training before the annual cruises, If
it is decided to hold them.
Destroyer Squadron 10 has been Or
dered to cooperate during the Winter
and Spring months with the Inspec-
ton Board. 1t also was announced
that the ships also would be available
to Reservists for training duty without
pay.
1t was announced that the ships are
expected to make the following ports
Portland, Me; Hoboken, N. j.: New
North River, N. Y; Brooklyn, N. Y;
Charleston, S. c.; Georgetown, S. c.;
Tompkinsville, Staten Island, N. Y,
and Boston, Mass.
However. no provision appears to be
made for ship to come here. 1t was
the departments plan, announced some
months ago to have the Atlantic
Training Squadron destroyers visit vari-
Gus Reserve organizations and remain
for several months. The destroyer
Hamilton was assigned here and to
Hampton Roads points, but when the
China troubles developed the ships were
sent to the West Coast, since which
time no vessel has been here.
While the local ReserVsts did not
gain much from cruising on week end
trips, because of the necessity of hav-
ing such large crew, nevertheless they
did receive it was said, very valuable
aid in the drills while the vessel was
ct the dock in the Washington Navy
Yard
Since the destroyer left there has
been sent here a 50-foot motor launch
with a cabin This has been used
weekly by the Reservists and they have
received much valuable training. How
ever, 1t was pointed out that it lacks
a number of conveniences for week end
cruises and 1t Is soon to be replaced
by another vessel which is being fitted
out at the Norfolk Navy Yard. Nc
definite information has been received
here, however, as to when it will be
finished and ready for service.
The attention of all officers and men
of the local Reserve has been called
to the necessity of promptly answering
communications sent out by the COM
mandant. This laXness on the part of
a few, it was added, results in cor
respondence being held here on which
action or reply is required by the
Navy Department.
1t said that failure on the part of
any individual to promptly answer cor
respondence is cause for their discharge
from the Naval Reserve. The COM
munication adds that it is believed
that some do not realize the Importance
of the correspondence which is forward
ed to them for action or reply. The
most important thing, the Reservists
are told, is to get the correspondence
back into the hands of the COM
mandant at the earliest practicable
moment and thus be relieved of re-
sponsibility Of further action in the
matter.
1t was announced that the Exam
lining Board is now including in the
practical navigation examination for
officers seeking promotion questions re-
Quiring the use of an adjacent vessel
as a horizon and the calculation Of the
correct altitude from such observation.
Information as to the method of sclv-
ing these problems may be obtained
from the photographic Office.

sufficient to make you think your en-
gtne is developing a healthy knock, es-
pecially If your siX-cylinder motor Is
following four-cylinder truck. I hear
1t occasionally with my eight-cylinder
motor when trailing a six-cylinder
truck.
Today's tip to the woman who Is
learning to drive concerns the idea OF
learning how to operate the engine
and shift gears by jacking up one of
the rear wheels while the car stands
out on the driveway. Without fear of
running into some one or losing con-
troll of the car the business of master
ing the gears can be picked up quickly.
There are a lot of things about the
cooling system of an automobile that
you ought to know if you want to sur
prise the men folk some evening at
dinner. One that will upset their tran
quillity is the fact that all engines are
air-c cooled, although majority of them
use water to conduct the heat from
the cylinders to the air.
All cooling systems employing water
as Notwithstanding medium are partly
thermoSyphon in action. That sounds
pretty technical, but it simply means
that water in an engine tends to cir
culate itself by reason of the fact that
when heated it rises. Some cooling
systems use no pump. depending en-
tirely on the thermosyphon action.
If we slow down the rate of circula-
ton of the water the motor will heat
up quicker. This explains why modern
engines have a thermostat inserted in
the system. When one Of the hose
connections breaks internally a flap of
its interior may block the passage of
water and cause the engine to over
heat.
Just to top off the discussion, tell
the men folk about the newest plan
of putting special oils into the water
so as to retard the rusting and cor
roding action.
Beauty is only skin deep, so don't
risk bad face burn by opening the
radiator filler cap when the system Is
! boiling If the water is dangerously
hot you will know it, not only by the
temperature gauge on the dash, but also
by the steam from the bottom of the
radiator where the overflow vent leads.
Do you go round curves and cor
ners too fast? An experienced woman
driver says that one of her guides Is
to watch front seat passengers. If they
have to grasp the door handle she
knows there is too much side sway.
Incidentally, when tire treads are
worn off there is no tire Squeal. unless
the car is forced around a curve at a
much higher speed. In other words,
you may be going much too fast under
such conditions, without hearing the
squealing to warn you.

THE 1888 Automobile Show here,
scheduled for January % to
February 4, inclusive, is to start
i off in a great way, If the pur-
poses of the washington Ad-
yertising Club are fulfilled.
The Ad Club is seeking big business
for the National Capital during the
coming year, and as the annual auto
exhibit is one of the citys greatest at
fractions following New Year, 1t is TO
get a whirlwind send-of.
Present Plans.
According to present plans the Ad
Club is sponsoring the opening OF the
show by a luncheon at the Raleigh,
at which time many prominent speak
ers in the industry, including Walter
P. Chrysler and Alfred Sloan. are ex-
pected to attend. It is also hoped that
Vice President-elect John N. Garner
will be present.
Following the luncheon specially
decorated cars will take the guests over
to the Auditorium, where the show Will
be duly opened.

