BY G. ADAMS HOWARD. o rgreatcr need for pedes- trlan con’rol in the Na- N tional Capital can be stressed than the figures vor traffic fatalities during the last month, released by William H. Harland, traffic director, which discloses that 10 pedestrians were killed by their own . negligence. One street car and nine auto- mobiles figured in the fatal acci- dents. the greatest number for any month thus far this year, but in no tase was the driver held re- sponsible. Description of Accidents. A description of the accidents in the sequence of their happen- ing follows: 1. Crossing Columbia south to north.

Walking across Thirteenth | street at I in the middle of the; block. Not looking and in an in-! toxicated condition. Traffic lights| were not in operation at that| time. 4. Crossing between intersec- tion, Massachusetts avenue be-| tween Dupont Circle and Twen- | tieth street. Ran into side of a| machine, near cowl light. 5. Drifting of one truck back road, | tor World oNis for 1929 in cities of more than 100,000 population, accord- ing to the monthly report of the street trafic committee of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce published last week. There has been a decrease of more than 6 per cent in motor fatalities in the first two months of this year as compared with the same period last year. The five big cities having no fatal motor accidents for the period are Bridgeport, Conn.; Kansas City, Kans.; New Bedford, Mass.; Fall River, Mass, and Lowell, Mass. The intensive accident preven- tion work of the Milwaukee Safety Commission is pointed to by Ed- ward 8. Jordan, in the Automobile Chamber report, as an example cf the growing technique in deal- ing with this problem. Milwau- kee’s fatal accidents this year are just half the record of a year ago. The progress in safety has been widespread, not limited to any special size of city nor to any particular locality. = Chicago, De- troit and Cleveland, for example, all show improvement over a year ago, while Birmingham, Ala.; Norfolk, Va, and Des Moines, Towa, also have better records.

The above report is not unlike | any month. It clearly shows that | in the majority of cases the fault | lies with the walker. Is it not up| to him then to be more careful? Is it not up to the Commissioners | then to compel him to be more | careful, if he will not be himself? Officials of the Traffic Bureau have recommended pedestrian control for some time. It is a wise measure, and one for safety. Dupont Circle continues to be the subject of much controversy. ‘The suggested re-routing of the street cars would only be of small aid, Mr. Harland believes. Ac- cording to him, it would only transfer the trouble points. It| would not help the congestion due | to the street cars going west on | P street. A switch would be neces- | sitated at the northern end of the circle which, he opines, would cause confusion, and there would still be the problem of the street| cars still swinging to the west at P street. It is a bad problem. But it would seem that conditions would | be improved if the street cars| were re-routed. Mr. Harland states that proper[ driving by the motorists and proper walking by the pedestrians would end much trouble. One- half of that can be accomplished by present regulations. But how| about the pedestrians? Unless| they are controlled the situation | is only 50 per cent cleared. N. A. C. C. Report.

Milwaukee’s Conditions. “The Milwaukee Safety Com- mission has made a very exhaus- tive study of the accidents in that city during the past year, The facts brought out are an illustrat- ing guide to our approach to this problem. _“Milwaukee’s total highway ac- cidents of all sorts dropped from 12,135 in 1927 to 11,472 in 1928. The total of persons injured was little over one-third of that num-' ber, while the fatality figures were 110 and 132, respectively, in | the two years. “It is a significant fact that the intersection collisions dropped ! from 4,301 to 3,744. [ “The rear-end collisions also declined, from 476 to 139. “These two totals seem to in- dicate that accidents due to in- competence are declining as the . “Unfortunately, carelessness and jay-walking increased consider- ably, so the progress was some-| what offset. “Milwaukee has taken an initial | important step in its thorough analysis of accidents and fatal- must be based on the facts, and| the better the analysis of the facts| the more convincing will be the! demand for remedy.” AUTO PRODUCTION REACHES HIGHEST VOLUME IN HISTORY! BY E. Y. WATSON. