fellow to tell 'cm. Naturally, he couldn't see the thing from the right viewpoint. Had an Illustration of what happens in such a case just the other day. A fellow whose car 1 service called up from out in the country askin' me to send out a man to get his spare tire off the carrier. He'd had a collision a day or so before and just assumed that nothin' had been hurt.

When he needed his spare tire he found the carrier so sprung that he could not get the tire off. The trip to the country, together with the cost of straighten' the carrier, set him back $6. Although the other fellow should have paid the bill, this chap had not even bothered to get his name or number. Failure to check up on possible damage after an accident costs lots of others money, the same way. IT'S A SPEED MALADY While it has yet to become a byword in motordom, "gyroscopic kick" is being discussed quite generally in and around the laboratories these days.

The average- motorist might do well to learn about it, for lie is the one who suffers most from gyroscopic kick which, in a mannur of speaking, is shimmy under a new name. Actually it is more than that for wnile it is of the same species, it is not quite the same thing. Gyroscopic kick is wheel wobble, like shimmy, but not on the same grand scale and occuring at high speeds. This is the season for it, of course. While it is not within the motorist's province to eliminate this annoying feature of high speed driving in many cars, by giving it some thought he can diminish its effects.

When starting out on a drive that will permit high speed operation, a preventative step against gyroscopic kick, wheel wobble, or tramp to give it all its names is to put from three to five pounds extra air pressure in the front tires. The rear wheels also suffer from this cause, but the driver Is not cilled upon to absorb the. effects through his urnu a3 in the case of the fiont wheels. DID VOL KNOW THAT The head of the speedometer is an especially line mechanism, like a good watch, and never should be touched except by an The motorist who would not take his timepiece apart, nor allow anyone but a jeweler to do it, should recognize that the same care is required in the case of the speedometer. Ventilation of the closed car is one of the problems that the finest body builders still do not regard as solved? Although linen dusters, goggles and caps have passed out of motordom, a pair of cotton gloves makes a valuable addition to the car's tool kit? VACLIM It KAMA' C-IILTY Why the back of the closed car always gels so dirty is annoying to all motorists and mystifying to many.

The phenomena is not difficult to explain. When the car is running along at a good speed, the wheels kick up quito a bit of dust, Mud and grime. The motion of the car creates a vacuum and this pulls the products of the revolving wheels onto the car body. One car maker at least, has made an effort to overcome the difficulty by so designing in with ie proposeu iui to Savannah.

will likely extend By WILLIAM "There's no fool" like the othef fellow, EXAMPLE WILL II LLP What can the individual motorist do to help in the solution of traffic problems in his own Can he, by himself, do anything in his daily driving which will aid in bringing about better conditions? There is one factor which he can exercise, and that is courtesy. Much has been said and written on the subject of motoring courtesy, and yet it is a fact that apparently but few motorists ever attempt to work the plan in a practical way and give it an opportunity to prove Its real worth. Why not try it out, for a month at any rate, and see whether one's good example will not lead others to go and do likewise? Instead of snatching a right-of-way when it does not belong to him, the motorist should let its rightful owner have it, even if he does seem a bit fearful of taking it. And if some so-called "clever" driver rushes up to the intersection and tries in-timidating a car owner into giving him the right-of-way that legally is not his, the latter would do well just to pitv his very evident asininity and let him steal it. Perhaps an exhibition of gentle-manliness would open his eyes, and he might be tempted to Join you in the one-man crusade.

And if one keeps it up long enough, one can be Mire that it will grow in vigor and strength and usefulness and that the ranks will be swelled by an ever-in creasing number of motorists who will follow the example tf practical con rtesy. At least it is worth a trial to the end that motoring boors be eliminated wherevor possible and traffic conditions be made safe for all. (iOOl) KOADS DKAW CROWDS Heavy traffic on main, hard surfaced highways proves that good roads draw crowds. In some cases it proves that the crowds are too large. Here is where the secondary road enters the picture.

