HOLLYWOOD, Cal, July g.
H When the last scene has been

PROPER INVITATIONS
FOR TIRES DIFFICULT
Air Pressure Has Much to Do
With Mileage, Engineers
Find.

theoretically, the average tire should
travel fifty or sixty thousand miles
before 1t is thrown into the discard
but actually 1t doesn't travel nearly
that far
There are too many adverse factors
Take the matter of air pressure. Many
motorists pride themselves on their
maintenance Of the proper pressure.
But how many motorists know they
can start out on a hot day with the
exact poundage required and, because
OF higher air and pavement tempera-
lures, by noon nave to is pounds too
much?
This was forciby brought To light
recently by engineers In carefully con-
Quoted tire-wear tests in a Western
State. To make the tests EQUITABLE It
was, OF course, necessary to keep the
tires at pressure as constant as pos
sible. The engineers found 1t neces-
sary to test the pressure every hour or
two. During a typical mornings run
8 to 10 pounds of air had to be let out
Of the tires In order to maintain the
established 4o-pound pressure. During
the afternoon, when the air tempera-
ture and pavement temperatures be-
came lower, 1t was necessary to add
air to keep up the desired pressure.
Rough pavement surfaces also have
much to do with the early demise of
tires, the engineers found. Through
q thorough and accurate method of
testing tire wear by losses in weight
and actual tread depth measurements,
it was determined. for example, that
the rate OF wear is 81 per cent greater
in travelling over non-skid asphaltic
pavement than 1t is on concrete. The
tests were made under comparable con-
ditiOnS.

Street and Highway Safety. They will
work for q uniform motor vehicle reg
iStration act, q uniform motor vehicle
anti-theft act, a uniform motor vehicle
operators and chauffeurs' license act, a
uniform act regulating traffic on high

nance for enactment by municipalities,
a standard manual on street trafflc
signs, signals and markings and an act
for the periodical inspection of all mo-
tor vehicles.
Safety Education.
The second phase of the Legion's
safety program will be the promotion Of
safety education in the schools Of the
Nation. Over 1900 children were
killed by accidents in the United States
last year, nearly half as many lives as
were lost by the American expeditionary
forces during the last year Of the World
War. This Is vital problem of great
interest to the American Legion. The
Legion will work actively with super
intendents of schools and other agencies
that are already doing work In the
safety education field. Such work as
has already been done In the schools is
responsible for saving Of $500 chill
dren's lives each year.
approximately 10000 lives are lost In
home accidents each year and 1t is es-
timated that for every fatal accident
here are $50 non-fatal injuries. This
indicates that there Is just as much
need for safety in the household as on
the street or In the industrial plant.
The American Legion Auxiliary will as
sist in this phase of the program.
Interested In Welfare.
The American Legion has from its
inception been vitally interested in the
welfare Of local communities, and it
realizes that there is no community
problem today that is of more impor-
tance than safety. The Legion suggests
an organization In every town In which
an American Legion post is located with
the hope that its efforts will be an i'm
portant factor in the making of safer
and happier communities.

Milady's Motoring
BY FREDERICK @. RUSSELL.

The whole thing is quite simple. al
though it required many years Of re-
search in order TO make it trustworthy.
When the electrical circuit is closed by
the act Of turning the switch the start
er circuit Is also closed. Thus the de-
vice does what you do now when you
press on the starter button Of your
present car.
This automatic device also pauSes IN
its action If for any reason the starter
pinion gear fails TO mesh with the gear
around the fiywheel of the engine.
You've probably heard the starter MAX
ing a whirring sound without actually
cranking the engine, and your service
man has explained that you must keep
your foot of the button until the noise
ceases. The automatic starter attends
to all this without any thought on your
part.
II you haven't already guessed the
answers to the questions above here
they are:

causes the rear end to sag and tiltS the
front axle adversely.

Approximately 100000 reckless and
financially irresponsible drivers would
be prohibited from using the highways
of the United States each year If every
State enacted and enforced the safety
responsibility law now in effect In Is
States and four Canadian provinces.
This statement was made recently by
owen B. Augspurger, chairman of the
Safety Responsibility Committee of the
American Automobile Association. Mr..
Augspurger's statement was based on
the excellent results secured under the
Ontario financial responsibility law
which parallels closely the A. A. A.
model bill. He said:
Satisfactory Evidence.
"The figures of the Ontario Motor
Vehicle Department, as analyzed by r.
Leighton Foster, superintendent of in
surance for the province, offer highly
satisfactory evidence that the legisla-
ton is proving to be effective along
three distinct lines:
THE Ontario law Is compelling the
reckless operator to protect the public
by establishing his financial RESPONSE
bility by means of a certificate of liza
bility insurance, or by means of the
bond Of a recognized surety company
or by CASH deposit. 1t is prohibiting
the use of the highway to the operator
whose recklessness has been proven,
but who has failed to establish proof
of his financial responsibility to re-
spond to damages he may cause. Un-
der the threat Of loss of driving rights
as prescribed In the law, the law Is
proving a strong incentive to the pay
ment by a motorist of damages result
ing from his careless operation of a
motor vehicle"
Chairman Augspurger cited the On
tario figures to show that during the
first 16 months of the operation Of the
law, ending December 81, 1881, the
operators licenses and owners permits
of 4,351 motorists were suspended. OF
this number, 1,642 regained their per-
mits by proving their financial respon-
sibility. OF the remaining 2,709, 1t is
indicated that at least $500 were ruled
of the highways, not only in Ontario,
but also off the highways Of other
Canadian provinces and American
States where the law Is in effect. He
continued:

