In the Motor World BY G. ADAMS HOWARD. HE American Automobile Associa- tion commenced another of its annual parleys last week with its chief thoughts upon safety and r!ducul(;: of fnotoring tax Burd featuri sessions. Th?.mk of t{:g American Automobile 1 tion has spread abroad, accord- to recent word received here. ‘Malcolm Campbell, noted British racing driver, who recently established a new world land speed record of 272 miles per hour at Daytona Beach, Fla., has introduced in England the idea of Schoolboy Patrols similar to those spon- sored in this country by the American Automobile Association. School Patrols Favored. The national motoring body—which, | through its contest board, authenticated the record established by Sir Malcolm | —has been advised that he has written | numerous articles in support of the safety patrol movement since his re- turn to England, and is enlisting the ald of those concerned with the safety problem. “The noted racing driver became in- terested in the Schoolboy Patrol move- ment while in this country,” says the | American Automobile Association, “and | at that time announced his intention | to crusade for its adoption abroad. He displayed an interest in the patrols by frequent contact with members and was supplied with material regarding their | functions. In Washington he was ted by a group of Boy Patrolmen. “The American Automobile Associa- tion will give Sir Malcolm maximum co-operation in supplying him with ma- terial and other assistance in connection with his effort to give an international character to this safety program. Recalling that the Boy Scout move- ment was originated by an Englishman, | the American Automobile Association | declared that it is most fitting that| land should now borrow from the| United States another idea that has| been so beneficial in its effect on the morale of youngsters. Pointing out that there are now some | 200,000 members of the school patrols | sponsored by affiliated motor clubs in 1,800 cities and towns, and citing the tremendous decline in accidents involv- ing school children in the places where they function, the American Automo- bile Association said that extension of the movement to England would be & worthwhile tribute to the effectiveness of this safety program. A. M. A. Enlarges Scope. The American Motorists’ Association, which has maintained nfatl.onll head- rters in Washington for over seven q::n, announced last night, through omas J. Keefe, general manager, e establishment of an individual metnvl | ¥ bership. | "He?etofore, membership in the| ‘American Motorists’ Assoclation has been limited to automobile clubs lo- in the principal cities of the TUnited States, and the efforts of the association have been devoted pri- marily toward remedial national legls- lation u‘r1 benefit to the general motor- inj c. glgubsddmm. the American Motor- 4sts’ Association has constantly op- posed unjust and unwarranted burdens in the form of multiple Federal State taxation directly affecting motorists. “The individual membership, which marks a new departure in automobile association activities, means that such services as emergency road and tow- bail bond service, touring and ho- information, mlg. etc, can now e had identical with other 3 “The motoring public through. their nembership with the American Motor- ists’ Association can do much to sup- its civic activities, which include and the creasing tax Fegernl e taxes and such as mwmphud ucmm-pmnna blend which would further add a 2 to 4 cent Federal tax per gallon, it is evident that for a continuation of bt';l;e it 'waged lmnst - densome and discriminatory taxation is quite apparent,” as Mr. Keefe has re- marked. ‘The national headquarters of the American Motorists’ Association is lo- cated in the Blackstone Hotel, 1014 BSeventeenth street. TU. 8. Aids City Streets. Inclusion of through streets of towns | and cities in the Federal-aid road pro- | gum is provided by the public works | ill, whereby the President is authorized to grant up to $400,000,000 to the sev- eral States for “emergency construction on the Federal aid highway system and extensions thereof into and through municipalities.” ‘This movement, advocated for some time by the American Road Builders' Assoclation, the American Association of State Highway Officials and Asphalt | Institute, takes its cue from the fact | that although present laws do not per- mit Federal participation in roads run- ning through towns of more than 2,500 | population, this restriction was some- ' Mila_dy’s what liberalized last year. The 1932 emergency road advance of $120,000,000 from R. F. C. funds was loaned for both streets and rural highways; the original Federal aid act provided Gov- ernment money, to be matched by simi- lar appropriations from States, only for State highway use. The R. F. C. provision of 1932 stipu- lated that the money advanced should be used for highway work performed before July 1, 1933, but a later amend- ment extended that date to December 31, 1933. These special funds have been granted over and above the regu- lar Federal-ald appropriations and the States do not have to match them with their own money, as they do in the case of Federal aid funds. Federal aid for streets would be of great value to hundreds of cities, it is pointed out by J. E. Pennybacker, man- aging director of the Asphalt Institute, who believes, however, that cities should retaln home rule on these paving op- erations. Cause of Many Deaths. Deaths of several hundred persons in 1932 were attributed directly to the fact that theyegot out of their auto- mobiles on the left side or walked around to that side to get in, instead of leaving or entering from the right, or curb side. Thousands more were injured, many permanently maimed. Motorists on crowded thoroughfares, driving properly on the extreme right, seldom have & chance to turn out or apply the brakes in time when someone steps suddenly and unexpectedly in front of them from a parked car. If they do stop quickly enough to save the