URGES elimination
OF HIGHWAY HAZARDS
Rudolph Jose Cites Proper Main
tenance Of Motor Headlights as
Among Chief Duties.

The maintenance Of mtor car head
lights in constant adjustment to obviate
the discomfort and hazard resultant
upon lack of focus is a duty incumbent
upon every automobile owner.
So says Ruloph Jose, veterans motor
car dealer, who declares that there can
be no exceptions to this rule, since
driving becomes safe only in proper
ton to the extent to which all danger
Gus factors are eliminated"
Failure to maintain ones lights In
the best possible condition both as to
brilliancy and focus is a distinct act
of unfairness. Mr.. Jose believes, for In
doing so one imposes on others a hard
ship he himself would be unwilling to
bear.
ut Is safe to say that scarcely any
motoriSt does not recognize ill-focuSed
headlights as definite motoring evil"
says Mr.. Jose. HE needs only to re-
call his own unpleasant experiences
which were caused by binding glare
from cars approaching on a street or
highway to realize the discomfort and
potential danger which can result.
Knowing the evil, he should be the more
willing to correct it in his own case.
There will be found individuals,
however, who rant about the glare of
headlights on the cars of other drivers
but who take no steps even to find out
If their own lights are glazing. They
are quick to demand adjustment for all
others. but for themselves the evil does
not seem to exist.
This is where the unfairness is In
stanced. The adage that what is sauce
for the goose is sauce for the gander
was spoken TO express Just such a type
of unfair conduct. Motoring, after all,
is an individual matter. Regulations
may be passed with collective objec-
tiveS, but the remedy for our traf1c
evils ultimately must come from the
individual. So 1t is with glaring head
lights. Until every motoriss thinks as
much of the possible Inconvenience and
hazard his own lamps can cause, head.

AUTO|STS FORESEE
GASOLINE
Association Charges Hard
ship Is Imposed in Tariff Bill
Now Before Congress.

Opposition to the proposal of the
petroleum industry for a so per cent
ad valorem duty on gasoline in the
new tariff measure now being conSid-
cred by Congress was voiced here this
week by the American Motorists AS
ISOLATION.
THE imposition of such tariff duty
San mean but one thing to the millions
OF motorists Of the country, who annu-
ally use upward of $4,000 100000 gal
Ions of gasoline, or more than 80 per
cent of the total gasoline production, -
declared Thomas j. Keefe, general man
ager of the A. M. A.
Producers Theory Outlined.
'"The theory under which the pro-
ducers are asking Congress to write
into the new tariff act duty of almost
100 per cent on crude petroleum and
so per cent ad valorem duty on gaso-
line is that they need this protection
to avert determination at the hands of
foreign oil Interests, according to testi-
mony given before the House ways and
means committee by the spokesman for
the petroleum producers.
1.-THE absurdity of this assertion is
apparent when viewed in the light of
the fact that the gasoline imports an
nually are approximately but per cent
OF the total production in the United
States" Keefe declared.
1.-THE A. M. A. also takes issue with
the testimony given the committee to
the effect that an oil tariff would not
raise the price of gasoline to consumers,
but would raise only the price Of crude
oil received by the producers"
Cited as Mere Promise"
The statement continues:
THE promise OF the producers to
keep faith with the consumer and not
increase the price of gasoline if Con-
gress will give them the protective tariff.
at the most, is only a promise and
would not be binding upon a single
producer. The motoring public can
have no guarantee that the price of
gaoline will not be increased. An an
alysiS of all protective tariffs shows that
the protection either tends to increase
the price of the commodity protected
or stiles natural competition and pre-
vents a. decrease in prices.
Export figures for 1929 show that
the petroleum industry exported more
than seven times as much gasoline as
1t imported. Imports during the year
constituted but "a per cent of the total
gasoline production. In 1928 imports
were less than 2 per cent of the pro-
auction. In view of these figures il is
difhcult to share the petroleum indus
try's fear that they face determination
because of its bugaboo foreign conpetj-
ZION, which amounts to but approxi-
mateiy per cent of the total produce

TIGHTER REGULATIONS
OF TOLL BRIDGES AIMED
Bill by Representative Denison
Would Give States Voice Be-
fore Approval bv II. 8.

