SAFETY FEATURES
ADD TO CAR COSTS
Devices to Cut Accident Toll
Require Fabulous Sums
of Industry.

Is the pronounced improvement IN
the automobile accident situation the
result of better driving or Of better
automobiles?
On the answer to this timely ques-
ton hinges the immediate future
course of the automobile industry. II
better automobiles are making motor
ing safer, then safety will continue
to be the outstanding feature OF cars
which now are in various stages OF
development. II the recent reduction
in accident and. fatalities is the result
of a new attitude on the part OF
drivers, combined with greater skill,
then the industry Is likely to concen-
trate on interesting buyers in learn
ing how to use present safety features
to better advantage.
Safety devices and features costs
the industry fabulous sums. The all
steel body Is a case in point. Some
manufacturers went to the wall be
cause of the great expense Of SWITCH
ing to the all-steel basis. Even the
quantity producers find that dies for
new body styles eat heavily into in
come. Presses for al-steel tops cost
the modern car maker more than all
OF the equipment needed to produce
some Of the older cars Of not SO long
ago.
Safeguards Furnished.
The public has no conception OF
the expense involved in adding such
seemingly minor safety features as
slanting the windshield to cut ref1ec-
tions, or grouping Of the instrument
board gauges for easy visibility.
Many students of safety believe that
the encouraging safety record OF this
year suggests the conclusion that be-
cause there is a greater number OF
more modern cars on the road there
is less chance of serious injury to
drivers and pedestrians. Such con-
clusion should encourage offering OF
still safer cars. If, concurrently, there
is increased driving intelligence the
Nation should be able to look to the
future hopefully. The matter prob
ably can be argued convincingly on
both sides, and one guess may be as
good as another, but 1t does not re-
quire much imagination to see that
the new cars are furnishing some re-
markable safeguards.
Better visibility Is helping drivers
obtain q better view of the jay-walker
More responsive brakes help the
driver avoid hitting the jay-walker
who Is not seen promptly. These
brakes are correctly and more per-
manently equan0ed, therefore assur-
ing the driver straight-line stop re.
gardless of traction conditions. The
new tires used on some cars actually
wipe dry path for the rear tires dur
ing an emergency stop, If the driver
steers In q straight line.
Hill Holder Held Aid.
The use Of a hill holder should be
an aid to those timid drivers who
constantly dread having to stop on an
upgrade. There have been several
attempts to popularize these devices
but now that they have become q
part Of the hydraulic braking system
it Is likely that they will become more
popular. The little reflex light 1ense
for the tail light has played silent
but interesting role in cutting down
rear-end collisions at night. Equally

Don't be satisfied with half way results just

Government. Although depreciation
charges might be made, an expected
increase in land values would at least
partially Offset these charges. The
object of this arrangement would be
Stabilization Of the assets value on
the Government books.
1t would mean complete financing
Of the project by the taxpayers, al
though, as resettlement points out,
this financing would have created an
asset for the Government-ands so for
the taxpayers. Again, the taxpayer
is faced with the problem: Am
willing to pay for such an asset?

rests with resettlement.)

verse are the Libra women, who
are careless about money matters,
and dislike the financial part of
any transaction. Libra people
have a keen sense of justice.
They are liberal to a fault, and
viii give away more than half
they possess and never expect any
return. The women are very SEN

averse to cruelty. Are neat.
When angry, which is seldom, they

WHEAT CLIMBS
FRACTI0NALLY

CHICAGO, Jan. 81 0.N.SD.
Grain futures we're steady in
early dealings today. Wheat ig.
nored the indifferent tone in out
side markets, but advanced only
fractionally on a light volume of
buying. The continued cold wave
tended to restrict selling. Buying
sentiment, however, was held
down by eaSineSs in Northwest
markets.
Near midSeSSion, wheat was 1sc
down to 1sc up, corn unchanged
to lsc up, oats 1sc down and rye
1sc down to 14c up.
May wheat here lowered around
$1.01A. 1sc above Saturdays
close. May corn also was 1sc up
at 607sc.
Wheat prices in Northwest mar
ketS were moderately lower. Liver
pool was 5s to "a pence up shortly
before the close.