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. DETROIT, Mich,, April 6.—The story of the automobile industry under pres- ent conditions of business and indus- trial activity is one of volume produc- tion. The totals reached in March bv the various plants have just been made public, and they are said to rep- resent a grand maximum exceeding anything ever achieved before by the industry as a whole. Never had two large producers like Ford and Chevrolet maintained outputs exceeding 8,000 and 6,000 cars a day, respectively, in one season. There were 181,894 Ford cars manufactured in March, nearly 23,000 more than in Feb- ruary, when the total was recorded as 159,011. Of these 157,005 were passen- ger cars. In the first quarter of the year, the Ford statement discloses, 1.359,353 units, including passenger and com- mercial cars, were built. For the home trade 1,122,836 were produced; 126,460 went for export and 110,057 were turned out by Ford of Canada. . Chevrolet, followirig the switch from the four to six cylinder models, has beaten all production records for one month. March brought an output of | 147,274 cars and trucks. The best | previous month for Chevrolet was May, ! 1928, with a total of 140,775. i The March volume represents a jump from | 121,249 in February, and from 183,657i in March, 1928. Record for Chevrolet. All marks for the first quarter like- wise have been exceeded by Chevrolet. The total has run to 352,701 passenger and commercial cars, compared with 742,184 in the corresponding period of 1928. Hudson, whioh has been maintain- ing a record production of Hudson and Essex cars daily, reports March produc- tion as 44,295, with total for the three months as 108,208. Both figures are the largest this producer has ever achieved for any corresponding period. Hudson officials say sales are even ex~ ceeding factory output. For the week March 23 sales nationally were | credited with a 10 ye arch output of 4,009 cars. o e were retazded by a $5,000,000 which will cover the next two years and double plant ca- pacity. beating 1928 March Packard, besides ol ol , it in March manufac- red with 4,394 as compa 3 first | 4 | first-quarter figures up to 25,284, nearly | double the same period in 1928. Reo, with 4,611 units in March, was 30 per cent ahead of the same month in 1928. The first quarter of this year | totaled 10,160, against 8,148 in the cor- responding 1928 period. The company’s business was evenly divided between cars and Speedwagons. Hupp’s March total of shipments was |8 4,316 cars, bettering that of February, which was 4,161. The Oakland Motor Car Co. this | week placed car No. 1,000,000, which it recently produced, on exhibition in Detroit. The one-millionth car stands out in vivid contrast to the first Oak- land two-cylinder car manufactured in 1907. Since those days production has made a continuous climb from 278 cars in 1908 to 12,311 in 1915, and 54,401 in 1919. By 1926 the annual volume had risen to 192,966. In 1928 the total was 260,000. This year, officials say, the production is likely to reach 300,000 Durant Shows Increase. Shipments from the Durant factories | in Lansing, Mich.; Toronto, Ont.,, and Oakland, Calif.,, during the first quar- ter, officials report, totaled 21,075 units, compared. with 20,976 last year in the same period. Schedules at the Lansing plant are being increased and the second quax;;:er is expected to show additional gains. peaking before the Society of Auto- motive Engineers in Detroit, R. E. Chamberlain, general sales manager of the Packard company, said the auto- mobile manufacturing situation of to- day had reversed the methods of past years. The body engineer has become all-important. “He is growing in importance by leaps and bounds,” Mr. Chamberlain said, “and has so far progressed as to make t well-nigh impossible for the old engi- neers orut;he chassis to catch up or keep pace with him. “It is pretty hard today to buy a poor automobile mechanically. Engi- neers have worked similar ‘lines in perfection of the the automobile to such a Appearance Important. “Under these conditions no one will dhwuntmimmmneeo!hodym‘l- neering.

