American automobile designers still hold Safety First" uppermost among the factors governing new car design, according to the num- Der of new safety improvements in- troduced for 1889.
 Among the newest models display ed at the auto show here, Plymouth progressively carries on its pioneer work to make the modern car safer for the driver and all passengers with new design features aimed at reducing the possibility of accident
 Different Color Lights
 High on the list of such improve ments for 1889 is Plymouth's new ''safety-Signal" speedometer, with automatic traffic lights that flash different colors for various car speeds.
 Applauded by traffic experts at this years National Safety Congress when they were first informed of the new device, Plymouth's new Speedometer acts as a silent police man" right in front of the driver whenever he goes outside the saf-

uniform and fair, now has the &C., tive support of the public and in- creased patrol of the highways is carried out with the cooperation ot a majority of motorists.
 This it can be shown that Connecticut, state that finds every day increased conservation of human life and property de- spite the hazards of fire, flood and pestilence is beginning to pro- vide greater safety and efficiency in modern highway transport. Honor List of Towns
 It becomes apparent that the activities for highway safety are worth while when it can be shown that in spite of the many prob lens which remain and the great density of traffic in this state, there are 81 Connecticut towns free of fatal motor accidents dur ing the first 41 weeks of 1888. This list includes four cities, An sonia, Derby, New London and Winsted.
 Thirty-nine of the towns on this honor roll were free from motor vehicle fatalities in 1887 also, and 28 have been without traffic fa- talities for periods varying from ? to 15 years. Two towns, Ashford and Sherman, according to avail able records, have been at least IS years and possibly longer, without 8 fatal motor vehicle accident.
 The most recent traffic fatality in Ansonia occurred on June 24, 1887; in New London on Nov. 20, 1887; in Winsted on Dec, 12. 1887 and in Derby on Dec. "A, 1887.
 The records of these towns and cities is especially praiseworthy when some of the problems they are required to meet are consid- cred. For example the Boston Post Road (U. s. Route D and one of the main routes north from this inter state artery to northern and eastern Connecti- cut cities and towns, pass through neighbor cities of 10000 and 20,- 900 population. Derby and Ansonia, neighbor cities of 10000 and 20,- co population, respectively, are located on main highways north from the Bridgeport and New Haven municipal areas. The main cross-state route through north western Connecticut to Albany, and Pittsfield. passes through Winsted, a city of 5000 population.

 tv Commission

Executive Secretary, Highway Safe
 ty Commission
 Highway transportation is meas urably safer in Connecticut this year than it has been for several years past. Fewer states of the country are currently obtaining more satisfactory results in traf- fic accident fatality reduction.
 Connecticut was in sixth place at the end of eight months this year on the basis of the number of traffic deaths per 100000 miles of motor vehicle travel, and was in fourteenth place in 1886 and ninth in 1887. On the basis of the number of traffic deaths per 100000 of population Con- necticut ranks tenth in 1888, and was in eighteenth place in both 1887 and 1886.
 The better coordination in re- cent years of the effort for traf- fic safety, coupled with much progress on national aspects of the problem, is paying noticeable dividends. At the present time a Connecticut operator may drive a motor vehicle half as far again in this state as he could in 1885 with somewhat less chance of death to himself or another per- son twice as far as in 1881 and three times as far as in 1925.
 Fewer Fatalities
 The present year gives promise of a smaller number of fatalities on Connecticut streets and high ways than in any year of the last IS. In 1885, 485 persons died in Connecticut highway traffic &C., cidents; in 1886, 439 persons were killed and last year the number was 427. If the toll during the last two months of this year is no worse than it was last year and thus far this year the record has been better-there is a good chance that fewer persons will die in traffic accidents in 1888 than in any year since 1926, when the total of deaths was 332.
 There are other factors that must be considered in reading the barometer of progress as rep resented by accident statistics. One is the number of miles of motor vehicle travel. Each year more cars are being driven more miles over an increased number of miles of better highways. It is expected that the mileage record ed in 1888 will be at least three times that of 1926. On the mile age basis the Connecticut accident rate is below previous years and, of course, far better than it was in 1926.
 Safety engineering, too, is bet ter today. Cars are safer and there are fewer hazards on the highways. Safety education is more general. More children in more schools are being trained to meet the conditions of modern traffic as pedestrians and as operators. A greater number of adults are being reached with safety messages.

est speed range.
 A colored light moves around the dial with the speed indicator, and shines green up to 30 miles per hour. From 30 to 50, the light changes to amber-like the caution light on a traffic signal-and above 50 changes again to warning red.
 Thus the same colors driver is used to obeying in traff1c lights now automatically flash inside the car whenever he drives outside the safest speed range.
 For extra safety, all instruments and operating controls in the 1889 Plymouth are centered directly in front of the driver, so he need never turn his gaze from directly ahead. Also, the new Vee-type windshield retains the extra height and width introduced last year for "wide-an- gle" front vision, affording clear, full view of traffic conditions ahead.
 In deluxe models, Plymouth's new remote control gear shift is up on the steering post, right under the drivers hand. This opens up the front compartment so three can ride in perfect safety. And this years pistol grip" mandrake never is moved over left of the wheel, where it can be reached by the driver without interference from the knees of other front seat passengers.
 Brake Pedal Better
 Also important in Plymouth's s safety story, this years brake pedal works 10 per cent easier through im- proved connections and a new brake lining material, while clutch pedal pressure has been reduced 30 per cent by other changes in design.
 Steering and handling, too, give a definite feeling of more positive control and greater stability = re- sulting from the new Plymouth in- dependent front wheel springing and important improvements in the steering hookup. Easier steering also results from the new ratio of 18.2 to 1, as an added factor for safety when parking the car in city

