Gasoline has been ths subject of much discussion during the past fsw month and the ever-increasing price due supposedly to under-production has caused soma people to' feel that even the oil wells are going "dry11 In this arid country of our However figures given out by the National Au tomobile Chamber of Commerce seem to disprove both the theory of underproduction and teCfc of crude oil in the field These figure which are taken from the United States Ueodello Survey show that there are about 1000090 barrels of crude oil still in the fields in the United States alone or enough to supply this country with gas for the next 20 year The same authority states that there era about 40009-000000 barrels In the world supply or sufficient to test tbe coming 111 year The United Stales Bureau of Mines comes out with the figures that tho over-production- of gasoline for the last year amounted to 140000000 gallon Just about enough to test us little over a month All of which can be summed up In one we have Just SO years to find a substitute for gasolln unless we want to go to foreign tends for our supply tho same aa we travel to foreign tends for sur stock of another liquid which wa perhap even more widely known If not as extensively used The subject of gasoline and oil con sumption general wear and In fact all the principles which influ ence ths economical operation a maintenance coats of a car have be given very careful study by the designers and builders of the premier motorcar the Aluminum Six with the magnetic gear shift George Donahue president of the Donahue Motors Corporation local Premier distributor said that it was Interesting to note that reports received from' cars sold in this territory are making from 14 to II and even 17 miles to a gallon This Is not qnusual in view of the fact that Premier engineers have successfully overcome all difficulties which have oper-rated against ths wider use of the aluminum englna "The alumlnumlsed motor and the aluminum piston as engineered by Ing it It will be Interesting to know that the upper deck on the Manhattan Bridge formerly used by a trolley has since been abandoned I am credibly Informed that the Police Department has made recommendations to ths Commissioner of Plant and Structures to have this deck planked and transformed into a roadway for tho use of light moving vehicle I believe that this Is a very necessary Improvement and urge that It be undertaken Immediately At present the power of revoking licenses la vested with the Secretary of State The custom Is that when in the estimation of ths traffic Judge the license of an operator should be revoked the recommendation Is sent to the Secretary of State That official In turn hears the testimony of the defendant and decides whether the suggestion of the magistrate should be carried out I believe that tho law should bo amended giving to magistrates the power to revoke license Under the present system but a handful of operators were deprived of their licenses test year in this State white in Massachusetts and Connecticut where the number of motorcars is by far less than the number In this State hundreds of reckless operators were forbidden to continue running motorcar I am not one of those who believe that every accident on the highway is due to carelessness on tho part of the operator Too often la ths pedestrian to blame and for the purpose of diminishing the number of casualties hero in Brooklyn I have inaugurated safety-first campaign which is receiving the full-hearted support of the representative organisation the proprietors of motion picture house the teachers In public and private school and the employers of large numbers of chauffeur am asking the principals of public and private Schools to co-operate with mein the Inauguration of a campaign of education in which the safety-first idea la carried to the children in parodies on nursery rhyme This novel idea I am informed was suc-cessfully carried out recently In Washington I The Toy of Big without the burden of big expense Eighty in a Peerlesi Highcl Yet with all this in reserve die Peerless Loafing Range consumes only half fuel-rations for city driving and all otdinaty purposes The big high-powered car Insilt primarily foe speed wastes fuel at fifteen miles an hour The gentle smooth car built especially for moderate tunning lades power The Peerless Eight with its half-rationed Loafing Range and its full-fed Sporting Range combines the distinctive virtues of both these special types of a trickle of power for the city and boulevard a torrent for hills and the open road Will you let us show you these contrasting power ranges in actual operation?

time are little short of criminal Every operator knows the danger of driving on wet asphalt yet many never look to see If tbe car Is properly equipped and often though carrying chain will drive In the rain without them preferring to tako tho chance of an accident rather than the trouble to adjust the chain Those presiding in the Trafflo Courts have determined that operators of cars must cease turning comers at excessive speed This Is the practice of many operators at street comers at which there la no traffic policeman The lawful rate Is four miles an hour white turning a comer yet operators turn at whatever they happen to be driving and Intersecting streets without even the precaution of sounding a warning My own experience In driving 4 car has taught me that It la difficult to turn a corner at four mites an hour I 4m of tho opinion that the rate of speed may be changed to six or even eight miles on hour and that If this rate were not exceeded there would be very fow collisions and striking of pedestrians on strt comer NmniM Know the State lew Those who own pad operate motor' cars should know that the law obliges them in case of accident to stop Immediately and give their name address and 'license number to the Injured party or the owner of the damaged machine or to a police officer and If no police officer Is In the vicln ity to report the same to tbe neares police station or Judicial officer Failure to do this Is a felony' In the Brooklyn Traffic Court practically all of the violations on the various bridges connecting Brooklyn and Manhattan have occurred on the Manhattan Bridge The roadway on this span Is not sufficiently wide to properly accommodate the heavy trafflo thereon Numerous persona have been Drought before me charged with falling to keep to thright and with form' tag a third line on the bridge This to a very dangerous custom and It has resulted In either killing or seriously Injuring many policemen who have been stationed
