TRAFFIC SAFETY
CAMPAIGN URGED
Henry Declares Vigilance Is Re-
quired if Toll Of Accidents
Is to Be Cut.

The dawn Of 1880 finds the country
still confronted with highly unsatis-
factory condition as regards the ques-
ton of safety on the streets and high
ways, according to Thomas P. Henry,
president Of the American Automobile
Association.
Pointing out that approximately
10000 deaths and more than 100000
personal injuries will represent the toll
for 1929, Mr.. Henry appealed for the
wholesale mobilization Of national re-
sources for a determined battle for
safety in 1880.
Only through careful driving on the
part Of every individual motorist can
the situation be remedied. he asserted.
and it behooves all, car owners ana
pedestrians alike, to resolve to make
1880 a year of safety. He continued:
Although the human element re-
mains the strongest factor in the field
Of national safety, there is much that
can be accomplished in overcoming the
conditions that contribute to deaths
and accidents.
Diversity in traffic rules and regu-
lations is one Of these. It results In
the motorist finding himself in a maze
of unfamiliar rules and plays no small
part in subsequent accidents. To over
come this the National Conference on
Street and Highway Safety has pro-
mulgated the uniform vehicle code and
the model municipal traffic ordinance
Together they offer one Of the most
hopeful signs in the direction of safety
To date % States have enacted legis-
lation based upon the code, while scores
of cities are reaping the benefits OF
the model ordinance.
"A greater measure of safety can also
be built into our highways by elm
mating dangerous curves and grades;
by protecting hazardous railroad cross
ings and programs to eliminate those
most dangerous; bottle-necks at the
entrance to cities can be widened: traf-
fic diverted into arteries where travel
is less heavy, all Of these being factors
against safety"
Other safety factors, he said, include
curb on the reckless and the In
toxicated driver and periodic inspection
of brakes and headlights.

100000 Defective
AUTOS ON HIGHWAYS
Public Safety Menaced by Condi-
ton, Says Bulletin of Re-
search Foundation.

CHICAGO, January 1.-Two million
automobiles are travelling the highways
Of the United States in a defective con-
dition that constitutes menace to tire
public safety, according to q bulletin
issued here by the American Research
Foundation.
Defective equipment on these motor
cars ranges from faulty brakes to i'm
proper lights and defective steering
mechanism" says the bulletin. But Of
these, faulty brakes are by far the worst
offenders.
Estimates Of the number of auto
mobile accidents attributable directly to
improperly maintained cars show wide
diversity. Many reporting agencies
agree that from to per cent of all
the automobile deaths annually are di-
rectly due to faulty maintenance. But
over and above this Is an indefinite per-
centage, estimated by some authorities
as high as IS or 80 per cent, of acct
dents In which faulty brakes or other
defective equipment are important con-
tr1buting causes. Many accidents
ascribed to failure to observe the right
Of way at intersections are in reality
caused by inability Of the driver to stop
quickly because his brakes were not in
good condition.
Brakes bear the greatest burden OF
any working mechanism of the average
car In these days Of fast driving, traffic
congestion and quick stops. Careful
maintenance of the brakes, with tests
and adjustments at least once eacf
month, is the best insurance against the
accident hazard. Many safety expert;
recommend also that after every 10000
miles of driving the brake drums should
be trued UP and the brakes refined"

TIRE SERVICE SHOP
ADOPTS REMINDER
Cards Sent Customers Each Satur-
day, Asking "Have You Tested
Your Tire Pressuree"

