seems increditablc, he continued
living in Detroit and witstood the

week when he walke into the De-

Detroit is getting too big for a mere

Mr. O'Neil was visiting "Bill"

dealers, and one of the first auto-
mobile dc-alers in Detroit, when the
Transcontinental Oldsmobile. en-

O‘Neil was given a ride in the lit-

to buy his first automobile, he would
have no other make.

Senior students in electrical and
mechanical engineering of Iowa
State College is an inspection of the
Kenoslia i’actory or The Nash lio-
tors Company one day last week
familiarized themselves with the
various elements that enter into the
construction of an automobile that!
is built 03 per cent. complete within
the walls of one factory. The Stu-
dents visited the Nash plant under
the supervision of Paul “F. Eclls.
professor of mechanical enfilneer-
ing. and F. H. McLain. professor of
electrical engineering. The inspec—
tion trip was a regular part of the
college curriculum.
The delegation was greeted by E.
H. McCarty, general sales manager
of The Nash. Motors Company. and
the college men were shown through
the plant by factory guides who ex-
plained as they went along the
Nash straight line production me~
thod wherein each operation 10l-
lows another in logical sequence

ceived until the car is given its final

Teh students were shotvn the
Sash roller bearing plant and were
told that so Jar as it is known
Nash is the only motor car manu-
t‘acturcr that makes its bearings:
they saw the battery of crankshaft
testing machines with mechanism
so accurate that they will register
the weight .0: a. human hair. The
Students "were interested in the Iac~
tory laboratory where they saw the
Brincll testing apparatus and learn-
ed that Nash conducts a test for
hardness of steel used in its product
every day, whereas the goneral prac
tice is to test for hardness once or
twice a. month.
The immense Nash open car body
plant, supplementing the closed
body plants at Milwaukee also of-
tered an interesting feature in the
program laid out for the college
men. There they saw the great
Nash dry kilns. the cutting and saw-
ing of choice lumber. the cutting
of leader for the upholstery and bo-
dy trim, and finally the care that is
exercised in the painting 0’ Nash
bodies. including the drying of each
coat of paint in electric ovens.
Iowa State College is one of many
universities in the Middle-“Fest that
sends students through the Nash
factories each year. Other colleges

CHRYSLER SAYS

‘ SRomRSior
Chairman of M o t o r
Company Declares
Pedestrians Should
Heed Traffic Signals
The other day in Brooklyn the
Appellate Division of the Supreme
Court confirmed verdicts aggregat~
$30.000 awarded in suits brought
against the wife of a wealthy candy
manufacturer. as a. result of I. col~
lision April 19, 1922, inwhich her
automobile was involved. ) The plain-
tiffs alleged they were thrown from
the automobile with which the de-
fendant's car collided. So far the
case is not particularly unusual un-
less it is the amount of the damages
awarded. But:
The defendant was not
machine at the time.
The law holds that the owner of
a. car is liable for injuries it may
inflict. By the same token ‘a rail-
road company is sued for damages
in the event of accident. But we
do not know whether the heavy
damages awarded are equitable.
A study of damage suits shows
that in our large eastern cities there
are few motor owners on juries
with the result that motor car
owners who appear as defendants
are given the limit. In the middle
west where our woners are more
predominant than in the city, half
the average jury is made up of
those who own automobiles. And
the awards are quite different.
If the pedestrians took half the
care to protect himself that the mo-
tor car owner does to protect the
pedestrians there would not be half
as many accidents. The person
who doubts this statement need do
nothing more than study accident
statistics. Jay—walking is the com—
monest cause of accidents. People

Few - States to Show

n-.- .. - J? .
by Rose ’17:“: Bresfichairman o!
the Jurisprudence and law‘ reform
committee of the National ‘Women"
Lawyer's Association? that "Mary-
land, Massachusetts and Connecti-
cut are the only states in the coun-
try which show a decrease in motor
accidents since 1919."
As far as Connecticut and Massa-
chusetts are concerned. the state-
ment is ,corrcct insofar as it relates
to the ratio of fatal accidents to
registrations. The 225 fatal acci-
dents which occurrcd in Connecti-
cut in 1919 was .21 per cent. of the
total of registrations; the 223 such
accidents in 41920 was .1'. per cent.
of the registrations: the 232 fatal ac-
cidents in 1921, .16 per cent. of the
registrations: [the 229 ,fntal acci-
dents in 1922, .14 per cent. of the
registrations: and the 257 fatal ac-
cidents in 1923. .13 per cent. of the
registrations. The percentages show—
ing the proportional decrease. in
Massachusetts for the same years
were: 1919. .223 per cent: 1920.
.15 per cent: 1921. .l-lS‘ per cent.:
1922, .113 per cent. and 13:3. .1 per
cent.
Miss Bres's article, referring to the
Notwithstanding an increase in
the number of fatal motor vehicle
accidents in Connecticut in two of
the past four years. the ratio of
fatal necidents to the total number
of motor vehicles registered has
slightly but steadily declined since
'1910. according to figures given out
at the State motor vehicle depart-
ment.
The statement 'was occasioned by
an assertion in a. newspaper article
proportionate decrease in these two
states. and Maryland, says: “Their
. , us
good record must be attributed to
the high requirements set for drivers
and driving. for in the forty-live
other states there has been an in-
crease in motor accidentsgin the
same period.’.'
The committee on jurisprudence
and law reform of the Women Law—
women lawyer-3' convention at Phila-
ycrs' Association will give to the
delphia in July the result of exten-
sive study of conditions throughout
the country as they effect public
safety on Highways: a resume of the
laws of Connecticut. Maryland and
Massachusetts. and a. list of the
states where motor acidents have
decreased or increased within the
last three years, together with all
the. procurable evidence of need for
uniform laws and enforcement of
traffic laws.
