Signal lights are 'Increasing the
t . Vehicle capacity of streets and re
ducing the number of motor ac
cidents In the opinion of most of
55s thirty-six cities reporting to
va National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce in an - investigation
on this subject. I J'J
. Twentyntne of ' these "cities af
' firm the use of signal lights re
duces the number of accidents, two
believe that it does j not. and the
remainder make do comment .
Twenty-six report the adoption
of lights has made it possible 'to
Increase the. volnme' of (raffle "on
streets. Tire are of the opinion
that signal lighting is not' helpful
In this , regard, ever thoogh use
ful as a safety measure. -That im
prored regulation ts having ben
eficlent effects, seems, to ..be borne
out by the figures of motor fatal
ities for the first quarter which
. register a 4 per cent decrease for
- the same period a year ago." Jan
uary started oft as a high month
in comparison with 1925, due in
' , part perhaps to - differences in
; weather conditions. February and
v " March con rersely register -consid
eable reductions enough -to more
than offset the January increase,
Value of traffic signals, can be
fully realized only when the sup
port of the citizen Is given when
he Is on foot as "well as at the
I wheel, in the opinion of city offi-
. dais reporting on the signal light
situation.
"With the , adoption of these
lights." comments C. W. Trammel!
chief of police of Dallas, Texas,
"considerable Increase in the flow
of traffic was "noted due to the
uniformity, and regularity of op
eration; but six or. eight: months
p later, when f pedestrians - were
' brought undeis the same rules as,
.'vehicles, a material increase in
the flow of vehicular trarnc re-
- suited
"It is our observation that the
" signal light system has "greatly
i reduced accidents in the area in
which the have been installed,
particularly since the restrlctionV
.on pedestrians went into effect.'
- Successful operation of the pla
. toon system of vehicular regula-
" tion has been introduced in Wash
ington, D. C. , VV- -
"X- On 16 th street and on Masea
' cnusetts avenue it la ok possible
, to enter traffic' with-th reen
k lights and to continue without
. stopping due to the timing of the
lights.
I " 1t?CU EldHdge, director of traf-
i I fie: describes the situation and its
11 fects . as follows:
alrs.of twos on Sixteenth street
- and en Massachusetts avenue res
, nectively. That is, two blocks are
; gTeen. two red, two green, and so
; -on;;. The lights alternate as indi
' cated -above; thus permitlng one
to travel through the street at
; speed , of approximately twenty-
two -miles an hour during the' mid
dle of the day and about eighteen
miles an hour during ' the rush
hours and on rainy days without
stoppings
- The Sixteenth: street Installa
tion extends from H street to Flor
ida', avenue, or .about "a mile and
one-tblrd. During the middle of
the day this can be .made without
stopping in about three' and. one
half minutes. Before the liKhts
'.wer turned on, dwlngto the ne
cesslty of slowing down at many
-Intersections, it required - from
'five to six minutes to make' the
trip.1 between these two points on
- Sixteenth street.
. VThe effect of the lights, there
fore, has not only been to, improve
eafetv conditions on the street
but also to speed up traffic.
- ''During the two months before
'the' lights were turned on r there
"were fifty-one traffic accidents on.
; Sixteenth atreeC of which twelve
were ; personal ; Injuries nd one
. death. During January and Febru--arr.
since the lights have been in
operation. there- have been thirty
-. fhrft rrJdntji on ! i Sixteenth of
?which four rwere personal Injuries
' unrf - "- deaths. a reduction of
thirty-two per. cent. In accidents.'
: V There are at least three schools
of thought with regard to the use
-of .signals. The majority of opinion
finds them effective. The Wash
:- ing ton; D. Cy;ajrstem Introduces
"new possibilities. fThe third group
".oelieves that the future will see

OMlAtjlD SIX SPORT
ROADSTER IS LIKED
Snappy Little, Machine Has
Brisk- Sales . Records.
: Throughout Country .,
So successful has been the' sale
of the new Oakland Six Sport
roadster which was introduced
early in January that 1$ per cent
of the total Oakland production
for the first four and one-half
months this year has been devoted
to this one body style.. There are
six body types In the' Oakland line
and it is considered remarkable
for a sport roadster to reach such
a higbt proportion of total produc
tion. ' During 1925, the Oakland road
ster and sport roadster sales com
bined averaged approximately five
percent of-total Bales. Thus the
proportion of new sport roadster
production and sales so far this
year has been 200 per cent greater
than both these Devious cars av
eraged. last year. From January
through May 15, the production of
sport roadsters totalled 3,633 and
as the factory is still behind In or
ders these figures are synonymous
with sales. ' i . i .
7;' The sales of this car have' been
particularly brisk in the west and
soutff west, yet the large produc
tion has been due to the unexpect
edly large sales throughout. the
other sections of the country as
well. ; . . ....
This car is one of the most col
orful on the market, iwth body,
hood, and fenders In sharply con
trasting Mount Royal blue and El
Paso Tan Duco finish strikingly
set off by raised 'color mouldings.
The body is by Fisher, trim and
racy, with a sweeping, rear deck
that opens at a touch, revealing
a roomy, cushioned seat for two
addtional passengers.
The upholstery is in genuine
Spanish leather. Radiator shell.
head- and cowl lamps and wind-
shield side supports are bright
nickel, while a number of bright
aluminum- rails and supports for
the folded top are built on the
rear deck. A door on the right side
of the rear deck makes fo conven
ience in carrying golf clubks or
packages. -Decorative radiator cap
and inlaid .nickel door handles add
a touch of high light to a dashing
ensemble.

DETROIT, May 22.--One mll-
non automobiles a year, an ex
pansive program calling tor the
immediate expenditure of, $10.
000,000 In machinery, plant. equip-
uient ana nuiiaings. is the pro
gram, just announced here by W.
S. Knudsen, president and general
manager of the Chevrolet Motor
company.
Never before in. the history of
the ' Chevrolet company has such
a great expansion project been
undertaken, involving as it does
an increase of .more than thirty
per cent over present production
vpldme.
Btilding plans have been com
pleted, machinery ordered and by
June 1, the antual work will be
under headway with the comple
tion date set for January. 1, 127,
when an annual production sched
ule of. 1,000,000 cars and trucks
will be available, double the vol
ume of 1925.'
Under the "new program Chevro
let employes numbering 20.000
during full time operation, will be
increased proportionately.
Closed body production facili
ties under the new program, will
be Increased to an annual capcitj
of 750,000 which will constitute
76 per cent of total the Chevrolet
output.
According to President" Knud
sen 's announcement 60 per cent
of the $10,000,000 will be expend
ed In installing improved machin
ery and equipment of the most
modern type: The remaining $4,0-
000,000 will be spent in erecting
additions to the various manufac
turing plants operated by the com
pany throughout the United States
which at present are equipped to
produce 750,000 cars and trucks
a year.
The Chevrolet factories are at
present unable to meet the unpre
cedent demand for Chevrolet cars
and trucks and reports show the
factory production greatly over
sold. The building program to be
launched June 1 calls for addi
tions to seven of the company's
plants. These are located at De
troit, Flint and Bay City, Mich.;
Toledo, Ohio; Cincianati, Janes
ville, Wis.; and St. Louis, Mo.
Plans for "enlarging the Pacific
Coast Chevrolet plant at Oakland,
Califbrnla, have not been made
public but F. N. Coats. Pacific

turned to the coast a few days ago
carrying with his details of the
expansion - program for the coast
factory.
