N'''
 Kissing is one of the means by which diphtheria may be spread. Dr. Louis J. Dumont, superintendent of health, warned in a discussion Of that disease, published by him today.
 The health superintendent fixes the percentage of children between six months and five years or age susceptible to tho disease at N5 out of every 100, and he recommends prompt use of tn" preventive and curative remedies which he makes known.
 His paper on djphthcria is not prompted by q prevalence Of the disease, since records at the office of the health department show only four cases on record. His statement reads:
 Contagious and Infectious
 "Diptheria is an acute, contagious and infectious disease, which induces great anaemia and prostration. Diph- theria is a dangerous disease which IS easily spread from the sick to oth- CT persons unless great care is taken to keep it from spreading.

IN FUEL REVEALED
Chemical Society Told of
Tests of Flow in Starting
or AcceIerating.

A condition which many motorists
encounter IN starting cars, or even In
accelerating q warm motor which is
moving ut low speed, is explained by
DR.. Jarvis e. Miller and DR.. George
Granger Brown of the University Of
Michigan in report to the American
Chemical Society Of tests recently made
by them to determine how different
fuels affect engine performance.
During periods Of acceleration, par
ticularly with a cool motor or mani
fold, the amount of fuel delivered to
the cylinders Immediately after the
throttle is suddenly opened Is less than
that supplied to the manifold by the
carburetor," the report says. IF the
fuel sprayed into the air stream in the
carburetor is not completely vaporiZed
some OF the liquid particles settle out of
the air stream and deposit on the walls
Of the manifold, where their progress
from the carburetor to the cylinders is
much slower than that OF the air and
vaporized fuel.
when the throttle is suddenly
opened. the increased air flow reaches
the cylinders almost Immediately, a.
does the fuel which is vaporized and
carried in the air stream; but the
liquid fuel flowing along the walls of
the manifold does not reach the cylin-
ders until some time later.
las a result Of this precipitation of
the fuel on the walls of the manifold
the mixture reaching the cylinders i'm
mediately after the throttle is opened
contains less fuel than that mixture
metered by the carburetor into the
lower end of the manifold.
hn thRn1I0A
manifold Is at a relatively high rate,
part of the liquid fuel may reach the
cylinders in the form Of mist almost
Immediately after the throttle is
opened. But when the velocity Of the
mixture through the manifold Is low,
as when attempting to accelerate the
motor from low engine speed, the air
stream may not carry much suspended
liquid, and the mixture reaching the
cylinders may be so lean in gasoline
as to be beyond the explosive limits"

MOTORISTS IGNORE
WEATHER HAZARDS
Maryland Vehicle Commissioner
Notes Many Faults in Every

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, June 2I-Trafic OBJ
eervations show that operators Of motor
vehicles fail to take into proper con-
sideration the hazards imposed by
weather conditions, according to Z.
Austin Baughman, motor vehicle COM
missioner.
In general, he says, operators are
prone to proceed at too great rates of
speed to be able to stop within the
distance they can actually see along the
highway.
Even when q vehicle Is equipped
with q windshield wiper, operators
should realize that their field of vision
is limited to a comparatively small
area" he declared. In addition to the
dangerous restriction of vision, every
pavement Is slippery and brakes are re-
duced in efficiency, due to the lessened
tractive friction between the tires and
the road surface
Every operator should be prepared to
cope with these hazards caused by
weather conditions. Rain or fog re-
quires greater caution and alertness, be-
cause the vision is limited, effectiveness
of brakes retarded and vehicles harder
70 control, owing to slippery conditions
THE glass parts of vehicles may be-
come coated with water, which OBJ
scures the vision of the operator Rain
drops refract the light rays and pre-
vent clear vision. The highway on
rainy night becomes an area Of black
ness full of glistening shadows, where
danger TO life and limb may lurk I'M
seen unless one is constantly on the
alert.
1T should be clearly evident TO any
thoughtful person that weather con-
ditions are not the cause Of highway
accidents, but, rather, that such acct
dents occur because and through the
carelessness of the users Of the high
ways not displaying the caution de-
manded and necessary by such condi-
tons"

SUPPORT URGED
FOR TRAFFIC LAWS
Motorists Association FavorS Hoo
yer Uniform Vehicle Code and
Model Ordinance.

