FUTURE TRAVEL ECONOMY
DEPENDENT ON BUILDING
Present Low Costs Result Of Yes
terday's Work, Says Road
Builder.

Future economy of travel depends on
present highway construction, Just as
our present lowered costs are a result
of yesterdays building, according to
Otto s. Hess, president Of the county
highway officials division of the
American Road Builders Association
Highway financing is easy now. for
the majority of public works bonds
can be disposed of at premium and
with low interest charges. Highway
building is economical now, with low
prices for construction work, ABUNDANT
labor and ample modern road buildlnp
equipment. An expanded highway inn
provement program will continue to
stimulate business conditions. Road
building has not kept pace with traffic
development resulting in high trans
portation and depreciation costs, ex-
pensive congestion, lack of safety and
vehicle damage" stated Mr.. Hess.

Standard Turn Here.

The uniform left-hand turn Is
really with us at last.
Effective last Tuesday the new
mode of driving in Washington,
old elsewhere, went OF like clock
work. Traffic officials had arrows
painted at all of the principal
intersections and the driving pub
lie adapted itself to the new order
of things.
Congestion at many Of the
city'S busy intersections became a
thing of the past. Traffic in gen.
eral was speeded up and the ma
Jority OF motorists drove with
their faces wreathed in smiles, as
If they had been given a new toy.
Many seemed to think that the
turn was a new one, forgetting
that they daily practiced it on
1,700 of the city's uncontrolled
intersections.
The only difficulty noted at
times was the failure of through
traffic cars to give the right-of-
way to cars making the left turn
which were in the intersection
first.
There are some motorists who
drive with the purpose of keeping
the right of-way at all times
whether they have it or not. Not
much can be done about those in
this class. They know better, but
care less. After the new turn has
been worked out a while, police
men should be detailed to arrest
drivers who take the right f-way
when 1t is not legally theirs.
Cutting Corners Unnecessary.
A few motorists have stated
that the new turn neceSsitates
cutting corners. This Is not neces-
sary If made in the prescribed
manner. Other motorists say that
in other cities the turn is made
around or on the far side of the
center Of intersection. This Is
true in some cases, and causes
unnecessary tie-ups. 1t, really is
still the rotary turn on a smaller
scale.
One benefit Of the turn now in
effect is that it will cause the driv-
ers to think when they reach ar
I intersection. A regulation that
| will cause people to think /:
/ bound to have good results
Thinking in this case will gradual
~ stop people from speeding By
intersections. 1t is dangerous anc
such a practice should be stopped

J Servicing automobiles while they ere
! in se-vicc--tae new thought in csr
| ownership-spclls fms fer the long tie
| up In the repair shop, according to
automobile men, who see the motor
car of the near future valued for its
! freedom from interruption of service
| to its owner. In support of the theory
| champions of the new plan point out
| that many remedies for troubles now
can be applied to better adv ntage
while the ailing cars are in motion.
Many service men are meeting the
| new trend intelligently. developing spe-
cial systems that administer service in
| easy doses rather than through major
| operations that involve long delays in
the shop. 1t is not viewed as i'm
| probable that in the near future owners
| will engage service men to drive their
cars for a few days in order to epply
| needed remedies.
Service Nurses.
The service nurse" appears to be
| Just around the corner. He would
take an ailing car and put it back
| into condition without the owner losing
an hours service.
No experienced repairer today ex-
poets to do thorough job of ignition
timing while car is in the shop.
He takes the car out on the road and
adjusts as he goes, doing better job
in the bargain. CarbUretor ediusting
also is more successfully accomplished
through actual road service.
But the newer servicing will be even
more dependent upon actual use of the
car. Today 1t Is necessary to remove
many hydraulic shock absorbers in
order to replenish the fluid supply,
whereas tomorrow additions to the
supply will be made right on the road
The action of the springs will be
utilized to work the fluid into the
instruments without risk of foaming or
Of admitting air.
A hint Of this is seen In the way
many thousands of motorists now
lubricate various points Of the chassis
while they are heading for their des-
obliged to pull out q plunger handle
handle or step on a pedal pump An
noying squeaks that used to develop
in the front ends of the rear springs
of cars of the Hotchkiss drive type
now can be banished while on the
road simply by oiling the squeaking
spring leaves through excessive oiling
Of the shackles. It is possible to ease
the job Of steering into a parking
space by giving the steering connec-
lions an ample supply Of lubricant.
Aid for Brakes.
Brakes can be kept in more efficient
condition, and even put back into ac-
ceptable shape, through service plans
administered while the car is In actual
service. One Of the most popular
brake-testing systems calls for check
ing the efficiency Of the brakes with the
car In motion.
In many cases the only trouble with
brakes is that they are not used enough.
This is particularly true of noisy
brakes. Owners use their brakes lightly,
believing this the best way to avoid
noise, whereas the Innings really need
to be burnt In with more vigorous USE
Running q hundred feet or so with
the brakes rather heavily applied will
burn OF oil or grease that has gotten
on the Innings and will also often serve
to restore equalization. One owner
found that one of his rear brakes was
holding too firmly, but did not notice
that the brake cross shaft was squeak

