N-SCATTER GLASS.
IN CARS DEMANDED.
New York Legislator Seeks
Law to Reduce Number
of MiShapS.

Public officials throughout the coun-
try are becoming alive to the nlenacing
increase of motor vehicle accidents IN
the United States With more than
$1,000 taXicabs in operation on the
streets of New York City, for example,
Police Commissioner Grover Whalen
instituted an investigation which re-
suited in a regulation compelling all
New York City taxicabs seeking a
license after February is to be equip
ped with scatter-proof glass.
This is merely the foFefunner of q
series of legislative enactments, ac-
coraing to State Senator Duncan
OBrien, of New York. who is prepar-
ing q bill for introduction In the State
Legislature at Albany requiring all mo-
tor vehicles used for public transporta-
ton to be equipped with non-scattering
glass.
$1,000 Fatalities In Year.
Total accidents last year from motor
vehicles ran considerably over q mil
lion, $1,000 of which were fatal, an in
crease of los per cent over 1878, ac-
cording to the latest available insur-
ance statistics. With over $4,000. 900
vehicles on the road, it is quite evident
that even with proper observance CT
traflc laws some accidents are bound to
occur, but public officials and safety
engineers are busy obtaining infornnA-
tive records and analysing accident
facts in order 10 take precautionary
measures for minimizing the number of
motor accidents and the heavy percent
age of fatalities.
A recent analysis by the MasSa-
chusetts Mutual Liability Insurance As
ISOLATION of Boston showed that of
1000 motor accidents involving 1900
motorists, 100 people were injured. OF
these 467, or SIS per cent, were cut by
broken glass, the injuries varying from
slight cuts to severed jugular veins, re-
sulting in death.
BIames Traffic Congestion.
Lewis A. De Blois, chief safety engi-
neer of the National Bureau of Casualty
and Surety Underwriters, believes that
the congestion Of both foot and passen-
ger trafic in our great cities; the ten
dency to speed this trafilc up and to
depend on four wheel brakes for safety,
is accountable for so many people being
hurled into glass partitions and doors,
even when not actually involved in col
lisions.
Many motor car manufacturers have
had the foresight to adopt non-scatter-
ing glass equipment and are Offering
this additional factor Of safety before
legislation compels its use for public
protection. Statistics show the stern
reality of the peril and makers Of the
better cars are already predicting that
the use of laminated glass will shortly
be as standard as four wheel brakes.

RETURN OF OPEN CAR
FORESEEN BY MAKERS
Convertible Body Types Are Popu-
larized by Present-Day
Younger Generation.

First body style produced by the
automobile industry, later superseded
by the sedan and limousine, the open
car has within recent years given pro-
mise of an interesting renaissance.
The reasons are two-fold: First, q
newer generation, bare-headed and fur
coated, which openly courts the sun and
the wind-a generation brought up in
houses with windows through which old
superstitions about drafts and "humors"
in the air have blown away, leaving
saner minds in healthier bodies for the
enjoyment OF life.
The second reason is the manu-
featuring and design improvements
which the makers themselves have been
able to effect. The open car of today
with its storm proof top and glass
windows in place Is as snug and warm
as sedan or limousine, offering at the
same time the additional convienceS Of
a sunshine" body with top removed
and glass windows in place or a fully
open car with windshield level and the
full sweep of an eXhilarating breeze.
Income from automobile freight would
pay the dividends on all the railroads

TROUBLES VARY.

A point seldom considered in the
business of servicine automobiles Is that
the same kind of trouble is not equally
as serious for all makes. That friend
is Inconvenience by something that
goes wrong with his car is no reason
why another one need take the same
sort of trouble so seriously.
This Is neatly illustrated in the case
of one make of car which will not start
II an intake valve sticks open. Most
other cars can be started despite such
trouble.
II a rear axle breaks with rear ends
of a certain type the machine has to
be lacked up and towed in as wreck.
With another type the wheels are free
to turn despite the axle trouble, so that
ordinary towing is sufIicient.
Even a broken shock absorber on the
earlier models of o recently introduced
car interfere with steering. whereas on
the average car no serious difnculties
would be met.

