Under this sys- tem an automobile may be parked with no one in it, a wagon may run into it and the accident will be. de- scribed an automobile accident. That seems hardly fair especially in these days when so many people seem to be busy calling attention to the ex- tent to which people are killed and injured by motor cars. And here is another thing. It is only fair to the industry and to the motor owning’ public that statistics about motor fatalities should explain where the accidents took place. It will be imeresting to note to what extent accidents take place in the crowded cities. The truth is that in most places in the United States the operation of motor cars is nota- bly free from many serious acci- dents. The automotive industry has 2 right to ask for fairness in the dis- cussion of automobile accidents. and pedestrian traffic ‘and fof the safety of both. Merchants along the street where the system) was put into effect complained that motorists no longer looked at the shop win- dows but instead watched the sig nals, Comment is hardly necessary but it might be added that traffic regu- lation and control is simply the busi ness of protecting human lives. 7 The tendency in America as abroad is to do away with Jaws yp limiting the speed of motor vehicles and substituting laws which punish severely for reckless driving The Committee on Traffic Control of the National Conference on Street and Highway Safety, in its report to Secretary Hoover, urged that "reck- less driving and other flagrant dis- regard of the rights of others by any user of the streets or highways should be vigorously and unceasing ly prosecuted ternational Chamber of Commerce have made formal request that highway transport -be ‘one of the topics at the International Cham- ber of Commerce meeting fn Brus- els in’June.

The theme of this year meeting is the economic restoration of Eu- rope, and the argument presented by the American section 1s that motor transportation must neces: sarly play a large part {n the rehabi- litation, Consequently, the subject immediately pertinent in the dts sions. i MOTOR TRANSPORT 1a URGED ON PROGRAM FOR BAUSGELS GATHERING that Believing any “commercial program is complete only if trans: ts tation fully considered, th In: be None WHITE TRUCKS CUT IN PRIGE Price rediictions ranffng from $250 to $300 have been gnnounced. in light duty models of hite trucks, The new prices are effective as of ebruary 1, according to a state- ment made by Walter C.

With the beginning of the new year the company completed a pro- gram of expansion Which greatly fzcreased manufacturing facilities. ‘This included the ar@tion of the new engineering and research bulld- ing, as well as the acquisition of all the buildings adjacent to the truck factory formerly ocetffied by the White. Sewing Mach!ne company. The additions released a great’ deal of factory space, permitting a phy- sical readjustment of the shops and machinery which increased manu- facturing efficiency, The. install- ation of new machinery was another important factor." RATE OF AIR LOSS I BALLOON TIRES SAME ASIN HIGH PRESSURE The rate of loss of gr from bal loon tires is the same ds from high pressure tires, but because of the low pressuie in the former loss of air 1s more quickly noticed. Miller engineers have for some time been conducting investigations into com- plaints for balloon tire ‘users that the low pressure tire loses air more quickly than the high pressure tire.

A great many cases, when report- ed, were investirated and it was found that: on high pressure ‘tires the average inflation is about 50 pounds. The high pressure tire user will let his tire go a month before re-Inflating them and in that period pressure’ will have" decreased 20 25 pounds or about 60 per cent.

The car was started on a 40-foot cinder track in a va- cant lot. ~The throttle was set at 3% miles an hour, the steering wheel turned to make’ the correct circle and left, unfastened, as the car operated. The Oldsmobile ran in this manner 12 hours a day for four days in weeer that neared zero temperature. The total mile- age for the 48 hours was 162 mili and the gas consumption averaged 23.7 miles per gallon. The unfasten- ed steering wheel and the quietness with which .the engine operated caused many of those who saw the demonstration to believe the car was controlled and operated by wire PAIGE AND JEWETT ’ _ REPAIRING OSCAR REDENBO Motors Cleatled by Steam 480 W.
