In the Motor World
BY G. ADAMS HOWARD.

1.-THE motor patrols are confronted
with a difficult and paradoxical task
They want to keep the traffic fluid, but
at the same time reduce the accidents
"How then can they cope with it?
They will certainly not cope with 1t by
rectoring or dragooning the public. The
public will never submit itself to police
dictation of an oppressive order. Nc
remedy lies along these lines.
1T is not by bullying the public, but
by friendship and alliance that this
work can be done. This alliance has
been rather strained in the past for the
motoring public was to a certain extent
estranged from the police through the
2O-mile speed limit Now, however, we
have a clean slate between us. Oul
law has been overhauled and remod-
eled in the light of modern ideas. We
must take it therefore that it repre-
sents the real will of the public"
England seems to have her problems
too, but it appears that feeling OF
friendship and understanding prevails
little more than in some OF our big
cities.
A New Exhibit.
Chicago has her automobile show the
same time as washington. But, &C
cording to reports, she is going to have
another one that should be OF interest
also. One has heard Of people living
in glass houses, but this Is a new one:
The first glass auto will be on exhibit
at a Century Of Progress, Chicago's
1888 World Fair.
It will be an extremely modern auto
of actual size, constructed entirely OF
glass panels except for nine vital parts
The color of this car will change con-
tinually, and as ono after the other of
the nine working parts becomes visible
through the glass it will be described
by means of electrical acoustics.
The nine parts to be described are
the radiator, timing chain, carburetor,
clutch, transmission, free wheeling, uni
versal Joint engine mounting and Wis
costly control.
In connection with the demonstration
each product will be shown in operation
in an upper panel, while Immediately
below will be shown a simple demon
stration of the principle involved-a
demonstration taken from the use OF
some household device.
For instance, action Of the carbu-
rotor will be demonstrated by means OF
an ordinary perfume atomizer, heat con-
troll by hot plate, the manifold by
vacuum cleaner-all in action. Just as
the carburetor changes gasoline into a
spray, heats and sucks it into the cylin-
ders of a car, SO will the glass auto
operate in terms of the functioning OF
familiar household articles
Road Funds Sought.
Work relief will receive a severe set
back unless Congress continues Federal
aid road appropriations on the present
basis of SIPS, 100000 per year, declares
the American Road Builders Associa-
ton in a statement recently issued.
Road building is perhaps the only
Government activity that can be singled
out as having created any considerable
amount of work for the jobless," points
out the association. THE value Of road
construction as a means of providing
work has been realized everywhere dur
ing the last two years.
"In order to speed up road construc-
ton and the employment of men, the
Federal Government has advanced to
the States a total of 100000 in
emergency road appropriations. This
money is to be refunded to the Govern
ment by the States from future Federal
aid allotments, which will result in
lesSened building"
