Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-02-16
BY n. CLIFFORD BROKAW,

So much has been written about
automobile accidents that the reports of
such misfortunes no longer make any
great impression upon the reading pub
lie. Yet those really interested in i'm
proving this situation and reducing the
number of accidents are always glad to
know of any new approach designed to
make conditions better.
In this connection the writer recently
received a communication from men,
Der of the Montana Legislature who
believes that ninety-two automobile ia
talities in a period of nine months, in
that State, justifies the calling of spe-
cial session of the Legislature to con-
slider what remedies may be put into
effect. In spite of the fact that special
sessions of Legislature are expensive,
this representative of the people be-
lieveS that one death means more to
a family than any added expense re-
quired to eliminate such catastropheS
This gentleman has in mind to pro-
mote legislation which will accomplish,
first, drivers license law Many States
now have such a law, but it appears
that nothing of this kind is in effect
in Montana.
The second suggestion has to do with
an automatic insurance law covering
deaths and injuries caused by automo-
bileS, and providing for a commission
to supervise the functioning of such a
law, to gather all the facts about deaths
and injuries and to press prosecution
wherever the facts warrant criminal
prosecution.
1t is pointed out that had such bill
been passed previous to 1929, at the cost
Of only $40 per car, or the price of one
| tire, 1t would have paid in 1929 in case
of death. $1,000, and to injured persons
in hospitals, $50 a week. While this
might not be considered enough, it
| to those Inconvenience by automobile
money paid promptly by the State COM
mission, without any lawsuit and when
the injured person most needs it.
The third feature of this proposed
regulation has to do with a law per-
hitting the joining as a defendant In
damage suits of the insurance company
that carries the insurance on the auto
mobile doing the injury or causing the
death. This would materially aid, 1t is
felt, in getting final statements OF
judgment. This is a variation of what
Is known as the financial responsibility
laws In effect in some of the Eastern
States which permit the car owner tc
carry $4,000 protection in liability in
surance or in the form Of surety bond
or deposit in cash or securities.
The owner is required to pay fee
Of $40 for filing and investigating Sc
curttieS. II the owner is sued for dam.
ages and the Judgment rendered is no
satisfied within thirty days after it

rendition, the Judgment creditor may
for his own use and benefit, and at
his sole expense, bring an action in the
name of the State against the company
or person executing such bond. In
other words, the injured person may
have two lawsuits before he finally re-
covers what would promptly be paid
without expense under the bill proposed
for Montana.
A fourth feature includes q law CIV
ing the courts in this State jurisdiction
of non-residents sojourning In Montana
in damage suits brought for injuries
caused by such non-residents to Mon
tana citizens. The State of Massachu-
sets has a law in effect similar to this.
The fifth and final item in this pro-
posed legislation includes law depriv-
ing automobiles involved in accidents
resulting in personal injuries from fur
ther use of the highways for stated
periods on the arrest of an owner or
driver for criminal offense. This, 1t is
felt, would be quite effective in barring
reckless drivers from operating auto
mobiles along public highways.
In general, the main idea of this pro-
poSal is that the owner Of an auto
mobile would pay the State, ut the time
of paying a registration fee, also an
additional fee of $40 per car, which
would go into fund to compensate
for injuries and deaths caused by any
automobile to any man, woman or
child, and regardless of any negligence
as to the loss to him or her II in
jured or to his family If killed. The
fund would be administered by a State
commission, which would insist on
criminal prosecution where the facts
warranted them. What moneys were
not used Of this fund, estimated to be
about Is per cent each year, would
be invested in Understanding bonds
and create reserve. It would be ex-
pected that as years went by the $40
fee could be reduced and perhaps, even
tually, with sufficient reserves in hand,
could be entirely eliminated.
On all of these points there Is not
entire agreement with this legislation.
The principal point on which there is
ing of $50 a week to those under hos.
pital care from automobile accidents,
or the paying of $4,000 to the estate
of one deceased on account of such
accidents. 1t Is asserted by those who
disagree, that any compulsory liability
law to operate successfully must set
up restraints that will be definite in
king automobile drivers more care
flu. 1t should not lay the same burden
upon the careful driver that Is laid
upon the careless fellow, it is asserted:
otherwise the incentive to be careful
is not properly in evidence. The legis-
full and the reckless and thus penalize
the careful person. Whether or not the
proposal has 100 per cent merit, it does
represent constructive thinking on this
important subject and a contribution
toward its solution.

BUY SAME SIZE TIRES.

