In the_ lVIotor World BY G. ADAMS HOWARD. EW gains in automobile pro- duction for Mach were indicated at a recent meet- ing of the National Auto- mobile Chamber of Commerce in New York City, when the regular monthly estimate placed the out- ut at 246,883 cars and trucks for ast month. Not only does this mean an increase of 25 per cent over the output for the preceding month, but it places the industry ahead of its record for the last nine months. Estimates were based upon factory shipping re- ports for the month. The figures correspond with the table of the Department of Commerce reports. Pressure Disappeared. Pressure for business volume at any price has largely disappeared in the motor industry and with production advancing steadily the motor leaders are looking for- ward to a sales season extend- ing far beyond the usual period. ‘The usual Spring selling continues to increase with good weather. This interpretation of the motor industry’s position was expressed by Alfred Reeves upon his arrival in Detroit for the National Air Show and to hold conferences at the various motor factories. “There should not be any ap- reciable decrease in the automo- ile business this Summer such as has usually followed the Spring buying season,” said Mr. Reeves. “The seasonal influence upon car buying has been substantially reduced through readjustments in the industry’s merchandising policies. A large part of this is due to the manufacturers’ de- cision not to announce new models during the Summer. "Prolgecuve purchasers are as- sured thereby that they can buy cars that will not be a year old for insurance, registration or re- sale purposes until practically the entire 12 months have gone by. Orderly Production Seen. “The new plan will make for more orderly production and steadier employment of labor, ‘with no ‘cleaning up’ of models in Midsummer. “The position of the automobile Industry shows substantial im- provement reflecting its funda- mental strength and ability,” con- tinued Mr. Reeves. “Manufacturers for the past 12 months have been working closer together on common problems, whether they related to broader romotionai work here or in oreign countries; whether they involved the elimination of unsafe cars on the highways through the manufacturers’ junking plan or whether they related to similar plans making for lower produc- tion or selling costs. “There has been no hysteria within the industry, but a very definite recognition that the troubles of the depression are now happily passing and a firm belief that the world requires more and more highway transportation. “There has been a gratifying willingness among the manufac- turers even under these highly competitive conditions to co-op- erate more closely for the ad- vancement of the industry and Plrtlcuhrly to combat restrictive aws or measures of any kind that could be considered unfair to the motor maker or user. “The greatest improvement has been registered in the retail sales division of the industry. “During the depression manu- facturers concentrated on build- ing a t for the principles of merchan their distribution outlets. The leaders recognized that distribu- tion is now the most important angle of the industry and un- usual efforts are being made to improve the dealers’ situation and to co-operate with them in in- creasing their efficiency. Retirement of Cars. “The highway safety plan, un- der which the machinery was set in motion for the retirement of wornout and frequently danger- ous vehicles from service, is one evidence of this. “Although this plan was only recommended to the individual manufacturers by the directors of the National Aumomobile Cham- ber of Commerce comparatively recently, we have definite knowl- edge that more than 350,000 ve- hicles have been removed from the highways as a result. “Official 1930 motor vehicle registration statistics announced a week ago would indicate a sub- stantial elimination of unsafe ve- hicles from the highways during the past year. “The figures show that 2,925,000 wvehicles registered during 1929 were not registered during 1930. This is almost 400,000 more than were recorded in any previous economics into| year. - “All of them may not have been | junked. Some may come back on the roads this year, but the fig-| ures indicate very clearly that the public appreciates that it is un- economical to continue the use of old, unsafe cars in the face of the modern efficient product. “In this fact lies the industry's strongest hope for continuing good business during the Summer and throughout the rest of 1931. Certainly, with the passing of de- pression conditions, the public is MOTOR DON’TS DON'T GET HOOKED ON THE NEW PARKING RULES! THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL CHANGES MADE IN D.C. TRAFFIC REGULATIONS.