RUSSELL. Many & man unwittingly confesses to his own inexperience when he boasts of the fact that he can't teach the wife how to drive the family car. Being a woman has its advantages *| as well as its disadvantages when at the wheel. She is inclined to apply the brakes too lightly, which, with the in- ternal expanding type, encourages screeching. But because of her smaller foot and lighter shoe she is not so Ikely to damage the clutch if she for- ge:.ilhw guard against “riding the clutch It's easy enough to get golf rules mixed up with those that go with handling the car, but there is one point of rather striking similarity between the two sports. On the fair- way you keep your eye on the ball, whereas on the highway you keep your hand on it. The ball in this case, ho ever, is the top of the gear-shift lever. Keep your hand on it until you have shifted through to high. Follow through, in other words. It makes for & much smoother shift. Cars don't skid as much as formerly, | 4, which probably explains why so many new drivers do not know that if the car starts to go wild it is important to steer in the direction it is skidding. Quick wit often proves more useful than experience. I saw this neatly demonstrated when a young woman n against a signal plainly set for “Stop.” Did she hesitate, upset traffic and en- gage in a heated argument with the guardian of the crossway? Not this driver* In a twinkling she had swung into a right turn and was going her way down the side street—a move that is legal in a number of cities, It isn't a good idea to have the car | washed the minute it comes in out of the sun or opld. One woman makes sure this pofMt is not overlooked by waiting several hours after garaging the car before phoning instructions to have the car washed. ' Many women have asked me why cars are complicated by the transmis- sion gears. It is a logical query, be- cause most women know that there is no gearing to operate electric dlsh-{ washers or vacuum cleaners. They simply switch on the current and the motor tackles the job directly. Why an engine that is capable of developing 100 horsepower or more should require “crutch” in the form of a transmis- f:lon impresses them as quite mystify- 2. There is this significant difference | between the gasoline engine and the electric motor: The former’s power is based upon its speed. You can give the electric motor a lot of work to do, and if you have enough current it will start. But a gas engine is hardly able to pro- pel itself until it up, regardless of the quantity of fuel in the tank.|. ‘We insert gears in order to enable the engine to rotate faster in proportion to the speed of the driving wheels. The rear-view mirror may be handy to check up on one’s personal appear- ance, but it also serves as a check on the engine. Should a glance into it re- veal the exhaust smoking, the evidence is that too much oil has been put into the crankcase.

Refinishing methods and ideas have | progressed. Now, when yearly model | changes express themselves in no un- certain manner, an owner operating' a 1927 sedan, for example, can drive into | a refinishing station and have his auto- | mobile made to conform to the most | Tecent color selection used by the maker | of his car. | In general, pure colors are steadily | gaining in favor and browns, beiges and blues lead the field in popularity. { Browns are comparatively new as auto- mobile colors. They have splendid neu- tralizing characteristics in' addition to being colors that do not readily show wheels can be duplicated in aluminum lacquer. The average car owner can enjoy the distinction of having his wire | wheels tie in attractively with the nickel |or chromium parts of automobile by using argent or aluminum lacquer. | Argent has a rich, flashy luster of me- | tallic quality which scintillates in sun- | light and is ideal for use on sport ! models. It can be quickly applied and | is an excellent color for concealing dust. | Color Ideals Change. | It is generally apparent that nearly | all of us tire of the color on our motor cars, especially when the car has been ours for longer than a year. More and | more motorists are refinishing by dupli- cating the latest factory color releases, | no longer the same lengthy troublesome | operation as of old. It is no longer | necessary to have the old finish burnt off as in paint and varnish days. Lac- quer finishes, as applied today, allow for a new finish to be sprayed over the old coating when another color is de- sired. Moderate care in preparing the surface for the new colors is now the only requirement. Here are some suggestions for refin- ishing various cars attractively: A sport, convertible will look well with the entire body done in Byram blue with Nassau orange on the wire wheels and an orange stripe on the moldings. A roadster might be lacquered in Cin- derella gold, a brilliant cream, with black moldings and fenders, with Cin- derella gold on the wheels. . Blue and dark brown look well with Cinderella gold. A phaeton with body and wire wheels in dune brown moldings and fenders in Monarch maroon with strip- ing of silver is very distinctive. The top should be in natural beige. Sport Cars in Daring Contrast. Sport cars in 1929 will show some daring contrasts. Yellow browns con- trasted with black and dark browns are being shown on some of the highest priced cars. Put the color on your sport car so as to accentuate the lines of power and speed. A molding that widens toward the rear of the car in some shade darker than the rest of the finish gives an illusion like that of a speed boat and the rear deck seems lower and the her. This .year will witness the extensive use of browns and orange in combina- tion as motor car colors, judging from recent automobile shows and the gen- eral popularity of these colors in prac- tically all dress goods displays in our larger cities. The use of white as a striping or accenting color on top of dark brown backgrounds is growing in favor, doubtless due to the popularity | this new accent treatment has been ac- corded in the field of women’s dress. It has been noted that on certain of the cars of European manufacture a tian red—has thi shade oo‘“mn.; are attract attention on this side of the water; a brilllant yellow orange, Ver- milion, Bengal yellow and Bernese blue make infzruung accent colors for stripe and wire wheels when used with large hub cap. where gravel can mutilate the lacquer :;;im on the vmeel"lnd rgil;w:z the spoke area, making it possll use nearly any brilliant color without danger of overbalancing the color har- mony of the car or altering its silhou ette. .

