In the Automobile World FIND THREE-SPEED LAW QUITE SATISFACTORY Range in Maryland 15, 20 and 38 M.PH. According to Congestion. Ontario motorists will be interest- od in the working out of the new thrée-speed law which has been in- sygurated in the State of Maryland, and which is said to be operating with mueh satisfaction to all con- cerned. : If the motorist enters the State in a country section, a sign announces that the speed limit is thirty-five miles an, hour. As he approaches a town or city there is another sign Iimiting the speed to twenty miles an hour. Entering the thickly set- tied or business part of the city he is directed to reduce the speed to fifteen miles an hour. Having pass- ed through the thickly populdted section, he picks up a sign authoriz- ing him to increase to twenty miles an r, and as he approaches the outskirts he passes the thirty-five mile sign, permitting him to main- tain that speed until he approaches Mathieson & Wilder ' Automotive Engineers Guaranteed repairs on 'all makes of cars and trucks. 346, Princess St. Phone 27685 the next town. The signs are the same throughout the State. 'There is wothing to confuse the motorist. ie has no excuse for violating tite | aw. In carrying out the law the Roads Commission exercised the greatest care in posting the signs. It was | appreciated that uniformity was os- | sential and that there should be no | single exception to confuse the mo-/ torist. Tests since last spring have ! beén most satisfactory. "Despite the increased use of automobiles, acei-| dents have been reduced in number | and there have been fewer arrests. The sigus have been a decided bene- fit to the travelling public in that they definitély establish the different speed zomes and do not ledve it to the opinion of the driver of the car | or the law enforcement officer in each locality. In erecting these signs the officials have leaned to- ward the maximum speed in the be- lief that far more accidents ocour from slow rather than fast moving! vehicles. The signs have been plac- ed throughout the entire state, "It is no longer necessary to ope- rate the so-called speed traps in any city or town in the State of Mary- land or on any other highway in the state," recently declared Commis- sioner Baughman, of the motor ve- hicles department. Insurance Against Damage. Because of the daily increasing congestion of motor trafic, great numbers of mudguards, lamps, radi ators, gasoline tanks and spare rims rare constantly damaged or destroy | ed.

It may also be caused by a loose ground at the lamps or lamp base. When fuses blow out repeai- edly, install a little heavier ones, as an extra load, such as larger globes In lights or a stop signal on sam rcuit, will draw more am- peres Through the fuse. Desert Fleet, A fleet of V-63 Cadillac cars js operated across the Syrian Desert by the Nairn Transportation Company of Beirut, Syria.

Passenger cars are ac- companied by baggage cars which carry water and provisions. Farther South.

"Our cities are placing the chief burden of traffic on our already over- worked police force instead of miak- ing studies of transportation needs, and planning traffic routing ang im- provements on the basis of these studies," declared C. C. Hanch, sec- ond vice-president of the Wational Automobile Chamber of Commerce, who contends that too many prohi- bition are the chief cause of trafic difficulties in cities. "Speed is a relative matter, de- pending upon the time of day, the place, and the conditions of road and weather," he asserts. "What we need most is not the clamping down of an arbitrary speed law, but the quick and safe despatching of traffic at rates of speed suitable to the conditions, "We need more parking, not 'no parking." Facilities at cost should be provided for the all-day parker, and everyone should be permitted to leave his machine at a given place long enough to attend to reasonable errands. Constructive rather than représsive programmes should be the goal." Treatment For Rusted Springs. When a spring is rusted to the ex- tent that it becomes "frozen" in a rigid mass, it should be taken apart, each leaf washed with kerosene, and replaced, inserting a heavy piece of wrappifig paper thoroughly saturat- ed with a good grade of graphite grease between each leaf. Apply en- gine oil freely---it is a good plan to paint the spring leaves with oil. The oil will work down between the Donee BROTHERS SPECIAL SEDAN It is not possible to explain the really remarkable demand for this car on the basis of beauty and comfort alone ~notable as these qualities are.

Foiled spark plugs are caused by the accumulation of carbon deposits in a way to short-circuit them.