Having worn out their old cars they need to replace them with new vehicles, and with the definite assurance that new models will not appear until the end of the year they are willing to buy them now,” con- tinued Mr. Reeves. “Another saving which has been made available to the prospective automobile purchaser by the in- dustry is that in delivery charges. A new schedule of railroad rates on automobile shipments involv- ing a substantial decrease on the delivery charges of cars to some points has just become effective. Model Plan Accepted. “Although the uniform model announcement plan was only rec- ommended to the industry in January, already a substantial proportion of the industry has an- nounced its acceptance. “The plan provides for the bringing out of new models only during November or December of each year and is expected to stabilize the industry by eliminat- ing unhealthy conditions which existed when manufacturers pre- sented their new models at vari- ous times. “Most important to Detroit is the fact that Midwinter lavoffs| for inventory purposes will be | eliminated because manufacturers will be working during November, December and January to stock their dealers with the new cars. “The plan will also benefit the public by removing the confusion which formerly resulted when models brought out some months before were offered in competition with other cars which had just been announced. “The export outlook continues to improve. Foreign countries are still in need of more highway transportation. “Henry 8. Sterling, the Natlonal Automobile Chamber of Com- merce representative, has just re- turned from South America, where for the past 15 months he has been lecturing with moving pictures in 155 cities, says that even the disturbed political and business conditions down there could not wholly block the de- mand for motor vehicles. Busses and trucks are doing even better proportionately than passenger cars. “George F. Bauer of our export department leaves next week for an eight months’ lecture trip on highway transportation through the Far East, lecturing with ‘talkies’ on the best methods of using motor vehicles, or road building and of handling other &roblem of highway transporta- D™ Conditions in Washington. The conditions which Mr. Reeves describes are true in the National Capital. Concerted junk- ing of old machines has not been accomplished in any great meas- ure, although there has been con- siderable amount done by inde- pendent dealers. More optimism is being feit by the local repre- sentatives of the industry at the present time than in many, many months. Sales are being made. The annual meeting of the American Road Builders’ Associa- tion will be held here May 15. Other meetings of old and incom- ing boards of directors of the na- tional association and the various dlv‘;siloem will be held on May 14 and 16. Road Builders’ Meeting. Plans will be perfected at these meetings for the work of the com- ing year. Among the subjects to be discussed are the appointment of joint co-operating committees with the American Association of State Highway Officials and the Highway Research Board and the chairmen of more than a score of committees that will engage in the investigative work of the year. Results of committee work dur- ing the past year will be reviewed and new subjects for committee work examined and approved. Members have submitted a num- Zer of new subjects for investiga- on.

Special Dispatch to The Star. DETROLT, April 18.—The statis- ticians have been busy evaluating the motor cars of 31 and weighing the advances that have been made. This year the average cost of a five-passen- ger sedan has been figured out to be $1,788, as against $1953 for last year. The reduction is credited to lower cost of materials, improved production methods and decrease in profit margins. It extends over a price spread rang- ing from $475 to $15,000, covering all chassis models of all makers now rep- resented in the 1931 line-up. At the same time, as representing increased performance, the car mcdels utilizing greater than 70 horsepower Tose from 68 to 75 per cent last year. The chassis models rating between 50 and 70 horsepower decreased 5 per cent, while those in which from 35 to 50 horsepower is developed remained vir- tually stationary. Economy in Operation. From the standpoint of economy in operation, it is now calculated that the average motorist drives 11,000 miles & year at a cost of 643 cents per mile. On the basis of every dollar invested, it is estimated that 20 cents goes for gasoline, 3 cents for ofl, 27 cents for maintenance, 22 cents for depreciation, 10 cents for tires, 7 cents for garage rent, 3 cents for insurance, 2 cents for license fees and 6 cents for interest. The South American Market. Through the recent British Empire 1 exhibition held at Buenos Alres, the | English automobile manufacturers have | been_endeavoring to secure a foothold in the Latin-American countries. To that end, it was arranged that the Prince of Wales should visit the show, and thereby build up sentiment favor- able to British products generally, and particularly with regard to motor cars. According to a recent calculation made by the export division of the Hudson Motor Car Co. better than 97 per cent of the cars sold in Agentina, which is said to be the best export mar- ket in the Southern Hemisphere, are of American manufacture. In the remainder of Latin America higher percentage. lAlnerlcl, the Hudson survey points out, has pioneered motor sales in this| | market through the merchandising fore- sight of its great automobile companies. e American magnates realized before- hand that the South American republics ar. geographically similar to the United States and that where like conditions prevailed with progressive le ready to_spend money automobiles could be sold. Money and Men Sent. ‘The American makers sent money and men to South America even before suitable roads were built for motor car use. It was costly in the initial stages, but they persevered. As a result the automobile in South America outgrew the novelty stage. Dealerships oW into real distribution and the business thrived. The demand increased to such an extent that the Americans de- cided to establish branch plants for on- the-spot assembly and manufacture, While this was going on none of the European producers were able to at- tempt to locate plants below the equa. tor.

Henry of Detroit, Mich., president of the A. A. A, sald: “One of the pivotal provisions of safety-responsibility legislation is that it expels from the highway a negligent driver who fails to pay damages legally adjudged against him. The provision was concelved as a powerful weapon against the criminal and irresponsible driver. Lower Court Reversed. “The District Court of Appeals for Los Angeles County held that the Cali- fornia Jaw was unconstitutional, on the poor man. Leading lawyers held that there was no discrimination Involved, since the law applied to all operators of motor vehicles, but the case could not be appealed, since it arose out of habeas corpus proceedings. However, the prin- ciples enunciated in the decision of the Court of Appeals were brought before the Supreme Court in another test case, and that court has now ruled that the judgment provision is entirely within constitutional limitations. “Coming at this time, when many Milady’s It doesn’t pay to go on the theory that if you break a law the motor vi hicle authorities can get another.

