July Why open a door for a woman if you are going to push her off the road when you meet her on the highway? This is the way City Judge Charles Bootecriticlzes the lack of chivalry among American mo- torlsts. who otherwise would be polite to the opposite sex. "Automobile driving is ruining the manners of American men." says the Judge. "facntlemon' in automobiles would crowd their own mothers off the road. It seems as if when they step into an automobile they lose alL sense of courtesy or eti- quette. ', “The politest, people on the road nowadays are the profes- sional chauffeurs."

"Not many years ago. it would have been hard to convince the av- erage citizen that two such impor- tant industries. dealing in two dif- ferent types of transportation. could ever get together to their mutual benefit and for the good of business as a whole. \ “Now. however. it has become oh- vlous’that co-operution between the two has come to stay: and it is also probable that the ultimate results will be an appreciable decrease in operating expenses for the former and the opening of a new and de- sirable market for the latter. “Many railroads are now using the motor truck in conjunction with their freight service. In some places 'the gasoline-propelled vehi- cles are actually replacing freight trains for carrying smaller pieces of freight between cities. In other cases they. are used to bring loads to central freight stations. elimin- ating lots of costly switching of empty and partially filled freight cars. , ‘ "Where the trucks are used in carrying freight between cities. they leave and arrive on regular schcd~ nice and are subject to dispatchers’ orders Just as the trains are. They have the advantage of smaller crews, only two men being required. and lower operating costs for small loads. "At the same time. they releaSe the regular rolling stock of the rail. roads. together with their crews fro'rmthc small loads. making them available for hhling carload'ship- ments. This. it is claimed. benefits both the railroad and the shipper. "Automobile manufacturers and railroads are working together to discover every phase of railroad ser- vice in which the motor truck can be used advantageously.

M ed e ‘ Them Optional But Finds Buyers Will Take Nothing Else One of the larger builders of six- cyllnder motor cars has been forcibly shown that the public demands four. wheel brakes. The Paige-Detroit Motor Car Com- pany adopted four-wheel brakes 6f the hydraulic principle January 1. entire public wanted them. The re- sult was the brakes were only of» fercd on Paige and Jewett cars as optional equipment at an extra price. June 1st. it became .impouible for the Paige Companylto build. two- wheel brake cars. as the orders stood 98 per cent. for four-wheel brakes. Rights to manufacture the Paige- Lockheed brakes. under basic pat- ents. were originally secured by the Paige Company two years . before their final adoption. , The Paige-Detroit Motor Car Company was one of the very first to purchase manuhcturing rights to manufacture hydraulic brakes and nearly the last to place them on their products. Harry M. Jewett. president of the Paige Company, first became inter- ested in four-wheel brakes while on a trip to Europe. about a year be- fore announcement was made in this country of their adoption by any motor car. On his‘ return to the factory. Mr. Jewett summoned all of his executives. as well as the engi- neering department into conference. and told them that four-wheel brakes were the coming thing. “We want them to get busy and see what kind of a brake is best suited for general American use." he told Andrew Bachle. vice-president in charge of the engineering division. Months of experimentation with every known type of four-wheel brake followed. The result was the purchase of the manufacturing rights to the hydraulic brake. and frat was two years before the brake was of- fered to the. public by the Paige Company. its executives sew other companies buy the same rights and a few months later saw their motor cars equipped with them. Queries sent the engineering de- partment regarding when the Paige Company was going to be able to an- nounce the brake, always met with the reply from Bachle that "we’ll them right." After nearly a year had elmaed this explanation varied somewhat. It seemed that the brakes were perfect- ed for use in good weather and warmer climates. But Andy Bachle. realising that all of the Paige and Jewett cars were not sold in warm climcs. refused to release the brakes for production until he tried them out during the winter months. Winter did bring on a new set of troubles. Leather cups. used in the cylinders which closed the brake 1925. but felt some doubts that the * give you'the brakes when we get: Connecticut Roads 7 Each week‘The' Evening den- tiael will publish a bulletin from the ltste Highway department giving the conditions of roads “under construction). . 