an order by ]. B. Trew for over ST.

In presenting the gigantic order Mr..
Trew said, Il have never in all my
experience in the motor car business
looked forward with greater conf

they can be built by the factory"
Dodge dealers and members of their

Oil Filler Cap May Cause
Oil Leak or Fatal
Accident.
BY FREDERICK C. RUSSELL.

The oil filler cap seems to be one
of those things you just push down
and forget about, yet it can be the
cause of anything from bad oil leak
to fatal accident. If it isn't down
enough to prevent escape of fumes
from the crankcase, and the engine is
in bad condition, the driver is apt to
be gassed to a point where she will
be unable to think clearly in an emer-
gency If the cap is down tightly,
provided it also serves as a breather
sure will be built up inside the crank
case. This will cause oil to find es-
cape around the rear main bearing.
More and more evidence Is piling
up to prove that fast driving costs
too much. I am speaking of cost in
terms of dollars and cents, leaving out
of the picture for the time being the
matter of safety. Dollars certainly
60 further when speed is cut down.
and the savings are measured in more
than gallons of gasoline. A survey
OF oil consumption, for instance. shows
that the trucks of one fleet use less
oil than the passenger cars operated
by the same firm. Whereas the trucks
consume one gallon of oil to every
1896 gallons of gasoline, the passenger
cars use gallon of oil to every 29.78
gallons of fuel. The difference is due
largely to the higher speed at which
the passenger cars travel.
It Is difficult to set any arbitrary
speed as the point at which oil and
gas consumption rise to extremes
One car may run economically at q
faster speed than another. In spite
Of rapidly mounting speeds, however,
the most economical speed still is sur
prisingly low. For one of the most
powerful 12-cylinder cars it is 20
miles an hour. Oil wastage is most
pronounced during sudden decelera-
tion, due to the fact that the pistons
are sucking against closed throttle.
The partial vacuum within the cylin-
ders during the suction strokes, there
fore, causes oil to suck up from the
crankcase. Usually if driver has to
make series of quick stops she is
also driving too fast for conditions and
is simply wasting gasoline building up
speed she can't use.

existing American and world records
for motorless flying.
Don Hamilton, District Government
employe, Marine Corps Reserve pilot
and nationally known soaring pilot,
will act as directing official of the
meet for the Soaring Society Of
America, Of which he is director.
Don, who for some years has been
one Of the most active Of the busy
group of local soaring and gliding
pilots, is largely responsible for the
development Of the Big Meadows
soaring camp.
With Comdr. Ralph s. Barnaby,
q. s. NJ, first licensed glider pilot
in the United States and now in
charge of the glider primary training
school at Pensacola, Fla, the Nays
aviation training base, Hamilton dis
covered" Big Meadows several years
ago.
Barnaby was instrumental in hav-

the site made and he and Hamilton

cials in the possibilities of the site
as a national glider camp, similar to
the world-famous German camp in
the Wasserkuppe. The result has
been the official establishment Of this
country's first Federally owned soar
ing site-a camp which promises to
rank in time as one of the foremost
OF its kind in the world.
big Meadows is the only known
site az which it is generally conceded
that ID license can be earned in a

of the National Soaring organization
in announcing the meet which has
just begun. Remember, that means
five hours duration, 81 miles airline
distance and $3.50 feet above the
point Of take-off-what a site!"
The society pointed out that the
site, despite the ruggedness of the
Blue Ridge terrain, lis safe for the
novice and has plenty of thrills for
the veteran" There are paved roads
right to the field and highway for
tow launchings, so that no shock cord
work is required.