A. E. Journal. There are records of many cases, even on factory test cars, in | | which 50,000 miles has been obtained and the lining was only about half | worn out. | A large number of cars equipped | with molded brake lining are on the | road, and the records indicate that the wear is generally more satisfactory than it was with most woven linings. MASSACHUSETTS’ 1928 ROAD BILL $8,500,000 Bituminous Macadam Is Used on 93 of Some 128 Jobs in Past Year. | Massachusetts, which in 1893 was the | first State to establish a State high- | way department, built $8,500,000 worth of new pavements on its State road system in 1928. Incidentally its engi- neers gave a distinct shock to the army of highway experts who regard the method of John Louden Macadam, the canny Scotch originator of broken stone | roads, as belonging in & class of an- tiques along with the dodo and the high-wheel velocipede. Out of some 128 jobs 93 were of bitu- | minous macadam, 15 of asphaltic con- crete and 16 of Portland cement con-| crete, or about 140 miles of bituminous macadam, 40 miles bituminous concrete | and 15 miles of Portland cement con- | crete. The State's preference for the modern edition of the time-honored macadam is based upon the striking fact that of the 15 heaviest traveled roads, carrying an average daily traffic of 8354 motor vehicles, 11 were of | bituminous macadam. In this type of pavement about 98 per cent by weight consists of stone or gravel aggregate, thereby making full use of local mate- rials, saving freight and manufacturing costs and insuring quick and easy re- pairs without causing undue inconven- lence to motorists. Highway departments of other States in which are to be found ample supplies of good stone and gravel for road build- ing are giving renewed attention to the | economies effected by Massachusetts in | the hope of lowering their construction | costs and keeping thelr road funds cir- | culating at home. oz |f. il are seeking a car with . . .

BY H. CLIFFORD BROEAW, Automobile Technical Adviser. In the Spring the fancies of many young men are said to lightly'turn to thughts of love. Woman is one df the special charms of this season. It is a logical time to consider the influence of women in the automotive. industry. Is the motor vehicle a man's machine primarily? Or has the female of the species attained an equality with man in this fleld as she is attaining in the realm of economics. It is safe to say that in practically all respects the ladies are as much at| home behind the wheel of a motor car as are the males. In some respects it is doubtless true that the women have the edge on men when it comes to a consideration of motor matters. Cer- tainly the women are an important factor in the whole buskiess of motor- ing. Their influence i6 very much in evidence. Pl Influence of Women. Much of the beauty which is an out- standing characteristic of the modern automobile is probably due to the in- fluence of women. Not that the ladies | have - little consideration for the mechanical efficiency of an automobile. They expect the cars to run and give satisfaction from a mechanical -stand- point—they take this for granted. They do, however, have a well de- veloped esthetic sense which makes them susceptible to unusual beauty in the lines of an automobile, and conse- quently manufacturers, recognizing this fact, have produced cars of unusual beauty and much of the satisfaction which people get out of the good looks of their cars today can be credited to the discrimination of women. This influence of women is even seen in the places where automobilés are on display and sale. At the automobile shows the environment is always in of interior beauty. A modern auto- mobile salesroom is now a place of luxurious . decorations and appoint- ments of refinement. | Color and Body Shades. ‘The introduction of color and the| development of various shades in auto- | mobile bodies, which together with the | majestic sweep of the lines of an auto- mobile go to make it as handsome a vehicle as one could wish, also is due | largely to the influence of women. Man is in the habit of getfing along with | drab colors and would probably be | quite content with the conventional black as a color for his automobile. | ‘Women, on the other hand, are used to wearing vivid colors themselves and | are consequently more interested in the | delightful color effects which are| achieved in the latest automobile models. The interipr luxuriousness of auto- mobiles, as now produced, shows the influence of women. Men are more easily persuaded to put up with certain inconveniences, as far as softness of cushions are concerned or as far as the presence of little extras, such as vases for flowers. ash receivers for