Stringent regulations would be thrown
around toll bridge franchises granted
by Congress, under bill introduced by
MiepresentatlVe E. z. Denison, Repub-
lican, Illinois, in which it is pronoSed
to give State authorities a voice in in
quiries preliminary to final approval.
Ihls statement was issued today by
national headquarters of the American
Automobile Association, which has con-
sistently advocated that adequate safe
guards of the public interest be in
cluded in such franchises.
The national motoring body pointed
out that the Denison bill would assure
an inquiry into proposed bridges, pre-
vent overcapitalization and provide for
eventual recapture for public use With
out tolls.
The A. A. A. said that hearings before
the House committee on interstate and
foreign commerce, which are anticipated
in the near future, are expected to set
the wheels in motion for beneficial
legislation governing future private toll
bridges.

RADIATOR CARE.
Boiling Alcohol often Mistaken for
Frozen System.

II alcohol is your anti-freeze solu-
ton, here is a tip. Do not cover the
radiator while the motor is running.
I've seen lots of fellows driving about
with blankets over their radiators and
their cars giving of steam like a loco
motive. They were under the impress
sion that the circulation system was
frozen. But as a matter of fact the
steam was caused by the boiling of the
alcohol. The boiling point of alcohol
is 173 degrees Fahrenheit, while water
boils at 2l2 degrees Fahrenheit. Thus
1t is apparent that a motor must oper-
ate at considerably lower temperature
when alcohol is in the radiator. Re-
move whatever covering you have on
the radiator when the engine Is warm.

Rich American Youths Will
Take Voyage Into
TropiC Seas.
BY PAUL HARRISON
NEA Service Writer

NEW YORK, June 26.-Count
Felix Won Luckner, the benevolent
buccaneer who rayaged allied ship
ping during the war, is spreading
his sails again, ready to cruise into
the tropical Atlantic and colorful
Caribbean. He will explore little
known places and delve into strange
waters, but his only captures on this
trip will be adventure and romance
and memories.
For the Sea Devil must live, and
he has taken a VOW to make his
living only from the sea. That is
why his crew, for the most part,
will be made up of rich mems sons
who can pay for the privilege of be-
coming dude pirates" under the
counts command. The voyage will
last two months.
His darling" the blonde and
pretty little countess, smiled a con-
f1rmation of his declaration of in
dependence and went on painting
green wicker furniture on the quar-
ter deck of the Mopelia, their four
masted schooner.
Won't Touch Fortune
In her native Sweden the count
esS has a considerable fortune,
which Won Luckner refuses to touch.
So she is content to live on the ship,
do the marketing, help entertain his
hosts of friends, and try to keep
her giant husband dressed in some
thing resembling the requirements
of convention.
Won Luckner emerged from the
war lieutenant commander in the
German navy, a nautical hero and
an advocate of peace. Popular SUBJ
scription, mostly the pfennigs con-
tributed by adoring school children,
bought him his present schooner,
Mopelia, for a goodwill cruise of
the world.
Named after the coral atoll where
his raider was wrecked during the
war by a tidal wave, the Mopelia
by big steel net that is sixty feet
length, originally built in Hoquiam,
Wash, as lumber carrier.
Calls Ship Glorious
She carries $4,000 square feet of
canvass and two auxiliary Diesel en-
gines of 500-horse power each.
Completely overhauled for this de
luxe cruise, she now has comfort
able, modern cabins, two dining
salons, lounges and the largest re-
frigeration system ever installed in
a sailing vessel.
"a glorious Ship" doomed Won
Luckner. Graceful and gentle, she
is, like fine lady, yet strong, too,
by Joe! We were in the Miami
hurricane, and while three other
ships sank, we didn't even get wa
ter on the deck.
1.-THE boys will get strong on this
cruise. Even before breakfast they
will swim in the open sea, guarded
by a big steel net that go feet wide
wide by $50 feet long.
Makes EN- Strong
Then they will raise our sails.
That is good for them. People say
to me: How are you so strong?
How do you tear telephone books in
two?' I say: Because I pull the
ropes. I hoist the sails
Three boys on this cruise now
can not get into West Point because
they must have another inch of
chest expansion. BY joe, they will

islands, will be about 5000 nautical