In recent weeks. exigencies OF
change-over and preparation for the
new season have reduced output Of
the industry to around $4,000 units
weekly, as compared to approximately
10000 per week when production was
going at full capacity through June
and July. Accelerated volume through
October, November and December will
offset the September gap Company
officials are unanimous in the belief
that demand for cars, restimulated by
new model introduction, will continue.
A bulletin went out from automo-
bile show headquarters last week to
the effect that, with the accident toll
/ increasing, it behooves all companies
that will exhibit in New York to do
their share in educating drivers and
pedestrians alike to be considerate OF
one another.
Every one has views as to the
cause of accidents" the bulletin says.
Some insist that they result from
high speed; others from any speed in
the wrong place. The liquor ques-
ton, incompetent drivers, poorly
equipped vehicles and other reasons
are advanced.

Legislation may help, but the i'm
portant thing is educating every one
IN the proper etiquette Of highway
travel, particularly when plotting a
car. Safety will be stressed at the
national show with the distribution Of
booklets. signs and motion pictures"
On the safety question, new data
have come to hand for study by
factory engineering departments. 1t
is report of a Massachusetts, high
way accident survey, conducted under
the direction of the Massachusetts,
Institute of Technology.
Study of all the fatal accidents in
Massachusetts, in 1888 indicated that
the frequency of fatalities with driv-
ers from 18 to % years of age is
about double the average, which is
about eight fatal accidents per 10000
drivers per year. From the age of
"a upward the rate gradually de-
u CdSCo 1IOlll dOOuJ Az W y az
cidents per 10000 drivers per year
The fatal accident rate for women
is about half that for men.
This may mean," the report says,
that women drive about half as
much mileage as men. or there may
be some other explanation not dis
closed by the figures"
The report points out that recent
automobile styles provide very small
windshields, which naturally restrict
the drivers view. If driver is of
average build. he can see only fairly
well. If drivers torso is longer
than average, he has to lean over
and peep out from under the top
edge. This induces neck and back
fatigue. If drivers torso is short
er than average, he must constantly
stretch himself to peep up over the
bottom edge.
THE sloping windshields give bet
ter upward vision, but before we can
consider that our traffic vision is salts
factory, we shall have to consider
sloping the engine hoods downward
toward the front of the car"

Hamilton has been informed that
there may be as many as 10 soaring
planes and gliders on hand during the
meet. The North Jersey Soaring As
sociation, new group at Big Meadows,
Is expected to send down four ships.
Richard G. Du Point, twice national
soaring champion. is expected to be
on hand for the full duration of the
meet. Jack OMeara, former national
champion and Gus Haller are among
the other famous soaring pilots who
expect to be present. The giant Gross
four-place soarer is expected from
Akron, Ohio.
j. r. Lassister, engineer in charge
for the National Park Service, has had
a wind vane installed on the soaring
site for the guidance of the pilots and
wind directions and velocities are
being recorded there three times a
day.
The temporary lean-to shelter for
gliders which was constructed last
year by Civilian Conservation Corps
workers has been made available again
for the present meet. Camp Fechner,
the C. C. C. camp on the edge of Big
Meadows, is turning over all its ia
cilities to the glider pilots. The camp,
under command of Capt. Charles S.
Robinson. U. S. A, with First Lieut..
Joseph w. Koch, U. S. A, second in
command. is expected to house from
rs to 80 visiting pilots and provision
will be made to feed few extra camp
ers. Camp sites will be available ad-
jacent to the c. c. C. camp for those
who bring along camping equipment.

elevation of $500 feet above sea level

For many years motorists took it

AT the fifth annual convention of

ing Of the main highways to widths
OF 100 to 400 feet. with a minimum
length of $500 feet, at intervals of
so miles, to provide closer tie-ups
between air and ground transporta-
ton for the pickup and delivery Of

'As the close coordination Of air,

facilities is most important" Col.
Hanks explained. lit is hoped that, by
bringing the common air carriers in
closer proximity to the State high
ways, one means of shortening the

He pointed out that the proposed
runWayS alongside the roads would
have no hangers, but would have
service stations similar to roadside
garages. Since airplane landings
would be parallel to automobile traffic.
there would be a minimum of inter-
ference between the Two, Col. Hanks
said.
