ANCIENT CAR HELD
MENACE TO SAFETY
Not Physically Equipped to
Cope With Emergencies,
Says Salesman.

One Of the foremost obstacles to
promotion Of maximum safety on public
highways is the large number of an
tiquated, dilapidated motor cars to be
found In every section Of the United
States, according to N. E. McDarby,
vice president in charge of sales of
the Auburn Automobile Company.
These ramshackle vehicles constitute
genuine menace in normal traffic,
Mr.. McDarby said, because they are not
physically equipped to cope with the
emergencies every driver must face in
the course OF daily driving.
Many Dangers.
Weak brakes, worn gears, doubtful
tires, loose steering knuckles, leaky gas
lines, smoking exhausts, reluctant
engines-these are only few of the
factors which render such cars unsafe,
he said. not only to those who operate
them but also to the careful drivers
who must travel the same highways
with these obsolete vehicles.
although statistics compiled by the
National Automobile Chamber of Com
merce place the average life Of an
automobile at seven years" he said,
a recent survey of the automobile
field showed that approximately one
out Of every ten cars in operation, was
eight or more years old.
IA Per Cent Worthless
In round figures, 100000 of the
22,300,000 automobiles registered on
that date had passed their allotted
span Of life, while another 100000
had just reached the seven-year mark.
This neans that more than fourteen
per cent Of all cars on American high
ways at the outset Of 1882 were ready
for permanent retirement.
1T Is impossible for such cars to be
operated with absolute safety, regard
less OF the care the driver may exercise.
When the car Is mechanically unreli-
able there is always danger Of failure
at critical moments-at street intersec-
tions. on steep grades, at railroad
crossings. narrow bridges, or any of the
scores Of hazards which must be faced
every day"

$3.50 MILES OF ROADS
THREE LANES OR WIDER
State of New York Has Most of
Modern Roadways, A. A. A.
Reports.

There are approximately 3,7e0 miles
of State highways in the country hav-
ing more than two traffic lanes, the
greater part of the mileage being three
lane roads, according to the District
of Columbia Division of the American
Automobile Association.
The District of Columbia Division
bases its statement on studies made by
the United States Bureau of Public
Roads, which disclosed that there are
2,230 miles of three-lane highways,
1885 miles of four-lane roads. 83 miles
of five-lane arteries and 90 miles of six
lanes or over on the State systems.
THE Bureau" it was said. found
that the excess of three-lane over four
lane roads is largely accounted for by
figures from the State of New York,
which reports 914 miles Of three-lane
roads and only 1876 miles having four
lanes. Illinois, in contrast, has only
seven miles of three-lane roads and 251
miles with four lanes.
Studies of traffic in the above con-
nection, indicate that the working ca
pacity of three-lane road is 1000 We
hicles per day and 5000 for fourlane
highway"

AUTOMOTIVE BRIEFS

The De Soto Motor Co. has in the
Auditorium this week a miniature
factory production line working model
which was on exhibition at the New
York show. This is the first time a
display Of this nature has been on
view here. It is duplicate Of the
De Soto factory and is said to have cost
$4,000. It is operated by electricity.
Approaching the importance of the
Washington area as a retail market
and as the Nations Capital, the Chev-
rolet Motor Co. recently established a
factory branch Office here in a suite
on the fourth floor of the Transporta-
tion Building, at Seventeenth and H
streets northwest. This Office was
established to bring the facilities Of the
Chevrolet Motor Co. closer to the
Washington public and dealers so that
more convenient contracts are available.
The Washington Office IS under the
management of j. E. johnson, zone
manager in Baltimore and is being
operated by George c. Shroyer, who
has been with Chevrolet many years.
w. W. Bailey, manager Of Bailey's
Tire Stores, with branches at several
locations in Washington, announces
that his organization has taken over
the building at Fourteenth and p
streets northwest. This large building,
after extensive alterations are COM
pleted, will be used as a central sales
room, office headquarters and storage
room. Bailey has been well known in
the automotive and tire business here
for many years and has had the dis
tributorship for United States tires for
some time.

UPS AND DOWNS TEST
MOTOR CAR BUSINESS
Last Three Years Have Provided
Excellent Measure for
Management.
BY w. H. BEAL,
President, Auburn Co.

The ups and downs of business be-
come important only when company
policies are founded on expediency
Those who build for permanency. for
the long haul, see in such periods as
the present testing ground for the
worth Of their policies.
The last three years have provided an
excellent measure for management.
Those companies which have been
founded on fundamentally sound busi-
ness policies are emerging to stronger
positions than ever before.
This is particularly true Of the auto
mobile industry, which because of its
amazing growth and natural demand
from the public for cars. has had its
frst major test, as an industry in mer-
chandising
When incomes are less the public is
apt to make price paramount. Cheap
ness in price Of product becomes an
all important factor. There IS the
temptation for manufacturers and busi-
ness men to resort to practices of ex-
pediency-to meet the demand for price,
making quality secondary.