Oversize Often Affects Perform
ance of Car.
In buying tires purchase tires of
the same size as those bought with
the car. There is a practice among
some motorists to equip cars built for
four-ply tires with tires of six and
sometimes eight ply. Unquestionsbly
this affects the cars performance. En-
gineers spend lot of time determining
the proper tire for certain gear ratio,
and when their findings are not con-
sidered by the motorist in buying his
second set of tires, the owner can usual
ly expect a sacrifice in the performance
Of his car.

Many women worry because they
seem to have to use the choke longer
than others when starting out. This
may be a benefit since is usually indi-

A little more choking at the start is
preferable to running constantly on a
mixture that may dilute the oil, blacken
the plugs and collect excess carbon.

HALF-CHAMP IONSHIP
TO SEAMAN GUNNERS
ApaCheS Don't Mind Sharing Foot
Ball LAurels With Snappy
Service Eleven.

Seaman Gunners, as far as the
Apaches are concerned, are co-holders
of the District sandlot foot ball cham
pionship.
Manager Seymour Hall Of the Little
Indians, yesterday was reported TO have
sent a letter to the Gunner camp
recognizing the Sailors as co-holders
with the Apaches In view Of their record
and the inability Of these two clubs to
hook up.
The Seaman Gunners were defeated
only once and that was by the ST..
Marys Celtics. That was before the
Celtics and Marines agreed to play
under the formers name.
The Apaches also we're beaten by the
Celtics, but that was last week, when
Peggy" O'Neill and Ootko ct al. were
present. The Apaches beat the Celtics
when the latter used most Of the players
who defeated the Gunners.
So with this In mind, sandlot fans
are forming their own opinions about
which Is the champion, but as far as
the Apaches are concerned, the Gunners
rate half of it. And the Gunners, with
the half q loaf Is better than none"
adage In their minds, gladly received
the honor.
Now that Mohawks and st. MaryS
Celtics are to close the season Sunday
at Grifith Stadium, Prof. Patsy
Donovan Of the Hawks Is becoming
vigorous in his denialS his team Is
padding for the game.
Patsy fully expects the Celtics to
produce the Marines Sunday, but as far
as he's concerned, the Hawks with the
exception Of two players. will remain
intact.
The championship of Southeast
Washington" will be at stake Sunday.

n YEW YORK, December 10
nj The serio-comic base ball
war, which fiared up in
somewhat startling fashion
when the thoroughly aroused rep
resentativeS Of the class IA leagues
stormed out of their meeting with
the major leagues last week, fast
approaches a settlement.
1t became known today that the
International League and the Ameri-
can Association, abandoning hope of
successfully combating the big fell
lows, are to hold joint meeting on
January 7 to formulate plans for
reopening peace negotiations.
This, OF course, will mean a prac-
tical desertion of the Pacific Coast
League, but there is a feeling on
the part Of most of the Interna-
tional League and American Asso-
citation club owners that they were
led astray by the Coast Leaguers
and that the only way to get back
on the right track is to shake of
their false guides.
According to a big league club
owner who sat in at the session at
the Roosevelt, the sentiment among
a majority of the minor leaguers
was for peace at almost any price,
and that this was as true of the
Coast delegates as it was of those
from the East and the Middle West.
However, according to this version
Of what took place, when the
spokesman for the minor leagues
got the floor he proceeded to involve
himself and his associates in a stu
alton from which they could with
draw only while shouting defiance,
as for them to have capitulated after
the spokesman had finished would
have been to sacrifice their dignity.
The passing Of week, it seems,

BUSINESS QUINTET
OF TITLE STRENGTH
Shows Power Against G. W.
FroSh-Emerson, Western
and Woodward Win.

~ USINESS, long suffering
K Business, may soon reach
L. the end of the rainbow and
find there a public high
school championship.
Last season the Stenogs gave
everybody concerned plenty of
real worry in the basket ball
series. They defeated Tech, the
champion, in one game and went
down in several others only after
furious battling.
There is no question that Business
got some mighty tough breaks last Win
ter. Should the we'll known worm turn
and the StenogS are reasonably fortu-
nate they're going to be awful hard to
beat in the coming series.
Against George Washington's Fresh
men yesterday the Stenogs showed
plenty of strength and fight. Led by
Bobbie Lucas, willy little forward, they
gave the Colonials rousing struggle,
losing 10 to 20.
In other scholastic games yesterday,
Central defeated Emerson, 26 to 10, for
the second time; Western walloped
Alexandria High, 3s to 10, and Wood
ward surprised with a 20-9 win over
Georgetown Prep.
At the half, G. w. Freshmen were
heading Business, 10 to z. They went
on to increase their lead to 18 to IL.
Then in the final few minutes Business
began Smelling the Colonial basket, but
was not quite able to overcome the
6-point lead.
