DETROIT, Mich, June IA (N.ANA.). .
The automobile industry is mourning
the loss of two of its pioneer leaders
Andrew L. Riker and Coker r. Clark
son. Both men were identified officially
with the Society of Automotive Engi-
neers during its formative years. Mr..
Riker was the organizations first presi-
dent, while Mr.. Clarkson had been its
general manager for 2l years.
The name of Riker will go down In
automotive history with that Of Henry
Ford, the Duryea Brothers, Elwood
Haynes and Ransom Z. Olds as among
those who laid the corner stones of
what is now the Nations greatest in
dustry.
Mr.. RickerS end came suddenly from
a heart attack, following his attendance
at the silver anniversary celebration Of
the s. A. E, at French Lick Springs
two weeks ago. Mr.. Clarkson. i'll for a
long period, was unable to be there and
the engineers honored him with a felic-
itous message in which his long years
Of service were recalled.
Spoke on Diesel.
One Of many oracular utterances
credited to Andrew Lawrence Riker
during his life was delivered at the
French Lick meeting. Participating in
a discussion Of Diesel engine possibil-
tiles. he said:
Unless one can equal or better the
acceleration of the gasoline engine by
using q Diesel engine in a car, it will
not be satisfactory in that service"
For this insight, he had background
of experience with automotive vehicles
that went back more than forty years
In 1884, when he was 16 years old, he
built an electric tricycle., each rear
wheel Of which was operated by bat
terry Although this was considered
more or less Of a toy, it ran.
After graduating from college, he
continued his experiments and produced
anther self-propelled vehicle composed
of two bicycles. These he joined to-
gether with axles. The motor was
mounted behind the seat and the bat
terry hung below the rear axle.
This machine put him definitely intC
the manufacture of electric cars, anC
the next one he built was a four.
wheeled vehicle that won what wa.
said to be the first automobile race
ever held on a track.
The race took place at Nsrraganset
Park, near Providence, r. l. The con.
test was for five miles of three heat
each. The Riker car won two heat,
and was only one second behind the
winner of the third trial
In 1897 number Of vehicles o.

the "dos-a-dos" type, in which front
and rear passengers sat back to back,
appeared. Two years later the Riker
Motor Vehicle Co. was organized and
cars Of all types up to f1ve-ton trucks
we're manufactured. One of these was
credited with winning q road race on
Long Island.
Changed to Gas.
Quitting the electric field in 1902,
Mr.. Riker transferred his activities to
the Locomobile Co.. which in that year
brought out its first gasoline-dr driven
duction. The gas cars won places in
the second and fourth Vanderbilt Cup
races of 1905 and 1908, respectively.
Development of the Locomobile con-
tinued with Mr.. Riker as chief engi-
neer until 1t was rated among the high
class cars of that period and for years
after. During that time he also de-
signed one Of the first worm drive
trucks.
The Riker leadership of the Society
OF Automotive Engineers began in 1905,
when he was chosen president, with
Henry Ford as first vice president. The
organization consisted of only 80 mem
bers, but soon increased to so. In
recent years it has grown to more than
1000 members, divided in 81 sections.
with headquarters In the chief cities
Of the country.
With this expansion the name of
Coker F. Clarkson was associated since
1909. As secretary and editor for the
little engineering group of that dav
his engagement was made possible bv
the personal donations of Howard e
Coffin, noted engineer, and others. Mr..
CONN later became one of the main
figures in the Hudson Motor Car Co.
Opened Standards Division.
At that time, the S. A. e. was known
as the Society Of Automobile Engineers,
the change to "Automotive" coming
later after 1t had been decided to in
clude other engineering branches COW
ering various phases of transportation.
To Mr.. Clarkson was credited the idea
of separating the professional from the
commercial ideals in automotive prog
ress. 1t was largely due to him that
automotive design attained a definite
status comparable to architecture and
other skilled branches of creative
science.
1t was under his supervision also that
the s. A. E. standards division was
created. BY this, the various companies
manufacturing cars were led TO CO.
| ordinate basic measurements to allow
/ nter-changeability that stimulated
quantity production.
1t was by this process that tire and
rim sizes were brought to a common
basis of measurement for all COMPANIES
with the resulting operating convenience
for both car owners and service men
There are said to be now upwards Of
/ 1000 vehicle specifications to which the
trade conforms.

