WHOLESALE INDEX
HOLDS UNCHANGED
Fertilizer Association Finds
Average at 1877 Per
Cent Again.

There was but little change in the
general level of wholesale commodity
prices in the week ended September
S, according to the index compiled oy
the National Fertilizer Association.
This index last week was 1877 per cent
Of the 1926-1928 average, the same as
in the preceding week; month ago
the index stood at 1913 and q year ago
at TIT.
Price changes were mixed during the
week. with advances offsetting de-
clines. -Four of the component group
indexes advanced while three moved
downward. but the fluctuations in all
cases were relatively small.
Due largely to higher meat prices,
there was a moderate increase in the
food index, which had declined in the
two preceding weeks; of the As COM
modities included in this group II ad-
vanced last week and II declined.
The effect of a downward movement
in grain prices was more than suf-
flcient to Offset higher quotations for
live stock and cotton, with the result
that small decline was registered py
the index of farm-product prices.
The livestock index was at the
highest level reached since last April
A slight drop in the textile index was
brought about by lower prices for cot
ton goods, burlap and raw silk, which
more than offset rising prices for cot
ton and wool.
A slight rise in the metal price index
took it to the highest point reached in
the entire recovery period, rejecting
the sustained upturn in industrial ac-
tivity.

TIGHTER INSPECTION
REGULATION PLANNED
State Authorities Fear Practice
Will Fall Into Disrepute Be-
cause of Loopholes.

Fearful that the growing trend to-
ward official inspection Of motor
vehicles will suddenly fan into dis
repute because Of evils and loopholes
in the system, motor vehicle authori-
ties in States conducting tests are
striving to tighten up the system of
checking car faults. Hampered con-
stantly by lack of cooperation on the
part Of the motoring public, these va
rious systems Of inspection may at
any time come in for unfair criticism
sufficient to further weaken their none
too certain influence in checking acci-
dents and fatalities.
Complicating the situation in some
sections are the various rackets which
continually threaten to make the in
spections less effective. The prac-
tice Of renting tires to owners so that
they can pass the inspection require
ments with regard to tire security is
rather common. Tricks are being re-
sorted to in an effort to make brakes
test tolerably well on brake machines.
Some motorists add or remove certain
pieces Of equipment before the test,
changing over to normal after pass
ing. Many cars are not tested at all
in States where it is illegal to dodge
such inspection.

cost of S454 ,000, 900, of which the cost
to the Federal Government was $780,

completed were built at total cost
of $3.50, 1000, ,000, including $24l ,000, 600
in Federal funds.
During the fiscal year, 300 railroad
grade crossings were eliminated, 10
elimination structures were recon-
structed and protective devices were
installed at 1875 crossings. At the end
of the year l,240 eliminations were
under contract-most Of them under
construction-and 1853 elimination
structures were under contract for re-
construction.
The combined highway and grade
crossing work furnished direct en-
ployment of 1.673,935 months to
an average of 139,500 men. The in
direct employment in production and
transportation of materials brought
the average full-time employment to
$4,000 men. Assuming that each
worker supports two other persons,
highway work administered by the
bureau supported more than 1,000,-

80 D. c. CAR OWNERS
LOSE CAR KEYS DAILY
10000 Call for Aid of Locksmith
Each Year, Keystone Club
Reveals

Every day in the District of Column
bia 80 Washington motorists mis-
place the keys to their cars and have
to seek the help of a locksmith to get
going again, according to the emer-
gency aid department of the Keystone
Automobile Club.
Unless there IS a sudden memory
improvement and local car owners be-
come less abSent-minded, 10000 Of
their number will call for assistance
to get back in their automobiles this
year, club officials declare.
Odd as it seems, this queer fact was
turned up by keystone statisticians In
tabulating the various reasons why car
owners send in emergency aid calls
to their automobile club.
While there are a number of motor
lists who lock their cars and for one
reason or another cannot make the
key work when they return. an average
of 80 every day either lose or misplace
their keys or park and get out and
absent-mindedly lock the doors with
the key inside the car.

