George Rizk-Joan Rita Byron Registers 1000 Point Gain Over Yesterday

It may be hot in terms of tenn perature but it's hotter than that in the fight for the lead in the Most Popular Baby Contest of the Demo- crat.
 Stepping right along, the little girl from School street, Ruth Ann scannell, gained enough hundreds of votes yesterday to draw almost longside George Rizk of North Main street, the leader for thelast few days.
 Ruth Ann now counts 20,4l0 votes and George has 20,490, only 30 votes ahead, Tn fact, you might say that the leaders are tied.

PERIL OF BLOWOUT
MAY BE MINIMIZED
Motorists Warned Not to Apply
Brakes or Release Clutch
After Tire Goes.

Here's how to avoid serious coise-
quences from tire blow-outs, according
to the Keystone Automobile Club.
Don't slam on the brakes.
Don't release the clutch.
'"The natural tendency of the driver
when blowout occurs is to press
hard on the brakes" say Keystone
safety bulletin. Driving experts agree
this is the wrong thing to do. Instead
the driver should concentrate his
attention on keeping the car on the
road and allowing the accelerated
motor to act as brake in slowing
down the vehicle.
"Quick application of the brakes
may result in the car overturning.
Releasing the clutch may throw the
car into a skid. The big job Of the
driver when a blowout occurs is to
steer. If he can keep the car on the
road and prevent skidding he will
avoid the horrors which often are the
accompaniment to blowout accidents" :"
1t is further stated, for the benefit
Of drivers who never had experience
with blow-outs, that car always
swerves in the direction of the blow
out; that is if left tire is affected.
the swerve will be to the left. and vice
versa. Another good thing for drivers
to remember is to steer in the direction

per cent decrease in weight. Other
chassis features include the Stude-
baker Planar front-wheel suspension,
the new dual steering arm controls
and the hill holder, which is standard
on the President and Commander,
optional on the six.
The new vacuum transmission con-
troll greatly simplifies the business Of
shifting gears, the short shift lever
now being located on an extension
from the instrument panel. Power for
shifting is derived from the exhaust
vacuum booster being used.
The driver merely moves the minia-
ture shift lever into the desired COM
binations while the booster does the
actual work.
Show visitors will note chiefly the
fact that the entirely new all-steel
bodies are 6 inches wider at the point
of maximum width than their prede-
cessors. Fender we'll headlight lenses
match the design of the radiator grille,

WILLYS

That Willys has staged successful
comeback, placing itself in an en-
tirely new price bracket for American
consumption, is demonstrated by the
fact that for 1888 the line has been
increased not only by three passenger
cars but series of trucks. The new

dan. All bodies continue the typical
WHY'S fullness of contour, affording
wider seating space. The overall
length of the car is 178 inches.
Up to 35 miles to the gallon of gaso-
line is again offered as an attraction
of the 1888 WHY'S This is partly due
to the use of the Tillotson down-draft
carburetor. 1t is interesting to note
that in spite of the light weight of
the WHY'S, which helps TO account for
its exceptional economy, there is a 80
per cent greater strength factor for
axles. frames, steering gear and other
major parts than is usually consid-
cred adequate for a car in its weight
classification. These cars are offered
with tire size of 16x5.50, again offering
generous oversize.
The ultra modern bodies on the
WHY'S chassis are said to be fortress
of safety. They are all steel Body
panels are welded together to provide
greater strength. All models are
equipped with double-action, airplane-
type shock absorbers. Careful ball
ance and a low center of gravity
gives the cars better roadability. An
interior note of interest is the use Of
upholstery panels set into metal
frame, thus preventing dirt and scuff-

The first two Of the above special

tive place in the program herein
submitted within the limits Of funds
considered available. All are under
intensive study by engineers of the
street and bridge divisions and it Is
expected preliminary plans and esti-
mates will be available for submis-
sion to Congress this winter. Studies
and plans have progressed sufficiently
far, however, to warrant the inclusion
in the 1889 estimates Of an item au-
thorizing the changes at the three cir
cles.
Work in connection with the three
circles was selected ahead Of the

reasons: % That plans, etc, had
progressed sufficiently to draw def
mite conclusion warranting the con-
struction proposed. In the case OF
the Georgetown express bypass def
mite conclusions and estimates Of cost
have not been completed. (2) The
funds available for major construc-
ton items will not permit carrying
on the construction of the Pennsyl-
vania Avenue Bridge and the George
town express bypass at the same
time, throughout three-year period.
The combined projects are of such
magnitude that an allotment of ap-
proximately S1,000,000 for each year
would be necessary.
The preliminary plans for the three
circles contemplated at Dupont Cir
Gle, an under-pass for street cars or

surface rearrangement to facilitate
the movement of surface traffic. At
Thomas Circle similar changes are
proposed. At Scott Circle, surface re-

ment of entering roadway, ETC., are
planned. The total estimated cost of
the three projects is 100000. not in

GET REGULAR SERVICES

Good service suggests the virtue in
regularity. Many accidents are di-
rect result of getting off ones sched-
ule. Not many drivers realize that
their success in avoiding trouble is
largely due to keeping within the con-
fines of their more familiar driving
experiences. Note how they promptly

There are four body models in each

Studebaker engineers were not sat-

signed. They are bigger and roomier.
They are safer automobiles.
But what of the highways over
which these 1898 streamlined models
are expected to travel in safety at the
prevailing rate of speed? Are they
big and roomy; are they safe? They
are not! The majority of the roads
In use today were built a quarter of
q century ago when the automobile
was still being called the "horseless
carriage" These roads are veritable
death traps. They have not had
safety engineered into them as it has
been constructed into the new model
automobiles. They are already over
loaded with the 28,O0000O motor We
hicles that are presently travelling the
roads of the Nation. Every mile of
these antiquated highways you drive
is packed with such hazards to your
life as limited visibility, curves that
are too sharp hills that are too steep,
hollows that are too deep, too many
grade crossings, slippery surfaces and,
worst of ALL roads that are too mar
row to accommodate todays trebled
traffic.
The automobile industry is pushing
for its biggest production year. with
the possible exception of 1929. Indus
try experts predict the output of
100000 motor vehicle units by the
end of 1887. These same experts 90
further by saying that the present
year can easily become the best year
since the beginning of the mass pro-
duction of motor cars.
But where are we going to put
them? We have had no mass pro-
duction of roads Our highway con-
struction has not kept pace with the
building of motor cars. With few
exceptions the Nations roads have
not been built to safely carry today'1
greatly increased and speeded-up traf-
fc. Imagine the hazards of tomor-
rows highways when the majority OF
the cars produced in 1887 are added
to those already on the road. if imme-
diate steps are not taken to modernize
our antiquated highways.
The safety features of the new au-
tomobiles cannot do the job alone, nor
can safe driving, nor the combina-
ton Of both, without the benefit of
q safe highway over which to drive.
The safety education groups have
done their part; the automotive in
dustry has done its part, as exempli-
fed by the added safety features of
the twenty-five 1888 models at the
eighteenth annual automobile show
here, but the building of safe high
