American Association Urges
Study Of Traffic Needs
to Meet Rush.

There will be approximately $4,000.
600 motor vehicles registered In the
United States by 1890, more than the
number In the entire world today, and
| 1t is imperative that streets and high.
ways be utilized 10 handle the maxi
mum 60W OF tra1ic.
This statement was broadcast today
by national headquarters of the Ameri.
can Automobile Association, in the form
of an appeal to its more than 1000
Affiliations throughout the country to
study the trafic needs Of their com.
munities with the view to aiding this
far-reaching program.

president OF the A. A. A., and owen 3.

with the appeal to member clubs.
Briefly, IL provides:
Eliminate Parking.
/. Securing maximum or peak travel
of lanes, eliminating parking and tim
ing Of trafac signals, In order to give
the rigft-of-way to the largest volume
of trafic.
2. Adequate study of traffic needs,
with the idea of eliminating bottle
necks, points of congestion and dis
tributing traffic to secure efficiency in
movement
8. Development and use of streets
and highways adjacent to the present
main-tfaveled arteries.
4. Widening Of highways and Segre-
maximum trafic warrants this step and
after every effort has been made to Sc
cure peak travel on existing arteries.
Based on Normal RISE.
The A. A. A. estimate Of the number
of motor vehicles In 1870 Is based On
the normal increase In registration over
the past few years and Is declared 10
be extremely conservative.
Mr.. Augspurger sounded the keynote
Of the discussion on trafne congestion
when he appealed for the utilizing Of
existing trafic arteries by eliminating
the causes Of congestion. While con-
ceding that widening Of highways is the
solution Of the problem In Chicago,
Cleveland, Buffalo and many other
metropolitan centers. he pointed out
that the need for the country as
whole Is an adequate study and secur-
ing Of facts with regard 70 the causes
Of congestion, for the benefit Of cities
and towns without the aid Of regional
plans.
The initial step In this direction was
taken at the first session Of the A. A. A.

The spark plug IL o very small part
Of the automobiles mechanism. In
fact, it is % small and has been made
| so reliable that many motorists have
overlooked it entirely.
Improvement in motor design and
in the spark plug itself have brough,
the working Of this important engine
part to such high degree Of perfec-
ton that many Of the troubles which
at one time were quite usual are nov
unknown. It u not now unusual for
cars to be driven 5000 miles or even
10000 miles without it becoming neceS-
essary to clean q spark plug.
Because It needs so little attention
the niotorist Is likely to be unfamiliar
with the spark plugs construction and
uncertain as to how to cure its Ills
when trouble does develop.
The spark plug consists Of O metal
shell which Is threaded to screw into
the cylinder Of the engine. Into this
shell Is placed q porcelain" tnsulator,
which has metal spindle running
brought close to q projection from the
shell Of the plug and these two points
form q gap across which the spark
occurs inside Of the cylinder.
Must Complete Circuit.
The electric current can travel only
when IL has complete circuit--that
Is, 1t must be able to get back where
II started from. In the spark plug
circuit It starts from the induction coil
and travels on q wire which Is heavily
insulated with rubber to the center
spindle of the spark plug. 1t follows
this spindle into the cylinder, and
there jumps to the projection on the
spark plug base, giving spark as it
crosses the gap. From the base Of the
plug 1t travels through the metal of
the engine back 10 the induction coil
from which 1t started.
In order to jump the gap at the
points" of the plug it is necessary
that the electric current have a very
high pressure, as this gap offers some
resistance to its travel. It is to keep
this high-tension current from jump
ing ct any place except the points that
the insulator is employed In the spark
plug.
conductors of this current, and II
water gets on the insulator outside OF
the cylinder the current may travel
through 1t to the metal of the cylinder
and not jump the points In the plug
at ALL Likewise. II carbon collects
on the part Of the insulator which
projects into the cylinder the current
may pass through 1t instead of jump
ing the gap. If 1t does not jump the
gap no spark will occur.
When splasfing through puddles oil

