HELD
CAUSE OF TROUBLE
Motorists Fail in Car Care,
Says A. A. A. An
aIysiS.

On the basis Of an analysis of
emergency calls handled by its more
than 1000 motor clubs during 1880,
the American Automobile Association
declared today that indifference of car
owners to certain fundamentals Of car
care rather than major troubles is the
chief source Of cars stalling along the
roadside.
The national motoring body said that
tire troubles, ignition and battery ills,
choked feed lines, improperly adjusted
carburetorS and the familiar ''out OF
gas" accounted for more than SO per
cent of the S o S calls from motorists
last year.
Purpose Of Analysis.
The purpose of the analysis, said the
A. A. A., was to ascertain the principal
source of trouble, with the view to
stressing the advantages to be enjoyed
by car owners through closer attention
to- the mechanics of the car usually
causing delay and annoyance.
Tire troubles" said the statement,
were responsible for 1858 per cent Of all
emergency calls in 1880. A study Of
these calls by service experts indicates
that in addition to punctures, which
are almost inevitable at times, more
than go per cent of the trouble was
caused by continued running with tires
over or under inflated. mostly the
latter. This clearly shows that lack Of
proper attention to tires Is the greatest
source Of delay and annoyance to mo-
toristS."
Next to tire troubles comes ignition
and battery ills, according to the A. A.
A. analysis.
g., m 80 al lie
last year." the statement said, land in
dicates the importance of a careful
check on the electrical system prelimi-
nary to the vacation tour. Battery
trouble caused 1913 per cent of the calls.
In large majority of cases negligence
on the part of the owner was evident.
In a very few instances could the trouble
be laid to defective equipment. It SIM
ply was a case of the owner forgetting
to keep water in the battery, failure
to note corrosion Of terminal points, or
generator adjusted so as to assure that
its output would meet driving demands.
Other Motoring Troubles.
"Choked gas lines, carburetor trouble
and the familiar out of gas caused
"a per cent of the roadside calls. Dirt
in the feed line or carburetor, water
somewhere in the fuel system, discon-
nected choke lines and improperly adj
justed carburetor, of course, were the
principal causes. All Of these were fea-
lures of car care with which the owner
should be familiar or take steps to
prevent.
I'm spite Of the superior devices for
registering the quantity Of gas In the
tank and the fact that most cars are
equipped with these devices on the
dashboard, the cry of out Of gas came
from Al per cent Of the motorists call
ing for emergency service"
These instances, added the national
motoring body, indicate that motorists
may reap an enormous advantage from
paying a little more attention to the
fundamentals Of car care in its opera
ton.

QUESTION OF DAMAGES
SETTLED BY MARYLAND
Right Of Way Fails to Excuse
Driver Who Might Have
Avoided Collisions
epec,aI Dispatcb 20 rhe Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, August IA 1notorist
who insists upon his right Of way when
by swerving to the right he might avoid
collision with another car that has
encroached on his side of the road may
be held liable for resultant damages to
persons in his machine, the Maryland
Court of Appeals decided in an opinion
this week.
The case decided by the court con-
cerned an accident In which a driver
proceeding without swerving on his
right side of the road had col1ided with
another car proceeding in different
direction and which was partly on the
wrong side Of the road as the result Of
starting to make left-hand turn across
the highway.
The decision was made by the court
In passing upon the appeal Of Fred
LANCE, who had been sued last year in
the Baltimore City Court for injuries
received by H. D. Affleck, q passenger
in Lange's automobile when the car
fgured in q collision with another au-
tomobile on January 10, 1880.
The Court Of Appeals upheld the &C
ton of Judge Joseph N. Ulman in re-
fusing to take the case from the jury.
The defendant had claimed at the trial
that there was no evidence In the case
sufiicient to hold him liable for his
passengers injuries.

from the aerial to the receiver. It is
here that much interference from the
engines ignition system can be checked
effectively through grounding the me-
tallic shielding that covers the wire
The suppression process Is generally
considered to be at least so per cent
Of the installation. sse
Tops on closed cars vary. so that
When a manufacturer uses the Slated
top. an aerial usually Is constructed
from copper or bronze screening taxed
to the wood cross bows. Where car
makers use the poultry wire top, q
natural aerial sometimes Is afforded.
However, II the twisted portions are not
soldered or galvanized together, recep-
ton will not be perfect. Cases also
are found where the poultry wire Is
grounded. In this event the wiring is
useless for aerial purposes. Nor Is It
possible to place another aerial be-
tween the original wire and the inside
top material, as this would actually
shield the aerial from the radio waves.
Top Can Be Done Over for Set.
In a case Of this sort 1t is possible
to apply about 30 feet Of "sticktape" to
the top of the car, starting near the
edge and working toward the center In
very much the manner Of a loop aerial
for home receiver. This tape Is the
color Of the roof Of the car and will
stick tightly. The whole top should be
done over with a coat of top dressing
afterwards, although n test showed
that this tape stuck through a Winter

