SEVENTEEN MILLION IN WORLD USE Seventeen million autamobiles — Passenger cars and trucks—will be in operation in the world by the end of this year, according to a preliminary estimate made by M H. Hoepli, acting chief of the auto- motive division, United States De- partment of Commerce. The approximate number of-cars and truck in operation at the close of the calendar year 1922, was 14,- 500,000; the total world - production this year is estimated at close to 4,500,000. From the total thus reach- ed. 19,000,000 vehicles, are deducted some 2,000,000 cars, which are worn out and ready to be discarded or junked. ‘The tremendous total of 17,000,000 passenger cars and trucks in operation in the entire world rep- resent an increase ‘of about 17 per cent over the number in use a year ago. About 14,000,000, or over four fifths of the total are in use in this country, which lists approximately one car or truck to every eight per fons. In the world the proportion i# one car or truck to 112 persons. ———$____ FORD TO DOUBLE SIZE NEW ORLEANS PLANT NEW ORLEANS, March 22.—The Ford company, which established an assembly plant here a year ago and turned out 44,000 cars in the last year, has bought land for the pur- pose of doubling capacity of the branch. ———— Five large main bearings are used in the manufacture of every Lin- coln engine, in place of the conyen- ‘tional three found on most V type eight cylinder engines. 500 E. Yellowstone | WE WILL NOT EXHIBIT AT THE AUTO SHOW BUT We Are a Member of the CASPER AUTOMOTIVE DEALERS’ ASSOCIATION And Wish the Third Annual AUTOMOBII All Success The Wyoming Automotive Co, MM a 177 oe a Doud Motor company. (From the Motor Herald) The Detroit Motor News, publish: | t ea by the Detrolt Motor club, has given wide circulation to the des cription of a device planned for the purpose of checking the grade cross- ing death rate, slowing down the reckless driver and promoting safe- ty in general. Motor Herald Is pleased to reprint the description of this device and presents an {llus- tration herewith. The speed maniac ignores all the devices for protection against accl- dents thus far set up by tho rail. roads. All of these methods of pro- tection, however, depend on a hu- man or mechanical element. This device does not dependton such ele- ments. It compels the operater of a car to slow down to almost a standstill before he can make two turns with his automobile before he can cross the rails. Thus he is af- forded plenty of time in which to learn whether a train is approach- ing and at the game time it gives the engine driver of the train an oppartunity to see him and resort more vigorously to the use of his siren to warn the automobilist of danger ahead. As each car enters the device tt is compelled to fall in behind the preceeding vehicle, an¢ thus the fellow who ts willing to take a chance aganst death by going around other waiting cars is pre- vented from doing so by the con- crete walls, which are high enough to prevent a car from bounding over them. ‘i The greatest advantage of the de- vice from the motorists viewpoint is that he has to make two right angle turns at five miles an hour before he can start across the rails. The device ts equally advantageous day or night. In the day time, of course, the motorist can get a clear view of the tracks over the con- crete walls, while at night the head- lights of his car not alone serve to revea) the thick concrete abut- ment ahead of him as he enters the angle, but they a serve to warn the engine driver of the presence of tho automobile near the tracks. The bridgework and approaches to a grade crossing cast anywhere from $40,000 to $85,000 while this device can be installed at an expense of not more than $3,000. Fewer people would be killed, and fewer cars smashed, numerous au- thorities have remarked, if automo. biles were compelled to come to a complete stop at grade crossings. Tn an effort to put this wisdom into practice, officials of the Long.

A very similar device. tt may be mentioned, posed in France for increasing the safety of country crossroads. The device entirely eliminates the human factor, ence upon electric current or lights, bells or signs. It consists of a con. crete wall, three feet high, paral’el to the road to a point from the tracks. At from the tracks the wa'l forms an angle of 60 degrees until within a few feet of the rails. when it joins @ samilar wall parallel to the right of way. An angle of the road ts thus form- ed, which it is said, compe!s a speed- ing motor car to slow to a speed of five miles per tracks proper can be reached while obstructing: in no way the vision of elther the driver or the engineer. The passageway is but wide enough for one car at a time, thus e'im- inating possible confusion or crowc- Ing on the tracks. Romance {s often the keynote of musical masterpieces.