New York Program.
New York is making its plans for its
annual show, which, as usual, is the
first national exhibit in the United
States 1t will be held at the Grand
Central Palace January to IA. In its
interests the management of New York's
show is desirouS of aScertaining who
first owned and drove an American
made automobile in the streets of New
York. If that individual is not living,
it Is then desired to learn the identity
of the first New York owner-driver
who is living today. A handsome gold
watch will be presented at the show
banquet, January 10.
The management fully realizes that
several owners may have started at ap-
proximately the same time. For this
reason, painstaking efforts will be made
to verify the accuracy and to obtain
reasonable proof of the competitors
statements
The letter should contain the fol-
lowing information:
Name and present address of owner.
Car manufacturers name.
When, where and from whom car was
purchased.
Was car driven exclusively by owner
or part time by chauffeur or employe?
If So give employees name.
Date of first trip within limits of
Greater New York.

owner or who witnessed first ride
If car was licensed state by what
department and the license number and
date Cf possible).
Address letter to National Automo-
bile Show Committee, 366 Madison ave-

This is certainly an interesting plan
and could well be taken up here by the
local management. How about it, Mr.

November Fatalities.

November Fatalities.
From the Department of Vehicles and
Traflc comes this interesting study of
the details of fatalities here last month.
Thirteen persons were killed in traffic
accidents in the District during No
vember, this year, as compared with
six during November, last year, and an
average of seven during each November
for the past nine years.
Traffic fatalities in Washington are
increasing at an alarming rate, and ef-
forts are being made by the depart
ment to determine when, where and
how these accidents occur In order that
corrective measures may be adopted.
OF the 13 persons killed during No
vember, seven were men, five were wom-
en- and there was one small child OF
the total number killed nine were over
SO years of age, three were over 10 and
the child was years of age. The un-
precedented number of older people who
are being killed in traffic accidents in
dicates that there are many of our citi-
ZenS who do not realize that We have
passed from the horse drawn to the
motor vehicle age and that it is the
duty of each citizen to exercise proper
care when in the street, whether as the
driver of an automobile or as a pedes-
trian.
Only one of the 13 accidents involving
fatalities occurred at an intersection,
and in this case the accident happened
at 4:50 am, the person killed being
intoxicated.
Between Intersections.
All of the November fatalities were
pedestrians except one. None of the
pedestrians was crossing at 7crosswalks
or at intersections. In each case the
drivers of the cars involved were ex-
.onerated by the coroner's jury, except
in one case where the driver left the
scene and later confessed. In this case,
evidence indicated that the car which
struck the pedestrian was being driven
at an excessive speed at the time of the
accident. One of the pedestrians was
killed at a traffic circle, but the pedes-
tTian was walking against the signal
and was not at the cros5walk. This was
the only fatality which occurred during
the month at what might be considered
q controlled point.
Six of the accidents occurred while
it was raining and the streets were
wet and six occurred at night. The
brakes on all Of the cars except the
hit-and-run case were tested and found
TO be in good condition.
All of these accidents were caused by
,private automobiles except in two cases
"A truck was involved in one case and

, a street car in the other. No busses
or taxicabs were involved.
A study of the November fatalities,
according to the Traffic Department,
indicates that the drivers of motor cars
are not the only persons who need
to be educated or regulated on street
and highway safety. Pedestrians must
between blocks. They must learn to
look in both directions before crossing.
They must learn that motorists have the
right of way between crossings and
that the only place where the pedes-
trian has the legal right of way to
cross is at the intersection. Any per-
son who runs or walks across the street
from behind parked cars without look
ing in both directions literally takes his
life in his hands"
Traffic lights, traffic policemen, stop
signs and slow signs are placed on the
streets for the protection Of all-both
motorists and pedestrians. All drivers
of motor vehicles are compelled by law
to- obey the signals of policemen and
all traffic signs and devices. II pedes-
trians continue to disregard the rules
laid down for their protection, guild
ance and safety the time will soon come
when the drivers of motor cars Will n-
sist that they be. compelled by law to
cross at crossings and to cross on proper
signal.
I'VE hear a great deal Of criticism by
pedestrians of the right turn and the
left turn of motor vehicles at con-
trolled intersections. AS matter OF
fact our serious accidents to pedestrians
are not being caused by the right turn
or the left turn at controlled mtersec-
tions. They are occurring between
intersections and are due for the most
part, as the records will show, to the
negligence and carelessness OF the
pedestrians themselves. Wool-gatherlng
pedestrians are becoming as serious
menace on the street as wool-gatherlng
motor vehicle drivers.
Drivers Not Blameless.
DRIVERS of motor cars are not al
ways blameless in these middle-of- the
block collisions with pedestrians. HIS
excuse is that he did not see the pedes-
trian in time to stop, that 1t was rain
ing, that he was blinded by glaring
lights or that he was trying to avoid
being struck by another car. As a mat
ter Of fact he should under all OF these
circumstances have been driving more
carefully. He should have his car
under proper control at all times. He
should not drive faster than conditions
warrant under the peculiar circum-
stances prevailing at that particular
time and place"
The above is well worth considering.
In it is brought out the same view that
was expressed recently in this column.
That is that pedestrians, too, should be
instructed how to walk on the streets
of Washington. A school for motorists
and a school for pedestrians is needed,
even a correspondence course would
help.

Kinds of Publicity.

Just what some kinds of publicity
mean and what it does not mean was
brought out last week. Countless news
paper offices are constantly receiving
the pictures of some actresses seated
in various makes of automobiles. Many
editors are of the opinion that it does
not mean anything to the reading pub
Lie if so-and-so is in particular car,
whether she sponsors 1t or not.
Last week prominent girl athlete
lost her amateur standing, temporarily
at least, because picture was published
OF her aStride one particular model.
She says she did not sponsor the car.
Well, probably a few editors now are
glad they did not sponsor publication of
the picture.