complete the job.
In some cases where the poultry wire
between the top covering and the in
side ceiling material is grounded and
the owner does not care to have the
inside Of the top tempered with It Is
possible to install a copper screening
aerial on the roof Of the car and then
reroof with another layer of top mate
rial. With so many cars now either
standard or optionally equipped with q
built-i1 aerial, much Of the installation
Is sinplifled. There Is also a tendency
toward bonding the twisted portions Of
the poultry wire.
Resistors Used on Plugs.
Contrary to popular belief, the
greatest demand for car radios to date
has been for reception while the en-
CINE Is running. Travelling men, especi-
ally, have found radio a safeguard
against falling asleep while on long
trips. They want reception with no
interference from the cars electrical
system. For this reason it is customary
to install resistors on the spark plugs
and on the distributor In addition, it
is part Of the standard suppression pro.

It doesn't look like the sales of

Motorists are clinging to their old
machines still a little longer.
Conditions will improve, 1t is be-
lieved, when the warm days OF
Summer give way to the cool
breezes of the Fall. While indi-
cations point to a decreased total
of sales over last year at the end
Of December, it is fully believed
that the industry is in a stronger

June Factory Sales.
June factory sales of automo-
bileS in the United States, as re-
ported to the Bureau of Census,
consisted of 249. 462 vehicles, as
compared with 315,115 vehicles in
May, 1881, and ss4,5o6 in June
The total for the first half of
the year was 1853, 478, as against
2,198, $50 for the first half of 1880.
Opposition to diversion of mo-
tor vehicle tax receipts to other
than highway purposes was ex-
pressed by motor manufacturers
at the annual meeting of the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber of
Commerce in New York, at which
time Alvan Macauley was re-
elected president.
The grievances against this and
other forms of tax injustice
voiced by officials of the Ameri-
can Automobile Association at
their annual convention in West
Baden, Ind, were vigorously in
dorSed by the manufacturers.
Increased Taxes Opposed.
There was general agreement
among those present that further
increases in highway taxes are
undesirable at this time, and that
the funds contributed by the mo-
florists should be used exclusively
for highway purposes, with the
necessity for completing State
road systems meriting first con-
sideration.
Recent efforts of various Legis-
latureS to burden motorists with
the responsibility of financing
State projects not related to the
highways, such as the distribution
Of garden seed, public school edu-
cation, harbor and waterways de-
velopment, and general State ad-
ministration projects, were cited
by the automobile makers as ex-
ampleS of vicious trends which
are being manifested in some
States.
The statement that substantial
decreases in motor vehicle regis
trationS were reported in of the
10 States having the highest per
car taxes in 1881, while registra-
tionS increased in 8 out of the 10
low tax States during the year,
was received with interest by the
manufacturers.
In States where gasoline re-
ceiptS exceed the amount which
might justly be considered as the
motorists share of highway costs,
1t was the belief of the automobile
manufacturers that the rate of
taxation should be reduced.

BY FREDERICK c. RUSSELL.

Whether you already have radio re-
ceiver in the car, are just thinking
about having one installed or happen to
be one of those who like to sit on the
sidelines In critical mood, things are
happening in automobile radio which
merit your close attention. Chrysler,
De Soto, Dodge, Franklin, Hupmobile,
Jordan, Packard, Peerless, Pierce-Ar-
row, Studebaker, Stutz, Plymouth and
others now are putting radio aerials in
their products at the factory-and with
good reason.
Like four wheel brakes, balloon tires
and lacquer finish, automobile radio has
battled against a great many odds.
There has been steady but diminishing
propaganda against the use of radio on
the road. There have been all kinds Of
obstacles in installation. And radio, the
flckle muse that she is, has contributed
her little share in the symphony Of
crepe hanging. But radio a la gasoline
marches on. A good idea can't be kept
down.
Auto Sets Better Now.
Several newer developments are serv-
ing to bring automobile radio into the
limelight. High-power broadcasting
probably tops the list. Next in order
comes compactneSS of equipment, largely

sets. Formerly a car receiver sacrificed
performance in order to meet the de-
hand for compactneSs. Today the au-
tomobile radio receiver accomplishes the
feat of meeting space limitations while
at fhe same time bringing in the sta
lions with more volume and tone than
is possible with many home radio.
Automatic volume control is another
OF the reasons why automobile radio Is
headed for universal use. Regardless Of
variations in current drain and the alb
sorption Of wave energy by steel build
ings, the automatic control provides I'M
varying volume as you roll your way to
the tune of your favorite ether pro-
gram. Add to these developments the
elaborate system of suppression, or in
reference elimination, devised by COM
panies that now have had several years
Of experience in actual installation and
you have the outstanding reasons why
car radio can no longer be held in
check.
