OF ACCIDENTS Analysis of New York Accidents Shows the Leading Factor in Automobile Mishaps "The incredible stupidity of po- destrians and defective brakes on‘ motor vehicles are given as the two leading causes of automobile acci- dents in a highly interesting annaly- sis of New York traffic conditions by Barron Collier, recently appointed public safety commissioner of that city." observes E. T. Strong sales manager of the Buick Motor Co. “In summingnp the first propo- sition, Mr. Collier aptly states that while a. small minority of Americans U} TILL); Auto and Carriage Works Auto Body Troubles Our Specialty ALL AUTO REPAIRS Except the Engine 71-79 NORTH MAIN STREET—PHONE 39 Norwalk Tires 'ashington Street AND ACCESSORIES - Albert FMorgan South Nor-walk are careless of the safety and lives of others. the great majority of Americans seem to be careless of their own.’ Mr. Collier offers as a remedy for the latter condition con- stant educational propoganda in the schools. the homes and elsewhere: also legal pcn‘l‘ilties similar to those prevailing in France for ‘Jay walk.- ing.’ “Although Mr. Collier does not of- fer specifically any other remedy than frequent inspection to correct the evil of defective or inefficient ”raking. so widely prevalent. the. in- fercnccs to be drawn from this state- ment nreunmistakahle. ‘ “The 'ifs' of erstwhile opponents of four—wheel brakes are being speedily disposed of by experience with thousands of four-wheel brake cars in actual service today. These. bugahoos seem at best trival. in View of Mr. (‘ollicr's warning. echoed in police circles throughout the world. that somethinr: more has to he done.’ “As a. matter of fact. something has been done in the growing adopt- ion of four-wheel brakes by’manm facturcrs of the kind who have too much prestige at stake to risk ill- consldered experiments. “Mr. Collier rightly observes that the constant increase in the number of motor vehicles demands more rapid traffic movement and it natur- _ be permitted the . “'ATER ST.

How to Tin a , Soldering Iron of an iron is an ex- tremely simple operation. The point of the iron is. filed, with a fairly smooth file, until it is bright and clean. The iron is then heated un- til it is hot enough to melt a slick or The tining solder. If the cleaned surlm-v 1:... nishes rapidly. however. the iron Hus attained too great a heat and it is advisable to allow it to con! .xnd again clean the point. “hill the surface tarnishes slowly. I::\\'.'r-\er, the iron is at pi‘aclicaily the right temperature. A little flux may then he sprinkled on the point and then rubbed with a piece of solder. “'hen the solder has spread over the entire surface. the surplus may be wiped off with a damp rag and the bit will present a. bright silvery appearance. 4 Removing Lower Fan Pulley On some types of engines. the lower fan pulley is driven and keyed onto the crankshaft. Though the re- moval of this pulley is an easy task for the service station. it presvnts quite a problem to the car owner. Of course, if a large wheel or gear puller is available. a; method of’lt- moval can be usedas antenna of re- rnoval. But. if the garage is barren of any such articles of equipment the task becomes well nigh hopeless. However. the use of the starting crank and a heavy hammer will oft- en solve the problem. By engaging the crank in the dog of the pulley. a few heavy and well-directed blows will often loosen the pulley so that it can be easily removed.

English heavyweight champion, last night. means that Georges will meet Tom Gibbons at Madison Square Garden in December or January. Rickard ten days ago received a cable from the former“ European heavyweight titleholder" in which he expressed the desire to meet Gibbons. Gibbons, the same any the Car- pentier cable was received. notified Rickard through his manager that he was anxious to get. in. the ring and preferred Carpentier as an op- ponent. Rickard cabled Carpen- -tier that if he was successful in his match with Beckett he might con- sider the Gibbons match c105ed. Tex Rickard said today that Car- pentier may comediere before the end of the mouth. Carpentier. it is understood. figure- a- victory ov- er Gibbons will be a stepping stone to a return match with Dempsey. A Carpentier-Gibbons contest might result in an exciting fistic affair. but a match with Mike Mc- Tigue. recognized light weight champion of the would have more import in title issue. Another match for t‘nrpcntier is possible should Slizi win over Kid Norfolk. the Negro light heavyweight champion which according to Rickard, is all set for Oct. 12 provided Sikl is granted a license by the State Athletic Com- .mission. wori d.

At $1335 (at Lansing, plus tax) it is the season’s dominant value. Hung low to the road, with major units cradled in a double frame, and equipped with greatly oversized brakes (15-inch drums, 21/3-inch faces), factors of safety and roadability are espe- cially prominent. A new rear axle, combining the advantages of both the full floating and semi- floating types, incorporates the maximum of de— pendability, accessibility and quietness. Power for every driving phase of city or open road is generously supplied by the remarkably rugged six cylinder Reo engine. ders, 4-bearing crankshaft, intake valves in head 3 Ground cylin- unusually efficient cooling and lubrication systems are among its many marked features.
