Magistrates are constantly faced with the fact that quite a large proportion of violators do not have s proper understanding of traf fic regulations, or causes of acci dents, or of the principles of safe driving. "Oenerally. violator turned over to the school are Juveniles or per sons whose Infraction of regulations has not heen serious enough to war rant a severe penalty, decision In tuts matter being left to the dis cretion of the Judge. "Violators In many cases are com pelled to attend night school by the simple leflnl expedient of passing sen tence and then paroling the violator until he has been 'graduated' from the trarflo school. In some Instances, the driving prlvllrges of youthful offendera are taken away until the school's course has been successfully completed. . "Most schools bold their sessions In the evening, once or twice a week, with courses ranging from one to atx sessions. 4 "Subjects covered Include: Cause and prevention of accidents; traffic regulations; enforcement; proper car care from a safety standpoint and safe driving practices. Examinations on these subjects are given regu larly nnd some schools requtre a good mark on test papers before re leasing the violator.

Grcnm Six Proves Economy in Tests An ordinary frulf glass Jar plays an Important part In the gasoline economy tests conducted by engi neer, of the Graham-Paige Motora corporation to determine the ' fuel economy of the Graham Six, the latest contender In the loweat price range. The Jar la attached to the In strument panel of the car and is connected by a tube to the fuel pump. It contains one quart of goso. line and Is In full view of the driver. Thus, the quart of gasoline Is messured against the speedometer reading to determine exactly the mileage obtained. The results of these test proven to be startling, showing 34 miles to a gallon at 38 miles sn hour and 20.4 mllea at 60 miles an hour. These teats were msde In cold wea ther at average winter temperntures. It was Indicated that the results would be Improved considerably In warm weather. Robert C. Graham, executive vice- president of Graham Paige, an nounced that all Grshsm dealers will he given an opportunity to pro- , cure this testing equipment which , will ennhle them to demonstrate the ' exceptions! gnsollne economy of the new Oreham Six.

J' at v.Jt T y, Af J 9 5 i fr In the Hudson and Terraplane sedans for 1935 tho window regulator lor the rear-quarter window has been placed above tha glass instead of below it. As a result, the regulator is out of the way and does not tend to reduce the width of the rear seat as happens when the regulator is placed below the glass. Throughout the entire car every pre caution possible has been taken to give the passengers as much clear free space as possible. In the front compartment when the Electric Hand is employed there is no gearshift lever to interfere with the center passenger of the three- passenger front seat The emergency or hand brake lever has also been taken away and placed beneath the cowl where it is accessible to tha left hand of the driver. Thus, there is nothing in tha way of the two passengers in tha front scat The rear seat has been widened eoa siderably over the last year's dimen sions. Jn addition, tha upholstery has been so designed that the passenger has full advantage of the increased width. Placing the window regulator above the glass Is one of the examples of the thoughtfulness of the Hudson snd Terraplane engineers when it comes to roominess. SEASON FORECAST DETROIT Steadily Increasing new car sales and the unparalleled de mand for models with built-in trunks on the roar, presage a rocord-break- ing touring season this year. In the opinion of H. Q. Moock. vice presi dent of the-Plymouth Motor Corpor- a Mont Mr. Moock voiced the opinion to- dny, as he stood at one end of the half-mile long Plymouth factory here watching new cars roll off the final assembly lines at the rate of three a minute. Almoat every other cur com ing off the linos Is a trunk model. "The coming summer and fall probably will see more tourists on American highways than any other touring season," he Bald. "The lure of the open road Is upon us this year more than ever. Motorists have etny ed pretty close to their homes dur ing the past few years, but this year things- are different. People have more money to spend; they foel more secure In their Jobs; the uncertainty Is disappearing. "Everybody Is planning a vacation this year and Judging from the de mand for new cars, almost everybody Intends to travel. Naturally, better cars and Improved highways have stimulated this urge to go places and see things." Mr. Moock pointed out thnt Ply mouth sales have increased every week this year over the correpond- lnk weeps of last year. He said with This week we will discuss and compare another one of the foreign cars with ths American version- This car Is known as the Mercedes-Bens type 300. The only car which I have been able to find with which It could be reasonably compared Is the Standard Chevrolet. These two cars have approximately the same wheel- bases, hut the overall height of the Mercedes la only rive feet two Inches, which means that this car Is around two inches wider than it Is high. In the Mercedes you have a choic of two bodies while In the com parable American car you have five different models to choose from. An item which aeems strange to us Is that the Mercedes has only horsepower while some of the lowest 1 priced cars In America have as much as 85 or 90. This small Oerman car has a top speed of better than 70 miles per hour, however, and It gets from 31 to 29 miles to the gallon of gas. This car also has all four wheels Independently sprung, which Is a feature you do not find on any car In America, with the exception of the transverse springs on the Ford. Standard equipment on this car In cludes s built tn trunk, remote con trol rear window curtain, ash trays, ctgar lighter, dual windshield wipers, special Jack mounts, electric direc tion Indicators and bumpers front and rear. The two body models of fered are a four-door aedan with built In trunk, and a four seater. convertable cabriolet, with built-in trunk. The aedan model Is extremely conservative In Its lines, and we are afraid It would not receive much recognition here in America, but the convertable model Is very gocd looking and can compare very fa vorably with the average American car. the first signs of spring retail deliv eries showed a sharp upward trend. "Plymouth retail deliveries for the week ending March 16 reached a total of 7.973 units,"' he said. "This was a gain of B.3 per cent over the previous week and 13.9 per cent over the same weeks of 1934. In the first 11 weeks this year, our dealers sold 69,273 new Plymouths, an Increase of 65.4 per cent over the 41.873 units they de livered at retail during the same period a year ago." APPLE EXPORTS OF STATE INCREASED PORTLAND, Ore., March 30. (AP) Portland's lumber and apple exports for March were well above those for March, 1934, the merchants' exchange reported today. Lumber exports were 19.281.960 feet valued at $296,473, more than 5.000. 000 feet In excess of last year's March exports and 3,000.000 more than ex ports for February of this year. Apple shipments were 84.537 boxes, nenrly 20.000 boxes more than in March, 1934. However, apple ship ments were less than In February, which practically closed the apple shlpptng wa&on. Wheat shipments remained incon sequential, only 833 bushels leaving the port. General cargo exported during Mrch was valued at S739.792, com pared with 91,324.039 during February and $751,647 during March, 1934. Kodak Developing and Pritning at Elliott's, 116 N.
