KEEP MOVING ANSWER
TO TRAFFIC JAMS
Stop Signs May Go Into Discard,
According to Plans of the
Engineers.

TRAFFIC stops-the busy motorists pet
annoyance-may take their place with
the linen buster and the hand crank,
if the elaborate plans of traffic en-
gineers work out as anticipated. Already
there are numerous broad hints of the
advent of the age of uninterrupted
movement of vehicles.
Many cities, realizing that valuable
opportunity is overlooked in not try
ing to utilize existing streets to better
advantage, are experimenting with the
continuous motion" method of traffic
control. The goal may be as unat-
tainable as perpetual motion, but it is
generally agreed by automobile drivers
and traffic officials alike that the stop
and-go system is fundamentally wrong
Under the traffic system of the fu-
ture it is predicted that motorists will
drive according to the speed rate of
the street and not according to their
ability to beat the lights
One of the leading difficulties OF
the continuous flow system is failure

SAFETY FACTOR SEEN
IN IMPROVED BRAKING
Many Motorists Take Unfair Ad-
vantage, However, Says
Local Dealer.

While the remarkably improved brak-
ing systems Of todays automobiles are
safety factors Of outstanding importance,
IL is true that by their very excellence
and efficiency they have tended TO in
duce some motorists to use them to the
maximum more frequently than Is con-
sistent with careful driving.
This point is made by Oscar Coolican.
local Packard distributor, who, while
viewing the vastly better brakes OF the
modern automobile as one of the en-
gineer's greatest contributions to safety,
believes that too many motorists are
taking unfair advantages Of the systems
decelerative capacity.
What 1 mean by that" Mr.. Coolican
saws. lis that as fast as the engineer has
built a margin of safety into the brakes,
lust so fast have some drivers utilized
that margin. They rush up to traffic
lights at high speeds and jam on the
brakes. They push into trafnc situa-
tions where more careful motorists fear
to tread. and then depend wholly on
their brakes to save them from misnaps
Now it is perfectly plain that the
engineer is up against an uneven battle
in this respect, because 1t is relatively
easy for the motorist to demand more
and more of the brakes by becoming m
lcreasingly reckless. There has got TO DC
a stop to the competition somewhere
for, despite the genius of the designer, II

to provide for the convenience Of mo-
florists on cross-streets. This point n
given serious consideration by advo-
Gates of the progressive lighting sys-
tenn now proposed for New York City.
In the ideal layout motorists on cross
town streets would not have to stop for
north-south traffic, although movement
would not be as speedy as that Of the
latter.
An example of the difficulty is found
in the case of tt the control ut Atlantic
City, N. j., where machine can pro-
coed a number of blocks at a time on
streets paralleling the beach, but where
travel on croSs-streetS is badly delayed
Time gained in travelling along one set
of streets is lost in driving over the
intersecting group, although some
drivers who are familiar with the
lighting system often can time their
driving and select streets so as to
catch" the lights more favorably.
In long. narrow city. such as the
shore resort mentioned, there Is more
travel along the streets where a more
continuous movement is provided. The
average city. however. does not enjoy
this more ideal layout, On the open
highway the trend is Enthusiastically
toward such segregation of traffic lines
that drivers eventually will not have
to stop because of cars crossing their
path. This is being accomplished
through elaborate systems of under
passing with connecting ramps. Plans
thus far in use have the disadvantage
of requiring an excessive amount OF
floor space, but 1t is believed that much
could be accomplished by constructing
more ingenious "traff1c tracks"