responsibility was posted under the law

discloses that 10 per cent Of the motor
lists involved would not today be insured
and probably would not be financially
responsible were it not for the financial
responsibility law. Commissioner Foster
is not exaggerating when he states that
the Ontario experiences disclose a great
achievement without injustice to or
penalizing of the careful in order to get
at the careless driver.
Perhaps the most interesting aspect
Of the Ontario experience Is the light
it sheds on the effect Of the payment
of Judgment feature of the law. 1t has
been demonstrated that the threat of
reporting an unsatisfled civil judgment
TO the authorities is apparently all that
Is needed in most cases to force settle
ment OF the Judgment. It appears
that in the great majority of instances,
judgments were settled. Only Al motor
lists lost their driving privileges by
reason Of failure to pay such judg-
ments.
Opinion Of Registrar.
"The Ontario registrar Of motor
vehicles has expressed the opinion that
figures issued by his department need
not be expected to show at any time the
full value of the payment of Judgment
feature Of the act. He says that cor
TeSpOnQence Win SOlclLOrS ana az
torneys for parties in civil action aris-
ing out of motor vehicle accidents in
dicated that in most cases the threat of
a Judgment creditors solicitor TO report
the failure of the judgment debtor TO
pay the judgment is sufficient to force q
prompt settlement.
"On the basis Of the Ontario figures,
it can be conServatiVely estimated that
II every State in the Union had the
safety responsibility law and enforced
it vigorously, $4,000 motorists would
be required to post proof Of financial
responsibility in the United States every
year. While If the Ontario percentage
held, 95. 1000 careless and financially ir-
responsible motorists would be denied
the use Of the highways for failure to
comply with the provisions of the law.
THUS, while 1t would only affect less
than one-half of one per cent Of the
drivers, it would unquestionably strike
at the criminal minority responsible for
the large majority of motor vehicle ac-
cidents and in course of time would
bring this class under definite disci-
piine and control"

BY HENRY L. STEVENS,

National Commander OF the American
Legion.
With over 10000 posts in the United
States and membership of over 1,000.-
900, the American Legion Is eminently
equipped to do outstanding work in the
accident prevention field. The Amer
lean Legion has for some time realized
the terrible problem Of street and high
way safety which confronts every COM
munity in our Nation. There is hardly
a town, city or hamlet that has not paid
its toll in loss of life and limb The
figures are appalling; at least $4,000
men, women and children were killed
in motor vehicle accidents during the
year 1881, and approximately million
manned and injured.
Booklet Prepared.
After giving careful study to this
problem and with the active co-opera-
ton of the National Bureau of Casualty
& Surety Underwriters, and with col
laboration on the part of the American
ism Commission Of the American
Legion, a booklet on community safety
activities for American Legion Posts has
just been prepared and distributed to
the 10000 American Legion Posts
throughout the Nation.
The activities that the American
Legion will engage in are as follows:
1t is planned to have in each commu-
nifty a committee which will contact
State officials and other agencies that
are now engaged in accident prevention
work. The set-up calls for each post
to have its own committee Of at least
seven people to carry on activities in its
local community One of the outstand-
ing needs that the American Legion sees
is the speedy adoption by the various
States Of the Union of uniform motor
vehicle laws. It is the hope Of the
American Legion that it can help ma
terially in molding public opinion In IA
vor of such uniform laws in all States
The posts will therefore put them
selves behind the uniform motor vehicle

Car owners Of the country paid ap-
proximately 00,000,000 IN registra-

taxes during 1881 and 1t was the second
year that the motor tax bill has reached
the billion mark, according to the Dis
trict Of Columbia division of the Ameri-

The statement was made on a he SIS
OF preliminary figures of the national

registration fees. $500, 900 in paso-
line taxes and $15o,Ooo,OOo in personal

that 1t Is already at hand in the form
OF principles for equitable taxes ad-
vanced by the A. A A. National Tax-
alton Committee, which it cited as
follows:
Article l. Motor taxes should be
confined to two forms. One tax to be
the equivalent of a property tax. ex-
pressed preferably through equitable
registration fees, and the other TO be a
tax upon the privilege Of using street
and road facilities to be expressed
through tax on fuel consumption.
Article 2. The imposition and COL
lection Of motor vehicle taxes should be
vested in single agency-namely, the
State.
Article 8. All motor vehicle taxes
should be placed in a special State
iuho ana USED under State direction for
the creation and maintenance of trunk
line facilities in rural and urban areas,
SO that motor taxes shall be disbursed
through the least number of govern
mental units, exercising the highest
regional authority.
Article 4. Motor vehicle taxes should
at all times be levied with a due regard
to the ability of the owner to paw as
well as to the equitable distributor of