0 bands. had been replaced because they‘ were ineffectual. Rubber, which was substituted. proved also to be theerng material with the solution used. The solution was changed to alcohol and caste roll. Other changes were made and the brakes released to the production department for manufacture Janu- ary 1, 1925. . - Nearly every one of the larger companies in the industry has adopt- ed four-wheel. brakes of some kind or other. Paige was among the “We followed our set pelicy of of. ferlng only the tried and proven on our motor cars." explained Mr. Jew. ctt to the dealers at the various 1925 sulomobile shows. "The service division of the Paige- Detroit Motor Car Company in a re- cent report to Mr. Jewett corrobor- ated the policy of the Paige Com- pany in that it showedthat less serv- ice difficulties have been encounter- ed with the Inigo-Lockheed hydrau. lie four-wheel brakes than with any other unit of the Paige and Jewett last. "Under_our manufacturing license it impossible| for all users of four-. wheel brakes to adopt the same cor- rections on the brakes proven need- ed by our engineering department." states Mr. Jewett. “but we have the upper hand in our inspection meth- eds." "The manufacturing division re- quires that the brakes pass many inspections, chief of which are sev- eral to insure that the pipes. cylin- ders and valves will withstand the heaviest pressure possible to demand of them. "We have our own special testing apparatus. which ’ tries out the seeking equipment before. and after installation. insuring perfect union of all Joints which. in turn. insures that the brakes will function 100 per cent. when delivered on the Paige or Jew- ctt." Bov‘s‘ CAUSE ACCIDENISBY nuns DRIVERS Auto Legal ASS’n. De- clares Children Should Be Warned at Home of Danger If every parent. declares the A. L. A.. could be made to realize that while the public streets are for the use of all .auid children have as many'rlghts as automoblllsts and drivers of other vehicles. still those rights should and must be used in- telligently and with proper regard. for the dangers of which modern automobile traffic is held respon- sible. It is the heighth of folly for a parent to exclaim: “My children have as good a right in the streets as anybody." and then allow the children to play there without warn- ing. and with their immature minds wrongly filled up with such a state- ment. It creates an attitude of de- fiance in the child, toward drivers of cars, and leads to the habit of ‘daring' all drivers of passing vehicles, and sometinflrs with fatal results. Many parents consider their children are able to look out for themselves. It is among boys, however, that many fatal accidents happen. while if they escape death or serious in- juries. thcy grow up to he an even worse type of offender against law and order. How to cope with such youngsters is a problem that might be less serious if the home influ- ences were different. ‘ if some parents would not up- hold their childrcn in such active disrespect of the orderly and or- dinary things in life. many of the child highway accidents would cease: and especially if all parents would try to understand that some of the real causes of accidents are created and allowed to develop in the home. says the A. L. A. MOTOR . NOTES That the English language has be- come the universal commercial lnaguage is shown by the fact that Andre Citroen. chief French manu- facturer of light automobiles. has decided that all of his department heads and others who hold responsi- ble offices must have some knowl- edge of English. W. H. Cameron. managing direc- tor of the National Safety Council. declares that statistics received from. more than 85 cities show an alarm- ing increase in automobile deaths due to intoxicated Joy riders. "Free auto rides hurt our busi- neas." contends the city railway company of Cedar Rapids. Ia. . So the company has asked the city council to increase street car fares from 1 to 10 cents. ' When water is not at hand to help find a small pin-hole puncture. a good method is to use some elm ashes ‘or tire tale for the purpose. With this on the ground. inflate the tire and rotate it a little above the ash. The leak can be found by the disturbance made 'in the ash or powder. When a funnel is not available. an easy way to till the storage bat- tery is by placing the screw driver over the hole and pouring the water slowly along the shank. The tool will direct the water into the bats tery without spilling. 0 O 0 , Baby may havo a comfortable and safe place in the toansau «that by the construction oflths simple seat.
