H. Cameron of the national safety council. - ."Automotive engineers are-constantly Improving automobile brakes, lights, bumper, wlnd ahiekls. tall signals, fenders, body construction;" he says, "but the ve btcle remain a potentially danger ous Instrument.

There will be a representative showing of the very ltittutt models In inotordom. Another feature of the show Is a fashion revue with graceful mannequin poking In the Iutant vreailona of feminine apparel from the offerings of local shops and stores. In addition to this entertainment tho "Motor Follies' will be staged in a merry melange of musical aVti. vaudeville specialties und dancing j acts. Novak's Vaudettes, artists In harmonies, round out an ensemble of players that will prove to be an udded lure to the jlisplay of the best that molordom can turn out In tho lines of Automobiles, motive Industry Is strongly behina the national safety movement and It Is not the fault of the manufac turers that Occident are caused by reckless drivers und pedestrians, who will not stop, look and listeu before proceeding to cross the street. "Equal rights to the Mr It ways are possessed by motorisu unti pedestrians.' But the trouble is that while we ore pedstriam we are inclined to blame motor ists" -for carelessness and vice versa when-we are In a car, We must realize that there have to be certain places .and certnlu times when the driver has the paaaport to the highway and also other places and times when the right of way belongs to the pedestrian. Intelligent traffic regulation is the need of the hour. To dale -efforts to regulate traffic have not met with universal suc cess. Today numerous organiza tions, committees and authori ties are giving much of their time and funds to studving and prescribing methods of traffi. control. ors are well worth while and some constructive results should follow the various activitt Overhauling of Autos . ; Not Practiced of Late f "There la very little overhauling any more," said a man who ha.i had wide experience in the auto mobile repair business the other day. "You take the average pas senger car today. It la run one or two years say ton to fifteen thou sand miles1 and then turned in as a trade on a new one. The dealer tightens it up, touches up the blemishes and sells it as quickly possible for what it will bring. Thea .it rutin along, maybe another five thousands miles, and then the cyl inders may be rebored, it is n pretty good car-in most respects, bearing renewed anJ all loose parts again tightened up. It la then run, by one or two other ownors. for two or three years more, when It is com pletely 'shot." 'And this being very largely true, for reasons beyond the power oi any individual to control.

Aions witn tnis necessity comes the need of Increased vigilance in keeping a watchful eye on traffic coming up in the rear. . Perhaps no device for automo biles has combined to degree, the elements of safety and convenience as the rear view mir ror. Its efficiency is even more ap preciated after a person has driven a car equipped with a mir ror and then one not so equipped. The most popular mirror la fastened over the windshield and enables the driver to obtain a clear view of the road for a long distance lo the rear at a glance, and with periect ease and safety. 4- "fading" Borrowed from Myitic Realm of Radio Recently a new term "fading;" made its appearance In automobile merchandising literature. As applied to motoring, fadlnn refers to the little Interruptions to service, the development of irregu. larlties which sends one to the service nation and which, the automobile expert points out.