If the state or county develops its secondary roads, and they can be made splendidly use ful at small expense, they too will draw crowds. The throng that they attract will come, in part at least, from the primary highway. Then, both highways primary and secondary will be more useful. -THE OLD MECHANIC SAYS Aviation has somcthin' to teach the average motorist, probably lots of things, but one that occurs to me is the lesson to be learned from difference in attitude between the two fields after an accident. When a plane has been damaged, every part of it is closely inspected before it again is put into service.

The flier won't take a chance on somethin' bein' wrong. The car owner's different. After an accident he's satisfied that nothin' can be the matter if it doesn't show up in a hasty inspection. Often he's right. On the other hand, he's often wrong.

There's one type of accident where this attitude leaves him wrong mora frequently than right. That's the bump from behind that is not so very uncommon these days. I've known of car owners, lots of them, who. never even get out and look to see what damage has been done. They either just assume that nothin' has hap-paned or they leave it to the other I our line over the Florida res cv Vnv West.

Report Given Out to Clear False Impression Said Given Tallahassee, May 12. AP. Florida's crops are worth a hundred million dollars a year. This is the statement of the Bureau of Immigration, which seeks to clear up an apparent wrong impression prevailing from an estimate of the total value of the state's crop for the crop season of 1026-27, sent out sometime ago. The bureau announced that for 192C-27 Florida's crops were valued at $102,647,746.

Newspapers of the state, in printing the estimate, referred to it as one for thejtwo years, instead of for one crop season. Tho bureau, In an editorial to appear in Us next Issue of the Florida Review, its official publication, points out the seeming misunderstanding. "In other words," it says, "while the statistics given related to crop values of one-half of the year 1926, and one-half of the year 1927, they only covered a total period of one year, and not two years as was erroneously stated in the press. The bureau reprinted the list of crops for the season which brought the valuation to above the marks. They are: Field' crops, truck crops fruit and nuts, live stocksold, poultry eggs, milk, butter and cheese, and miscellaneous $5,812,715.

The valuation was based upon the latest agricultural enumeration conducted over the state. BELGIUM SEEKING AMERICAN MARKETS Brussels, May 12. AP Belgium is trying hard to conquer new North and South American markets. A consular agent is about to tour Cauda to introduce Belgian goods into Pacific border provinces. New consular posts are being created In the United states.

Others are being developed and a legation is being opened in Venezuela. In Argentine, Brazil and Colombia, Belgian consular representation also is to be enlarged. SKKS KAIL REVENUE SLUMP That privately owned auto busses in Australia are thriving while the government railways are falling behind, was the recent declaration of Piemier Hgan of Australia. He predicted that as a result the railways will earn $5,000,000 less this the rear of the car so that the vacu-1 um Is broken up. THIS MAY SETTLE IT The traffic officer had ten years' experience at a busy corner so it was assumed that he might throw seme light on the question as to whether men or women were the better drivers.

He was asked. His reply was definite: "Neither. Both are awful." THY EASY WAY FIKST If a wax polish was applied to the car the last time it was cleaned, the motorist may save himself considerable energy if before trying to wash the car again he tests out the results of rubbing the finish with a soft cloth. The dirt, regardless of quantity, may be found to be less than polish deep, and if it comes off without excessive rubbing the car owner is that much ahead. Caution should be exercised against going at the job too briskly, for the dirt may contain abrasive substances that will injure the finish.

AIIOUT (LEANER Tl T.E Faulty carburetor adjustment is blamed unjustly for much of the engine stalling traceable to leaks in the rubber tube of the vacuum windshield cleaner. When the engine stalls in traffic, many motorists are prone to think that the carburetor idling jet is cut down too far. Inspection of the cleaner tube Is a simple matter. If a leak Is found, replace the tube. Then if the engine stalls, blame the carburetor.

