The Clan of Roosevelt

One Of the most curious illustrations Of the fact
that most people don't seem to know what is going
in the world is the receipt by Mrs Theodore Roosevelt
widow of the former President, Of several hundred
letters and te1egrams congratulating her upon the
nomination of her husband for the Presidency! 1t
seems incredible that there is still anyone in America
who does not know that Theodore Roosevelt died in
1919.
There were also a good many thousands who
wrote to Franklin D Roosevelt, the Democratic nom
nee for President under the impression that he is
son of the former President AS matter of fact his
wife is much closely related to the late Theodore
Roosevelt than Franklin D. Roosevelt is. She was the
daughter of Theordore Roosevets brother, Elliott,
and that makes her first cousin to the present Theo
dore Roosevelt, GovernorG General Of the Philippines.
One has to go back nearly two hundred years to trace
the relationship of Franklin D. Roosevelt to Theo-
dore Roosevelt, but it is there.
The first Of the name to settle in America was a
Dutch merchant named Nicholas Roosevelt, who came
to New York in 1919 In 1872 the old records show,
there were two brothers Roosevelt named Johannus
and JosepAus They were great grandsons Of the or
ginal Nicholas Roosevelt. One Of them was the an
cester Of Theodore Roosevelt and the other of Frank
lin D. Roosevelt. Their defendants in both lines ac-
cumuated wealth and acquired high social position,

Theodore Roosevelt, just out of college, was put up
by the Republican organization in 1881 for member

does not appeal greatly as a perma-
nent type OF business is suggested by
the fact that there is little exchange
OF ownership. When a parking lot x
disposed of it invariably ceases to exist
and becomes the foundation for a sky
scraper.
Foresighted motorists appreciate this
and are looking to newer and better
types OF indoor parking garages as the
real solution to their problem. Many.
OF them are encouraging the develop
ment OF such plans by willingly paving
the extra fee for this more protective
parking.
Present Plight.
The present plight of many parking
garages IS obviously temporary. Were
1t not for the temporary competition
from the flood Of parking lots such ga
RACES could net an income sufficient to
place their arrangements in a position
to improve the system of handling cars
Some idea Of the situation at present
may be judged from the fact that the
cost Of handling cars in typical park
ing garage, where elevators are used
exceeds the charge levied for the COM
plete storage on parking lots.
Because Of inadequate facilities, d.
with the outdoor price of parking, many
indoor parking places have not foffered
the car owner as complete protection
as ne would like. His car has been
shielded from the sun and elements.
IL has been kept more efficient because
OF always being housed at an even
temperature. 1t has been protected
against pilferers and manhandling by
inexperienced attendants. But often
It has been subjected to cramping and
those abuses necessary to fit it into
tight quarters. In spite of these handi-
caps, however the well stored car has
every advantage over the machine that
Is always at the mercy Of the elements.
Not only in Winter but in Summer is
the indoor parked car at an advantage.
Great holes were torn in the roofs Of

The prospects are bright for newer
and better parking service-ranpp ga
RACES and the automatic type that per-
nit no damage to the car when not in
actual running service. These will be
business enterprises of a higher order,
conducted in buildings that are a credit
to the city. Motorists win view this
sort OF protection and convenience as
form OF insurance, and will be willing
to pay for it.

RESEARCH BENEFITS
Problem of Vapor Lock Solved bv
Engineers.

Fuel research experts OF the Society
Of Automotive Engineers report that
they have solved the problem of vapor
lock. This disturbing and sometimes
dangerous stopping of the fuel flow
through the gasoline feed pipe of an
automobile or an airplane has been
the subject of continued study for
more than three years. Under the di-
rection Of the Cooperative Fuel Re-
search Steering Committee the auto
motive engineers, the American Petro-
leum Institute, National Automobile
Chamber Of Commerce and Bureau of
Standards have studied the relation be-
tween vapor pressure and the tenn
perature at which vapor lock occurs,
until now they are in a position to rec
ommend to motor car and aircraft
builders and operators improvements
In the design Of fuel feed systems
which will tend TO lower the fuel tenn
perature and eliminate the fuel STOP
page. This cooperation between the
petroleum and automotive industries in
the solution Of number OF the trou-
blesome problems furnishes a good ex-
ample OF the mutual benefits which
arise from such research.

BETTER PARKING AND STORAGE
PREDICTED FOR MOTOR WORLD
Future Holds Promise of Development of
Garages as Service to Motorist
and Civic Need.

