JUDGE FALS TO GET RULES OF TRAFFIC Man Shows Regulation in Police Court Which Per- mits Passing Lights. An apparent lack of co-operation be- tween the Traffic Bureau and Police Court has been evidenced in several instances within the last two weeks. A misunderstanding between the two ‘was brought to light early last week, when police made several arrests of motorists for driving past the yellow light at the ne. light-controlled inter- séctions on Rhode Island avenue. The first man brought to trial ad- mitted he drove past the yellow light, but said the regulations permitted him to proceed if he could clear the inter- section in five seconds. Neither Judge McMahon nor the arresting officer had ever heard of such a reguiation, but the defendant produced a copy of the latest trafic regulations to prove his statesments correct. Confronted with ,this evidence, the court dismissed that case and the assistant corporation counsel’s office nolle prossed several others of a similar nature. Judge McMahon declared he had not even been furnished with a revised edi- tion of the traffic act, such as the motorist brought to ecourt, and re- tharked that if the policeman had been given one he evidently had not read it. On the matter of prohibiting the use of 1929 tags before December 15 the ‘Traffic Bureau and Traffic Court were again shown to hold different views. ‘When a motorist arrested for display- ing the tags about a week early was brought in for trial Judge McMahon held that the man was to be com- mended for getting his tags early and took his personal bond. At the same time he implied the Traffic Bureau was inconsistent in urging automobile own- ers to get their tags early and at the same time prohibiting their use until an arbitrary date. He quite frankly suggested to the officer who made the arrest that he use “discretion” in en- forcing such a regulation.

This newest de- velopment ot the movie, the world's entertainment medium, already has been seized upon by industry and commerce and sent out in the world to earn its way as a producer of business—a_super-salesman. The possibilities of the talking film in business are without limit. It is freely predicted by some that it is destined to revolutionize meth- ods in many lines of commerce, en- abling the masters of industry exert their forcefulness and thei personality “to sell” themselves and their interests the world over. The advantages of the talking film in business are well illustrated in its first use. A motor company that has a message to its dealers throughout the country is delivering that message by showing the world's first commercial film, projected through the first portable reproduc- ing devices ever made, at meetings in many different cltie: MIAMI READOPTS TWO-WAY TRAFFLC Desire for Normal Growth After 1924 Emergency Leads to Change. MIAMI, Fla. (Special).—Miami, long held the shining example of efficient one-way traffic operation, has return- ed to the two-way system of four years ago, which was ruled out when Miami's | popéunuon jumped more than 300 per cent. A network of circumstances, chief of | which was healthy development, led the City Commission, headed by Com- missioner John C. Knight, to make the change. The emergency of 1924 had passed, they agreed, and if each section of the -business district was to | grow normally the two-way system had to return. Miami in boom days was a mecca | EXCESS ALLOWANCE of any change in address or occupation | for motoring tourists and traffic author- | was criticized by Judr> Isaac R.

Judge Hitt's criticism was occasioned by the remark of a liceman that “‘everybody” knows they ve to notify the Traffic Bureau of an address change. The court replied that “everybody” did not, that he did not, | and that it was up to the Traffic Bu- reau to send out sufficient notification.

NEW ROADS T0 ADD -TO USE OF GASOLINE Tires, Oils and Other Supplies to Be $old in Increased Quantity Next Year. ‘The year 1929 will see the improve- ment of the Nation's byways to the ex- tent of hundreds of thousands of miles, with consequent increase in the annual car mileage, according to tire experts. This will be reflected not only to larger increase in tire sales, but also in large sales of gasoline and oil, and other accessories in the use of automobiles, # is believed. Authorities are as one in the opin- fon that with the task of improving main thoroughfares well under way, the.| next important step is to improve roads into districts off the main traveled roads, where a large bulk of the rural popula- tion lives. It is pointed out that al- though cars are used at all seasons, even off the improved highways, it is often with difficulty, particularly in the Win- ter and Spring months. County officials throughout the coun. try have mapped out programs of intra county and intratownship road im. provement for the next few years that will increase the mileage of improved roads tremendously, generally at no cost to residents outsidé the section where the roads are located. Naturally such roads are less expensive than main roads, and gravel, cinders and slag are much used for resurfacing. Road improvements into the rural districts are expected to reduce the traffic on maifi highways at the usual times of traffic congestion, as most auto- ists out for pleasure driving will take to the less traveled roads. Such a pro- will speed up traffic flow on main ight s and every autoist will benefit. Rural residents may expect increased service from their tires when the rough, unimproved roads are rebuilt. Driving in ruts and over frozen or stony unim- proved roads causes notoriously rapid carcass and sidewall wear on tires. S RAILS FIGHT MOTORS. By the Assoctated Press. Sharp competition in England be- tween the railways and motar transport services has resuited in a co-operative agreement between the London Midland & Scottish and the Great Western Rail- way companies for further economy expenses, the American consulate ai London reports. ‘Three important stations on the Lon~ itles introduced the one-way system to lead the city into safer channels. | In the years of its operation it worked to the advantage of certain sections while the business of other districts suffered in consequence. With its 50 one-way streets now oper- ating under the two-way system, Mi- ami sees the abolishment of the divi- sion between choice business quarters and poor and merchants whose busi- nesses have felt the attendant depres- sion expect the change to bring them the development that has settled on a select few. Growth Moves Eastward. In the four years past the business development has moved eastward to the bay instead of westward to the residen- tial districts of Miami. Merchants in and along West Filagler street have been at a disadvantage, although topo- graphically their location is the logical of business development. Many of the better class shops and stores have had to give way to mer- chants of lesser distinction simply be- cause of the latter's advantage in lo- cation due to the one-way systsm. Commissioner Knight, with the sup- port of a group of merchants in the less favored business districts, started agitation for the two-way system dur- ing the Summer, and after a consistent campaign succeeded in winning- the ap- proval of City Manager Welton A. Snow ::n‘dt H. H. Arnold, director of public aty. The five commissioners finally agreed on the revision of the traffic rules and Miami returned to 'its original system. System Wins :Much Notice.