POINT ADJUSTING EASY
WHEN CAR Is IN GEAR
Eliminates Necessity of Turning
Motor Over With Hand Crank
to Open Breaker.

One of the things that slows up the
work of adjusting breaker points Is the
dinhculty Of turning over the engine I'M
til the points just open. 1t seldom can
be done with the starter-motor, since
the engine has tendency to stop in the
closed position of the points.
The hand crank Is the usual way OF
doing the job but sometimes the owner
does not have his crank handy. and
getting 1t out at best is always a null
sance. In repair shops, therefore, they
have figured out q way to accomplish
results with a minimum Of delay and
effort.
The trick is to place the car in gear,
with ignition or and move it a little,
forward or backward. This turns the
engine very slowly until the points
break.
Usually in their open position the
points should space somewhere between
.0l5 and 900 inch. It varies somewhat
with different makes.

INCREASE SHOWN
IN AUTO INDUSTRY
Upward Swing in Production
and Sales During Week
Noted by Cram.

Indications that a general upward
swing in production and sales is under
way were noted frequently in the motor
induStry'S activity this week, according
to B. H. Cram, president Of Grams Au-
tOmotive Reports, Inc.
Five companies reported that in
creases in daily output schedules, rang
ing from slight gains to a step-up in
one instance of almost 100 per cent,
has been instituted, while with but one
exception all tentative Set-upS for
March production provided for sub
stantial gain.
March Set-up Equals February.
One company kept its March set-up
at q figure equaling its February pro-
duction, although incoming orders and
sales have shown moderate gains. This
was q concern, however, which at the
first of the year announced q conserva-
tive policy in regard to its output and
has since maintained levels strictly In
accordance with the demand.
From this 1t is not to be inferred
that those concerns which have in
creased their output have done so with
no regard for the trend of demand.
The fact is that these schedules have
been fixed because the sales volume
warranted such output. During the
last two weeks of February sales began
to show an upward trend and during
the past week this improvement has
been more pronounced. More than a
majority of companies reported that in
coming orders have been gaining stead
lily and none has experienced definite
slackening.
Medium Priced Sales Larger.
The increases in schedules occurred
principally in the medium-priced neld,
with three OF the companies stepping
up production having representation
also in the high priced class. No gain
in output of low-priced cars occurred
both of the two largest volume producers
holding schedules at unchanged levels
Representing an even greater proper
ton of manufacturers than did the
schedule Of passenger car output were
the increases in truck production. In
this division also 5 companies stepped
up output, the sharpest gain being one
Of about so per cent. Most of the COM
panieg entered the month with a good
bank of orders on hand and where ten
tative March set-ups have been fixed
these show . gain over February pro-
duction.
Majority Report Gains.
The majority Of companies report
sales gaining steadily.
The general feeling exists in the tire
industry that in view OF the impending
heavy consumer market, tire distrib-
utors have been too conservative in
their buying, with the result that they
are understocked for this time of the
year. Efforts are being made to impress
dealers with the extent of the immi-
nent market and to influence them to
augment their present inadequate stocks
so as to be i'll position to meet the
consumer demand.

The Refined Foods.

Nutritional failure leads to num-
berless vague. poorly defined states
OF iii health. The s0-called def
cheney diseases" among which come
beriberi. scurvy. pellagra. ricketts,.
and others. have their foundation in
the lack OF a proper diet.
Diet should be considered az a
whole, and all the essentials. the
vitamins. carbohydrates. p~roteins and
minerals. nus Be given equal i'm
portance. One OF the most common
mistakes Is TO have an excess OF one
on these food elements and a def
cheney or another.
Thousands Of people today indulge
in a diet made up or refined foods.
This ~ IN direct contrast 10 the foods
OF the hardy mountain tribes OF the
Hinalayas. who consume milk. eggs.
whole grains. fruits and the leafy
vegetables. People In those regions
rarely have appendicitis or other
stomach disorders. We need 10 get

much upon good nutrition. It has
been demonstrated again and again
that a liberal. well-balanced diet pro-
tects against bacterial invasion. Also

tious disease. tuberculosis is a par.
ticularly good example. It's cure lies
above all in proper diet. fresh air
