the largest buyers outside of Europe.
Canada is q heavy buyer of crude
petroleum. In 1928 it increased its
purchase to 15,431 600 barrels valued at
$22, 235, 900, as compared with 13,036, 900
barrels valued at s2i,57s,se9 the pre-
vious year.
Most of the experts of the other
mineral oils 60 to Europe, Cuba. Japan
and China. In 1928 China almost dou-
bled her purchases of kerosene, of
which she took 4,769,0 barrels. The
United Kingdom took only 2,945,000
barrels.

and its products in 1928 amounted to
$525, 537 900. These exports impose
such a heavy drain upon our supply
that we are obliged to offset it by large
petroleum imports, Mr.. Wilson points
out. Our 1928 purchases of petroleum
and petroleum products had a value
Of $780,, 782, 900 as against $113,434.000
in 1927. The trade included 70. 767, 900
barrels of crude petroleum, of which
"a, $50 900 barrels came from the Dutch
West Indies, and 81 ,987, 600 barrels from
Venezuela, the latter country being no
doubt the source of all these ship
ments. Mexico supplied us with 1854
900 barrels of crude petroleum and CO.
lombia with 11,838,000 barrels.
Imports of refined oils were valued
at s40,e34,000 as against 1888, 900 in
1927.

No less than 106 events have been
scheduled for the 1929 season by racing
authorities in Europe. While many Of
these are run on the open highways
and hill climbs, where high speed is

SIX CYLINDER
CHEVROLET ON !

Three pleasure models of the
new Chevrolet for 1929 are on dis
play in the showrooms of the Con
nors Motor Company. The cars,
all skies and the newest product
of an old line of the General Mo
tors Company, by their snappy APP
pearance, sturdy construction and
many appointments, are attract
ing a great deal Of attention. The
new six cylinder Chevrolet re-
places the four-cylinder Chevrolet
of the past.
In keeping with the modern
trend of automobile designs, that
tend toward lower slung bodies,
four-wheel brakes, engines with
more cylinders, thereby more pow
er, and finer interior fittings. the
engineers of General Motors have
turned out a car that offers all
these and at a price in the range
of the old four-cylinder model.

ROBERT PACKABUSH
FOUND NOT GUILTY
ON LIQUOR CHARGE

Robert Packabush, taxicab driv-
err, charged with transportation OF
intoxicating liquor on two counts,
was found not guilty late yester-
day by jury in the U. S. Com
missioner's Court.
He was charged with transport
ing liquor on January 8, and beer
on February 1, the complaint in
each case being brought by Fed
eral prohibition agents. On the
first occasion, he and Harry DON
nelly were arrested, the latter
being a passenger in the taxi.
Donnelly is now serving out
sentence for possession and trans
portation of nine pints of moon
shine liquor seized at that time.
He testified yesterday that Packa-
bush knew nothing of the liquor
being in the car.
The second count arose over the
seizure of eight quarts of beer at
the City Cafe in February when
three of the crew of the Unalga
and woman were arrested. One
of the men arrested made an af-
fidavit that he had seen Packa-
bush with the package of beer en-
ter the Cafe, on which the latter
was arrested. Three witnesses
yesterday, including the defendant,
denied that Packabush had taken
any beer to the Cafe. The jury
was out about 45 minutes in re-
turning its verdict.
