Autornotive Hints
By FREDERICK C. RUSSELL.


When a motorist won't change to
new tires it's usually because he
hasn't got the jack.
Tests show that two out Of every
three cars on the road have some
defects in the exhaust system. 1t
may be a gasket leak where the ex-
haust manifold bolts to the engine,
or hole in the muffler. Frequently
the muffler is found to be loose or
the tail pipe is pulled away from it
little. Corrosion Of the tail pipe is
most common. This is not neces-
sarily troublesome unless the pipe
fails to carry exhaust fumes well
back from the floorboards. Muf1er
leakage that is between the body
and the exhaust system Is danger
Gus, especially If there is a collec-
ton of grease under the car. An
explosion of unburned gas vapor in
the muffler might cause a fire.
In spite of the better construction
of the new cars there is ample op-
portunity for exhaust vapors, not
properly kept to their course, to
escape into the car. With the trend
toward closing the windows and de-
pending upon air-conditioning sys-
TENS to keep the interior healthy
in cold weather it is particularly i'm
portant to check over the exhaust
system at this saeson. Leaks are
easily detected by running some
kerosene through the engine when
the car is out in the open. Smoke
emits at any unions that are not
tight.

the pedestrian problem made by the

will offer the basis for constructive
advances in protecting pedestrians.
The national contest is expected to
stimulate new thought by those

the safety of those who walk in the

The A. A. A. city awards, to be

Of outstanding persons versed in the

points in the contest will be credited
to cities which show low pedestrian
fatality rates. reduction in rate and
a low ratio Of pedestrian deaths to
total traffic fatalities. Considera-

ment of facts regarding pedestrian
conditions and needs, and general
excellence in the execution Of pedes-

which have new basis of approach
to the problem.
With reference to the A. A. A.

that four fundamental things stand
out, as follows:
"The pedestrian is the most i'm

of cities and pedestrians constitute
the major traff1c fatality toll in
cities from two-thirds up).
Most cities do not know much
about their very serious pedestrian

improve pedestrian traffic conditions
There is a very serious lack of
understanding or acceptance Of mu-

between drivers and pedestrians"