COST OF MOTORING
SAFETY INDICATOR
More Expensive Driving
Usually Also Found More
Hazardous.

II 1t isn't economical it isn't safe.
Such is the new rule Of the road
for motorists who seek sanity in their
automobiling.
Complicated as it may seem in this
age of traffic complexity, this new rule
of thumb simplifies safety to a de-
gree where even the most ineXperi-
enced are able to chart safer course.
The trick is merely to find out at just
what speeds and with what special
handling the car is most economical.
These automatically are the condi-
tions under which the car is following
the safest course.
Gasoline consumption, for example,
increases in IL popular makes of cars
as soon as the car is running over
20 miles per hour. All II cars tested
with 20. Between 40 and IS this in
crease becomes noticeable to the point
where the driver finds himself stop
ping off more often for gas. That is
the point beyond which safety be-
comes much less certain.
Oil economy starts to take nose
dive around so miles per hour. Tests
based upon 100000 individual calcula-
tions showed that the average car uses
So as much oil at SIS miles per hour
as it does at 80. Another series of
tests revealed the fact that every in
crease in speed of 10 miles per hour
above a speed of so doubles oil con-
sumption. Clearly, keeping within the
economy limit saves overstepping the
bounds of safety.
More attention to better driving
than to speed per Sc, however, is ad-
vanced as a further thought to con-
slider when trying to apply the safety
economy rule to motoring. Tires are
a handy guide in this connection.
Roughly speaking, people who obtain
full mileage out of each set Of tires
can be relied upon to give greater
consideration to theirs and other peo-
pies safety. 1t is not possible to get
your moneys worth from tires and at
the same time violate the simple yet
fundamental rules of safety awheel.
Tires will not give their full mileage
IL UllC Odl 10 pdhCAl A44bO Ju4 lio dI WV
high speed. They will give abbre-
waited mileage if braking is excessive,
or if acceleration is beyond all needs.
Usually if tires are wearing unevenly
because brakes are out of equalization
a history of the car will reveal the
fact that the condition at the brakes
is largely due to their misuse during
the early life of the car. The habit
of accelerating beyond the economy
limit of the cars tires usually is born
of failure to judge traffic conditions
accurately. Following a mistake the
driver finds it necessary to give the
car all 1t has in order to avoid an
accident.
There are some connoisseurs of
safety who confidently believe that
in the not too distant future a drivers
degree of safety consciousness will be
judged on basis of his record of
economy in car operation.

SHOCK ABSORBERS ACT
IN WHEEL ALIGNMENT
Are Controls as Well as Devices
to Add to Riding Com
fort.

That front-wheel alignment is ad-
versely affected by neglected shock
absorbers Is Just one Of the newer
points for the car owner to bear in
mind. If he assumes that the
Shocks" serve merely to insure riding
comfort he is very much mistaken. I
have often pointed out that they con-
troll spring action. Now want to add
the fact that they exert a certain
amount Of control over front-end
alignment.
This is particularly noticeable with
front ends using coil springs. espec-
tally II the springs are soft and the
engine Is heavy. Should the shock
absorbers fail to control spring action
normally then alignment temporarily
departs from normal whenever the
front Of the car starts bobbing up and
down. Proof of this is seen in some
Of the more recent peculiarities in tire
wear.

CAUTION ADVISED
Motorists Urged to Give Wide
Berth to trucks.

Because they are required to stop
before crossing railroad tracks. gaso-
line trucks, busses, taxicabs and ve-
hicles carrying explosives should be
kept at a greater distance than Is
necessary with passenger cars. Not
only is there greater chance Of dam
aging your car seriously when such
vehicles make a quick stop ahead
but In some States you are also sub
Ject to a fine for following another
vehicle too closely.
