D—6 Quick Action Urged to Get Added Motor Cycle Men Plan Seen as Best Method of Cutting Fatalities and Accidents Here Other Trafhc DOWI‘I Suggestions. By G.

It safer. e city out at once. taken, although District officials are united in their approval of an increased personnel. William A. Van Duzer, traffic director, and Inspector B. A. Lamb, head of the traffic bureau, from such action. Many motorists, voicing their ap- proval, stated they were ignorant that Washingtor. had so few motor. cycle men. Many declared that, although they thought themselves to be careful drivers, at least the average, did speed up at times when no policemen were in sight and occasionally only slowed up instead of stopping at stop signs. Their confessions could be made by hundreds of other motorists, who also are average drivers. Quick Action Urged. ‘What should be done, and imme- diately, is for the heads of the Traffic Department to confer with the Dis- trict Commissioners to ask aid from Congress to get the necessary appro- priations. Saving life and property would more than compensate the ad- ditional costs of better patrolling of the city's streets. There should be no delay. % Additional money turned in at the various precincts and Police Court for fines and collateral the first few weeks the added force were at work would go far in paying for needed equip- ment. Soon afterward arrests would drop and the streets of Washington undoubtedly would become much safer. A local manufacturer and reader of these columns sends in 15 suggestions dealing with traffic here. Some of his proposals are rather drastic, but it 1s good to know that Washingtonians at least are really beginning to take an interest in problems here. 1 Under the heading of suggestions that might require congressional ac- tion the following is proposed: 1. Compulsory auto insurance, in- cluding taxicabs. 2. Certificates of convenience and hecessity for any further addition to the present number of taxicabs Under the heading of things the Commissioners may do at once are: 3. Abolish all cab stands now lo- cated on any streets, make cabs leave from off-street waiting lots. This might be required only in congested zones. This will reduce number of cabs than can afford to operate. 4. Go back to “rotary turn.” It makes no difference to us as Washing- tonians what the remainder of the| country may do. If this will re- duce fatalities at corners, where ve- hicles now drive through two lanes of pedestrians who are moving with proper light signal, let us go back to it. 5. “Pedestrian Control.” Put this into effect. By coupling suggestions 4 and 5 pedestrians would have no complaint when required to obey lights, as they would have their “turn” in crossing the street. Increased Speed Seen. 6. Look into present arrangement of Thirteenth and Twelfth streets. Have we by adopting present set-up, because they are now ‘“‘one-way.” en- couraged drivers on those streets to run past 22-mile speed limit? 7. Put a group of Inspector Lamb’s | men in plain clothes, and, if pos- sible, in unmarked cars. Men in uni- form can be seen a city block away and drivers seem to be more careful in presence of officers. Don't say this cannot be done. Raymond Pullman tried it out and I know some of these men were kept in plain clothes for over a year with marked success. 8. Impound cars for any type of 1llegal parking, even over time parking. Let the driver know you mean busi- ness. 9. See that no one in Police De- partment interferes in ticket cases or attempts to fix tickets given by a| subordinate. 10. Recommend to Commissioners that traffic director and Traffic Bu- reau heads alone be consulted in the | matter of traffic regulations. Leave citizens’ associations or any trade! bodies out of the picture. 11. Complete new examination of | all drivers on present traffic regula-| tions. 12. Semi-annual inspection of all automobiles under District of Co- lumbia registry. This to include every- thing on the car that might fesult in an accident to driver or others. 13. Jolt drivers as a class by drop- ping present speed limit and return to 18 miles per hour. 14. If it becomes necessary, even after the above are carried out, then promulgate “No all night parking” on any streets. See study of available parking space already made by Mr. Van Duzer. 15. Limit size of trucks owned in town or out of town which may enter congested area. Some of these freight trucks are too large to be handled properly in the congested area, especially in alleys where some of them attempt to unload. Suggestions Criticized. Commenting on the above sugges- | tions, it seems that numbers 1 and 2| are all right. Numbers 3 and 4 ap- pear unwarranted. There is very likely too much space given to the parking zones on the streets, and in many instances they do prove a traffic hazard, but a service must be maintained for the public. Proper enforcement of existing police regula- tions in regard to the so-called *cruising” or loitering of taixs and their jamming up on cross walks at Intersections would seem sufficient at the present time. This last condition can be noticed particularly during the rush hours at the northeast corner of Twelfth street and Penn- sylvania avenue. The “rotary left-hand turn” was tried here and was proved to be a failure. Besides, uniformity is a thing to be desired. No. 5, regarding pedestrian control, is a wise tion. Efforts now are being m to make this regula- tion enforcible. Regarding No. 6, it is very true that one-way streets encourage drivers to exceed the speed limit. Police enforcement of existing regu- lations can prevent too high speeds. No. 7 is not to be desired. It con- stitutes “traps,” and the majority of opinion is to this method of law enforcement. It is far better to prevent violations than to arrest the offender afterward. More policemen on view would have a better effect. Plan Very Involved. Impounding of parked cars over- time, as set forth in No. 8, would be very involved and confusing. It would require a force several times the size of ours to carry this plan out. Strict enforcement of the pres- ent law, higher fines if necessary and no ticket “fixing” should suffice. No. 8 is answered in the last sentence. , see many benefits to be derived The first part of No. 10 is all right. Regarding citizens' associations and trade bodies there is the only place voteless Washington has a chance to voice its opinions. Their actions should not be selfish, however, or pre- vent’ actions of a Traffic Department whose heads should be more versed on problems confronting the city. Suggestion No. 11 is a good one. In all probability many undesirable drivers would be weeded out. No. 12 is all right. Plans for inspection of vehicles now are under way. Annual compulsory inspection is good, semi- annual would be better. No. 13 is not to be favored. If anything, a strict reckless driving law should be substituted for all sbeed laws here. If the speed was reckless, then the offender would be brought under the reckless driving law. At present a driver going slowly may strike another car or a pedestrian. It might be recklessness, but certainly it would not be speed. This plan has worked out well in several States. Controversial Matter. “No_all-night parking,” as advo- cated in No. 14, is a very controversial matter. There is too much all-night parking, but its abolition should be ac- complished slowly to prevent undue hardships. It should not be wiped out all at once. No. 15, limiting the size of trucks, might be effectively done. Solid-tired trucks have been banned in certain sections and unquestionably true:s large enough to endanger life and property should be banned. _ The contributor’s suggestions are interesting =nd it is to be hoped that If all motorists become safety-minded | the city will become safe. The more | that give time and thought to im- | proving conditions here the better things will be. Auto Sales Advancing.

