Movement Launched to Pro

WASHINGTON, D. C. June 23.
The movement recently started
by the American Automobile as
sociation (or a higher standard of
hospital treatment for the victims
of automobile accidents received
today the whole-hearted indorse
ment of the American College of
Surgeons.
The Indorsement of the College
of Surgeons, which consists of
8.000 of the leading surgeons of
the United States. Canada and La

lege, to Thos. P. Henry president
of the American Automobile asso
ciation. Dr. Martin pointed out that the
Interest of the world's largest mo
tor federation In the question of
"safety afterwarda" would mater
ially aid in mobilising public sen
timent around what the College
of Surgeons Is doing to put into
effect "a minimum standard of ef
ficiency with which all hospitals
and surgeons should comply.
He suggested that the A.A.A.
utilize for the information of mo
torists the list of hospitals in the
United States and Canada approv
ed by the College of Surgeon
This list includes over 90 per cent
of the hospitals In the United
States and Canada with a capacity
of 100 beds or over,
Dr. Martin's letter to President
Henry follows:
"My attention has been drawn
to a recent article in the public
press, entitled Better Care of Au
to Victims, wherein the . Interest
of your great organization in the
treatment of the Injured is ex
pressed. Inpemuch as you have
cited the findings of our Research
Group of the Board on Traumatic
Surgery, and as our college is ac
tively engaged on this very sub
ject of Improvement in the, care
of the Injured, It seems appropri
ate to make a brief statement con-
j, cerning the college, and its aim in
this particular direction.
"The American College of Sur-
t geons is4 an organization of over
-1 8.000 of the leading surgeons of
the United States, Canada and La-
f tin America. Their organized ef-j
fort to improve bcepitals and sur-
t gical service was begun over 10
years ago. Their initial step was
: ' the formulation of a minimum
r standard of efficiency with which
i all hospitals and surgeons should
comply. Over 90 per cent of all
i hospitals in the United States and
- Canada, with a capacity of 100
I beds' and over, are now comply-
lrtT with this minimum standard
- and are upon the approved list of
I the college; and a constantly ln-
cising number of the smaller
- hospitals are complying and are
approved as rapidly as the facts
Justify. ,In brief summary, the
'practical results which are rec
ognized over the entire J ho:
? world are:
"a. The shortening of the aver
. age days stay of patients in hos-
, pitals
"b. The lowering of the hcfpital
deith rate
"c. The elimination of unneces
sary and incompetent surgery.
"Many of the changed condi
tions In our modern, high-geared
i Ufe, center around motor cars. The
frequency of accidents requiring
emergency treatment is increas
jf. fng. and many of these are In our
. rural districts. In many instances
i for want of immediate adequate
hospital ard surgiral service, on
J dne disabilities and deatbn result
The American College of Surgeons
is taking the "lead in providing
' ethical and scientific hospital and
surgical service for those meeting
with accidents of any nature, and
, ao far as Is possible regardless of
locality.
i "The better minds in aurgery
are being brought to bear upon
t this subject and the best approv
f ed modern . methods of treatment
: are being introduced into the hos-
i pitals, and a knowledge of them
: disseminated throughout the sur
gical profession. Medical schools
; are being Induced to place more
y emphasis. In the education of their
I students, upon the treatment of
; the injured.
"The American Railway aesoct
atlon has Instructed their sur
geons to utilize the hospitals ap
proved by the American College of
Surgeons where practicable. For
the same reasons might It not be
advantageous if you should util
ize the approved list of hospitals
In the United States and Canada
for the information of your tour
ists. "With full appreciation of your
valuable co-operation in eervice

Group of Research Scientists
Have Worked Five Years
on Improvement
WASHINGTON (AP) Few
of the motorists who drive up to
a filling station lor "five gallons
of gas" know that behind the
scenes in Washington a little
group of research scientists has
been working for five years to give
them better fuel and more effl
clent motor performance.
Oil refiners desire to produce
improved motor fuel and automo
bile engine manufacturers endea
vor to utilize most effectively the
available gasolines. With these ob
jects in view, the American Petro
leum Institute and the National
Automobile chamber of commerce,
through the society of Automotive
Engineer, have been cooperating
with the bureau of Standards In
joint research program. The
work Is still under way, and only

of fuel volatility, engine
acceleration and measurement of
anti-knock value. '
Since gasolines are mixtures df
hydrocarbons, rather than definite
compounds, like benslne or alcohol.
they hare boiling ranges father
than boiling points and are identi
fied by means of - distillation
curves which show the tempera
tures required to vaporize defin
ite amount under specified con
ditions. These temperatures are
much better than those required
to vaporize the same gasolines
when mixed with air ln the auto
mobile engine manifold. The re
search staff first devised appara
tus for vaporizing gasoline under
engine conditions, and aa a result
of measurements on a wide var
iety of fuels with this equipment
has found that the desired vola
tility data can be computed from
the usual llatlllatlon curves.
A novel accelerometer, capable
of recording the effect on engine
speed of individual explosions, is
being used to find the relative In
fluence of temperature and fnel
volatility on the acceleration per
formance of a typical passenger
car engine.
Although the tendency of mo
tor fuel to knock, or deonate, con
cerns the motorist as much as its
volatility, no simple laboratory
test for anti-knock value has yet
been discovered. Actual engine
teste are required at present, and
the immediate objective is the de
velopment and general adoption
of a suitable standard test equipment.
DEMO CREASES

Production Speeded Up to
Fill Orders; Unusual High
Performance
Production of the new Willys-
Knight Standard Six line of motor
cars has been speeded up mater
ially during the past few weeks
and will be continued at high pro
duction, according to officials of
the Willys-Overland company.
This has been necessitated by a
continually growing demand for;
these Knight englned sixes which
round out th company's croup of
Willys-Knight cars.
The Willys-Knight Standard six
made its appearance a few months
axo and immediately won a con
spicuous position among the sixes
In its price classification. After
hundreds of these models had been
placed in the hands of owners.
there was a noticeable increase in
the demand for the Standard Six
which Willys-Overland merchants
attribute to the outstanding per
formance of the car, together with
its introduction ln the lowest price
range ever reached by a Willys-
Knight car.
In power and speed accomplish
ments the Willys-Knight Standard
Six Is said to set a new high atan-
a parity with the Willys-Knight
sleeve valve engines employed in
the tw ohigher priced aeries of
Willys-Knight sixes. e-
The Standard Six ln nearjf ev
ery respect retains the same char
acteristics of design, performance
and appearance as featured In the
Wlllys-Knight special six and the
Great Six. and gives the company
complete coverage la the Willys
Knight disvislon.
This Knight englned model is
marked by smart body lines with
numerous innovations ln interior
appointments. The rich upholstery
employed ln the Standard Six
blends perfectly with the striking
color combinations of the exterior.

Often Seenhut Seldom Bossed
, Many times on many highways
you will glimpse the red Indian
head that identifies a Pontiac Six
from the rear. Sometime you will
find a man at the wheel who shows
that he's headed for distant points.
Follow him hour after hour, all
day long. Follow him, that is, if
your car wUl stand the pace.
When you do you will witness a
marvelous exhibition of high
speed endurance. You will see
the Pontiac Six reeling off the
miles, topping the hills with ease,
sprinting past car after car. And
if you can have it checked from
radiator to fail-light at its destina
tion, you will find It none tho
worse for hard driving, no matter
how strenuous the trip.
The Pontiac Six is built for just
such a test as that. That's why
it's often seen on the road but
very seldom passed!