IT, TOO, NEEDS GREASE The breaker cam in the distributor is one unit that rarely gets consideration in the automobile lubrication process. Of course, it rarely needs it, but the thoughtful motorist who wants to keep this unit functioning at its highest efficiency will get around to the task once a year, at least. Each side of the cam should be treated to a thin coating of light grease. The best way to apply it is by using a tooth-pick or a match stem. THESE SPRINGS DO BREAK There is little point in being puzzled if there is a hum in the startei but it fails to turn the engine over.

This effect, in nine cases out of ten, has but one cause. The starter spring is broken. In the early days of motoring this trouble was much more common than it is now, but despite the improvements made, starter springs are susceptible to breakage. Their replacement is neither a difficult nor an expensive task. DON'T ItLAME THE PEDAL Some motorists who like to tinker around the car themselves make tho mistake of thinking that a slipping clutch is to be remedied by readjustment of the pedal.

The pedal has nothing to do with the slippage and its readjustment may mean a serious reduction of the clearance between it and the tocboard. The effect is the same as driving with the clutch only partly disenjiged. Slipping of the clutch is remedied within the unit, and unless the car owner is equipped with knowledge of this device, he should leave the task to the service expert. IT CANNOT UK DROPPED In removing front wheel bearings for cleaning or some other purpose, it is well to exercise caution against dropping these units to the floor. Many a bearing has had Its efficiency reduced by being pulled off with the wheel with no thought given to the fact that its cage may be flat-toned by the impact against the floor.

Incidentally, it will be found just as simple to leave the Inner bearing on the spindle If cleaning is the only care it needs. RIGHT START ESSENTIAL The car owner can save himself a great deal of time and trouble, if, before retiming the engine he makes certain that the defect is not traceable to wear on or maladjustment of the breaker contacts. Even If these parts are not found to be at fault, the timing adjustment should start at this point. (Copyright by the Ullman Feature Service) Path of Motorist to Be Made Smoother by Model Municipal Traffic Ordinance Washington, May 12. The complicated task of clearing away the of conflicting traffic ordi-nances which lie in the path of the motorist will be brought to the verge of completion with the publication tomorrow of a tentative draft of a Model Municipal Traffic Ordinance agreed upon by a committee of the National Conference on Street and Highway Safety in charge of this work.

Under the general direction of A. B. Barber, manager of the Transportation Department of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, and William E. Metzger, of Detroit, as' chairman, the committee has attempted to harmonize automobile driving rules and practices prevail ing throughout the country. completed draft of the model ordinance will be sent to police depart, ments, traffic engineers and interested organizations in all cities and tewns, in the light of their criticism the ordinance will be perfected and offered as a pattern for the municipal regulation ot automobile traffic.

The nidtlel ordinance provides a basis for uniformity of traffic regulation everywhere in the United States. It would relieve the bewildered motorist who discovers to his chagrin that there are almost as many different kinds of traffic rules as there are cities. He might bo arrested, lit nothing worse happens, for observing in Philadelphia a rule for the violation of which he is liable t' arrest in Denver or Galveston. At the same time the ordinance is designed to safeguard the no less bewildered pedestrian. The eight articles of the model ordinance cover, among other things, police authority, traffic signs and signals, pedestrians' rights and duties, street cars and railroad trains, stopping, standing and parking, and operation of vehicles.

The model ordinance takes up tlm detailed driving rules for congested intersections, arterial or boulevard stop streets, one-way streets, alloys and other points peculiar to cities. Recognizing the difficulty of keeping slow moving traffic close to the curb, 'and the danger when faster moving traffic is continuously dodging in and out near the center of the street, a provision is included permitting passing on the right on wide thoroughfares under proper conditions when the traffic is moving in definitely established lanes. The committee had before it a report prepared for the national con-ference by the American Engineering Council on Traffic Sigii3, Signals and Pavement Markings based on detailed engineering reports received from 100 cities and town, While these reports show considerable diversity in methods of making turns, types of signs and other details, they disclosed widespread agreement on certain fundamental principles to bo embodied in a municipal ordinance. The model ordinance will recognize both the two color (red-green) and the three color (rcd-yellow-grnen) system of traffic) lights and will contain alternative provisions applicable to these systems but designed to give automobile drivers a definite understanding as to what the different signals) mean. The ordinance is designed, particularly to cope with the problem of drivers who have a tendency to beat the light.