For the benefit of women who may just be starting their careers awheel let us | pause a moment to consider this im- portant unit of the car. ‘The engine drives an electric gener- ator which not only furnishes the cur~ rent for lights and ignition, but also to charge the storage battery so that there will be current for operating the | self-starter and for providing current | for lights and horn when the car is at rest. Obviously the generator’s output idnes not reach a normal value until the engine is running at a fairly good speed. In practice the generator cuts into the circuit at a car spced of about 10 miles per hour. Below that speed the battery supplies all the current. These two units are wired together, but into the circuit is the “relay.” This is merely two contact points which make the break magnetically in accord- ance with the value of the generator's output. Without the ability of these points to break apart when the car runs slowly or the engine is switched off | the battery would discharge back into | the generator, damaging the latter. | Every now and again, however, these | “relay” points stick and produce just | the sort of trouble I mention. It is al- ways indicated by the ammeter show- ing discharge when everything is switched off.

CLIFFORD BROKAW, Automobile Technical Adviser. With motor fatalities mounting into | the tens of thousands each year, oppo- sition is increasing steadily between the general welfare and personal advantage on the part of drivers. Careful thinkers are suggesting plans whereby legislative | and other measures will alleviate many | of the present ills of motoring and pre- serve many of its advantages. Most Inhuman Action. ‘The most inhul action on the road is that of the “hit-and-run” driver who | leaves his victim to exposure and death | while he sneaks away from all responsi- | bility. Concerted action and co-opera- tion with the Jaw against this offender | is necessary on the part of all who may be near the scene of accident. It has been lug[emd that there be the pay- ment of rewards in an amount not exceeding $100 for the apprehension of offenders where another person is in- jured or killed without a report of the accident being made to the proper au- thorities. This might encoura the sense of responsibility of the public to Such a case and Jessen the possibility of |3 the “hit-and-run” driver getting away. | In this connection it has also been | proposed that a peace officer should be | allowed to arrest without a warrant any | ., person going away without stopping | after an accident when the officer has | reasonable cause to believe the person | arrested committed a violation. Ruln Driving Pleasures. From the standpoint of general driv- ing, failure to signal intentions, cutting blind corners or curves, reckless driving and ol g the normal passage of cars are still habits of some motorists ‘which destroy all the pleasures of driv- ing for the rest of the motoring popu- tion. The abolition of these problems, maintain some, is not dependent upon, legal procedure but upon “each driver meticulously observing every rule for good and safe driving conduct. The example must furnish the contrast for shaming into submission to good stand- ards the ‘boor’ who is being reformed.” Some individuals belleve that a more | equal system of automobile taxes and fees would arise from part-year regis- tration fees and a special fee of $5 or 80 imposed for the registration of auto | speed and operation. Regarding | operation, it might be sald that officials trucks owned by farmers and used ex- clusively for -fllmlmnl purposes and not for hire. increase in the gaso- line tax might have to be imposed to offset this. Criticism of Busses. The last few years have seen quite a little criticism of the busses upon our public thoroughfares. Objections have arisen from the standpoint of their size, T of the bus transportation companies be- lieve that an educational program is essential to remove the erroneous idea of the public regarding the safety of busses. They claim to be able to pro- duce figures showing that busses a the safest vehicles upon the Nation's highways. A bill to limit to 9 feet in width the size of any vehicle which is operated upon public thoroughfares would tend to limit the possibility of busses crowding cars off the road and preventing the most efficient movement of . Another suggestion advanced for the maintenance of the best relations of busses upon the road is to place the regulation of all omnibuses under the urisdiction of State public service com- missions. Needed for School Children. During the last few vears, with the ntralization of schools, busses have become essential in the transportation of school children. During 1929 some 1,277,000 scholars were carried to and from school by this means. This method of getting the children to and from school doors has necessitated certain safeguards, such as restrictions upon type of bus and its operation. Some citizens believe that further steps should be taken and provision made on our statutes that a driver of a vehicle should not overtake or pass an omnibus trans- porting children to and from school while taking on or disc] passen- gers, “school omnibus” sign to be dis- played at the rear. For a long time the beauty of the countryside has been marred by sf boazds and posters. Of late there been another addition to this list of foes of natural beauty—the abandoned auto. The proposal that a tax of $10 be imposed on the owner of each motor vehicle abandoned upon State property may aid considerably in the elimination of this problem in the future.