Dentists have been doing 1t for years
Why not tire doctors2 So reasoned the
owner Of tire service shop In Middle
Western town who found himself weary
of abiding perfectly good rubber when
the real trouble was in the heads Of his
absent-minded customers.
Within month this service man had
three requests for adjustment in cases
where the real trouble was the failure
of the motorist to keep his tires prop
erly inflated. theoretically, OF course
the customer Is always right. But prac-
tically, the service man decided, 1t would
save lot of trouble, expense and hard
feeling all around II some method could
be found of reinforcing his customers
memory. A method was found-a very
simple one-and 1t works.
Every Saturday morning the Gus
toner gets post card in the mail with
nothing on 1t except the scrawleo
query, Have you tested your tire pres
sures?" and the stamped signature OF
the tire shop. Sometimes the customer
needs the suggestion and sometimes he
does not. But he is always grateful
and IL he does learn to check up al
least once week on his tire pressures
he stands an excellent chance Of
doubling the wear of his rubber.
It Is estimated that improper inf1a.
ton causes 80 per cent OF premature
tire failures.
This particular dealer now has about
80 of his regular customers on his
'"tickler list" The cost of this new
wrinkle in tire service Is negligible and
is more than paid for by increased sales
of tire gauges, caps and valve insides
And the increment Ct good will, popu-
larity and new business is invaluable.

1929 PARK VISITORS
BREAK ALL RECORDS
Yosemite, Plat, Rocky Mountain
and Yellowstone Continue
to Lead.

Travel to the national parks and
monuments broke ali records In 1929
and motorists comprised by far the
larger number of those enjoying the
scenic and historic outdoors, according
to George z. Keneipp, manager of the
District of Columbia Division Of the
American Automobile Association.
MIR. Keneipp said the total for both
parks and monuments was 3,24S,264.
and was 3,42o above the 1928 figures.
"Of this number" he said, "2.6so,5s7
visited the national parks and 567,667
the monuments, compared to 2,522,1s8
entering the parks in 1928 and 5o2, 656
visiting the monuments.
eleven, or more than half of the
national parks. passed the 100000
mark, the Hawaii Park for the first
time Substantial increases in travel
also were shown in Yellowstone. Sequoia.
Crater Lake, Glacier, Rocky Mountain
and Grand Canyon National Parks. The
new national parks, Bryce Canyon and
Grand Teton, had, respectively. 2l,997
and $500 visitors. The principal in
creases in travel to the national monu-
ments were at Carlsbad Cave, Capulin
Mountain, Casa Grande, Devils Tower.
Papago Sagraro, Pipe Springs and

tarting, or until oil again reaches the

starting, or until oil again reaches the
cylinder walls.
It should be emphasized that under
no circumstances should the engine OF
a new automobile be raced. BY racing
Is meant the opening Of the throttle or
pressing down on the accelerator pedal
and allowing the engine to run at a
very high rate Of speed while the car
Is standing still. The admonition Is
particularly important In cold weather
when the lubricating materials are
somewhat thtckened, for then 1t re-
quires a few minutes Of running before
the oil is warmed to o point where 1t
will thoroughly cover the bearings and
rubbing surfaces.
Lack Of fabrication.
One familiar with the mechanism Of
motor car can readily see that, when
the engine is raced soon after 1t is
started, it is possible to create a con-
siderable amount Of friction without
proper fabrication. The result will be
the running of q highly polished bear
| ing surface so essential to long wear
and satisfactory service. This Is par
ticularly true Of piston and cylinder
wall bearing surfaces and Is contrib
utory cause Of piston slaps.
Warning should be given to all auto
mobile drivers to be sure never to start
an automobile motor in q garage with
the doors closed. To do this Is almost
certain death, as the carbon monoxide
fumes can not readily escape into the
open air and are deadly poison to hui
man lungs II by chance the self
starter refuses to work, 1t will be nee
essary to use the starting crank to get
the engine under way. In using such a
crank, always pull upward on it. If
by chance the engine should backflre
when pushing downward on this crank,
a broken wrist is likely to handicap
the success Of an automobile expert
ence.
The headlights and parking lights Of
various ways, but usually by some lever
or button convenient to the driver
when seated at the wheel. There are
usually three ways OF using the lights.
One Is for parking purposes. These
are smaller lights and are designed so
as to indicate the location of the auto
mobile in the dark, and at the same
time consume q minimum of electricity.
The parking lights show two white
lights ahead, one on each side of the
car and one red light In the rear.
For travelling after dark there are
two larger lights. one on each side of
highway ahead sufficiently to drive
without inconvenience during the night
When these lights are on, the red light
In the rear Is also showing. There Is
usually simple device for turning on
the parking lights and and for switch
ing from the parking lights to the
larger lights for night driving. When
these larger lights are on the parking
lights are of.
