NAVY MARRIAGE
! BAN RAPED
BY WOMEN

The Navy's two-year moratorium
on marriages for Annapolis gradu-
ates today brought forth critical
comment in the feminine bloc"
of the House.
The issue was precipitated
when Representative Cochra n
CD of Missouri introduced bill
to set aside the Navy ruling and
prohibit a similar ruling being
applied to West Point cadets.
Mrs. Norton OutspOken
Mrs. Mary T. Norton CD Of
New Jersey. unofficial mayor"
of Washington as chairman OF
the House District Committee,
was outspoken in her opposition
to the ruling. She said:
"Tt seems it is an interfer-
ence in personal affairs. If the
Government is going to inter-
fere in private lives to the ex-
tent of saying when men and
women may marry, it is a Seri-
Gus question"
Mrs. Florence Kahn (R0 of
California, a proud grandmother,
admitted there may be two sides
to the question. She wants to
know the reasons for the ruling.
She said:
"In civil life young married
people who are poor generally
associate with others in the
same position. In the Army or
Navy they may try to keep up
socially when they can't afford
it."

BRAKES,
SAVE LIVES,
IS PLEA

If the automobile authorities
could get every motorist il
America to ask four other motor
lists once annually, How are
your brakes?" many thousands
of lives would be saved every
year and the deadly accident
problem would be reduced by 6
considerable percentage.
This is the opinion of w. T
Palmer, who for two years has
been studying the why's anc
whereforeS of the huge annual
toll of motorized mishaps. He
says:
I'm the compulsory annual
inspection just being completed
BY the police Of Pennsylvania
of more than 100000 cars
owned in the State, IS per cent
Of the vehicles have been
found in need Of adjustment or
repairs in order to make them
safe for modern traffic.
Already, since the adjusting
and repairing of these cars
have been under way, a ma
tcrial reduction has taken
place in the Pennsylvania ac-
cident rate. Many lives have
been saved and much misery
and expense avoided.
There you have one EN-
phatic and convincing answer
to part of the accident prob
lem. Why can't the idea be
copied nationally?
"The dangerous condition OF
the million and more cars in
Pennsylvania is similar to that
existing in every State and 1t
is largely the result Of carless-
ness and thOughtlessness.
"If every mOtOriSt were
asked three or four times a
year the simple question, How
are your brakes?, it would re-
mind him of his responsibility
for the motoring safety of
himself and his family.
"He would have his car in.
spected by experts at no cost
and would have adjustments
and repairs made to vital
safety parts-brakes, wheels,
steering gear and lights. And
he'd be contributing to a re-
ductiOn of accidents in his
State"

Taking OIUn Autos
Abroad NOU Possible

Motorists planning their vaca,
tions abroad this summer can now
take their own automobiles for
touring purposes, for limited
time, free of import duty. 1t is
necessary to obtain the required
customs passes and international
travelling pass. The foreign divi-
sion of the A. A. A. will advise
motorists regarding shipping.

NEGLECT
TENDERS

A car with a clean. shiny body
and weather.worn, rusty tenders
is not unlike a man wearing
new coat and dirty old trousers.
In both cases the upper half
fails to impress because the en-
semble is spoiled by what is in
derneath.
Fortunately, tenders are as
easily cleaned and pressed" as
a pair of trousers. In the many
brands of touch-up enamel on the
market today the motorist has
the means of keeping all rust
spots on tenders, bumper sup
ports, frame, tire carrier, lamp
brackets, ETC., under perfect con-
troll.

ing synthetic lacquer" which ad-

Routes Up Nearly As
Interesting As Peaks
Themselves

The Berkshire Hills in western
Massachusetts, are in a region
of such great charm that motor
lists who have once made a trip
into this section come back sea-
son after season. Here is coun-
try of tumbling waterfalls, of
mountain lakes surrounded by
forests, of broad valleys and
winding rivers, of sunlit slopes
and shady villages, and with the
primary factor of good roads, so
important to the motorist. And
since these hills are so close to
Washington it is possible to make
a trip up here several times dur
ing the year, thus enjoying the
beauty of the countryside at diff
ferent seasons.
Fine scenic highways run into
the Berkshires from all direc-
tions. From New York and
points south there are three main
roads generally used, according
to the Automobile Club of Amer.
ica-the Harley Valley Road, the
one up the Housatonic Valley
and the Albany Post Road to
Poughkeepsie, and then through
Millbrook.
For the first named, at the
present time to avoid the con-
Struction between White Plains
and Bedford, the Bronx River
Parkway and its extension should
be followed out Of New York City

Buying Tires NOW
Still Avoids Taxes

Motorists of the nation will
increase their tire bill $4,000, 900
annually, but the tax while it will
tend to raise prices will not con-
stitute a heavy burden on the
consumer because of the prevail
ing low prices of tires, according
to James Petty, manager Of the
Firestone branch.
Petty stated that thousands OF
Washington motorists are taking
advantage of the present dealers

cause tires sold prior to June 81

SCIENCE KEEPS
TIRES IN PACE
WITH CARS

NEW YORK, June 30.-Only
scientific research has kept the
Improvement in automobile tires,
originally designed for use on
easy dirt roads, in pace with the
speed-tempting highways that
cFiss-cross the country.
Due to the wear and tear on
tire treads, according to an i'm
portant rubber company Official,
the cost of operating a car ad-
vances in proportion to the in
crease Of speed over a certain
normal rate.
In the current issue of the
) Executive Service Bulletin, pub
liShed by the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company, J. F.
O'Shaughnessy, vice-president Of
one Of the largest rubber COM
panieS in the world, states!
"The mOtOriSt today gets six
times as much mileage out Of
D tire as he did Is years ago,
despite the fact that demand
on tire performance has grown
heavier each year."
Power Has Grown
He shows that in five years
the average horse power Of IL
popular makes of cars has in
creased 80 per cent, the average
weight has increased IS per cent,
and the size of wheels has de-
creased 20 per cent. He adds:
"AI these changes - more
power, more weight, more
speed, faster acceleratiOn, more
wheel revolutions - contribute
te faster tread wear. Yet, in
this five-year period, the auto
mobile tire not only has met
these requirements, but has
been improved to the point
where it is actually 10 per
cent better than the tire that
cushioned the 1927 car"
Tells of Tests

product. They have IS raw ma.

According to Goldhursh's at
torney, the couple met last
summer through a marriage
broker and were married in a
religious ceremony but failed to
get a license. Griffith said
that the cause Of the disagree

understood that the other was

The climax of their romance,
it was said, came when Mrs.
