NEW YORK
with Gilbert Swan

There actually is liff-dwelling Indian living on a step-off ledge in the city's very heart. Bit by bit, have pieced the tale together.
 The Indian is one "Redwing" of the Winnebagos and she is a daughter of cliff dwellers. Mayhap she has a press agent and will one day turn up as music show attraction or a movie actress.
 Meanwhile, 1t appears that A. c. Allan, manager of the Hotel Gov ernor Clinton, received a strange telegram about a week ago. It was sent from Manitou. Colo, and re- quested reservations either upon the roof or upper terrace" And, if possible, space for "'one tepee or tent"
 Now New York hotel men are accustomed to strange requests. He wired back, suspecting a practical joke. He received an explanatory reply: For generations my people have looked down on the world from their cliff houses. I have never visited New York, but I have read of its vast canyons. want to look upon 1t from the peaks. Is 1t possible to have a small campfire, without danger? I really want to live out in the open while making my first visit. If you cannot get a tepee there, will bring my own. Please advise"
 Finding a tepee in Manhattan is like locating a milk-pail or a sum- bonnet. But sport store variation on the old theme has been set up. Mile. Redwing has arrived and moved in-and there 1t is at this moment: a wigwamish addition to the city's architecture.
 And why more people haven't thought of camping out on their rooftops. you'll never learn from me. Yet, since stumbling upon terraced tepee. I've noticed a dozen puptents stretched on rooftops within a few feet of East 42nd street and not more than five min utes from Broadway.

IN ARMY
A|R-COOLED

Recent success Of air-cooled
engines in Army tank tests at
Fort Meade, Md. is the basis of
an article in the Infantry J"ur-
nal, in which the declaration is
made that the test definitely
demonstrated the feasibility of
using an air-cooled engine as a
tank power plant, as well as its
superiority over the engine which
it replaced.
Gas and oil mileage have been
increased and this engine has
also increased the speed of the
tank, the article states. AS a
result of the showing, the War
Department has directed that six
additional light tanks be equipped
with air-cooled engines and
turned over to the armored force
for field tests.

particular purchase essentially
was sound.
How many times has everyone
heard the remark: Il would not
own anything else"? This posi-

of the large, expensive car any
more than is the desire to show

tended to convey the impression
that the speaker could own some
thing else, that his financial
position permitted him to acquire
almost any car that he took a
fancy to.
According to the social psy-
chologist, the impulse is a natural
one. A mans automobile repre-
sents, in theory at least, his best
judgment, just as his political
beliefs and his religious convic-
tions represent his deep and
searching study of political and
religious principles. He may re-

SHOWING OFF,
COMMON To
MOTORISTS
Few Can Resist Temptation
to Prove His Judgment Is
Better Than Other Mans
By ]. LEO SUGRUE,
Times Automobile Editor

Haw many motorists can resist
The tempetation to show the
"other fellow" that he lacks a
knowledge of the finer points Of
automobile operation and that
his judgment Of automotive val
ues, reflected in the kind of car
he drives, is sadly deficient?
There are very few motor car
owners whose will power is so
great. Because of this situation,
competition, keen in all lines of
human endeavor, reaches a most
heated peak between automobile
drivers.
This spirit manifests itself in
countless forms. In many OF
these it's effrontery is amazing.
Ready With Challenge
This is particularly obvious in
the case of many drivers Of GER
tain types of cars. Regardless
of the power, speed. acceleration
or flexibility Of their machines as
judged by exact engineering
standards, no other automobile is
too speedy, powerful or flexible
to be taken on"
If the "taking on" is marked
by ill-luck the first time, does it
deter the unsuccessful driver? 1t
does not.
A few miles farther he may en-
counter another car of the same
make and again will attempt to
show its operator just what an
error he fell into in not buying
a really fast and powerful car.
Certainly the prophet did not
have the motorist in mind but
nevertheless he described him
with a measure of accuracy when
he declared:
''Vanity, vanity. All is vanity"
Defends His Prejudice
The psychology of the matter
is interesting. According to those
who have probed the individual
motorists consciousness, his atti-
tude on the highway simply is a
reflection Of his desire to defend
a pet prejudice. He buys GER
tain make of automobile and
thereafter feels compelled to prove
The Washington times., 1931-04-15

any hesitancy in making the at
tempt.
Consciously or subconsciously,
every motorist has this attitude
though, naturally, in varying
measure. 1t explains great
many forms of conduct and mis-
conduct that are to be noted in
a sweeping glance at the motor
vehicle stream in the metropoli-
tan area, the city suburb, the
town, the hamlet or out iii the
wide open spaces.
How otherwise does one ex-
plain, for instance, the desire of
the mOtOriSt, who is in no par
ticular hurry, to pass almost
every other vehicle on the street?
The competitive spirit, the desire
to show the alacrity, the celerity
with which his car will pickup;
in short, a defense of his preju-
dice is the probable reason for
his action.
The man ahead may have a
car that cost three times as
much or perhaps three times as
little. He must be shown that
it is far from being as good as
it might be or at least that 1t
lacks many of the qualifications
of the car that is about to pass