BY FREDERICK C. RUSSELL. Judging by the accident toll we are still a long way from being out of the red. Now that Winter is slowly bidding adieu women who demand the best from their cars are asking their serv- ice men to check over the damage. Some strange things happen as a re- sult of the hardships a car endures during this most trying of the seasons. | A broken tire chain, for instance, may | slap against some part of the braking | system. In a shop recently I saw an | hydraulic brake tube that had been | broken by constant slapping of the chain. It is not unusual to find tire | rims rusted on the side where they | contact the tube and shoe, due to the wheels standing in slush and snow. An accumulation of rust in one case | was enough to throw the front wheels out of balance. Where icy roads were sanded it is a good plan to see that the air cleaner is put into efficient condition and that the crankcase is manually cleaned | out by dropping the pan and removing the sludge. Some of this sand is cer- tain to work into the carburetor. In a number of cars that use a small extra air valve in the throttle any dirt under its seat will cause the carburetor to make whistling sounds when the | motor idles. As Winter passes into| history better have your mechanic check all the thermostats for rusting, | and when the cylinder head has been | removed for a carbon cleaning see that he checks for possible cracks. In testing the flexible tubing be- tween fuel pump and carburetor it | makes a difference which way the service man blows. Blowing from the carburetor to the pump one mechanic found that there was no obstruction, but still the fuel would not flow as it should. At the suggestion of the owner he finally decided to blow from the pump to the carburetor. It was then that he wound a piece of the Secarifying Road Jobs Reported in Nearby Virginia Road bulletins issued by the Washington office of the Ameri- can Automobile Association this week include several scarifying jobs in Virginia within 100 miles of Washington. Road projects lately reported in this area are: U. 8. 15—Scarifying road from Culpeper to Brandy, slippery if wet. U. 8. 50—Between Washington and Winchester, construction east of Winchester to Boyce is rough. Va. 17—Scarifying road be- tween Fredericksburg and Beale- ton. Va. 20—Scarifyiing road be- tween Orange and The Wilderness. such a way as to act like a check valve, When you ask to have the motor | pepped up a bit so the car will travel faster more easily always remember | that you will need more service. I don’t mean that all of this extra serv- ice will be the penalty for driving! It's just that the 1,000-mile | faster. lubrication dates will roll around more frequently. Isn't it about time that owners watched mlleage and stopped thinking of service as being due on | calendar dates? It is so long since some people have enjoyed the thrill of a new car they are frank to admit they will need to revise many of their habits. One of the most important things to do with the newer models is to refrain from leaving the car in gear. Modern holding brakes rarely fail because they are either part of the service brake system or are operated through a2 drum on the propeller shaft. If the motor is cranked with automatic starting and the car is in gear there is a possibility that the car will lurch forward. Don’t risk this. It isn't necessary. She has been deliberating whether or not to install a clock in the space | on the instrument panel of her new car. This being the first new car she has owned in six years her hesi- tancy in buying a clock is readily appreciated, knowing how inaccurate and troublesome timepieces were on cars even five years ago. Today's clock is not only more reliable, but is saved jarring because cars ride so much better. A woman who takes her motoring ERE is 2 new low-priced car, the first to com- bine the efficiency of modern air-line design with true dignity and beauty. Howevey, despite its price, not everyone can own this Hupmobile. The care and skill that go into its construction forbid haste, and limit the number that can be built.* It has always been Hupp’s policy to pioneer principles . and let others sponsor fads and fan- cies. That explains why so often, when Hupp announces a new car, it proves to be a sensation. May we suggest, if you are to be the ‘“‘one’” of the “‘oné in a thousand,”” that you lose no time in telephoning us for a demonstration. #The maximum production for 1935 of this Hupmobile is 25,000. Statistics show 25,000,000 persons can easily afford this car. That means that only one in a thousand will be fortu- nate enough to own it. Hquob‘ile Bates Brothers T.D. Copeland, Inc.

