WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 1925 11 URGE EDUCATION T0 CURB DEATHS State Auto Body Scores Pending Legislation Condemnation of attempts to de- crease automobile deaths by new legislation and charges that motorists are persecuted were made in a state- ment issued by the Illinois State Auto- mobile association this week. The motor club urges education of both motorists and pedestrians as a means of selving the problem which has been confronting all American cities recent- ly. The following is its statement : "Compulsion, threats, laws, rules, prosecution, persecution--or licensing --will not decrease automobile acci- dents as the number of motor vehicles increases on the streets and highways. Most authorities, who have studied and analyzed the situation, agree that these methods offer no solution to the problem of accident reduction," points out the Illinois State Automobile As- sociation in a bulletin commenting on driver's license legislation. "Yet these are the tactics employed by the legislators and police in their attempt to control the situation. "The true solution lies in educating the public--motor vehicle driver and pedestrian alike--to remember the rights of others and, through co-oper- ation, see to it that neither infringes upon the other. Must Educate Public "When motorists get in the frame of mind that they must be good drivers-- and to be poor or reckless drivers will bring upon them the scorn of the pub- lic--automobile mishaps of every character will automatically diminish. "When pedestrians realize that 'jay- walking' will condemn them to ridi- cule, the 'unavoidable' accidents will be practically eliminated. "Illinois legislators at Springfield are still trying to curb automobile ac- cidents by legislation, through which the authorities may threaten, prose- cute and persecute the motorist. No notice, however, is taken of that other important factor in these troubles-- the pedestrian. "Four bills are now pending before the state legislature on this subject : two so-called 'Wolff' bills, providing for examining and licensing of every motor vehicle driver in Illinois, the revocation of licenses for the violation of this law, and the creation of a state- wide bureaucracy to enforce it--the second being a slight modification of the original; the 'Barr' bill, which is a_ further modification of the 'Wolff' bills, but which retains the undesirable feature of licensing drivers; and the 'Searcy' bill, which amends the pres- ent Motor Vehicle Act to provide for revocation of the state registration license where a driver is proven reck- less or incompetent, but eliminating both examining and licensing of drivers. Pending Bills Worthless "Neither of the 'Wolff' bills nor the 'Barr' bill is satisfactory or feasible. The 'Wolff' bills are a vicious at- tempt to impose another tax upon the motor vehicle for revenue purposes, to control the owners and drivers by, radical, drastic laws, enforced by political appointees. Legislation of this character is subversive of good government. "The 'Barr' bill is innocuous and is merely a substitute for the 'Wolff bills, but by retaining the licensing of drivers it also imposes an added tax for revenue on mptor vehicles. "Education of the street-using pub- lic is the only feasible solution of this great question. No one can prevent children from running heedlessly into the street in front of an automobile, but care and instruction by the par- ents will do much to relieve this con- dition.

C. Heaney, Evanston, Marmon dealer. The outlook is the most encouraging in the history of the company, with all indications pointing to a yearly sales volume for 1923 exceeding all previous records in Marmon's history. According to a report received by Mr. Heaney sales in March were great- er by 45 percent than the sales in Feb- ruary, the preceding month. Likewise, factory shipments have increased ac- cordingly, the report shows. The factory is at capacity production to meet the demand. The demand has been general, with the three models of the standard line--the five and seven- passenger Sedan and the five-passenger Brougham Coupe--Ileading slightly in shipments. The deluxe line of enclosed cars, with luxurious interior appoint- ments and distinctive features of de- sign, also has met with outstanding popularity, Mr. Heaney says. Buchrarest, the capital city of Roumania, is a bigger city than Denver, Colorado, but Denver has over seven times as many telephones as Buchar- est. 1000 Mrs. Walter F.

A few years ago it was the fuelizer, found only on Packard cars,and then last year, four wheel brakes, for Packard was the first well-known motor car builder to include four wheel brakes as standard equipment. Now, Packard is offering at one time three gifts, the most important improvements since the days of the electrical starter, nearly fifteen years ago. The thousands who have taken delivery of new Packard cars, both Six and Eight, during the past few weeks have found in them: 1. The motor oil rectifier 2. The chassis pressure lubricator 3. The new steering and front spring suspension Numbers 1 and 2 should double the life of your car, reduce operating and maintenance charges and add years to your peace of mind. Number 3 makes available the advantages of low pressure tires with the elimination of dangerous wheel wobble. No other car has these three improvements. = = = May we show you why those who own Packard cars need to change motor oil but four times a year, and how they lubricate their cars in less than one second of time? And will you, as our guest, drive one of these new cars over a route selected to bring out the advantages of the new steering and spring suspension? If it will be any hardship for you to stop at our store during the next few days, a 'phone call will bring a car to you door where you and your family may inspect e latest gifts of Packard.