Support of motorists throughout the
United States for the speedy enactment
Of the Hoover uniform vehicle code
and the model traf1c ordinance was
urged here last week by the legislative
committee of the American Motorists
Association.
Despite the fact that the uniform
vehicle code was formulated four years
ago, but three States have enacted the
code in its entirety" declares Thomas
j. Keefe general manager of the A. M.
A., in pointing out the need for definite
action for it's adoption. The so-called
Model Traffic Ordinance was forn1u-
lated two years ago and to date but 30
cities have enacted ordinances In uni
formity with the model
The need for uniformity in both
State and city trafic laws is apparent to
every one" the associations statement
declares. state and city ofhcials should
receive the united support of every mo-
tortst in the adoption Of uniform laws;
thus ending, as soon as possible, the
chaotic conditions under which motor
lists, touring from one State to another,
must necessarily travel"
AS an example, typical Of conditions
throughout the country, the A. M. A.
manager cites the recent experiment
made by the Department Of Commerce
in attempting strict observance of the
multiplicity of traf11c laws. The expert
ment showed that a motorist, thorough
ly familiar with traffic laws In Washing
ton, broke 289 trafic regulations in driv-
ing to New York, a distance of $40 miles,
yet drove strictly in accordance with the
rules and regulations here.
THE uniform State vehicle code and
the model municipal traffic ordinance is
the composite result of the best minds
of several hundred trafic experts. Uni
formity of regulations is greatly needed.
The best possible proof is the $500
dead and 100000 injured in 1929 by
automobiles. Much of this toll was due
to unattended violations Of trafic regu-
lations, either on the part of motorists
or pedestrians" the A. M. A. statement
concludes.

MUCH ACHIEVED
WITH ROAD FUNDS
South Carolina Furnishes Ex-
/ ample of JudiciouS
Expenditures.

Just what may be accomplished by
Judicious use Of road funds is well
Illustrated in South Carolina. Re-
Gently contracts were awarded, in one
day. for the construction of about 300
miles OF roads-a letting which prob
ably exceeds any from the time of
Appius Claudius to the present.
How q small State such as South
Carolina can undertake such a remark
able project is, after ALL q simple story.
Some years ago her sister State of
North Carolina inaugurated q bond is
sue road building program. Roughly,
100000 in bonds was sold by North
Carolina, bonds that are financed with
out extra taxation, for they are being
retired by gasoline tax income.
Sick by Changes.
The changes that came over North
Carolina were so striking and signifi-
cant that South Carolina decided to
DO likewise; Accordingly, last year
South Carolina adopted a SIS, 00O, 900
bond issue. The recent contract is the
first to be made in this bond issue pro-
gram
South Cardinals bonds also are to
be retired by the gasoline tax, which,
In that State, is six cents a gallon. At
first this tax brought forth some criti-
cism, particularly on the part of those
not familiar with road conditions in
South Carolina. But these Carolinians
have determined that the six-cent gas
tax is far less burdensome than the
mud tax and upkeep bill on inferior
roads.
More To Be Completed.
South Carolina expects to complete
some 500 miles of roads this year. In
cluded In the recent contract were ~
sections Of road, many Of which will
Eli in gaps between important roads
and towns.
Bond issues similar to that of South
Carolina permit mass construction, with
consequent lower prices and lessened
Inconvenience to motorists. Because of
the fact that bond issues permit i'm
mediate construction, greater highway
usage is obtained during the period
equivalent to the lifetime Of the bonds.
South Carolina is in reality compact
ing several years construction into
one year-ano the motorist Of today
will be using the highways today,

AUTOS WORK HARDEST
IN SUMMER TRAVEL
Motorists Cautioned in Handling of
Cars Under Unusually Strained
Condition.

Motorists, in general, do not appre-
ciate the increased performances de-
manded from their automobiles while
driving in the Summer months.
After using their cars in the lighter
trsfflc during the Winter, they fall into
the more onerous warm weather streams
OF automobiles without estimating Sc
we're strains placed upon their power
plants. Quick acceleration, hard driving
and maximum loading demand the
greatest performance from engines over
long periods of time.
In addition Summer motorists think
OF oil changes and other motor care In
terms of elapsed time. Whereas weeks
might be spent in driving 500 miles dur
ing the Winter, that same distance may
b. covered in few days of warm
weather driving or three times that dis
lance may be driven within a compare
lively brief period.