Maryland Police Announce Result
of Effort to Enforce Four
Traffic Lane Rules.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, October ia cam
paign by State police to rigidly enforce
the four-trafflc lane regulation on Ger
tain highways resulted in the arrest of
over hundred motorists this week, ac-
cording to a report of Capt. Harry C.
Butler of the State police.
The majority of the arrests were
made along the widened section of the
Washington boulevard, but Capt. But
Ter said general campaign is in prog
reSS by State police to enforce that
section of the law on all State high
ways.
The regulation requires motorists to
keep to the extreme right of the road
the two middle lanes being reserved for
passing other machines going In the
same direction. 1t was adopted by the
last Legislature.
This clause of the law supplants the
old motor-vehicle law compelling driv-
ers to keep only to the right Of the
center of the road and is aimed to aid
in preventing congestion on highways
sufficiently wide to maintain four Sepa-
rate traffic lanes.
The police have been ordered to ar
rest all motorists failing to keep within
the right-hand lane on the boulevard
except when passing other cars.
Large signs have been placed at In
tervals along this thoroughfare by tht
State Roads Commission, warning. drtv'

hand lane, which is formed by the ad
dition of the 10-foot concrete shoulders

SAVING ON GOOD
ROADS TABULATED
Highways Declared Paying
Investment to Motorists.
Figures Found.

Further proof that good roads are q
paying investment from the highway
users point of view is shown in an
analysis of automobile operation costa
on various types Of highways now being
studied by the highway finance coma
mittee of the American Road Builders
Association.
The average automobile owner may
prefer not to know what his per mile
operating cost actually amounts to, but
he is surely interested in knowing how
much he saves by driving on improved
roads, also the difference In cost Of
operating various types Of cars and the
savings accruing in each case as the re-
suit of highway improvement.
Data used by the committee Is OBJ
tanned from many sources, much Of 1t
furnished by Agg g. Carter.
Resistance Reduced.
Tractive resistance, which amounts to
1000 pounds per ton when car is
mired, is quickly reduced by improved
roads, the analysis shows. This resist
ance of the surface against the vehicle
movement is figured for year-around
operation at an average 35-mile speed.
as follows:
Pounds per ton.
High type (paved surfaces) .'............ 10
intermediate type Created surfaces) -. ll0
Low type (soil and gravel surfaces) ..... 100
Wind resistance may increase slight
Iy the actual cost of operation ON the
good surfaces, as the natural tendency
of traffic is to maintain higher speed
there, effecting saving of time but
adding to the wind resistance.
The average relative gasoline con-
sumption, determined from reported en-
CINE tests and actual measurements on
the road, showed that where q vehicle
will travel Is miles to the gallon on
high type surface, 1t will require Ia
gallons of gasoline on the intermediate
type, and lat gallons on the low%ype
road surface for the same distance!
All Factors Considered.
From detailed cost records reported on
about 800 automobiles operated in vari-
Gus parts of the United States, figures
were prepared taking all factors into
consideration, showing the average cost
Of automobile operation over all types Of
surfacing to be, in cents per mile:
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-10-20

Amount Of Saving.
The saving shown In operation Of such
average automobiles due to road i'm
provement Is, where low-type roads are
changed to intermediate type, LOT cents
per mile, where intermediate type is
changd to high type, 0.99 cents per
mile, and where low type is changed to
high type, 2.06 cents per mile.
The cost tables range from IL cents
per mile. the cost of operation Of a
"heavy SIX over low-type roads, down
to $40 cents, the cost Of operating a
light four" over high-type roads. This
gives a conservative figure for the light
est car and the best road conditions OBJ

Dangerous Practice.

Many drivers who want to get the
last mile out Of old tires put them on
the front wheels, because they get less
wear there, but this Is not wise, be-
cause the blowout Of front tire is
much more dangerous than the sudden
collapse of a rear one.

Among the various items of operating
cost, road condition is shown to have no
effect on license, garage, interest and

maintenance and in depreciation of
automobiles as the type of road becomes
poorer is in somewhat the same ratio
as the increase in gasoline consumption.
shown above.
Tire Cost Greatest.
In cost of tires and tubes comes the
greatest increase, and it is estimated
that where 81 is expended for this item
on high-type roads the cost is more
than double on Acknowledgment roads,

roads, or $3.50.
