measures in the prevention Of acci-
dents has more than justified itself
and will be made a permanent fea-
ture. it was announced by Col. Heinrich
A. Pickert. police commissioner.
Commissioner Pickert declares that
the number of persons cut by shat
tered glass in accidents has been sub
stantially reduced since the Michigan
State law requiring safety glass in
motor vehicles became effective last
July
The State law requiring safety glass
in automobiles is the best thing that
ever happened" Commissioner Pickert
says. Already it has brought very
encouraging results. The public is re-
spending with fine spirit"
One of the largest contributing
causes to the rising tide of traffic ac-
cidents and serious injuries is the use
of faulty equipment. including poor
brakes, wornout tires and shatterable
glass, DR.. Frank G.. Kreft. nationally
known coroner of Lucas County, Ohio,
told leaders at a safety conference
which inaugurated an aggressive ac-
lIOCIlL- pICFellIlUIl CdIupdlSH.
Coroner Views Dangers.
Coroner Kreft. who has handled
thousands of accident cases through
out Northern Ohio, involving the sud-
den deaths of many hundreds of per-
sons, declared that shattered glass has
played major role in the tragic end
ing and manning of thousands of vic
Tins. Coroner Kreft believes that this
toll would be reduced by more than
half if safety glass was used univer-
sally in automobiles.
The fact is that an automobile ac-
cident is unusual where at least some
one of the victims is not cut or pitt
fully Scared for life by the old style
of shatterable glass" Coroner Kreft
said. Il have seen many cases, more
than half, where death or injury would
not have resulted if it had not been
for the glass. We know, at least. that
safety glass greatly reduces this haz-
ard in accidents"
With nine States already requiring
safety glass in automobiles, and other
States considering legislation to make
its use compulsory, safety glass all
around in motor vehicles will play an
important part in the sales campaigns
Of leading manufacturers this Fall, it
is indicated by automotive sales Off
cials.
Although all manufacturers are in
stalling safety glass in the windshields
and ventilators of their cars as stand
ard equipment to meet the new condi-
tions, there is growing demand from
the public for this greater protection
in all the windows as well. Leading
producers expect to benefit by this de-
mand through featuring in their sales
campaigns plan for obtaining safety
glass all around at the lowest costs in
the history of the industry.

WH|TEHURST HITS
GAS TAX DIVERSION
D. c. Highway Director Says
Road Builders Will Discuss
Topic at Convention.

The use of the gasoline tax in It's
entirety for the construction and
maintenance of highways will be one
of the chief topics of discussion at
the annual meeting of the American
Road Builders Association in Wash
ington next January. Capt. H. C.
Whitehurst, director of highways of
the District and president of the as
sociation. says in announcing tenta-
tive plans for the convention program.
Capt. Whitehurst points out that
the diversion of the gasoline tax for
purposes other than highway construc-
ton is one of the most serious prob
lens confronting the building
program in this country.
Diversion Increasing.
For the past several years the
diversion of the gasoline tax from the
highway program has increased in
leaps and bounds. 1t has been used
for all sorts of purposes, most of
which have absolutely nothing to do
with highway conStruction-the pur-
pose for which the gasoline tax was
originally intended.
During the past year approximately
5000, 900 of the gasoline tax has
thus reducing the construction and
maintenance of highways by this
amount. One Of the great problems
of the highway officials and highway
users at the present time is to return
to the use Of the highway program the
gasoline tax that is now being diverted
for other purposes.
Capt. Whitehurst says that figures
compiled by the American Road
Builders Association show that the
construction of highways in this
country has provided work for thou
sands of people and recently has con-
tributed toward remedying the unem-
ployment situation.
1T has been shown conclusively in
this time of unemployment that high
way construction and maintenance is
absolutely the quickest way to cure
the unemployment program for it
affords means of putting more peo-
pie to work in more different places
and in quicker time than any other
form of public construction"
Construction Slowed Up.
The diversion of the gasoline tax is
only one of the factors that has slowed
up construction and retarded main
tenance of our highway systems, Capt.
Whitehurst says. Many other prob
lens will be discussed at the conven-
ton.
An extensive attendance building
program urging the membership to
attend the meeting is now under way.
Assisting the American Road Builders
Association with this program is the
Greater National Capital Committee.
The association membership Is made
up of a cross section of the entire
highway industry and profession-en-
gineers and officials of the various
States, of more than 1,700 counties,
and approximately 500 of the larger
cities: a large number of consulting
engineers as well as large member
ship Of highway contractors and ma
terial producers. and practically all

tl1rers IN the country.

and the ability to mix with larger
proportions Of air.

In judging the relative merits of
different brands Of lubricating oil, be
careful that comparisons are made
between oils of the same S. A. e. rat
ing. You may obtain better mileage
from an S. A. E. 40 than 80 oil, even
II the former is poorer brand.
Sometimes too heavy an oil will over
heat the motor and burn of quickly.
For a sensible conclusion, be sure to
check qualities on a strictly compare
tive basis.
Being alarmed at sight of a mess
OF rust and scale at the top Of the
radiator simply indicates lack of ap-
probation for the fact that the top
OF the system invariably looks the
worst. Have the entire cooling sys-
tenn reverse flushed and some emul.
styling radiator oil added with the
new water. In preparation for the
cold season ahead there is no time
like a fine Fall day for making .
good job of this.
Having the breaker points checked
over is one Of the most effective ways
to speed up the Fall start. 1t Is not
enough to clean or replace the points.
They must be carefully spaced and
aligned, and If there are two sets they
must be synchronized. A condenser
test is essential when having this
work done, and the job is not COM
plete without test of the tension of
the brake arm springs.
When you are rolling along in traf-
flc. do you ever stop to realize that
about one car out of every three does
not have sufficient brakes? Four
wheel brakes came into the American
motoring picture in 1920, but it was
not until several years later that the
early difficulties were ironed out.
Some observers say that good brakes
are an even more recent develop
ment. The latest figures show that
7,60s,874 cars in operation are over
seven years old. Keep them in mind
when you are tempted to turn on your
cars full braking power.

With the great amount Of extra

would appreciate that cars specially

actly the same results as with original
equipment In nine cases out Of ten
results will be better with the special
equipment, but there is no escaping
the fact that they will be different.
