THEFTS FROM AUTOS
PROVE BIG PROBLEM
District A. A. A. Official Offers
Precautionary Rules to Balk
Car Sneak-Thieves.

Theft of articles from unguarded au-
tomobiles is one of the greatest prob
lens Of police authorities, especially in
larger cities, and motorists annually
lose valuable packages which in many
instances cannot be replaced, according
to the District of Columbia Division Of
the American Automobile Association.
The A. A. A. made this statement in
connection with an appeal to car own
ers to aid IN the campaign against this
form of larceny.
Unguarded automobiles on streets in
business areas offer a better opportu-
nifty for the ''sneak-thief" than one
parked several blocks away, 1t was
stated, because in the hustle and hustle
the thief has a better opportunity to
make away with his ill-gotten gain.
Some protective measures we're sug-
gested as follows:
Where baggage or packages are left
in the automobile, see that all windows
are closed and that the doors are locked.
Be sure that the windshield also is fas-
tened.
Where it is not possible to lock the
car, remove the baggage and parcels
and have them checked at some con-
venient place while the car is parked
When placing the car in a public
CARA although articles usually are
safe in those of recognized standing, be
sure that pocketbooks, jewels, vanity
cases and such articles are not left lying
on the seats.
Always see that the motometer,
spare tires and other accessories are Of
the type that either are locked or per-
manently attached to the car. Hun
dredS Of thousands Of dollars are repre-
sented IN the annual loss from theft Of
accessories from parked cars"

PROBLEM OF ACCIDENTS NOW
AMONG MOST SERIOUS IN u.

zone Of the most serious problems
facing the American public"
That Is the way Alfred Reeves, gen.
eral manager of the National Automo-
bile Chamber Of Commerce describes
the job Of reducing the number Of au-
tomobile accidents.
Mr.. Reeves declared that, while 1t is
reasonable to expect some increase in
accidents as automobile registration
mounts. it is alarming to find that the
number of accidents In proportion to
the registration Of vehicles is increas-
ing more rapidly than the number Of
cars.
Rigid enforcement Of regulations and
observance of the golden rule are I'M
portant factors in bringing about a
more safe condition for both motorist
and pedestrian" he says. Automobiles
are safer now than ever before. Now
1t Is the human element which enters
into the accident problem far more than
most traff1c mishaps are caused by ex-
perienced but reckless drivers with cars
In good condition.

reckless. Many drivers feel sense Of
security in the knowledge that the in
surance company will take care of dam
ages in case Of accident and cense-
quently overstep the ordinary bounds Of
caution.
TRAFFIC regulations are the result Of
necessity and experience. While at
times some regulations may seem irk-
some, their strict enforcement would
bring about a steady decline in acci-
dents and save many lives. The surety
of punishment II regulations are broken
would be lettering force among reck-
less drivers.
"Of course, first offenders should not
be severely punished, although the Seri-
business Of reckless driving should be
impressed upon them.
Long Lights Irk Drivers.
I'm some cases regulations may be at
fault. AS an instance, city traffic lights
stay one color too long. Both motorist
and pedestrian become impatient and
this tends to make for recklessness. Pc

control, is difficult under these condi-
tons. A review Of regulations to bring

When planning to get thrill from

Whom the gods slay, they first make

IF you want to get into the swing of
driving" suggests a woman who once
knew the trepidations of being a novice
awheel, always have some goal in
mind when YOU take the car out. Even
If it just an errand at the nearest pro-
vision store, you will find that having
an objective takes your mind OF your
self You think about where you're
going and not so much about how you
go"
Don't worry If the engine bucks and
seems troublesome when you are driv-
ing through park at 10 miles per
hour and under. That speed shows up
the slightest irregularities. which may
be temporary and due to gas condi-
tons.
A neat piece Of parking merits COM

better parking if more people would
comment on a job we'll done. Our

Considering the number Of sets of

is puzzle to many why the automobile
Saleswoman has not become factor in
the business. Dealers tell me it's sim
pie enough, pointing out that in the
case of automobiles 1t is the little wom-
an at home who finally decides the
question as to what car to buy. A dap
per salesman has more sales appeal.
But women are playing an increas-
ingly important, though somewhat 81
lent, part In many an automotive estab-
liShmlent. They take your sad story of
woe over the telephone, cheer the deal

trade and keep the wheels moving. One
dealer is blessed with sister who at
tends to all the bank loans.
AN effort to be kind to her new car
resulted in a friend of mine inhicting
punishment on the fine finish of the
hood. In fact, she finished the finish
by lifting the hood and letting it fold
back on the other side che hot day
when stopping to let the engine cool.
Some hoods can be lifted up without
folding back, but where this conven-
fence isn't provided It is far better to
stop in the shade and avoid further risk
Of damaging the finish.

CAPITAL ON HONOR LIST
FOR FEWER CAR DEATHS
Washington One of 90 q. s. Cities
Cited by A. A. A. on Records
in Reducing Fatalities.

