NEWS OF THE MOTORING WORLD
The Traffic Horizon of 1889 Offers Many Promises for Safer
Driving Conditions in the National Capital

The proposed control act by the
American Automobile Association
and the Automobile Club of Mary
land should be furthered. Com
mittees have been appointed to get
the necessary legislation at the
meeting of the Maryland Legislature
in January. 1t is to be hoped that
this is accomplished.
The control act is not drastic,
does not unfairly injure business
now going on and provides primarily
for the future. Safer riding and
more pleasant sights will be the
result of this proposal.
Parking problems continue to cor
front everyone. In this matter one
must plan cautiously and slowly
The parking meters we're frowned
on at the outset, but now are meet
ing favor everywhere. AS a matter
Of fact, the public is beginning
to like them and businessmen are
asking for more.
The meters do break up long con-
tinued parking and give many more
| people a chance to park their cars
and attend to their shopping. Own
ers of the cars on the downtown
streets heretofore were not as a
rule buyers. Now they are.
New apartments and new build
ings should provide parking places.
A law may be proposed to make this
obligatory. Cars do not belong on
the streets for a long period of
time immovable, but spaces off the
Streets must be provided. =
Parking spaces on the streets now
are gradually being eliminated. The
elimination wisely is slow, but one
can now foresee the ultimate re-
suit. Modern traffic does not call
for garaging on the public streets,
so other places must be found.
The above seems like a large
order. 1t is. But traffic demands
of today are complicated and must
be met with. One may wish differ
emily, but the fact remains. Every
one must give up something. Traffic
must move and lives must be saved
1t is that which is all-important.
Well, here is new development
in the oil industry. The National
Petroleum Institute is responsible
for this one.
A new flower scented substance
developed from petroleum has been
found to possess fascinating effect
upon insects, and considerable guam
titles of it are being used to flavor
the poison bait in Western States
used to combat the hordes of grass
hoppers that periodically invade
that area.
Like the mythical strains of sweet
music that lured men in a dance
of death, the new essence derived
from petroleum attracts the insects
and makes the poison bait highly
palatable. The grasshoppers eat
with gusto. and soon they have
dropped out of the invading hordes
that cause millions of dollars of
loss to growing crops. The odor is
also attractive to other insect pests
in their search for food. A few
drops will make pounds of poison
bait taste like beefsteak dinner
to thousands of insects.

Automotive Briefs

By FREDERICK c. RUSSELL.
Cars reverse common experience
by being less lazy the more nearly
they become shiftless.
When your Service man starts to
replace the spark plugs of your
cars engine. or removes the old
plugs for cleaning, be sure that
he uses an air hose to blow out
any dirt or foreign particles which
so often accumulate in the recesses
around the plugs. This should be
done before the plug openings are
uncovered otherwise there is a good
chance that something will drop
| into one of the cylinders.
Modern design calls for extremely
close limits between the pistons and
the cylinder head. Clearance is not
more than the thickness of the
cylinder head gasket. Gas is al
lowed to swirl over around the
valves and the spark plugs. this
action resulting in better combus-
ton. But with so little actual
clearance above the pistons any
thing that falls into a cylinder is
apt to cause bad knock. Part
OF a broken spark plug washer is
sufficient to do this.

Christmas Day finds Santa Claus
still waiting with the National Cap
ital's traffic gifts. He has brought
his promises, but many Of them will
not be delivered until after the new
year. A definite reduction in trafiic
fatalities and accidents, however, has
been brought, and after all, that Is
the principal thing. Somewhere in
the neighborhood of Is lives have
been spared this year against 1887
and that is really something to be
joyous about.
Other matters on the traffic hori-
zon include pedestrian control, COM
pulsory inspection of motor vehicles,
underpasses to relieve congestion,
raised speed limit, Identification Of
the Baltimore-Washington boule-
ward and improved parking condi-
tions.
The list is large and varied. But
the fulfillment of all its purposes is
to make driving and walking condi-
tions in and around Washington bet
ter and safer.
Pedestrian control is not planned
to deprive any one Of certain
inalienable rights. It is designed to
protect all users of the public
thoroughfares. At some time it may
mean little bit longer in arriving at
ones objective. but it means arriv-
ing there in safety. Nearly all walk
ers are riders at times and likewise
nearly all riders are at times walkers
There are no two classes. We may
dislike being regulated, but we must
admit regulation in the interests of
safety is a necessity. However, If
pedestrians are to be regulated it
must be assured that they are given
real opportunity and a safe one to
cross the streets at intersections
That is only fair. An interlude must
be given while cars are not making
right and left turns into the inter-
sections when the time comes for
the walkers to cross. This is the
case at present and it must be
changed. 1t is not right to say that
the pedestrians can only cross on
the green light and then throw a
lot of turning cars across their path
way Then, when this condition is
made right, the majority of the
walkers will be glad to cross at the
right time knowing that they are
safe. 1t also must be remembered
that the old regulation at uncon-
trolled intersections. which gives the
pedestrian the right of way, will
still hold good.
All the talk and education in the
world will not bring forth safe cross
ings of the street until the regulation
is passed and enforced. While nc
penalty exists for haphazard cross
ing. careless crossing will continue
1t is to be hoped that the Commits
sioners will at least try this expert
ment, new to Washington, but ir
force elsewhere.
Compulsory inspection of motor
vehicles is now a regulation and
will become effective this coming
year. Everyone should want their
Evening star., 1938-12-25

car in proper mechanical condition,
but here again only regulation
will make it so. Car owners, like
anybody else, are won't to put things
of. Economically it pays to keep
car in good condition. While
1t is true a car which is passed 100
per cent may be in poor shape a
short time later. the psychology of
inspections is likely to have the
owners watch for troubles and have
them quickly corrected whether in
time for the annual inspections or
at other times.
Perhaps only small percentage
of machines are not in good con-
dition. This may prove so. But
the correction of the others is just
another safety aid. Safety depends
not upon one thing but upon many.
Underpasses are being planned.
Two are being considered for COM
pletion in the near future. One is
at Thomas Circle and the other at
K street and Waterside drive. OPP
position has diminished. These
underpasses can be made without
destroying the beauty of the loca-
ton, and their usefulness no one
can deny.
The city is growing. New needs
appear. Congestion must be elimi-
mated as far as possible. Congestion
is not only unpleasant. but it is
dangerous. Some persons fear a
loss of real estate value. Experience
outside of Washington proves other
wise. A few revolt against the loss
of a few trees. This is to be re-
gretted. but new trees can be
planted. Traffic must be allowed
to move.
Twenty-Five miles an hour is not
an excessive speed limit. 1t is in
uniformity with other large cities
The Commissioners are planning
this limit as against the old % miles
an hour, in existence since 1925
1t will not mean higher speed
for the city. Police now only make
arrest for over Is miles per hour
Therefore the actual rate of speed
throughout the city will remain
the same. The 30-mile zones will
remain unaffected.
Speed itself is not to blame for ac-
cidents in themselves. Many drivers
are driving recklessly at lesser rates
For them the law against reckless
driving still holds. One, regardless
of his speed, must have his car under
such control as to be able to avoid
accidents at all times.
The 25-mile limit should be made
a law.
The Baltimore Washington boule-
ward Identification plan may not
seem so important at the present
time, but it Is a needed improve
ment. 1t so happens that esthetics
and safety 60 hand in hand, and
more residents of the District OF
Columbia use that highway more
than any other. Safety cannot
exist with billboards too near the
roadway. often hiding the view al
curves. Not only ugly, they distract
the driver