person who has thus exposed himself there is every likelihood of a crash from the rear. The sudden application of brakes catches the driver of the next car unawares and in a sec- ond he finds himself hurtling through his windshield into the car ahead. Turning sharply to the left to avoid striking a person also has its dangers, especially where traffic is both fast and dense. In fact, safety experts can read- ily point to a dozen different ways of g!ttlns’ hurt or causing others to be urt by thoughtlessly leaving a car from the left side without first ascer- taining that the path is clear. Scrutinize Fellow Drivers. Sensible motorists who desire to keep alive and well can help themselves tremendously in this ambition by more closely scrutinizing the drivers of other cars on the highways, especially those proceeding in the same direction, said W. T. Palmer, student of the traffic accident situation and an official of & company making brake linings, in a recent lecture. “We don't pay half enough attention to the drivers who share the roads with us. Yet no study will produce greater dividends in safety and in knowledge of the types of drivers and driving to avoid. We should not, of course, keep our eyes on other cars sufficlently to interfere with our own driving, but a little practice will en- able us to size up other motorists quickly and advantageously. “The following types of drivers are a deadly menace and in a week or so you'll be able to spot them and give them a wide berth: “The weaver—the real road who cannot hold his place in line no matter how fast traffic is moving, but must show what a smart aleck he is by weaving in and out and causing countless accidents by passing other cars regrdless of the danger to him- self and others. “The driver who loafs along until you try to pass him, then speeds up. ‘This moron usually pulls this stunt on hills or curves. Shun him. “Avold all drivers with untidy look- ing cars. The roads are infested with thousands of old ramshackle vehicles with dangerously worn brake linings, steering gears and tires, and with countless comparatively new cars with brakes in need of adjustment. Most of such cars can't be stopped within c‘h!elm mm an hegymen%y and are ly g m and expense through the accidents they cause. A man who pays no attention to the outside looks of his car is unlikely to spend much time on the upkeep of its running . Detour around all shabby-looking vehicles. “The drunk. He's hard to recog- nize until after he’s done the damage, especially at night. “The woman who gives no thought to those behind her, wobbles all over the road, makes sudden unorthodox turns, tangles up all traffic in her train and goes blithely on her way. In spite of widely quoted statements that women are better drivers than men, it isnt true, and this lady is one of the proofs. “The slow-poke in the middle of the road. He is a throwback to a more leisurely and less efficient age. Pass him when it’s entirely safe and leave him to the profanity of others behind him. “The petter with his arm around a girl. He can't give proper attention to his driving and to his amatory problems at the same time and is not intelligent enough to be either a safe motorist or a satisfactory husband.” Motoring BY FREDERICK C. RUSSELL Haven't we had enough grief already | from mixing llcqhol with gasoline? Sometimes you have to protect your- | ®elf against having others give your | car too much attention. Illustrating | this neatly is the care of the woman | who was experiencing trouble unlock- | ing her car. She left her car on a| parking lot and forgot to tell the at-| tendant not to lock the doors. But| there was little fuss when she re-| turned and found he had raised the sindows and locked the doors agains her wish. She had taken the pre- caution to loosen the inside windshield clamps. They pulled the windshield open, reached in and unsnapped the doors. Bome recent tests have revegled in- teresting facts for ladies who like to step on the gas. Congider. for example. that your car normally does 20 miles to the gallon when operated at a con- stant speed of 20 miles per hour. Pirst you accelerate from 15 to 30 miles per hour, then slow down rap- idly with the ald of the brakes until the car is travell 15 miles an hour. Xeep on doing this so the average speed is 205 imiles per hour and you will find that the mileage per galion will slump to 8.6 | Now accelerate with wide-open throt- | $le in high gear and follow this with | another burst of speed in second gear. If there were a convenlent meter to| check the consumption you'd find that the mileage would drop to 8 in the first instance and to 4 in the second. Even at 50 miles per hour your gas mileage drops & full 25 per cent. It is Just like having the price of gas boost- ed from 15 cents a gallon to 20. Maybe a dash of the attitude of a kept their course within reason. But that isn't saying a rut or a hole in the road might not have served to upset the car. What happens when & driver isn't paying strict attention is thet any sudden realization of danger tempts her to rush back to the wheel and start “steering.” It is this un- necessary remedy that usually causes the upset. Experience demonstrates that the consequences of accidents and colli- !sions are worse than the immediate danger to the car and the injuries to the occupants. Just like the car itself, what happens to the driver or the pas- sengers after the smash may turn out to be fatal. Many & frame cracks a few miles after the impact. Many & motorist dles of shock. This su: v thing. I think, is avold- able. Take the car first, by way of illustration. It should be carefully in- spected by a competent service man before being put back into service. This will help to check the development of serious after-effects. Following an ac- cident those who have been involved ought to take it very easy. Avoid argu- ments. Get away from the scene if possible. Persons who are nervous and inclined to heart ailments should take & little aromatics in water.

