SECONDARY ROUTE
MARKING NECESSARY
Would Prevent Delaying of Cross.
Country Motorist, Says Auto
Industrialist.

Development Of properly designated
secondary routes through American
cities so that country motorists
need not be delayed by traffic conges-
ton in the business districts is one Of
the biggest steps in solving the Nations
transportation problem, according to
Walter P. Chrysler, auto induStrialist.
Time consumed in passing through
cities is so large in proportion to the
general motoring time because of the
heavy urban traf1c encountered that
tourists and other long distance mo-
toristS are now seeking secondary
routes in an effort to save time How
ever, they are meeting considerable diff
fiCulty because such routes are not
marked and traffic regulations on them
are not conducive to uninterrupted
progress.
Cities could aid these motorists a
great deal by plotting out bypass
routes, properly designating them, and
setting up traffic regulations that would
not impede the through city driver And
if necessary the street should be Wild
ened and improved to the point where
they can easily carry the increased
traffic.
Belief that more trade could be OBJ
tanned from long-distance motorists by
forcing them through the business sec
ton for long time hindered the de-
velopment of secondary routes. But
now many cities are realizing that the
difference in trade is not appreciable
and that it is even better advertising
for the town to give the through mo-
torists an easy means Of crossing the
city.

Once more the automobile owner is
beginning 70 ask How many miles tc
the callon?" Economy in fuel con-
sumption, long neglected through the
leyeling wave Of gas price wars, slowly
but steadily comes TO the fore.
Some conception of the neglect Of
gas mileage may be had from the state
ment of a service man, who says that
he has no complaints about engine ef-
fciency until mileage drops below
miles TO the gallon The car he Serv-
ices is only 100 horsepower. Nineteen
makes carry motors with over 100
horsepower
Prospect OF Rise.
With the prospect of rising gasoline
prices. due not merely to curtailment
Of crude production. but to the fact
that refners must make a profit, the
automobile industry is faced with the
dilemma of not knowing how to furnish
the vast power output required for to-
days performance without asking the
motorIst TO pay for it in gas. Car
buretors are just about where they
were five years ago. DoWndraft car
buretion is the only recent improve
ment of importance in fueling.
One company has used three different
carburetors on its last four models in
Guiding the current model. yet there
has been no increase in mileage. Nor
has there been any demand for an in
crease.
The self-satisfied attitude Of the mo-
toring public with regard to gasoline
efficiency has been no incentive TO eX-
Fermentation along a line which in
the days Of 36-Cent gas was considered
vital and which in the predicted era OF
future high-priced fuel will be OF
primary consideration. Attention has
been diverted from the subject of fuel
costs by the low price Of tires and their
remarkable service
AS every motorist who has ever done
any calculating already knows, the cost
Of fuel is one Of the least expenses in
operating a car. This condition may
not maintain indefinitely. If gas were
as expensive in Florida today as it was
in New England 10 years ago. it would
cost a lot of motorists 43 cents per
mile for fuel alone. Floridas 7-cent
gas tax, plus even a fair average of 25
cents per gallon for gas. would boost
the price to 80 cents.
On Tax Band Wagon.
With every State on the tax band
wagon and the tax rate definitely on
the upsWing, despite the belated and
entirely justified lamentations Of those
who now realize the danger in this
form of assessment. the prospects are
that fuel in the very near future will
be a far bigger item in the motorists
expense account. There are those who
see fuel prices switching from night
mare for the oil industry to an halluci-
nation for the motoring public and a
puzzle to the automobile trade.
Free wheeling may be counted on as
one way to meet the possibility Of rising
gas costs and increased gas consump-
ton. The amount of free mileage OBJ
tained from free wheeling depends
largely on the skill and Judgment Of the
operator. At present many are losing
more in brakes and tires than they are
saving in fuel
The greatest benefit in free wheeling
from an economy standpoint. according
to those observers who have revived the
subject of how to get more miles to the

Opinion of Registrar.
Milady's Motoring
By FREDERICK c. RUSSELL.

One Of the new cars has six forward
speeds. That ought to pull any one
out of the depression.
Though starting the engine was the
first thing mere man did when trying
to school milady in the art of driving
a car. very frequently he now finds
himself her inferior when it comes to
going through this necessary preliml-
nary. was reminded Of this the other
evening when a friends husband in
vited his wife to do the cranking before
he took the wheel and assumed the re-
sponsibility of driving the family home
place at the wheel. you're better
versed in this than I. You're the first
every day to use the car. while I come
into the picture later when the motor
is well warmed up"
These grocery clerks who offer to
carry your bundles to the car mean
we'll. and probably need a breath OF
fresh air. but be sure their chivalry
and service do not run away with
them. This tip is passed along by the
woman VINO DOugnL provisions IOT dIl
elaborate dinner, only to reach home
with an empty car. Some one else got
a fine bundle of provisions and never
knew where it came from.
A month Of begging hubby to take
the car downtown to have it washed
does grow monotonous. But woman
who suffered this irritation decided not
to consider herself daunted. When a
heavy rain came along she drove the
car out of the garage. left it standing
for an hour, backed it into the garage
again, and spent half hour drying it
off with a chamois The result was a
surprisingly clean car.
Incidentally. your car will always
look cleaner in the morning if you will
let it stand in the rain on the drive
way before putting it away for the
night.
Just as you should look to see if the
gears are in neutral before starting to
crank, be sure to note whether the car
is set for free wheeling or for conven-
tional before you get under way. One

that hubby left the car set for conven-

take my hat of. too, to the woman
who applied some penetrating oil to the
union between the cars body and a left
rear fender. The day following she was
scheduled to have the fender removed
for a reconditioning. Such oil makes
it much easier for a fender man to re-
move the rusted nuts, and helps to cut
the cost Of the job.
Without a sufficient background In
the mechanical features of the auto
mobile the average woman who drives
a car is naturally enough mystifed with
the various new features, especially
those which have to do with free wheel
ing. 1t isn't so difficult, however, If
you start with a clear-Cut picture Of
the power line. which consists Of the
motor, a clutch to connect with the
transmission, the universal joints which
enable the propeller shaft to ad t
itself to the movements of the car, lie
gearing to turn the power around the
corner" to the rear axles and, finally,
the wheels.
When you break the power line at
the clutch the car coasts. That's sim
pie enough. With an automatic clutch
a special piston operated by the en-
CINE own suction, disengages the clutch
whenever you take your foot off the
acCelerator This provides free wheel
ing of one type
The other type Of free wheeling com
monty used is provided by a special
clutch device in back Of the transmits
sion. 1t comes into operation every
time you want to use the cars momen-
tum and let the engine idle In each
Of these types, as well as in third form
where the free wheeling unit is in the
transmission itself, the car remains in
gear. You could free-whcel by shifting
to neutral, but that doos not meet legal
requirements, because you must have
special skill in order to know how to
shift back into gear again.

Future Thoughts.
With the new prosperity should come
the self lacking car, the 500-mile range
gas tank, and collision-proof construc-
ton. Cars will be standard equipped
with radio receivers and most OF the
better cars will also carry automatic
phonograph record changes SO that the
motorists can have his choice OF ether
programs or canned entertainment or
instruction when stopping by the road
side. Television receivers may be eX-
pected to make their appearance in au-
tomotive form.
Already the modern bumper is being
utilized for stabilizing the front end at
high speed. This has suggested numer-
Gus other possibilities in the line OF dual
purpose accessories, including the idea
of utilizing bumpers as reserves tor
oil and water.
The new prosperity will bring a new
type car. Hasten its creation by using
the latest the industry offers now.