Washington was one Of the go Amer
lean cities on the safety honor roll"
for 1880, comprising those cities where
fatalities were reduced as compared
to 1929, according to the District Of
Columbia division Of the American
Automobile Association.
The splendid record of these cities,
said the A. A. A., in the face Of the
mounting toll Of deaths and injuries on
the streets and highways Of the country
as a whole, should inspire traffic au-
thoritieS in every municipality to exert
all possible effort to promote safety.
The statement listed the cities with
more than 100000 population on the
honor roll as follows: Baltimore, Boston.
Cleveland. Los Angeles, Milwaukee, New
York, Philadelphia and st. Louis.
Those with from 100000 to 100000
population include Cincinnati, India
napoIs, Jersey City, Louisville, Newark,
New Orleans and Washington. Other
cities, In all sections of the country.
ranged In population from 100000 to
SOC, 900.
The A. A. A. pointed out that the
model municipal traffic ordinances,
promulgated by the National Conference
Of Street and Highway Safety. Of which
the A.. A. A. Is one Of the sponsors. are
now available to cities and towns In

PORTION OF AMERICAS
HOME is ON WHEELS

Part of Americas home is on auto
wheels II one considers the $50, 900 ,000-
600 miles travelled by private automo-
biles, declared w. r. Smith, president
Of the American Road Builders Asso-
citation, in discussing the need for good
roads. Buses travel enough miles so
that every man, woman and child in
the country could take a good trip FIVE
times a year.
Every one demands safety, comfort
and convenience in home life and the
same demand is made for the home
en- automobile Wheels" continued Mr..
Smith. But there are other benefits.
The money profits from good roads are
apparent in the increased prosperity Of
those States and counties that have
good roads. Cooperative marketing
associations flourish, increasing farm
profits and giving city jewellers fresher
produce at lower prices. Isolated sec
tons are moved closer to schools,
churches, markets and movies through
good roads. The trading area Of cities
is extended. Profitable tourist travel is
encouraged. In North Carolina follow
ing State road bond issue and general
highway improvement, property values
increased eight times, while values in
the whole United States increased four
times"

States now have reciprocal arrange

Despite the fact that there has
been uniformity of opinion in the
State Legislatures and State Highway
Motor Vehicle Commissions that full
reciprocal licenses should be universal
among the States, there are still 26
States which have not adopted them y
it is pointed out by Thomas j. Keefe,
general manager of the A. M. A.
Two States, viz. Mississippi and
Texas, permit foreign motorists Is
days Of motor vehicle operation with
out the necessity of securing new
automobile license. Georgia and Ten
neSsee give the foreign motorists 80
days. Arkansas, Indiana, Nebraska and
Oklahoma have q 60-day law Thirteen
States have a 90-day limitation. They
are COlOTaQO, Minnesota, Montana,
Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, Oregon,
South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah,
Washington, West Virginia and Wyo-
ming. Arizona has a four-month law.
while Illinois, Iowa, New Mexico and
Virginia each have a six-month limi-
tation.
Good roads have annihilated dis
lance. Interstate travel has become
common and universal. A proper auto
mobile license from one State should
suffice for all other States. Yet, not
withstandinR the fact that full reci-
procity should be common to all and
that there is no logical argument
against 1t, there are today seven diff
ferent limitations made by the 4S
States and the District Of Columbia, -
Keefe declares.
The % States having full reciprocity
at the present time, according to the

about uniformity and better adaptation
to present times and knowledge would
help, although, with few exceptions, ex-
tSting regulations are fair, enforceable
and promote safety.
But with SO per cent Of the cars in

the individual-a problem of human

through educational methods. The
signing Of a pledge. such as that Of tn

and helps to give the individual a sense

Sight Of Officers Is Caution.
IF automobiles had no horns. people
would drive more carefully and have
fewer accidents. Too many people
have too much confidence that horns
will always give them the right Of way
A lack Of horns would mean moro

would do much to cut down the num-
Der of accidents"

planned to the salesman that she could
not seem to cut the wheels fast enough
to back into parking space gracefully.
He volunteered to watch her perform
the Job and quickly discovered the
trouble She was allowing the car to
back too rapidly while cutting the
wheels. Back slowly. but steer quick
ly, should be the rule.
When the service man says the timir
chain needs tightening any woman
justified in feeling as If she were sit
ting in on her first hand OF contrac,
but even when he starts talking abou
swinging the generator" she need ne
be alarmed. The timing chain Is perhar
the simplest of the cars vital units.
1t looks like a glorified bicycle chair
and Is installed in a case at the fror
end Of the motor, connecting tn
sprocket of the main engine shaft wit.
that of the smaller shaft, which oper-
ates the valves. On some cars there Is
a third sprocket, which automaticaI
takes up slack in the chain, but in mos
arrangements this Sprocket is connecte
to the generator and sometimes waite
pump shafts. In order to take up slacs
in the chain in such cases it Is neces
sary to pull the generator shaft ava.
from the engine block-just trif1e.
This is known as swinging the gen
orator.
Do you remember the bobbin winde,
on the sewing machine? You move
this forward until its drive wheel caugh
against the belt. The w1nder took u
slack Just as the generator sprocke
does on what Is known as manual ad-
justment for the timing chain.
Some cars use gears instead OF tn
chain. Here If wear occurs. 1t Is cus
tomary to replace the gears themSelve.
There's a warning in the foregoing
even II you don't have the complete sens
of it. Just note that stressed the sim
plicity of the arrangement. Naturally
that suggests ease of adjustment, but
don't get the notion that any roadside
mechanic or crank case drainer can at
tend to this job for you. I wouldn t
trust my car with any but the Official
service station people, who know just
how much tension the chain will stand.
Putting on slip covers to save the up
holstery is good business, especially
where the car is to be populated with
the mistake Of having the covers tackled
to the upholstery in such way as TO
leave the latter filled Of holes when the
covers are removed. This has been
done. Some Of the newest covers are
held in place by spring metal rods and
are virtually automatic as compared
with the older type.
