Motorists.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 15.-There
is an average of one unrotected
grade crossing to every fourteen
miles Of highway Of all types in the
United States. Despite advances in
other fields of safety, the number
is being increased at the rate of
more than 1000 year.
This statement was issued today
by the safety department of the
American Automobile Association, in
the form Of an appeal to road
building agencies tie give added con-
Sideration to the grade crossing
evil and its threat to life and prop
erty, in locating new highways, as
we'll as changing existing routes.
The national motoring body bases
its statement on a total of 2l0,074
unprotected grade crossings and ap-
proximately 100000 miles of high
ways of all types throughout the
country.
During the year 1928" says the
A. A. A, there was a total of 5,046
grade crossing accidents involving
automobiles, with a death toll OF
2,165 and 6,218 persons injured
Hardly a day passes without news
paper headlines telling Of death and
suffering caused by some grade
crossing accident.
"One of the most hopeful signs
is the intensive drive to eliminate
grade crossings from the federal aid
system, comprising the major inter
state highways. A total Of 800 was
eliminated on this system in 1928
Of this number, LOT were taken off
by use of an underpasS in separat-
ing grades, and 233 by relocation of
highways.

bW 1meS SDectdt
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The
contest board of the American Au-
tomobile Association has issued an
official sanction for an attempt by
Kaye Don, British racing driver,
to shatter the existing automobile
speed record of 23l.447 miles an
hour, established last year at
Daytona Beach, Fla, by Major H.
o. D. Segrave.
The governing body Of racing has
been advised that Don plans to sail
for the United States within the
the next ten days, arriving at Day.
tona Beach about March, /. He will
make his try for the record between
March Is and 80.
The speed test will be run under
ically- balanced crankshafts, mount
ed on seven main bearings.
Positive fabrication through drilled
passages is maintained at all engine
speeds by a full-preSsure system
served by a pump operated from the
camShaft.
The Imperial, largest and finest
Chrysler-built car, is offered in a
wide selection of colors, and repre-
sentS the fullest development OF
many features responsible for Chrys-
Ter success. The line consists OF
nine models-every body being Gus
tom built.
For the first time, Chrysler is
displaying six-cylinder car in the
"66" line, priced under $1,000 at
the factory. A 68-horse power
engine with a piston diplace-
ment of 2186 cubic inches is
offered on these models, which
represent outstanding value in per-
Torrance and appearance in their
price class. Six models compose the

HEAT INDICATOR NEW
Graham Cars Use Scientific Device
to Register Temperature.

A new type of engine heat tndi-
Gator has been adopted for Graham
cars. 1t is based on the principle
of the electric thermo-couple, used
in scientific heat measurements.
AS the temperature of the water
in the cylinder jacket varies, the
electrical resistance of the couple,
installed in the engine block, also
changes and the temperature is in
dicated on the dash dial by an in
strument resembling an ammeter.
The only connection between the
engine and the dial is flexible wire,
instead of delicate tube contain
ing a LIQUID.

Shifting NOiseless
Noiseless shifting between the two
higher gears may be made by flick
of the control lever while the car is
travelling at any speed. The gear
shift Is standard with nothing new
for the driver to learn. The shift
can be made from the driving range
into the acceleration range when
unmatched pickup is needed to pass
slower traffic or to dart through an
opening in congested city streets.
Swift acceleration up to sixty
miles an hour is possible with the
"acceleration range" while the
driving range" is a direct drive
giving high car speed with compar-
atively slow engine speed. Some
conception of the results with this
type of gear shift may be gained
from the performance of the TT"
models, which make 1858 engine
revolutions while travelling one mile
Engines in average three-speed
transmissions turn as many as $40
more revolutions in the same dis
lance. In an average seasons drive
of 10000 miles, 100000 revolu-
tions are saved at corresponding re-
auctions in fuel consumption and
engine wear.
Fuel Flow Downward

other revolutionary Chrysler feature,

models. With this carburetion

fuel pump and new manifold insure