Reports disclose that this tendency has been duo largely to uncertainty in many localities as to what the yellow light means. This' uniform understanding of the traffic signals will bo of tremendous advantage to motorists traveling from one state or city to another, and will also reduce traffic congestion and accidents. The ordinance will provido for greater protection of pedestrians, both at controlled and uncontrolled Intersections. It will offer for the first time, standard rules regarding the respective responsibilities of motorists and pedestrians on city streets. While the 'reports before the committee show a marked tendency toward the adoption of pedestrian control in many cities, there is not yet sufficiently widespread acceptance of this principle to warrant definite recommendation of complete regulation for nil communities.

The ordinance will Include alternative provisions on this point. The proposed, ordinance will clarify the question of where a vehicle may stop momentarily to drop or tako on a passenger, where it may stop only for loading or unloading, where It may stop and remain parked. The ordinance will also provide standard provisions for the community that desires to prohibit all parking in congested areas, prohibit all liarking within certain hours on main thoroughfares, fix time limits for parking, prohibit all night parkings. It will leave for local decision, the questions of times, locations, etc. Other important provisions have to do with safety zones overtaking street cars, clearing the way for fire and other emergency vehicles, railroad grade crossings, clinging to moving vehicles and other matters related to children playing in the streets.

The modPl ordinance was drafted by a committee of one hundred police officials, engineers, traffic judges, of motor clubs, railroads railways, safety councils, chambers ot commerce and other interests appointed by Secretary Hoover. It is in harmony with the Uniform Code also recommended by the National Safety Conference, as the basis for state motor vehicle laws and now adopted and In effect in approximately half the states. The model ordinance is designed to supplement the state law applying it to towns and cities with appropriate provisions to meet urban conditions. Palm Boach, where they will take up their residence.

As an engineering feat, the construction of this mighty wall, 300 feet wide at the bottom and 23 feet above sea level at the top, has been compared to the building of the 1'anami Canal. Sand, granite and boulder clay are the materials used, the latter coming from the bed of the Zee Itself. Two locks and 30 sluices, needed to care for the flow of the river Yssel, a branch of the Rhine emptying into the Zee, are being The lake to be left behind the dike will have an area of 280,000 acres and ill cover only such portions ot the present Zee bottom as are un-suited to cultivation.

The expense of the main dike, over which a railway can be laid to connect North Holland to friesland, has been estimated at $30,000,000, while the cost of reclaiming the land ha3 been placed at $200,000,000. There are several golf courses in Hie country designed especially for women. Father of Zuider Zee Dike Comes to Tell of Huge Project Cambridge, Mass. May 12. AP.

The story of Holland's bold effort to make a province to order by reclaiming part of the Zuider Zee bottom has been brought to the states by Dr. Cornelius Lely, the 73 year old father of the vast engineering project. Dr. Lely came to this country to tell the faculty and students of Massachusetts Institute of Technology how the, Dutch engineers are building a 20 mile dike across the Zuidsr Zee from North Holland to Friesland and how most of the water behind this great sea wall will be pumped out to make homes for nearly a half million persons on 550,000 acres of reclaimed land. Part of the dike Is finished, but the undertaking will not be completed before 1936.

Not only will it give Holland some much needed 1-bow room, but a large section of tiw mainland will be protected against the North Sea storms which occasionally break through the old dikes along the shoes, causing serious floods. The water the Zee that is not pumped out will afford a large M.EhjRll ICHRlAlTll Tf A A ft LO nUTAT ONE A "ITiM fc I I ft EJTkrZZ 3 ft sTtDu "sTe a ret a ft j5. e1 a e.A 1 JLA totemLiroam. fo.i 1 sSZ2uo 0 SMJ A I I IBMI-IA I Fi I A I a 4.