Speclal Dispatch to The Star. DETROIT, June 17.—As predicted for two successive years, but deferred until this year, automobile manufacturing at last has gained the key position in which it may well prove to be the domi- nating factor Jleading toward a return to normal employment and a conse- quent revival of prosperity in the United States. This is & conclusion to be drawn from a talk with Alvan Macauley, president of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce. In his official capacity Mr. Macauley | has access to facts and figures covering operations of the automobile industry, &5 affected by supply and demand, that form a picture viewed by few aside from himsglf and others associated with him in the inner councils of the world's greatest business, Manufacturing Shelves Bared. ‘The point Mr. Macauley makes is that the severity of the slump bared the shelves of automobile manufacturing and distribution, together with the al- lied industries that feed it. to an extent rarely, if ever, before known in the three decades cars have been built. Reserve stocks that were allowed to pile up during previous periods of de- pression do not now exist for quick marketing to fill the void left more than three years of deferred buying. Modernized factory practice has no leaf in its book that permits excess inven- tories, either of materials or finished products, to lie idle in the warehouse. Like the automobile mnn‘lgé the sup- m stocks of steel and iron, rubber, plate glass, leather, ‘aluminum, per, . lead, zinc, nickel and many other com- ponents of the finished vehicle that the builders can requisition by wire for quick shipment. Denuded of normal plant reserves, the affiliated industries are being forced all the way back to the mine, the for- est, the loom, the tannery and the plantation for what they need to fill orders for motor car factories. ‘Therefore, Mother Hubbard's poor dog, otherwise motorized America, must wait for its bone in the form of new cars for replacement, whenever its r"bficoma ravenous, as it cer- ly L Supply Out Long Time. “Only a few days ago,” Mr. Macauley said, “an order placed with our own factory designated a certain kind of light-colored upholstery. The regular source of supply was asked for it and the answer was that it was all out and had been for a long time. To get it, the supplier said, his firm would have to go right back to the fleece on the sheep. “Most of all, however, the future re- turn of activity will be felt in the metals.”" In confirmation of this, Mr. Macauley cited Iron Age for the fellowing: “Stocks at the steel mills are ex- hausted. All steel now ordered must be rolled. Stocks in warehouses of Jobbers also are exhausted. All finished steel stocks in the country, including steel made for individual prt'?‘e:fl and not yet used, and steel in hands of individual consumers, are 60 per cent under the five-year average from 1924 to 1928. “In some cases steel and iron being trucked to automobile plants from the mills. Shipments by truck are being made from as far as East Chicago and Pittsburgh in efforts to meet demand quickly. Much Labor Provided. “On the authority of calculations made by officials of the Bethlehem Steel Co. it is estimated that the man- ufacture of every new automobile pro- vides 50 hours of labor for the steel industry.” ‘Turning up a report from Packard’s traffic :lfla;nment. Mr. Macauley point- ed to passage: “Rallroads have been forced to dou- ble the time for freight shipments. ‘Where we couid expect a shipment in one week formerly we must now walt two weeks. This is becausa of the load thrown on the railroads by increased business.” (Copyright, 1933, by North American News- paper Alliance, Inc.) W. C. T. U.