Public reaction to the “no excess al- | lowance” policy, recently announced by | a truck company, has been surprisingly swift and favorable, according to Paul W.

By the Associated Press. k NEW YORK.—Pay your garage bills when you buy your automobile. This, the most recent innovation in | the automobile world, may be given a trial in metropolitan New York early in the coming year. Already it has been given a test in Washington, and so suc- cessful has been the experiment the Automobile Service Association of New Kfirk City will consider trying the plan ere, ‘The idea is a prepaid service charge, and would guarantee the- purchaser of a new automobile 10,000 miles without any further cost for repair.

Scientific study of the causes of faulty acceleration of motor-car engines i5 being made by engineers of the Bu- reau of Standards. Investigation is being directed to- ward determining whether the fuel is to blame or whether the fault lies in the engine, or in the carbureter which mixes the fuel and air. The study thus far indicates a gen- eral relationship between the character of the fuel and ‘the acceleration per- formance obtained with it. One point of interest is that of two fuels the one which gives better acceleration under conditions of Winter operation may be poorer than the other under Summer conditions. It has been found that while an en- gine will accelerate about as well with -mally employed has cold jacketed water as with hot. heat- ing the intake manifold greatly im- proves acceleration. In addition, the acceleration obtained with mixtures both leaner and richer than those nor- been accurately measured. The engineers will continue the study of the relation between fuel and accel- eration performance and will test the effectiveness of carburetor auxiliary de- vices designed to give nearly as good acceleration with a low-grade fuel as can be obtained with high-test gasoline. The ultimate object of the investiga- tion is to determine what volatility of motor fuel is most economical from the standpoint of satisfactory starting, op- erating and acceleration, in an effort to conserve American petroleum re- sources. |AUTO ADVERTISING FORMS DISCUSSED Public Attention, Is Claim.

Railroads. ‘The campaign for the elimination of grade crossing death traps has been given a decided impetus through the decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission recommending that rail- roads concentrate their attention and resources on doing away with danger- ous grades instead of spending further money on the installation of train-con- | trol devices. This statement was issued recently by the American Automobile Associa- tion, which has fought for elimination of grade crossings and viewed with alarm the ever-rising death curve at the intersections of railroads and high- ways. ‘The organization points out that there were 11,485 people killed and 32,998 injured in 27,326 grade crossing accidents in the period of 1923 through 1927. “During the ment continues, me time,” the state- ere were 885 people on the railroads, while 579 were killed and 9,817 injured in rail collisions. “This means that more than seven times #s many people were killed at | grad~ crossings than on railroads and t he five-year period. 11-month period of 1927 shows a total of 2,655 thefts and 2,581 recoveries.

Associated Press Correspondent. DETROIT, December 15 (#).—Gaso- line as fuel for mechanical locomotion first was brought into use by Carl Benz, the German engineer. who applied it to a tricycle in Mannheim in 1885. When he brought his device to the Chicago World's Fair in 1893. he probably did | not envision th> day when the motorists | of the United States would spend more | than two and one-half billion dollars | for_gasoline. | Consumption of gasoline, which in| 1927 reached an indicated total of | 10.596,000,000 gallons, has broug‘nti various predictions of what would hao- | pen when the supply became exhansted | —and coincidentally scores of suggested gasoline substitutes. Alcohol Substitute Planned. 1 The substitution of‘alcohol for gaso- | line as motor fuel has been advanced most frequently, but other suggested soyrces range all the way from eucalyp- tus eil to gas generated by charcoal, coal dust and that extracted from straw. Some years ago a South African in- | | | registered ASOMOMOTOR REGISTRATION SEEN Increase of at Least 6 Per Cent Over 1927 in U. S. Anticipated. There will be an increase of at least 6 per cent in the motor vehicle registra- tion in the United States this year as compared with approximately 5 per cent for 1927, according to complete figures frcm the 33 States and the Dis- trict of Columbia, where the number of automobiles at the close of September, 1927, and for the same date ti year have been reported. At the end of September last year 33 States and the District of Columbia had 16,685,967 motor vehicles, while on the same date this year the registration had increased to 17,668,140. Florida was the only State of this num. | ber to show a decrease, while the Dis- trict of Columbia, with an increase of | 16.4 per cent, reported the greatest gain in registration during the 12-month period. Forty-three States in addition to the District of Columbia reported their mo- tor vehicle registration to the automo- bile department of a national insurance company, which has just announced the figures. However, 10 were unable to report the number of motor vehicles registered on both October 1, 1927 and 1928, thereby making it impossible to arrive at any comparative figures for these States. Twenty States had an increase of more than 5 per cent in motor vehicle registration on October 1 this year as compared with the same date in 1927. Connecticut. Montana, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina and South Dakota showed a gain of more than 10 per cent. In Arizona, where 1928 figures were reported, but on the basis of May 1, in one county, and August 31 in 13, there was a gain of 7 per cent over the total registration of 1927. In Delaware there was an increase of 6.9 yer cent during the first nine months of this year over 1927, while in Illinois, Indiana and Wyoming the gains were 3.7, eight- tenths of 1 per cent and 5.7 per cent, respectively, for the first nine months of this year over the complete 1927 reg- istration. ventor claimed to have obtained a “new motor spirit,” obtained from the juice |, 1t the remaining three months of killed and 8871 injured in derailments | nearly twice as many were injured in‘ of prickly pears, and said the fuel had propelled a six-cylinder car 22 miles on one gallon without special carburetor adjustments.