PART OF BUDGET | GOES TO PAPERS
ChrysIer Plans Most Ex- tensive Advertising A Carrl-
 paign in History
BY ARTHUR E. TONGUE, Director of Advertising and Sales Promotion, Chrysler Division, lslan..n..ln.n. Aa......a..... Aa... J.

Director of Advertising and Sales
 Promotion, Chrysler Division,
 ChrysIer Corporation Stressing the note, "Be Modern, Buy Chrysler," the Chrysler Division of the Chrysler Corporation will back its 1889 line with one of the most extensive advertising and sales pro- motion campaigns 1t ever has au- thorized. Every accepted medium of advertising is included in our pro- gram and we believe that the pub- lie will be distinctly "Chrysler con- scious" during the coming model year.
 As has generally been the case, newspaper advertising will be the largest single item in our budget, running well over 70 percent of the total appropriation. Our plans call for the printing of Chrysler adver- tisements in newspapers totaling 8, ,661, ,0O0 circulation per issue which means that our dealers will have the benefit of a tremendous point of sale punch. We have found that nothing else supplies the inlned- fate buying urge as well as news paper copy.
 Second to newspapers will come magazines, in which field we will have a total circulation of il, 1,600, ,000 copies per issue. This multiplied by the four readers that generally are figured to each magazine means that we will present our story to some 46,400, ,O00 persons per issue. In making up our magazine list we have selected mediums that we be- ieve will reach the maximum audi ence with minimum duplication. Radio, headed by the famous Major Bowes amateur hour, will have a prominent place in our pro- gram. In Pittsburgh and Chicago we are using the Show of the Week." a chain offering featured leading artists. We are braodcasting college and professional football games extensively.
 Our outdoor schedule includes a circulation that we estimate will catch the eye of 85 percent of the people of the United States.
 Because of the very large number of new features incorporated in the 1889 Chryslers, we are using new type of copy treatment. Striking illustrations with brief but specific descriptions of the new features in- dependently will prevail, instead of broad generalized text.

OIL PLAYS ROLE
 IN CAR MAKEUP


 Engineers point out that, where as pistons and rings are essential in maintaining compression and in preventing the scape of gases into the crankcase, oil itself plays a silent but important role in the process. Without the oil film along the wall there would be an easy path for gases to get by the rings, and the oil in the crankcase would be quickly contaminated. It is be- cause oil must play this particular role that engineers have such diffl- culty maintaining proper oil con- trol. The oil must get up around the rings, yet must not burn by be- ing trapped in the cylinders.

TIRE MILEAGE

Motorists who boast of excessive ly high tire mileage are exposing themselves to the possible criticism of stretching safety too far. Records of taxi companies and of the test fleet of one of the leading rubber companies show that the average mileage with a modern tire is 25,- 500. But this contemplates wearing the tire through to the breaker strip.

Carelessness Blamed
 By Fire Authorities
 For Numerous Fires
zS Calls for Services of Fire Companies Reported Here Yesterday-Fre Marshall Again Ap=
 peals to Public for Cooperation

The record-breaking number of fires this month, principally of the brushvariety, can be credited to sev- eral causes, according to Fire Mar shal Den Lahey. The extreme dry ness of the ground, carelessness in the handling of bonfires, high winds and chief-making on the part of boys are all contributory causes, he said.
 March has been the busiest month in the history of the fire depart ment. Statistics compiled by Lieut.. Michael Flaherty, aide to the chief. show that, inclusive of yesterday there have been 241 alarms. This leaves alarms received today and to- morrow to be added before the total is completed.
 28 Alarms
 Yesterday, a typical day for the month, found firemen answering 28 alarms. All but two were for brush and grass fires. Some of the blazes were confined to small areas, but others spread over large territories and at times threatened dw ellings.

ing in at every hour of the day and night during the month, and fire men have been run ragged answer ing the calls and quelling the blazes. The fires have been in every section of the city, but the outskirts, as usual, have been the scenes of the majority of brush and grass fires during the month.
 High winds which have prevailed much of the month have made many of the brush fires menacing, since it has caused them to spread very rapidly. Bremen have had to battle strongly to prevent some of the fires from spreading to homes The month has been dryer than usual and the woods and grasslands about the city are very dry, needing only a spark to set them afire.
 Urges Care
 The fire marshal urges extreme care on the part of all if the num- Der of brush fires is to be reduced and if property is to be protected He also urges that motorists be cer- tain that cigarets or cigars in their possession are completely extin- guished before being discarded.