BACKING IS EASY
IF DONE PROPERLY
Drivers Who Find Parking
Hard Job Are Given De-
tailed Instructions.
BY RALPH HEPBURN,
Noted Racing Pilot.

Backing and parking are really easy
If done properly. 1 have seen so many
motorists experience difficulty with these
two simple driving practices that I am
impelled to go into them here at some
length. Likewise the turn that involves
backing up to complete it.
On approaching turn that involves
road slowly. Give the proper signal
and turn the wheel to the left. Gradu-
ally slow down as you reach the left
side Of the road, bat before you stop
swing the wheel to the right while the
car Is moving slowly. Stop. Put the
car in reverse without moving the wheel.
This permits all your attention to be
concentrated on direction and speed.
As you slow the car down prior to
stopping: again swing the wheel full
left. The motorist will find this an
easy way to accomplish this dificult
feat. Personally, find 1t much easier
to drive around the block to accomplish
the same thing.
To park Is so simple that I cannot
believe my eyes when I see a driver
going about it in the wrong way. Time
and again I have won bets that !
couldn't park against the curb where
there was only 2 feet more space than
the length of the car and bumpers
This can be done in one movement with
practice.
Drive past and parallel the car in
front of where you want to park Stop
with your car slightly ahead of the in
side car. This is judged by the turning
angle OF your car. Reverse, turning the
wheel full right until half way into the
curb. Then turn the wheel full left as
you slowly back in. 1t is necessary to
be careful to avoid hooking your right
fender or bumper In the rear of the car
in front Of you.
But while you are learning these les
sons OF driving, don't lose sight Of some
of the suggestions I gave you earlier in
this series. Particularly do I refer to
the one involving the use of the proper
grade OF gasoline and oil and proper
fabrication.

Safety education among both adults
and children and intelligent co-opera-
tion of motorists and pedestrians have
an equal place with uniform laws and
regulations, and their effective enforce
ment, in the solution of the traffic prob
lem and the prevention of accidents and
fatalities in the view of the third ma
tional conference on street and highway
safety.
The conference points out specifically
that solution of traffic evils does not rest
solely with uniform measures in hand
ling trafflc, or on the diligence of traf-
f1c officials. Users of the streets and
highways, whether on foot or in vehicles,
have an equal responsibility, the full
flllment OF which Is essential to ulti-
mate success in handling the problem.
Safety Education Essential.
Safety education in the schools and
among the public generally, it was
pointed out, is a basic and fundamental
necessity in dealing with the matter.
Cooperation between traffic authori-
ties and the public is described as the
first requisite in approaching the ques-
ton, and through which ultimately the
largest measure of success is to be at
tanned.
In discussing safety education and
plans for its conduct, the conference
said:
Almost from the advent of the auto
mobile organized efforts have been un-
der way for the education of highway
users in the special conditions and
problems of motor traffic. This has been
the fundamental purpose Of motor clubs
and their work, and their work in this
field has been steadily extended
"S9fptV councils and other cnooinl
organizations also have taken an i'm
portant part in this work. Business or
CARNATIONS, notably associations of COM
mon carrier transportation agencies, in
surance companies, and feet owners,
have carried on educational measures
directed both toward their employees and
toward the general public"
In urging safety, and the co-opera-
ton of every individual to this end, the
conference said further:
Strong emphasis should be given to
safety education in the schools Fatali-
ties to children under Is years of age in
traffic accidents should receive the seri-
Gus consideration of the school authori-
ties in every community, with view to
augmenting instruction in safety meth
odS and accident prevention in the
schools, and reducing this annual toll to
the lowest possible minimum.
0CnOOl auCnOr1JleS should join with
police officials in providing for the safety
OF children and compelling compliance
with traffic regulations in the vicinity
Of school buildings.
Education in safety and accident
prevention should be incorporated in
the curricula of elementary schools, both
public and private; parochial schools,
night schools, vocational schools, citi-
zenship schools and schools of non-Eng-
lish speaking adults and there also
should be carried on educational con-
tests, organized playground training
school safety patrols. Boy and Girl
Scouts, and Junior safety clubs"
The conference takes the position also
that safety education of a more ad-
vanced nature with study of traffic
matters, should be developed in Sec
ondary schools, normal schools, schools
