'The feat of Commodore Harry
i. tireening, 01 Hamilton, unt., m
averaging 50.78 miles an hour for
24 hours with his mofbr boat.
Rainbow IV, October 3, breaking
all world's speed records on the
water, is one that would have been
impossible three years ago,' says
M. C. Dewitt, yice-president of the
IChampion Spark Plug company,
f whose spark plugs were used to
make the previous and the new
records. -
"I.tnprovements in design and
materials, including the use of
sillimanite in our product, made
this new record possible.
"Nearly three hours before the
end of the 24-hour run, on Lake'
Rosseau, one of the Muskoka
group, north of Toronto, Com
modore Greening's little boat had
surpassed the previous record of
10C4 miles," made by Rainbow
III. This time, due to the smooth
ness and power shows by hia en
gine and spark plugs, he exceeded
taUpwn optimistic estimate by
more than Ztf miles, corering
1218.879 miles.
The run was convincing to any
one who doubts the- stu-diness of
a motor speed boat and the ability
of engine and spark plugs to with
stand such gruelling punishment
as was inflicted upon them,' con
tinued Mr. Dewitt. "With an aver
age of 50.7S miles an hour. Com
modore Greening's Liberty 12 cyl

The first comprehensive
ernized traffic ordinance adopted
it. an. American city was fclren to
Los Angeles, ;., iy it- troTHe
comminsion, of which Paul G.
Hoffman was president and Dr.
Miller McCliniock was expert.
When Mr. Hoffman went to
South Bend, Ind., as vice president
ot the Studebaker Corporation of
merica. he interested A. R. Ers
kine, president of that corporation,
in the problem of relieving traffic
congestion and lessening automo
bile fatalities. Mr. Erskine sent
for Dr. McCIintock and went over
he expert's researches.
As a result, the University of
California has announced the crea
tion of the Albert Russel Erskine
bureau for Street Traffic Research
established through a grant of the
Studebaker corporation.
In offering to the univprslty this
bureau, Mr. Hoffman wrote:
"The Studebaker Corporation of
America, realizing the pressing
character of the sir ret traffic prob
lem and the need for collection of
scientific information on the sub
ject, desires to offer funds for the
creation of a researen bureau and
graduate fellowships in the Uni
versity of California."
Mr. Erskine commented on the
offer.
"Much of the failure of Ameri
can cities to deal effectively with
street traffic may be attributed to
lack of technical information.
Traffic is an engineering problem.
It can be controlled satisfactorily
only by sound engineering meth
ods. "With this principle in mind,
we have offered to cooperate with
a great university, to make a con
structive contribution to a problem
vitally affecting the utility and
safety of automotive transporta
tion."
The bureau will be in charge of
Dr. McCIintock, who formerly was
connected with the government re
search bureau in Harvard univer
sity, and who is known widely as
a traffic engineer. He is author
of "Street Traffic Control" and
"The Los Angeles Traffic Code.
Located in the southern branch
of the University of California, at
Los Angeles, the bureau will limit
its study to urban traffic difficil
ties and their correction. Pedes
trian control, conflicts between
street cars and motor cars, park
ing methods, speed, street design,
g.ade separation, signalling 'de
vices, uniform regulations and al
lied subjects will be studied. Its
reports will be available for all
American cities.
The two fellowships created will
pay $1,000 a yecr each to graduate
engineering students of the uni
versity, to encourage traffic con
trol s an engineering profession
and to develop intensive research.

Xew Sidewalks?
Last week there was published
in The Enterprise a letter from
the office of Oscar Hayter giving
an opinion as to the legal proceed
ings necessary to enforce sidewalk
done at the request of the Falls
City Commercial club, for the in
formation of the public, so they
r. ay take whatever action, they
desire toward enforcing the repair
of sidewalks, or repairing or
building, npon their own property,
without compelling action on the
part of the city. There is much
said about the poor walks. GetH
ting them fixfcd is an expensive
p:opositton. Of course the city
can do these' things, but at the
expense of several months' time
and the expenditure of consider
tble public money, and. possibly,
at the end. placing the entire bur
den upon the city where the o n-
(rs ftf property not very valuable
let it ro and force the city to ac
quire title in the end. This is
absolutely, up to the taxpayers. If
they demand action of this nature
the city can act. If so, will the
taxpayers be satisfied with this
use of their taxes? "They," when
ve use the word in the sense it i
generally ustd in referring to
thete things means "us" instead.
for whatever "they" do with pub-
He funds is paid for by each one t
ot us just in proportion as we py
taxes. The next city election is I
not far off. Do the people want a
referendum on this and express
themselves at the polls? That is
wheie an expression enn be count
el1, not in street corner talk.

END OF TRAIL REACHED
riXIE HIGHWAY MOTORCADE
DRIVERS ARE ELATED
"The tenth anniversary tour of
the Dixie highway is over, but its
benefits will continue for years."
These were th words of Capt. W.
S. Gilbreath. grand marshal, as h
alighted from his Chrysler six pi
lot car in. Jacksonville, Fla., after
a 10-day drive from Sauite Ste.
Marie.
"Judging from the enthusiastic
receptions extended us all the way
from the Soo," continued Captain
Gilbreath. "this tour has awaken
ed undying interest in the Dixie
highway, the first improved.
through motor route from the
north to the south."
A fine tribute was also paid to
the Chrysler six roadster.
"To quote Captain Gilbreath,
"The car performed wonderfully.
As leader of the caravan it set the
pace and none passed it. It was
the center of attraction every
where, and elicited thousands of
Inquiries. I could not ask for bet
ter performance from any car. The
trip was a constant grind but driv
ing was. a delight."
In Chattanooga, the national
headquarters of the Dixie Highway
association the motorcade was wel
comed by 10.000 people and es
corted into the city by city offi
cials, the fire and police depart
I ments and a detachment of "U. S.
cavalry. In the evening a mam
moth banquet was held in honor of
the event. Similar cele&rations
were held in Rome, Atlanta and
Macon.
