LESS ACCIDENTS BY BETTER ROADS Improved Facilities Would Lessen Many Dangers. ' (By E. E. Duffy) A signboard ten feet square with the big lettered words, "Danger-Sh- arp Curve" clearly outlined against a background of black and white stripes Is placed In plain view along highway In Iowa, Two people were ' recently placed In a hospital because they didn't see that warning. This merely Illustrates that In auto-mobile accident prevention, chief con slderatlon must be given to the ba-nian equation, personal element, or whatever other name can be applied to human frailty. Fault of Operator. 8tate records show that C5 per cent or more of motor car accidents may be attributed to car operators and that a tenth to a third of the mishaps are due to the negligence of pedestrians. Automobile accidents are Increas-ing, taking the country as a whole. Car usage Is growing for two rea-sons : 0,000 cars are added to those ' present every day, and better roads and the tendency towards motoriza-tion lead to more Intensive use of ev-- - ery motor car. Much can be done, of course, to cut down the human factor In accidents, yet there Is this, too, to be consid-ered. Highway facilities must be constructed that will reduce to a min-imum the possibility of human error In driving cars. High 8psds to Stsy. Automobiles capable of high speeds re without doubt here to stny, un-less some faster means of transporta-tion Is created. Laws cannot train man to be a better Judge of speed or distance and so long as Inadequate highway facilities exist car accidents will occur. Fortunately, for most safe highway facilities there Is a dollars and cents Justification. Highway grnde separa-tions, whereby one road or street passes over another at Intersections, compensate for their cost where traf-fic Is heavy. Pedestrian tunnels, which permit foot traffic to pass safe-ly and speedily under busy thorough-fares, also are economically feasible. - The same Is true of railroad crossing separations, of double-decke-d high-ways, of wide streets and roads. Twenty-seve- n thousnnd people are yearly dying In car accidents. That is too many. Gasoline Dangers Are Not Fully 'Appreciated "Familiarity with gasoline should not make one less cautious of the dangers attending Its use," says Wil-liam It Stewart, Jr president of the Stewart Automobile sclio6l. "While It Is well to know the safe side of gaso-line, It Is fur more Important to know the dangerous side. People who han. die gasoline continually are apt to overlook (he fact that dunger is al ways present, lurking unseen, but ready to work hurm as soon as the conditions are right for an explosion or a fire. "Probably the greatest danger comes from the fact that the vapor Is very heavy and colorless. Since It cannot be seen, there Is little Indication of Ita presence. It may accumulate at the bottom of a closed room or on the floor of a garage until some one drops a lighted match and sets Ore to It When allowed to accumulate In this manner Ita explosive power Is tremendous. - "It Is evident, then, that care must be taken to avoid such accumulation. Keep the premises ventilated so that the vapor wilt be dissipated as fast as It Is formed. Do not spill gasoline, being especially careful while filling tanks. One of the most dangerous devices la a gasoline sprayer, used In cleaning the motor. It should never be used In a garage, and Is not safe even In the open air. The operator sprays the gasoline on different parts of the engine as he uses the brush. By this process enormoua quantities of vapor form which travel to a con-siderable distance seeking a Dame. The operator cannot help breathing some of the mixture, which Is In-jurious."

Starting in Low Gear Is Much Preferred Practice Starting In low gear is a better practice than starting In second, when viewed from the standpoint of pro-- . tectlng the clutch. But, because it Is rather a retarding process when one is In traffic, many motorists prefer to let the clutch take the additional burden of starting in second. One way to get around the difficulty Is to practice getting out of low gear quick- - . ly. Use it only long enough to get the car under way; but, it Is far wiser to nse It Important Pointers on Washing Out Oil Filter When washing out a filter, such as an oil filter, care should be taken to pass the gasoline or other washing fluid through the wire gauze In the direction ounoslte to the normal flow of oil through the device. The reason for this Is that If gasoline Is passed through In the same direction as the oil It will probably leave particles of fluff or other substances that might have been caught, sticking just where they were, while washing In the oppo-site direction would dislodge them.