The way the car spends its spare
time is an index of the way it will
serve its owner. Couched in the
phraseology Of proverbs one might say,
''as a car parketh so it goeth."
This new slant on parking and ga
raging of cars is expected to bring
about numerous reforms in car care.
Since the earliest days majority Of mo-
torists have pictured their possessions
wearing out only when in service. To-
day there is growing realization that
when it is left TO itself car is most
likely to get into mischief.
Natural Tendency.
An automobiles natural tendency to
deteriorate when standing Is greatly ac-
celerated by a number of customs and
habits in parking, which are based on
false economy or the result Of down.
right unwillingness to face the facts
about car abuse and depreciation.
The outdoor parking lot has been
both a blessing and a curse. It has
taken the standing car off the street
and saved no end of tire and steering
gear wear through eliminating the IA
miliar ordeal of worming into a tight
parking space. But the convenience
of the outdoor lot has encouraged the
use OF entirely too much outdoor park
ing Millions of dollars worth Of the
finest automotive property in the coun-
try daily goes to waste as a sacrifice to
the elements.

presents a picture which cannot be
viewed as anything other than a phase.
Whether the public finds the conven-
ience Of this sort of parking SO tempt
ing that 1t will demand a continuance
of it remains to be seen, but certain
factors are self-evident.
Fewer Sites Seen.
In the near future, when building
operations are on the upswing again,
there will be fewer sites for parking
space use. These sites will tend to be
farther away from central and con-
gested districts, thereby defeating their
purpose to a large extent.
A scarcity of parking space will re-
verse the present competitive situation,
resulting in an upward revision of rates
This will give an advantage to the CEN
trally located garages, of the presen:
type as well as those to be built in the
next few years.
Any upswing in business sufficient to
create a demand for first-class office
space and store locations would greatly
reduce the number of available parking
spaces. Owners of property now rent
ing for parking naturally would prefer
to sell at profit. An indication that

New Traffic Signals.

New types Of trafic signals which
weigh traffic and pass various streams
according to their relative importance
offer a great advance in traffic control,
according to DR.. McClintock. director
Of the Erskin Bureau of Harvard Uni
versity. Where properly installed, these
signals always give a 60 light to an
approaching vehicle unlelss the right of
way has already been given to another
stream OF traffic. In this manner they
reduce delay to a minimum and yet give
full protection to the intersection. These
signals are called traffic -actuated sig
mails because they are controlled by the
trafic itself. Some types have connec-
tons so thef may be operated, by pedes-
trians as wed as by vehicles.

GOOD TREADS SAFETY AID
Condition of Tires Large Factor in
Careful Driving

Safety in Winter driving is depend
ent to a large extent on the tread of
the tires, according to j. F. O'Shaugh-
messy, general manager of a rubber
companys' tire division.
This fact is so generally recognized
by experienced motorists that the Fall
months have become established as the
logical time to buy new tires. A deep,
rugged tread on all four tires Is the
best insurance against skidding and
accidents when travelling on snow, slush
and slippery pavements, Mr.. O'Shaugh-
messy said.
Worn, smooth rubber, wet by the
water from the highway, makes the
tire almost equally as slippery as the
Ice or snow itself. The amount of
friction between such a tire and the
roadway is reduced to a minimum and
the driver runs a hazard that could be
avoided by the use of heavy tread
tires"

With the modern machine at such

not think of one particular make

others. What the country needs
is to think of automobile buying.

Smith, "for him to put on a new

Judging from the large number
of automobile accidents that are
directly traceable to tires either
worn out or not safely made, a
good many motorists seem to be
waiting for some one else to put
new set of tires on their cars,
traffic officials and safety author
tiles declare.
While more than 440 persons are
known to have been killed last
year as the result of automobile
accidents caused by tires being
punctured or blowing out, the
death toll taken because tires
lacked traction on slippery roads

In other words, more persons
than live in the city Of Richmond
Va, were injured last year as the
result of skidding accidents.
Automobile clubs, safety coun-
ellis and similar organizations,
alarmed at the terrific toll of
deaths and injuries that have
happened because cars could not
stay on slippery roads, have re-
doubled their warnings against
driving in Winter on tires that
have little or no traction in
emergencies.

In support of their statement
the club quoted testimony by Sid
ney D. Walden, chairman of the
A. A. A. National Taxation Com
mittee, before the Ways and Means
Committee of the House of Repre-
SentativeS as follows:
"Of the 100000 new car buyers
of 1881, 100000 purchased cars
costing less than $3.50 each. 1t is
clear, therefore, that any revenue
that is to be derived by the Gov
ernment from this tax will be at
the expense not of the minority
who have the ability to pay, but
at the expense of the great major
ity who are barely able to own and
operate cars, and who, in many
instances, require them in con-
nection with their daily work.
Il said that it would bear hard
on the farmers. Keep in mind
that there were owned on the
farms of the United States as OF
1890, 5,035, ,060 motor vehicles. with
a valuation of $1,000, 100000, or
which the farmers paid $183, ,000,-

rapidly wearing out and there is