Why 1s it impdrtant to switch off the wipers? Simply because if. they are allowed to operate for a few min- utes when starting the car in the morning their blades are apt to scratch the glass when scraping over the dried-out dirt on the windshield. Shopping with a friend who was interested in buying a new car, I found that some of the latest products from the assembly line are somewhat different from the samples offered at the auto shows. Detailed but welcome improvements have been made in a number of cases. We found that some of the things we did not approve when inspecting cars at the shows had been done away with.

And the little village down-State which Tony had found too small for him 10 years before was going to have a taste of his ele- gance. Tony was going home for the fraternal spirit of home-coming week. With lurches of the clicking trucks the train swayed over fast miles. Green plush seats petrified. Whistle toots grew more like city noises. Tony glanced at his reflection in the narrow mirror between the win- dows. The derby was cocked low over his forehead. He watched himself slide it to the back of his head with a pass of his hand and took pride in the ease of motion he had so quickly developed. Then he slanted it full on the left side and gave himself up to antici- pation. Maybe they would have a home-coming parade. His living Tony earned as a pan- handler, working the Union Station. The dignity of the derbies there, pa- rading around him, had moved Tony. wearers were the most certain “touch.” And if begging dimes for coffee wasn't his home town’s idea of suc- cess, it was Tony's profession and he was proud of it. It wasn't every panhandler who could take in an average of two bucks a day over these years. And what was more, he was proud of his pride—so, at least, he told him- self. But since he had made good, why shouldn’'t he put up the front of success? At home only the mayor had ever worn a derby—worn it as though it were a top-heavy tin can. But Tony wore & derby with an air. He did everything with an air. He could already feel the beat of drums as he marched in the home- coming parade—with his derby tilted. Tony planned to return the derby to the little State street haberdashery after his return trip. He still had | the sales slip. The warty man in the | short black sleeve protectors who ran | the shop would burn up. Let him! Tony would get his three bucks back. When the train at last screeched {and jolted to & stop Tony swung off. The trainman touched his hand to his cap and Tony nodded in re- | turn like a gentleman to his valet. | The air lay crisp over the frozen | ground. The same crisp air, the | same station, the same street with its red brick paving and two-story frame buildings, but still a one-horse town. leaving it. Tony tugged the knot tight in the { orange tie which blossomed from his dark suit. He stood, then saun- tered toward the lunch car at the far end of the slivery planked plat- form. He entered the little street car lunch room. The boy behind the counter, in a neat white cap, had a glass of water in his hand before | Tony was seated. “Artichoke salad, a fried squab and | a bottle of champagne.” Tony flipped ¢ ‘I'll give you a little advice.” The biggest men wore them.

Tony tilted the derby to the back of his head, according to plan, and appraised his used-to- everything reflection in the mirror across the counter. “You don't have to be ashamed of ham sandwiches,” Tony said when the boy came back. “I started from |a small town myself. In fact, this | very village.” “I knew you wasn't around here much,” the clerk replied while drying |a glass, “when I saw you come in | with a derby on.” “Well,” Tony framed a smug apol- ogy, "I was in such a hurry to catch {my train that I didn't have time to grab another hat.” Everything | was going swell. The derby was the thing; “the front and backbone”— | big-time stuff. He was glad that it was within range of their apprecia- | tion. “It's been 10 years since I've been here. Not much change, I |guess. I'll give you & little advice, | young man.” | The boy leaned forward. | “Don't get stuck in this hole the rest of your life. Get out; see the world. Big places need big men. |And big men need cities.” Tony held his palms flat and widespread on the counter with his elbows turned up and out. It was an effective po- | sition. The boy stopped wiping the glass Tony went on: “Now here in t |town something—well, any I thing—take my derby for example. Tony touched his fingers gently to its brim. “It surprised you. That's what shows.” The boy interrupted: “l was going to sa we don't wear 'em. And be- sides, they broke out like measles after the hat factory was built on the other end of town. Bo we're kind of sick of derbies around here.” Tony didn't even leave the depot but hung around the baggage room for three hours until the city train whistled for the crossing. He was standing on the platform when a kid ran up behind him and knocked the last remnant of success off hi: head onto the tracks. The locomotivc calmly crushed a derby.
