Average Would-Be Driver Is Unfam iliar With Traffic Laws’ Purpose, Safety Directors Told

Course Operation in Progress At Indiana U.

Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Feb. 18.—A course in traffic efficiency and automobile operation has been in progress at Indiana University this week for safety directors of -Indiana public schools. The school has been conducted

? in Effic Efficient Auto

by Dr. P, R. Noisinger and Prof. A. E. Neyhart, American Automobile Association representatives, in cooperation with Indiana University. Prof. W. W. Paify and B. V. Bechdolt of the university have helped conduct classes.

The greatest problem in teaching would-be auto drivers is correcting their attitude toward state and municipal traffic laws, according to Dr. Noffsinger. The average student in driver courses is familiar with the basic purpose of traffic regulations, he said. ) Students plain similar courses in high schools in cities they represent. Those attending include: William A. Evans, director of safety education in Indianapolis public schools; Mrs. Jessie Henderson, Marion County safety director; Carl O. DeBard, physical education and health teacher of Evans- | ville. Central High School; Frank Overton, Kokomo physical education teacher; Harriet Pitman, Logansport; Chester Hill, Kokomo; Glen Bretz, Bloomington; Ralph Deetz, Bloomington, Ill.; Roger Lonien, Buffalo, N. Y.; LeRoy Heminger, Peru, and B. Hall, Toledo.

Keep Cars Clean

To Preserve Finish

Todd Stoops, Hoosier Motor Club secretary-manager, today advised motorists to keep their cars clean the year ‘round to avoid damage to the finish. “Too many motorists regard car washing as a useless expense dur"ing winter months because they become dirty so soon, due to slime thrown from the pavement,” he said. “Winter slime and dirt, if left on the car for long periods, is more injurious to the luster than summer mud. “Salt mixtures, which many cities use on streets during icy periods, is picked up with the mud and soon covers all surfaces of*the car. The salt soon ruins the finish. “The car owner should watch, however, that the auto laundry uses only cold or lukewarm water. Boiling water cuts the grease, but also cuts the wax finish protecting the paint. “The luster of a car may be protected in winter by a wax finish, and chromium-plated parts may be protected by a thin coat of vaseline after the car is washed.”

A. A. A. Advises Drivers On Oil Changing

Times Special NEW YORK, Feb. 18.—Motorists should be guided by recommendation of auto manufacturers on the question of changing oil, the " American Automebile Association advised today. The association’s statement follows an inquiry by its contest board into a conflict between auto manufacturers and the oil industry. Auto manufacturers’ recommendations for changing oil range from 1000 miles driving to 5000, or twice a year, whereas the oil industry has recommended changing every 1000 miles in summer and 500 miles in winter, the committee reported. “If the motorists can save money through less frequent changes of oil without danger tg their engines, as a result of improvement in construction and lubrication, they are entitled to it,” said Thomas P. Henry, Detroit, A. A. A. president.

Self-Sealing Tires Baffle Fugitive

AKRON, O.,. Feb. 18.—Puncturesealing tubes in the tires of a police car at Asheville, N. C., enabled officers to continue pursuit of ‘a fugitive who scattered nails behind him, according to a letter received by the B. F. Goodrich Co. here. After capturing the fugitive, the letter related, police found 54 nails in this car tires. The tires, however, it was said, had lost only three pounds each because of the selfsealing character of the tubes used.

New Radio Switch Adjusts Volume

Times Special DETROIT, Feb. 18. —A new radio switch which raises or lowers the radio volume and adjusts it to driving conditions now is a standard feature of the radio installation available for 1938 Oldsmobiles.

The device, operated by variation in air pressure created by the engine fan at different speeds, greatly reduces the need for manual adjustments, particularly on trunk highways, where the volume required to overcome sounds of high. speed operation proves too loud after the car slows for towns or halts at stop intersections.
