BY G. ADAMS HOWARD.

even break In the traffic flow. A light
is needed at that intersection and
needed badly, but why not give the
northbound man an even break, too?
Further out on Massachusetts, avenue
there's a bad spot which the traffic au-
thorities might do well to mark with
some kind Of warning sign. At the in
tersection of Nebraska and MaSsachu-
sets avenues on the southwest corner,
telephone post sticks up right at the
corner. The great wonder Is that it
has not been knocked over many times
at night by motorists turning south on
Nebraska avenue from Massachusetts,.
for 1t looms up almost in the middle Of
the turn. and if you are not careful,
you'll rub fender off.
Still further down in the northwest
section there's another bad spot which
causes plenty of waiting and inconven-
ience during the rush hours. We refer
to the K street bridge over Rock Greek,
down below M street. which lots of mo-
torists use to get down onto the COM
pleted portion of the Rock Creek -Poto-
mac Parkway. Every morning and
every evening there Is a rush across
that narrow bridge, flanked on each
side by high steel f1anges which cut off
much Of the view. Some day there's
going to be a serious accident at that
intersection, for it is used heavily by
trucks and passenger cars and there are
times when the traffic is SO heavy it is
almost impossible to get onto the bridge.
A traffic light would help lot, and it
wouldn't have to be on much more than
two hours a day. Try making a left
turn onto that bridge about $50 some
morning and you'll see what we mean.
Safety standards really designed to re-
duce accidents and possibly save lives
would seem to dictate that the steel
sides of the bridge be cut down and a
traffic light installed at this intersec-
ton Doubtless there are many more
like it,
The true mark Of greatness in driv-
ing a motor vehicle is freedom from
accidents. But if freedom from acci-
dents means a considerable reduction
in running time it does not coincide
with modern traffic handling. Traffic
lights can be reduced in number, but
there are some spots where lights will
do really worthwhile service.
Insulated Body.
And now comes the insulated auto
mobile body, protected like fine house,
from heat, cold and noise. The in
sulation is not the kind that goes
around Sparkplug wires, but thermal
insulation that bars the passage of heat
and cold. and sound insulation that
shuts out noise. Used on the dash
panel which separates the motor from
the passenger compartment, this ma
terial shuts out engine heat and sound
far more effectively than can any thick
ness of metal.
The adoption of insulation board in
the construction of automobile bodies
follows its coming into general use in
good homes during the past 10 years,
and its more recent appropriation by
leading airplane manufacturers to pro-
test passengers in their cabin planes
from cold and noise.

Milady's Motoring
BY FREDERICK C. RUSSELL.

1t is said the ability to forget is
the true token of greatness, but don't
forget to tell that to the officer who
tags you for parking.
She was dummy at bridge but not
so dumb. "One thing I have never
worried about in driving and that is
having to go into low gear on steep
upgrade" she said. Il pride myself on
knowing enough to shift to second gear
before the car loses all its momentum"
Why we have traffic accidents may
best be judged from the plan of one
woman. who cannot see cars coming
from behind when pulling out of
parking space. Her trick is to start to
nose out and If she doesn't hear the
horning of some alarmed driver she
considers it entirely safe to pull out
into the street.
Every now and again some brave
heart demands being given a first les
son at the wheel right in the thick
of traffic. Don't take me to one OF
those quiet streets for the preliminaries
or I'll never find the confidence to
tackle traffic" begged woman who
held this theory. Her instructor. how
ever, was wise enough to point out
that traffic driving has become rela-
lively simple. 1t is like following the
leader singing in the chorus, or going
with the mob. Starting and stopping
Honking of horns if you don't start

the car has brakes and bump into the

end streets-how different. Many
driver who is at the wheel day after
day cannot make successful U-turn
or put the car away at night in
public garage.
Women who are spending the Sum
mer at the shore should follow the
plan of one debutante who never has
any difficulty with rusted parts OF the
carburetor. She regularly adds can
full of special valve oil to the fuel
in the main tank The oil lubricates
the carburetor float mechanism and
needle valve. preventing one Of the most
common Of salt air dangers TO the car.

OVERHEATING Is CLEARED

Bad Condition of Valves Held One
of Many Causes.
Few motorists understand that poor
valves have anything to do with engine
overheating. They do not seem to ap-
preciate that when an engine isn't
efficient more gas must be fed to the
cylinders for desired power and speed,
resulting in a rise in operating tenn
perature.
Poor valves do not admit the normal
quantity Of gas for any given speed, nor
expel it as efficiently after it has done
its work They leak compression. which
is power. They may stick and thus
drag on the valve gear Even If there
is not the correct clearance at the tap

tendency toward oyerheating.