If you are one of many women who
sit bit low in the car and whose lot
it is to do the daily parking, by all
means equip the right front fender
with one of those little gadgets known
as fender guide. This handy fitment
rises about foot from the fender and
can be seen at all times while driving.

CHECK SPARK PLUGS

Engine Often Peppe& Up After
Examination.
Poor engine performance Is otter
traced and eliminated by an examine
ton of the spark plugs, which frR
uuently are responsible for hard start
ing, missing, sluggishness and loss d
power.
Fouled, worn out or wrong type spark
plugs, or improper adjustment Of spark
plug gaps viii cause these troubles.
When new plugs are installed, or old
ones regapped, they should be checked
carefully, according to car manufec-
turers' recommendation. Quite often,
when the engines performance Is not
as snappy as it formerly was, the diff
f1culty can be remedied by simple adj
justment of the spark plugs.

complex as to frequently stagger
the little mind. AS the child of
today threads his way through
heavy. moving traffic he
hears instead of the notes of the
school house, the jangling of the
bells which sometimes ring with
the change in traffic lights, the
noise of a hundred automobile
horns, the shrill notes of a police
mans whistle-SymbolS of modern
traffic.
They come no longer in groups
of SO or rs to one or two room
school house, but congregate in
groups of a thousand or more,
sometimes literally overlooking
into adjacent streets. For many
of these children, going to school,
is no new experience, and with
caution and elaboration bred of
experience and teaching they
thread their way through the
modern maze of traffic, sometimes
miraculouSly unframed. The
teaching and repetition of sew
eral years has had its effect on
them, and it is during moments
of "Reminiscences or carelesSness
that the greatest danger turks.
Thousands of little feet whose
owners have never ventured forth
alone will join this 1881 throng.
Thousands of little eyes will peer
anXiouSly across the streets to the
haven of safety on the other side.
Thousands of little minds will be
called upon to make the mo-
mentouS decision of when is it
safe to cross the street." Help us
to safeguard each step they take!
Patrols of Safety.
A white belt and badgel In
rainy weather a poncho and rain
hat! Ever on the alert, eager to
help-the District of Columbia
Schoolboy patrol. Two thousand
boys giving up part Of their play
time, coming to school a little
earlier, staying until most of the
children have gone home, their
only reward the knowledge of a
service well done. ! Under their
guidance, feet that are careless are
halted, eyes blinded by thought
leSSneSS are opened, minds be-
wildered by the rush and roar of
traffic are set at rest, and thou
sands of children march to and
from school each day protected
by their sacrifice. Behind them,
eagerly guiding, counSeling, assist
ing, are the uniformed officers
assigned by their Superiors to the
most important duty within the
realm and scope of the depart
ment, the job of saving and pro-
tecting children's lives.
Added to these are the words
of encouragement and praise COM
ing from the lips Of those In whose
care the children are placed dur
ing their school days-the ex-
amples and precepts of their
teachers.
An electric clock ticks away the
minuteS-School time has arrived!
The ringing of electric bells
changes noisy, playing children
into rooms full Of eager upturned
faces. Into the school room go
lessons and teachings of safety,
and simple constructive posters
hold the interest Of little minds
while study and explanation form
habits which will never be for
gotten.