NOISY VALVES
Bent Stems or Seats Not True May
Be Cause.

Owners who are determined to keep
their motors quiet should consider some
of the less common causes of tappet
noise. This concerns driving as well
as servicing.
Tappets will "float," for instance, if
the motor is neither pulling the car
steadily nor the car driving the motor
on the formers momentum. All the
clearance then comes to play and the
valves are certain to be noisy. A clever
driver can keep valves running quietly
If only this normal condition prevails.
Most of the noises in valves are due
to the fact that the stems are bent
or that the valve seats are not true
with the plane of the motor block
Correcting this is a matter of using
the newer systems of valve recondi-
tioning.
In valve-in-head motors cases have
been found where the rocker arms have
struck the valve spring caps, especially
where these are too thick or not the
type originally intended for the motor.

PREDICT SCRAMBLE
!, ON CAR TURN4NS.
Year Offers Unique Chance
/ to Trade In Old Auto
mobile.

With nearly 25,o0o,o00 motorists get
sing ready to sell their present cars in
brder to step aboard the new models
within the next few years, 1t begins to
look as If the owner who doesn't know
some Of the fundamentals of merchan-
dising, not to mention the newer angles,
is going to pay the penalty. Last years
sale of new cars did not exceed 1,500,-
pO0 units. Only about that number of
motorists can be said to have new au-
tomobileS and thus not to be in the
market to unload their old wares.
What Is Old Car Worth?
What are you going to get for that
Gar you have been making do another
gear and another?
1t is question that millions of mo-
florists will shortly be asking themselves.
en the business Of hanging on to their
present cars most owners have forgot
ten about the future. The idea that
some day they will be trying to unload
what they now own does not seem to
occur to them. Some amusingly hold
to the belief that automobile dealers will
offer the same allowance next year as
they do now.
There probably will be a wild scram-
BILE to get cut of the used car market,
and many insiders anticipate that used
cars will slump in value to the vanish
ing point Tomorrow offers little prom

Keen Competition Seen.
+ There are in any markets and under
,hny conditions certain rules to help
fmake merchandise more salable, and
'Dwner today. Because automobile deal
ers have cleaned house and have by
necessity been forced to go on more
sound financial basis, they will not be
able to offer as much for used cars in
the future as they do today. Most
owners will find it preferable to sell
their cars in the open used market and
then do their new car shopping with
i cash. This market will be highly COM
petitive. While you are offering your
flve-year-old machine, some neighbor
who has landed good job and is on
the road to prosperity again will be
turning in his three-year-old car.
One way to help maintain the used
car valuation is to keep the machine
as modern as possible Certain acces-
sories can be added that will make the
machine more attractive to the buyer
In this category are heaters, twin horns
and luggage equipment. Mechanically
the car can be brought more down to
date with the addition of automatic
clutch control. improved shock absorbers
and some of the engine accessories,
such as valve lubricators and injectors
for carbon binder solvents Those who
in the old car can make up their minds
that they are not going to find a ready
buyer,

WHEEL PITCH AID
Method Given to Prevent Wear on
Tires and Steering Faults.

In more cases than motorists realize
wear on tires and steering trouble are
due to the front wheels not having
enough pitch. 1t is assumed that be-
cause of wear on the king pins and
bushings pitch may vary while car
is in operation, but it is not generally
known that pitch may decrease because
of constant strain on the axle
The remedy is to bend the front axle
In such way that the center is forced
up little, thus bringing the ends down
and giving the wheels the necessary de-
gree of pitch. This job can be per-
formed easily by any alignment expert
who has the necessary "teeterack" for
this sort of work.
Two jacks are placed near the center
Of the axle in this process. A clevis
is then put over each end Of the axle
between the wheel and the spring beds.
When pressure is applied to the jacks
the axle bends upward at the center
and downward at the ends.

Adjust Brakes to Match.

Drivers who are not in the habit of
making quick stops should not have the
brakes adjusted for as much as go per
cent on the front wheels. When a car
stops suddenly its weight tips forward,
reducing rear wheel traction. Where
such stopping is INDUCED in regularly.
more braking force should be applied to
the front wheels and less to the rear.
The 60-40 proportion is preferred for
such cases. If the car is not stopped
suddenly. however. there is possibility
