In the Motor World BY G. ADAMS HOWARD. OOD roads lead into the National Capital from all sides. In a comparatively short time now Baltimore -~ Will be connected with Washing- ton by means of a magnificent boulevard of adequate width. Mo- - torists of the city have watched “ with approbation the progress on that stretch of less than 40 miles. ‘The road to Annapolis is to be ' widened in the near future by the addition of shoulders. The high- way leading to Frederick and the West is in good condition with a little widening needed here and there. True, the short cut is tem- porarily blocked by a fallen bridge over the Monacacy, but the addi- tional few miles made necessary at ‘fi:mm ¢ not enough to com- plain about. Other Improved Highways. Southern Maryland highways | have been improved and short cuts recently made possible. The highway to Richmond also is in fine state of repair, and with the growing Froxreu of the Old Do- minion, it is not unlikely that the road south may be widened in a few years as the road to Balti- more now is being done, even though there is not as much trafiic on it. With the above accepted as true, it surely seems deplorable that one of the show places in the District of Columbia is so inade- quately cared for. Potomac Park 1s & mecca for tourists and Wash- Ingtonians alike, during the cherry blossom season and all others. The Lincoln Memorial, . the Washington Monument and the Arlington Bridge, now almost completed, all add to the majesty of the park. Potomac Park Neglected. wt%{a is 1t then that the lon; stret of road leading aroun Hains Point is being neglected? The part on the south side is a mass of rolls and waves almost ‘ enough to make one seasick. If the foundation of the roadway on the filled-in ground is not heavy enough to carry the wear and tear of thousands of vehicles it should be torn up and remedied. The surface 1s still smooth, but moves like the billows on the sea. * _Another blemish is there to _mar the pleasure of real enjoy- ment. is has nothing to do .with the roadway itself, but the ..value of beauty.

The Sixth International Road Congress will convene here in early October. Fifteen hundred delegates from more than 50 na- tions be in attendance. A fldy p!‘vmfll ae mad:b zl)t all highway nsportation problems. These sessions will mark the first time this international body has met outside of Europe, pre- vious congresses having been held at Paris, London, Brussels, Seville highway administrators, engineers and economists of the world, and will be held in this country at the official invitation of the President. The opening session of the con- gress will occur on Monday, Oc- tober 6, at Constitution Hall in Washington, while remalnlnfl 8es- sions will be held at the buildin of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. These congresses are held at intervals of about four years, al- ways at the invitation of a gov- ernment, and attract the best thought of the world in the high- way engineering and highway transport professions. They are under the general direction of the Permanent International Associa- tion of Road Congresses, which maintains headquarters at Paris. M. Mahieu, a French Senator, is Hesldenc of the association, while . Le Gavrian, professor at the National School" of Roads and Bridges, is secretary general. Named by the President. President Hoover recently named Roy D. Chapin, former president of the National Auto- mobile Chamber of Commerce, as Presldent of the American Organ- zing Commission of the associa- tion, at the same time designating Thomas H. MacDopald, who is chief of the United States Bureau of Public Roads, as secretary general. All arrangements are being per- fected through the organizing commission, with J. Trueman Thompson, professor of civil en- gineering at Johns Hopkins Uni- versity, as convention manager. The honorary committee mmlnfi includes President Hoover and al the members of the cabinet, Sena- tors Willlam E. Borah of Idaho and Lawrence C. Phipps of Colo- rado, Representative Cassius C. Dowell of Iowa and others. The organizing commission, besides Messrs. Chapin and MacDonald, consists of Wilbur J. Carr, Assist- ant Secretary of State; Thomas R. Taylor ¢f the Department of Com- merce, Robert P. Hooper, Ameri- can Automobile {ation; Henry G. Shirley, American As: sociation of State Highway offi- clals; Charles M. Upham, Ameri- can Road Builders’ fation; A. J. Brosseau, Chamber of Com- merce of the United States, and !B!. !:’ Rice, Highway Education oard. To Inspect Boulevard. While attending the congress the delegates will inspect the con- struction work on the new Mount Vernon Memorial boulevard out of Washington and later will be taken on bus tours over modern American highways under the auspices of the Highway Educa- tion Board and the American Automobile Association, with visits to Philadelphia, Pa.; Atlantic City, N. J.; New York, Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo and Niagara Falls, N. Y.; Pittsburgh, Pa.; Youngstown, Akron and Cleve- land, Ohio; Chicago and Rock Island, Ill.; Detroit, Mich.; Boston, Mass.; Providence, R. I, New Haven, Conn.; Greensboro, High Point and Winston-Salem, N. C.; Columbia and Charleston, 8. C.; Savannah and Brunswick, Ga.; Jacksonville, 8t. Augustine, Day- tona Beach, Tallahassee and Pensacola, Fla.; Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth, Minn.; Daven- , Des Moines and Waterloo, and Milan. The congress brings to the United States the leading f:wa; South Bend and Gary, Ind., and numerous other cities. Steel Foundations for Public Roads Is Latest Engineering Development ublic roads is prospect in Steel foundations for the latest dfiv- ent, jhway engineering. motoring public, long familiar with unsightly cracks in d road surfaces and the rutting and shoving of the softer types, may now have roads that will be at all times smooth; that, according to estimates, will last several times longer than pavements now in use, and over which traffic may move with increased safety at a speed ranging_between 60 to 100 miles an hour. "In fact, this steel-based road heralds the coming of the real super- highway, according to the view of road builders, who have given the new de- velopment close study. The first test road embodying this new steel construction is being built on a section of the Sangamon County, I, highway system. As explained by ineers, the road will have a carefull med and prepared subgrade on whicl the steel base and curb will be laid. Next will follow a mastic sand cushion upon which will be placed a layer of 2% or 3 inch brick, with an asphaltic filler poured into the interstices between the brick. The result will be an inde- structible base with a smooth riding surface built into the structure witl sufficient flexibility to meet all changes without breaks or cracks on the surface. Permission to construct this steel sec~ tion has been granted by Frank T. eets, chief engineer of thways in inols, and the test road 1 be built under the supervision of Truman L. Platt, mpeélnwl'mem of highways in ounty. Por this new foundation s type of steel that would resist the corrosive ef- Qacts of rust was essential, and the n Rolling Mills of Middletown, hio, will manufacture the steel for first steel highway. The road will be carefully observed in service, and de- tailed records kept, which, according to its proponents, will bring out its points of superiority. Steel is probably the most universally useful m; important product of the world today, and it has always been a fond, even though vague dream, that eventually there might be highways of steel. However, there were problems to be solved such as construction, proper MOTOR DON'TS DONT NEGLECT THE 4 SHOCK ABSORBERS HYDRAULIC SHOCK ELIMINATING DEVICES SAVE WEAR AND TEAR ON PASSENGERS AS WELL AS CARS. HAVE THEM INSPECTED AT REGULAR INTERVALS -OR traction for traffic, cost and life. It is generally conceded that steel would afford a construction which would have many advantages as to load-bearing strength and ease of laying. But many felt that a steel road could not be built at a price within reason. Also, that it would be difficult to secure proper frac- tion when traffic was placed directly on a steel wearing surface. Steel engi- neers have attacked the problem and by means of extensive research and tests have developed a type of steel- base construction which, used in col nectlon with a proper surfacing mal rial, would not only give an exceptio ally strong highway, but would permit a wearing surface of some flexible type such as asphalt, bituminous-filled brick, etc., which would be ideal for the wheels of traffic. The problem of initial cost of such a superpavement has also been attacked by steel officials and engineers and by using certain methods of eonstruction developed in their tests they have been able to get the cost down to s price comparable to other present-day pave- ments of the higher types. RIGHT OF WAY SET BY COURT DECISIDN American Motori Association Cites Recent Ruling of Wash- ington State Tribunal. That the driver of an automobile the right at an intersection, has right of way is & principle well known to every motorist. The relative duty imposed on each driver, however, has been the subject of much dispute and litigation and has been greatly clarified by a decision just rendered by the Washington State Su- preme Court n;;!‘ nmsmy ’:ho l::t:! leparts of e lotor!

The plaintiff, on the right, was 190 feet away, going 25 miles per hour. The impact occurred exactly at the intersection.” In revers! the decision four rfln ciples controlling the division of r sponsibility were summed up by the | court as follows: (1) If the automoblle on the left is proceéding at a lawful rate of speed and the sutomobile on the right is ex- ceeding the speed limit (which the facts il "z"s'fmul’f- i s caching nof ultaneously approacl :“[Iven point within the intersection, as .

