MOTORISTS MUST
HAVE ACCURATE
SPEEDOMETERS
Check-Up Reveals A Double
Crossing Tendency On Part
Of Speed Indicators
"How's your speedometer ?"

"How's your speedometer ?"
The query has important meaning
lust now, the keystone Automobile
Club points out, because of the ma
tional requirement of a 35-mile speed
limit. Lazy" speedometers may get
their owners into serious trouble, the
Club warns.
Club officials say that in many
speed arrests coming to their atten-
ton, speedometer check-up has re-
vealed embarrassing tendency on
the part of the speed indicator.
"At speeds of to Is miles per
hour" the Club statement declared,
"speedometer accuracy in these cases
attained perfection. There was a
tendency to laziness between 25 and
35. If these cases coming under our
observation represent a cross section
of conditions-and we believe they do
it obviously is to the interest OF
motorists to know just how far they
can trust their speedOmeters. 1t is
little consolation to a driver to know
he was trying to obey the law if an
accurate speedometer lures him to il
legal speed, with all the dire penal
ties now threatened.
an view of the drastic enforcement
campaign now under way, it is inn
portant for every driver to be eX-
tremely cautious and not put toe
much faith in the accuracy of an I'M
tested speedometer."

Valued At 10 Gallons
Continued from Page ID


each coupon is for the first heating
period only. The severity of weather
and other factors will determine the
number of gallons allowed for each
coupon during the remaining periods
of the year. And, of course, the sup
ply available will be the principal de-
termining factor in the total amount
which will be allowed each house
holder.
1t is understood that application
forms are now being distributed to
local rationing boards and the gen
eral practice to be followed is for the
dealer to obtain the applications from
the local boards and pass them on to
their customers after the amount of
oil used last year is determined. The
form is to be filled out and then mail
ed to the local rationing board, where
the amount to be allowed for the COM
ing year will be determined.
In cases where the dealer does not
supply the customer with an applica-
ton, the customer may obtain one di-
rectly from the local rationing board.
After the rationing boards have de-
termined the amount of oil to be al
lowed each applicant, an announce
ment will be made as to when the
rationing coupons may be obtained.