cigarettes and the like are concerned, provided the machine takes him where he wants to go and when. Women, on the other hand, insist on having these comforts and some of these accessories, and many automobiles have been sold be- cause of some such factor which ap- pealed especially to the feminine in- terest of the household to which the car is to belong. Women Efficient Drivers. ‘Women are efficient drivers of auto- mobiles and there are thousands of them on the road every day. Anything that the maker of an automobile can do to facilitate the operating of an automobile by a woman is being done. The self-starter, for instance, was an innovation which especially appealed to women and probably stimulated the use of automobiles by those of this sex as much as anything which has | happened in the development of the automobile industry during recent years. It is now possible for a girl to adjust the seat of an automobile so as to be perfectly comfortable, She can manipulate ‘with comparative ease the Lrakes, the various pedals, thHe horn, ignition switch, lights, etc. And when she. gets out on the road with her. car she is fully as competent a driver as one finds anywhere. About the only thing left to satisfy her completely is some method whereby a tire will change itself. However, punctures are few and far between nowadays, and when they do happen the matter of tire changing is certainly not beyond the ability of the average woman driver. Times Have Changed. There was a time when it was really questionable as to whether or not the automobile was as usable by women as men. This was in the earlier days of the industry when, in the first place, the cars were not so easily manipulated even by men and, in the second place, when women were more easily manipu- lated by men. Times have changed and now we find that the automobile yields as responsively to the feminina touch as to any other. We also fina that women have become identified more closely with many other phases of life, all of which have tended to give them a new freedom. One expression of this new freedom is realized in the ownership and the operation of an | automobile. It is easy to see that women v thoroughly competent drivers. While some will disagree, the real answer i1 found in a careful observation of per- sons operating automobiles on our American highways. Taking everythug into consiedration, and especially the most essential factor of safety, it will | be generally observed that women are in every respect as competent drivers as men. This situation in itself tends to make women a dominating influence in this industry. Copyright. 1929, New York Tribune, Inc. BRAKES_MUST DISSIPATE GREAT AMOUNT OF HEAT Temperature of Drums Is Studied as Engineers Seek Solution of Problems. ‘When a car moving at 75 miles per hour is brought to a halt by braking, a great deal of heat. probably the equivalent of between 3,000,000 and 5,000,000 foot-pounds, must be dissipat- ed. The brake-drum temperature, under such gircumstances, often rises momen- tarily to approximately 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit and the necessity of rapidly dissipating this heat must hereafter be given more attention than it has received in the past, said Willlam G. Wall, past president of the Society of Automotive Engineers, at a recent meet- ing of the society’s Indiana section. The improvement made in brakes in recent years has made faster automo- biles possible, and increased decelerat- ing, or stopping, ability has been gained by using larger brake drums and larger braking surfaces, according to Mr. Wall. When a car that travels at high speed is being stopped, the brake effectiveness often is found to be diminishing during the last part of the deceleration, because the brake drum is expanding. With car weight tending to increase, brak- ing ability must of course be increased. Spark Plug Has Hard Task. Few mechanical contrivances rival the spark plug in the strain their reg- ular functions impose on them, says O. C. Rohde, chief engineer in the spark plug industry. For every mile a car runs each of its spark plugs must fire its charge about 1,500 times. Not only must the spark be timed accurately to the thousandth of a second, but the plug must withstand heat variations changing rapidly from the temperatures of the outside air up to as high as 1,800 degrees. Leads in Auto Shipments. ‘The Michigan Central heads the list of railroads as the leaamng carrier of automobile shipments. In 1927 the Michigan Central haul- ed 172,795 carloads of automobiles, trucks and parts that originated at De- troit and other manufacturing ints |on its line, and a further 26,094 car- | loads received from connecting lines | swelled the total to 198.889 carloads.