A reckless driver doesn't need a com- pass on the dash to know when she'’s going west. A New Yorker tells one about his wife, who called up around 5 in the afternoon to say that she would atop off to drive him home. His office is at Forty-seventh street in the well known roaring forties. “You stay right where you are” he commanded. “You just got your driver’s Jicense this morning. You couldn’t pos- sibly get through this trafic without wrecking the car.” “I'll be right up” eame the soft answer over the wire. “I'm down at Twenty-third street now.” If the man who lubricates the car starts to use the same grease for the water pump as he employs for the chassis, better head him off and insist that he either use special pump grease or permit you to have this part of the work done elsewhere. Too soft a grease on a pump will permit lubricant to get into the water. Oil in the cooling sys- tem makes it less efficient. ‘The week’s safety hint concerns bringing the car to an emergency halt from a high rate of speed. Always apply the brakes moderately before pressing the pedal firmly. This will help to equalize them and will tip you off as to how to steer if front brakes pull the car to the right or left. For the impending birthday anni- versary, why not something a little dif- ferent in the way of a 'rsonalized aocessory for the car? e of the smartest fitments is a monogram to attach to the headlight cross-bar. Something decidedly ritzy is a chromium-plated screen to fit over the Tadiator core such as one finds on for- eign jobs and two of the smartest American cars. They cost $50. But, as many wiser birds have sald, we only live once. ‘Women who have become discouraged with their driving and who ‘are in- clined to curtail their use of the ear accordingly should absorb a little cur- rent psychology. Driving skill is ob- tained through “conditioning,” which is just & more scientific term for prac- tice and habit. reason why so much poor driv- ing is discovered on week ends is be- cause there are more of the less conditioned drivers on the road. Skill IB" J\;'Al & matter of keeping everlastingly at it On a recent trip I had an oppor- tunity to study the woman driver in action. I found that, among other things, she maintained a good rate of speed on the open road and was not inclined to be a slow-poke. Her driv- ing through the cities was invariably lively and handled with deliberation that marks the expert. I noticed that she did not like to be overtaken, pre- ferring to take the lead at all times. 8o I decided to experiment a little. It may therefore be of interest to record that I was able to get ahead of her every time there was a half for traffic. She invariably stumbled through the gears, generally because of running too fast in low. Another difficulty was trying to shift into low before pressing the clutch pedal All the way down. The radiator is one of the most im- portant units of the car, although ft 8ppears to be inert and unimportant, 1ts purpose alone—that of providing n means of regulating the temperature of the engine—is unique in itself. Many motorists think it simply serves to cool. Especially with radiator shutters is the radiator useful in warming up the engine and in maintoining an efficient operating temperature. Often when the engine and in maintaining an efficlent Jjackets and in the radiator is warmer than the air, In most radiation systems water i drawn from the bottom of the core and is returned at the top after having been pumped throufh the water jackets in an upward direction, This arrange- ment is used because the natural tendency is for the water to rise as it heats around the engine. However, in ises | one other system water is returned to the radiator at the side and flows crosswise. This is considered by some znztrt:un to be & more efficient arrange: ment. Radiators are composed of & core and a shell. The former is quite intricate and, of course, s the real expense of the unit. One type is made up of vertical tubes spaced with metal fins. The honey-comb type is more common and consists of a maze of hollow fins through which the water passes. This is the more efficient type, but also the most costly to repalr in event of leakage. Because the water from the engine jackets is returned to the radiator, a woman does not have to be especially gifted mechanically to appreciate that merely cleaning out the radiator isn't necessarily going to rid the cooling sys- tem of rust. The sediment usually starts at the engine and is carried to the radiator. Rumors of the comin, tomobiles mlz be fession of inability flapper. Recently & woman drove her car into another machine, which she did not from the left. Two er at the time saw but did not want to be Kver since learning intless au- the industry's con- to compete with the RUSSELL. of this I have made it a rule to advise those who ride with me that I do not object to their pointing out possible dangers en route. Four eyes are better than two. Every now and agala in touring one is obliged to store the car where there is a possibility of its being used with- out permission. Some owners make a note of the mileage, but this is unsat- isfactory, as the unauthorized user of the car probably will disconnect the speedometer when taking the joy ride. A surer check is to note the amount of gas in the tank. Usually the borrower of the car