THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG RED SAFETY CONTROL FEATURES AUTO SHOW Improved Braking Device Is | One of Season's Leading Mechanical Advances. "Each year when the national automobile shows are held in New York and Chicago startling develop- ments in body and mechanical de- sign are expected to come to light," says G. W. Boyd, representative of the Reo Motor Car Company in this city. '""Both the general public and the trade are on the lookout for last- minute features that will give them something to talk about and con- jecture with when they attend or read abou: the national shows. Of course, they look for these same features when shows are held in their own cities.

Bernard, secretary of the London branch of the Ontario Mot- or League, is advocating that the Forest City paint the curbs on city streets in different colors, according to the length time allowed for parking on each block, as is done in Fortland, Maine, according to advice received at O.M.L. headquarters. Mr. Rernard made the suggestion as one way of making parking easier in London, both for motorists and the police. 'In Portland, Maine, this system is followed with excellent results, according to City Manager Harry A. Brinkerhoff. The system there is: No paint, no time limit; yellow paint, one hour limit; white paint, 156 minutes; white paint with black . blocks, no parking. These colors are painted 'on the curbs, in weather- proof paint, which is renewed when necessary, apd, of course, is more conspicuotis than pendant signs and more or less ambiguous standards. . Chrysler "70" Qualities Have. - Set Today s Motoring Standard * Discriminating men and women are Fortlang 1s a city with a large and increasing tourist traffic, and in the summer months parking is always a serious problem for the city police there, as in Ontario cities. Mr. Brin- kerhoff's. recommendation is that these colors or some set of colors be standardized throughout the United States and Canada, so that tourists would know at once on arrival in ary city just how long they could leave their cars in any block. Don't Outdrive. Chains are a precaution against sliding and skidding when the streets are covered with ice and smow, but drivers who obtain best protection from chains are those who operate their cars just as though Saglas had never been thought of. They the drivers who find their chains kelp them to slow down quickly from 20 miles an hour to a standstill ra- ther than from 30 to 10, with a col- lision resulting. Outdriving the chains means driving faster than the chains' protection. -------- No matter how much you belittle onions they come back strong. 25 miles in 6% seconds .... 24 thegallon....sircleaner.... oil-filter re | ice that trains run give Reo passenger models 'split- second' braking in addition to an otherwise standard control. * 'Split-second' braking is accom- plished by an ultra-rapid application ! of brakes made possible when both | service .and emergency, brakes are| controlled by foot pedals. On the | Reo this has been made easy for the | driver accustomed to standard con- | trol by linking the service brake | with the right pedal, as is custom- ary; controlling the clutch with the | left pedal, and linking the | emergency brake with the left pedal in such a manner that it is applied after the. pedal completes the de-| clutching process. "But in addition, the Reo emer: | gency brake is linked with a hand lever, located at the left of the driver in a position which does not | hinder entrance or exit through the | left front dobr. Now the emergency | hand lever can be used for parking, | for negotiating long grades where the driver wishes to leave his clutch / engaged, or, if the driver prefers, it can be used as the sole emergency brake by removing the linkage be- tween, the' clutch pedal 'and the emergency brake. "All of the Reo passenger models, in addition to having the new Safety | Control, now have standard S.A.E.| gear shift. The new Sedan, which | was the feature of both the New York and Chicago exhibits, has longer and lower lines, a lengthened hood, a permanent visor integral with the top of the car, and a num- ber of additional features adding materially to its appearance and de- sirability." Always Train Time. With some of the most serious grade crossing accidents occurring en side lines where rail traffic is so light as to lead the motorist to ima- "about once a week" it has been suggested by many that it might be well for local mot- orists to know train schedules as a further help in striving for safety. In majority of instances, however, it is feared that knowledge of train schedules might have the very op- posite results.