When the earthling swelters and droops beneath the load of sultry Sum- mer weather, the air passenger, to a greater and greater extent, as operat- ing altitudes increase, enjoys the crisp Co%l:el? 21 Autumnlike weather. e latest type air transport planes are designed for high-altitude gpen- tions so as to take advantage of smoother and more regular wind con- ditions and high-aititude flying, espe- clally on some of the transcontinental routes where the wind differentials are most noticeable, is becoming increas. ingly common. High-altitude operations result in greatly increased passenger comfort during the hot weather. Even when temperatures go to 100 degrees on the ground, enger planes operating at altitudes of 10,000 feet or higher, as they frequently do on the long trans- continental runs, are apt to encounter temperatures of 50 to 60 degrees.

Experience, he sald, has taught the necessity of having experienced aviation officers on duty with the battle forces for tactical reasons. It also is important, in the Navy opinion, to have officers of the fleet experienced in aviation matters, which can be accomplished only by an interchange of assignments. Co- ordination of all branches of the serv- ice must be obtained if the best re- sults are to be obtained, he said, and this result can be gained best by giv- ing officers actual experience in as possible. To deny airship officers sea duty, he said, would be to deny them the right are | of succession to the high Navy com- mands, since there is not now neces- sity for airship officers of a higher than commander and lieuten- ant commander. He said also that an impairment of eyesight or physical condition of an aviation officer which unfitted him for flight duty might necessitate his separation from the service under the proposed policy, whereas at present he can be assigned to duty in the Regular Navy for wi he may not be disqualified.

Many wit- nesses before the Joint Congressional Committee advocated such procedure, a number of them voicing the opinion that the Akron and the Shenandoah would not have been lost had this sys- tem been in operation. In view of the general situation which has developed as a result of the Akron investigation, therefore, it seems quite likely that, uniless the temper of members of Congress changes dur- ing the next six months, there may be a showdown on this troublesome prob- lem of airship personnel policy next ‘Winter.

The system was intended entirely for the benefit of the public and has been widely publicized. It has been described in great detail in several Department of Commerce publications. It has been shown without reservation to hundreds of representatives of airlines, newspa- pers, magazines and foreign govern- ments. It has been photographed from all viewpoints and theater-goers have seen it in operation via the newsreels in all parts of the United States and abroad. Every one who has had any interest in the system, including representa- tives of a number of foreign nations, has been given the fullest possible op- portunity to inspect the system on Lge ground and to watch its methods of operation from the air. Consequently, officials in charge of the demonstrations at Newark were astounded when a board of three officers of the United States Navy appeared on the scene a few days ago and, after being shown the device, demanded that it be removed from the airport, treated as a military secret and all facts as to g&ldcnnslruction and operation with- eld.

A world landplane speed record over a one-mile course may be set at Chi- cago during the American Air Races, July 1-4 if all goes well with a rebuilt Laird “Super Solution” racer, which will be flown by its designer and builder, E. M. “Matty” Laird.

Jemes H. Doolittle. ‘The plane which Laird has just re- built for the Chicago races is the one in which, three years ago in Chicago, the late Charles “Speed” Holman won the first Thompson Trophy race at & speed of 201.9 miles per hour. The <pfi’§§e was provided with a 450-horse- | power engine. The following year the same plane was flown in the Thompson the late Dale “Red” Jackson, who | placed third despite the fact that he struck a tree, tearing the fabric from the lower left wing panel during the race. ‘The plane was purchased last Sep- tember by Arthur Knapp of Battle Creek, Mich., and has been rebuilt from nose to tall, with the expenditure of more than 1,500 hours of labor, in an effort to add 100 miles per hour to its speed, according to officials in charge of the coming Chicago meet. The engine power has been increased to 600-horsepower; the plane has been completely streamlined, even to the heads of the bolts holding the cowling, and the wings and landing gear have been redesigned for greater speed and lift. A controllable pitch propeller, ad- justable by hand while in flight, alone as given a speed increase of more than 17 miles per hour. The cockpit has been inclosed and the frontal area of the whole fuselage reduced. Laird, who has been building racing planes since 1914, many of which have figured in speed records of one type or another, plans to put the ship over an official speed course on each of the four days of the Chicago meet, flying four laps of the one-mile speed course, two with the wind and two against the wind, each day, the average of the four| speeds being taken for record purposes. | News From the Airports.