will help himself to some gas at the pump in an effort to cover his tracks and invariably add more than he uses. Be careful, of course, not to take the lowered reading of the gas gauge as evidence of use of the car, since many gauges fall a little overnight. Just making notes before leaving the car often will be sufficient to discourage unauthorized use of the machine. The week's safety hint concerns the matter of sounding the horn too long while approaching a dangerous inter- section or curvi rt toots are better. I know of one case where a woman made such a racket with her own horn| she did not hear the signal given by another car. On which side of your car is the muffier and exhaust pipe? That may seem like useless information, but it may the means of improving the plcnic outing. The flooring directly over the exhaust system will heat up on & Summer trip, making that particular side of the car no place to carry the lunch basket. In con!elllng to her fear of traffic, a newcomer at the wheel brought to light @ very much quicker way to get from one point to another in her particular city. In addition the route she discov- ered was a great saving on the car, since there were neither traffic lights nor hills to contend with. There is a little bit of good in every- thin>. Laziness has brought many an invention; fear many an improvement. Some day the folk who like to work with flf\lrel will make a little survey to determine how many husbands let their wives do all the driving. I have known Quite & number of such cases, and have found that the husbands either have never tried to drive or are incapacitated to a A;olnt where they must be chauf- feured. Cases like these—ands they are legion—put an end to criticism of the woman at the wheel and place her in a new and more promising light. ‘With the ave:age man standing more or less in awe of the carburetor, it may seem like folly for any woman to try to gather the essentials of this vital unit of the car. But there is nothing to be lost by trying. It may simplify matters to picture the carburetor as merely a device to break up liquid fuel into vapor and to mix this vapor with & sufficlent amount of air to make it detail of accom- lishing these results that makes car- uretion seem like the Einstein theory. There are a number of successful car- buretors on the market, and most of them work on different principles. Each has to de both economy and per- formance at everything from a crawl to ::prm train speed. This complicates em. Some carburetors have special adjust- ments for the fuel, while others have jets of fixed size, depending on air ad- Justments to provide variations in the mixture. All of them have some auto- matic air adjustments to take care of differences in speed. Most of the newer carburetors have what is known as an accelerating well. It is simply an additional feature to send a shot of gasoline into the mixing chamber to provide extra power when you want to get away 1u|ck1y, Some carbuertors have automatic economizers. That's about the story. It's really net as complicated as junior's algebra. Even the most hasty perusal of the foregoing paragraph will point out the effects to expected when you switch from one brand of gasoline to another. Some gas needs more air, some less. It's ;m like readjusting the carburetor itself. Obivously, you can improve or spoil rformance through a change, g that you do not readjust the carburetor to match the new fuel. If your sedan is not equipped with assist cords, it is an easy matter to have them installed. Many accessory shops carry them in various colors to match the interlor of the car. With such a cord to p, rear-seat passen- gers are less likely to grab the robe rail and pull it loose.

AIR AND SUNSHINE RECEIVED IN MOTORING IS AID TO HEALTH l'I'eclmical Writer Als o Holds That Use of - Automobile Increases Longevity and Broadens Mental Horizon. BY H. CLIFFORD BROKAW, Automobile Technical Adviser. Equilibrium as to the population in | the United States would have been con- | siderably disturbed by the gradually de- creasing birth rate were it not for the fact that better health practices have gradually increased the age at which | death takes place. Among the factors | which have been important in this bet- | longevity, the automobile has been one | of the most influential. With many | factors in civilization tending to keep | human beings within doors during work- | ing hours, the automobile has, on the | other. hand, kept people out of doors | during most of their recreational time. It has been a remarkable instrument in making possible popular outdoor life, which contributes much toward good health, The results of a day’s business and occupational worries are a wenxiness | and nervous fatigue of the body, which | unless repaired gradually decrease the | individual’s vitality and efficlency. The | time which an individual has for recu- peration before the next day's work be- gins is necessarily limited. We can mend machinery and other material things which break down, but we can- not mend our own bodies. We can only provide surroundings which will help the body make its own corrections in the best and quickest way possible. Change of scenery, of activity, of thought has healing effect, and the tired business man who can most often get away for a refreshing change of a few hours at the