If they can't park they won't buy.
And that, in essence, is the factor which
is developing a new technique in various
branches of retail marketing, according
to z. z. Duffy, highway educational
writer. The daily battle for parking
space in the more congested market
areas is no stimulant to good business.
It is a detracting influence, rather, and
it presents a problem which is giving
the merchants in many citiss cause for
loss of sleep and premature old age.
Motor travel has brought individual
freedom to transport, but SO long as
man insists on travelling individually TO
market in a vehicle built for five pas
sengers so long will parking be prob
lem.
In number of cities-Dixon, Ill. for
instance-the city fathers have provided
large paved parking areas for market
bound cars The solution is logical
wherever there are centrally located
spaces which may be converted to the
purpose. The arithmetic of car park
ing is very simply illustrated. AS an
example, even moderate-sized cities will
have at least 200 cars in the business
district during rush hours. To park
these cars along the average curb will
require at least one-half mile of street.
The same number of vehicles could be
concentrated much more easily and

DRIVING IN WINTER
|. NOW MUCH FASTER
Selection of Proper Oil Is
Given as Reason for
Change.

Motorists, on the average. will drive
years ago. Faster cars, better high
ways are only two of the factors that
bring this about. Continuous operation
for long distances. under heavy loads
and under high speeds, during the cold
est weather has become commonplace.
The changing driving conditions have
made necessary the development of
Winter lubricants of the highest quail
ity. The truism that a good motor oil
is made, not found, Is most apt in ap-
plication to Winter oil.

Merchants Lure Prospective Buyers
By Creating Special Parking Areas

compactly within the limits of a paved
parking area. In addition, the net gain
in saving of time and space would re-
act to the advantage of driver and mer-
chant
In the larger metropolitan centers the
high value of ground space in business
districts might present an economic
barrier to paved parking areas, and in
such cases double decking of streets or
street widening must be resorted to, If
order is to be brought out of conges-
which an individual motor gives to its
ton. The very freedom Of movement
driver is defeated when traffic tie-ups
and mo parking" signs enter the pic
ture.
A solution to the parking and mar
keting problem has been launched in
several sections of the country by in
dividual merchants, and now one finds
So-called "drive-in" markets in many
places. These markets, essentially, con-
sist of paved parking space in front Of
an "L"-shaped or semi-circular row of
retail sales buildings. This system has
the additional advantage of concentrat-
ing number of types Of stores within
closely knit and convenient area.
Modern merchants are finding that the
buyer who drives a car must have park
ing room near the market or he will go
some other place to make his purchases.

and ready oil circulation at low tenn

and ready oil circulation at low tenn
peratures.
But there is much more to it than
this. After good fluidity and proper
character have played their part in the
starting of the engine, the car may still
be driven as fast in Winter as in Sum-
mer. Thus, before the motorist has
driven many miles he has the heat fac
tor to contend with. The oil, then, at
the same time must be of such body
and character as to afford the maxi
mum of fabrication under these high
speed Winter temperature conditions.
The ideal Winter lubricating oil for
an engine, apart from the matter of
ease of starting and ready circulation,
should be one of relatively the same
character and body at the lower tenn
peratures Of Winter operation as a
heavier Summer Oil at the higher tenn
peratures of operation in Summer.

TURKEY TO PRODUCE OIL
Supply Located Near Ancient Tomb
of Apollon.

One Of the oldest sections of the
civilized world promises soon to become
the newest oil-producing field, accord
ing to reports now being received from
Turkey, says National Petroleum News.
Historians of centuries ago made fire.
ouent references TO a rock OIL or
petroleum which was used extensively
for lighting the temples and palaces Of
the ancients, but no record has been
found of the location of the deposits
from which the oil was obtained. It
was not until the recent discovery of a
seepage of crude oil near the tomb of
Apollon and other places in Turkey that
q source of oil supply was located.
AS a result of this discovery 1t seems
possible that one of the ancient oil
fields soon will be contributing its share
of white oils-gasoline and kerosene
rs fuels for the motors Of the modern
Iorld.

One of the latest achievements in

the development of a spark plug heat

the bus and truck field, as it will effect
operating economies.
The heat range" system, developed
by engineers, prevents spark plug foul
ing or preignition. 1t consists of
group of spark plugs graded from the
hottest" to the coolest" thus provid-
ing a hot" plug for a cold engine to
prevent fouling, and cold" plug for