Most of the States are still
backward in demanding good
eyesight Of automobile drivers as
a measure Of accident prevention,
a survey just completed by the
Eyesight Conservation Council Of
America discloses. The council,
Of which Proctor l.. Dougherty is
director, aims to bring about the
adoption in every State Of a
standard vision test.
Only 13 Of the 48 States, 1t
was shown, have standard license
laws for the operation Of motor
vehicles. They are: Arizona, Cali
fornia, Connecticut, Delaware,
Massachusetts, Maryland, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New
York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
Vermont, West Virginia.
OF these, 10 require that all
applicants for a license to drive
be given an eye test, and that
any defect be corrected to Ger
tain standard before license is is
sued. The States with this re-
quirement are: California, Con-
necticut, Delaware, Maryland,
Massachusetts,, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Rhode Island. Only five
of these States give tests for
color blindness.
Eleven States have no drivers
license laws whatever, Is have
chauffeurs' license laws only, and
eight have subStandard license
laws. Mr.. Dougherty said:

e MILLION CARS
REGISTERED

Registration of passenger cars in
this county in 1880 showed a
slight decrease from the 1929 fig
ues, but motor truck registrations
increased enough to make slight
gain of 008 per cent in total
motor vehicle registrations for the
year, according to reports from
48 States and the District Of Co
lumbia to the Bureau Of Public
Roads.
Registered automobiles, taxis
and buses numbered 23,042, $40
for the year, a decree e Of 78,749
vehicles from the figures Of
%, ,121. $50; the registration of g.
480,939 motor trucks and tractors
showed a gain of 101, ,O85 over the
1929 figures. The total registra-
tion of motor vehicles for the
year amounted to 26,523,779, as
against 26,501, ,443 in 1929.

States SLo1O In Adopting
Drvers' Sight Test

Some of the motor vehicle
commissioners regard the eye
tests as of paramount import
ance, and are constantly work
ing to improve their facilities
for making these tests thor.
Ough. California and MaSsar
chusetts are examples Of this
tendency. In Massachusetts,,
the test is exhaustive, embrac-
ing visual acuity, field of vision,
and color perception.
Pennsylvania has greatly
improved its facilities for eye
examination, and has inaugu-
rated a new system Of records.
Over a five-year period, 1850
applicants with defective vision
have been especially examined,
and later granted licenses.
Nearly 1000 persons were found
to be blind in one eye, accord
ing to a report from Benjamin
G. EynOn, Pennsylvania com
missioner of motor vehicles.
The eyesight conservation coun.
Gil proposes to establish local
councils throughout the country
to study motor conditions, and
work for town, municipal and
State regulation under a uniform
plan. Modern conditions OF
speed, traffic density and the
necessity for sharper observance
of traffic signals, have made
good motor vision an essential OF
public safety, the council de
clares.

HOW OIL FILTER
BENEFITS CAR

The oil filter saves wear by
preventing foreign matter, such
as dust, carbon, grit and sand.
from mixing with the oil, accord
ing to c. w. Jacobs, general SER
vice manager Of the Buick Motor
Company. Mr.. Jacobs says:
Motorists will be interested
to know just what an oil filter
l. and why it should be re-
newed after 10000 miles of
driving. The oil filter consists
Of a rectangular bag, made
from special flannel, with the
nap side forming the inner wall
Of the bag. The bag has an
inlet channel which connects
with q series Of other channels
running the length of the bag.
The oil is thus filtered through
the channels in the bag, the
dirt remaining on the inside
Of the channels and the clean
oil feeding back to the engine.
"ThiS filtering bag is rolled
up and fits into q metal screen,
which is placed in a cylindrical
metal cOntainer having inlet
and outlet connections to the
oil supply.
Gas much as two pounds of
sludge, including much abrasive
matter, is removed from the
crankcase oil by the oil filter
in 10000 miles of average driv.
ing. The removal of this for.
eign matter from the oil saves
wear and thus minimizes need
for replacement Of various
working parts Of the engine.
Use of the oil filter enables
Buick to recommend changing
the oil only four times a year.
with the oil filter the oil
is filtered progressively and
through a filtering area of
900 square inches. The filter
functions at high efficiency
until every inch Of the filtering
area has been finally filled with
residue, which occurs about
every 10000 miles of driving.
Then the oil filter cartridge
should be replaced, which will
make the oil filter as good as
new again, and ready for 10000
more miles of service"