close of his day's work will be in the long run healthier and hap- pler. He can most readily and quickly enjoy this diversion with an automobile. The heavy traffic of the day is con- siderably @minished when = evening comes, and even if one lives in the big city, it is possible to get out into'the suburbs and country. Moonlight rides are lovely, no one is afraid of night air, and the motion of the car spinning along the road does away with any an- noyance one might have insects. There is as nfuch fresh air when day is done as there is auri.n,auu day. ‘Without taking sunshine into account, riding during evening hours can prove as beneficial and restorative to the in- dividual as daytime riding, which is fortunate for the man and woman who work within doors all day. The effect of change to the eye has a great deal to do with the benefit de- rived by riding away from city scenes. The relief to the nervous system in leaving familiar objects and trains of thought behind for a little while means very much more than is realized and pays dividends in future health and in- creased nervous energy. Stimulation Given. Without doubt sunshine is.of great benefit on a trip, and there is an added advantage of motoring in the da; Sunshine is necessary to the for normal gnwth and maintenance of health. With electricity it has been pos- sible to make use of lamps which ap- proximate the effect of sunlight, and many persons who are not well and strong use it. But this kind of treat- ment lacks zest, and the diversion and fun which comes from a ride in one's automobile through the wind and sun- shine; it lacks the delightful stimula- tion which an automobile trip gives to the individual. Rest is difficult in the city when the thermometer rises and the buildings and city streets retain the heat of the d-dv. Regardless of the temperature, riding is always cool, and a little spin, even if it is within the city, is freshen- ing and helpful, A ride in the evening 1 cool and quiet and make ready for comfortable sleep, although the house to ter health situation and its consequent | gt which the family returns is hot as an oven and the air is still. During the daytime the mother and children can take the car and drive out of the city from the warm, unylelding city pavement, overcrowded beaches and Ell‘ks, out into the country, where there sunshine and an abundance of fresh air and quietness to create and preserve vitality. Phe automobile is g health insurance and helps to keep the family And sports, which delight most peo- ple, are brought closer at hand through the use of a motor car. Distant points where the family may enjoy fishing, sailing, golf, swimming and cln}l&l:\&. are comparatively easily reached. Bfi toocl and maps of all routes obtain- able. Not Restricted. One rather delightful aspect of the automobile is that its use is not re- stricted to a particular age of an indi- vidual or to either sex. Older folks, m"% folks and children alike, gain in Ith and streny by fresh air and sunshine, and find the pleasure of auto- moblle riding equally enjoyable and stimulating. Probably older folks feel most dependent on the automobile and are more handicapped by its lack, for often they cannot travel on trolleys and " trains. Through the automobile they can keep in touch with what goes on in the world, see new country and lovely things as well as younger folks and find it possible to visit relatives and children and grandchildren, which would not be possible without a motor car. There is, besides health, to be gained in traveling by auto, a more broadened mental horizon, New country and new people are seen by taking trips, Travel- mfn-bout by automobile also does one thing more. It keeps the family to- gether a greater part of their leisure time and makes easier for parents the direction and control of the activities of their children. And it is a form of recreation in which all who take part can thoroughly en]o{ themselves. 3 One mlé not call the automobile & luxury, but & common-sense, thoroughty enjoyable necessity. ~Without it the modern family would be far less happy. It does inestimable good in reles the family and the wage earner from the confines of four walls by taking them away from the monotonous run of everyday living and by helping to keep the family united. ‘The fresh air cools and invigorates the individual as the car rolls along, the sun does not seem so hot when the wind blows past and trees and flelds' are F]euins to the eye. The charm and restfulness of the countryside, the woods or the lakeside are fally appreciated on longer, week end trips. SULPHUR CONTENT SMALL Only 10 Per Cent Found in Motor Fuels by Bureau of Mines. ‘The sulphur eontent of typical motor fuels marketed in the Ulnted States is relatively small, according to the United States Bureau of Mines, Department of Commerce, following a survey made in 12 representative cities. More than 90 per cent of the samples analyzed had 0.10 per cent sulphur or less, and 72.5 Por cent had 0.06 per cent sulphur or less. These motor fuels of low sulphur content are found in every city in which samples were taken and it ap- pears that so long as conditions re- main substantially as at present, no difficulty should be experienced in ob- taining gasoline under a specification requiring that the sulphur content shall not be more than 0.10 per cent.
