Four Chrysler Airflow wi ' now
taurine the country giving demon
strations of the fflclency of the
Goodyear Llfeauard tube In pre
venting serious consequences when
tire U blown out or otherwise sud
denly deflated. The Airflow wss
considered an Ideal car on which to
demonstrate thl new ssfety leature
because 1U design incorporates so
many other safety features.
In the first place, the Airflow has
an integral body and frame con
struction In which the passengers
are completely surrounded by the
tram Instead of riding on It. They
are In effect placed within a box
made of steel girders extending from
front bumper to tail light. Scientific
weight distribution, a low center of
gravity and perfect balance also con
tribute to the Airflow's safety. The
car is equipped with Chrysler's time
tested hydrauUo brakes and with
safety glass throughout. With the
UfeOuard tubs, It baa a fourth great
safety factor to add to Its staunch
steel body, perfect brakes and non
shatterable glass.
The UfeOuard la In effect a tire
within tire. When the outer cas
ing Is punctured so that the air
escapes Instantly from the regular
tube, the UfeOuard or Inner tire re
tains Us pressure long enough to en
able the driver to bring the ear to
a smooth, safe stop, no matter at
what speed he might have been trav
eling when the deflation occurred.
The ear retains its balance end Its
steering ability despite the puncture.
In fact, the driver hardly Is conscious
of any difference In the way it re
sponds to the wheel.
In the demonstratlona now being
given, tires are blown out by means
of dynamite caps and sharp Knives
or spokes placed on the roadway.
Testa are made at speeds of aa high
as 85 miles an hour, which would
mean a serious accident in many
eases if ordinary tubes were used.
With UfeOuards, however, the worst
blowout becomes no more serious
thsn a alow leak and the car Is easily
brought to a stop even on the nar
rowest road. j
These tests are being conducted in
conjunction with the police depart
menu of the vajloua cities visited.

IN SAFETY EFFORT,
With traffic haurda - Increased
throughout the country during warm
weather month due to a larger num
ber of vehicle on American highways,
D. E. Ralston, general sales manager
of Oldamobtle, emphasizes the Im
portance to the motorist of keeping
bis car In the best possible running
condition.
"If the average motorist would do
all In his power to maintain bis car In
the condition It was furnished by the
manufacturer, we would see a, level
ing of the accident curve which al
ways rises at this time of year," Mr.
Ralston points out.
"Automobile manufacturers for a
number of years heve done all In their
power to provide cars that are as safe
as possible; that la why today we have
safety glass, super-hydraulic brakes,
better visibility and lighting facili
ties; Unisteel Turret Top bodies, and
other features designed to promote
safety.
These features are largely wasted,
however, unless they are properly
looked after by the driver. And the
driver's mental condition, logically
enough, is Just tut Important a sa-fety
feature as the many mechanical de
velopments Introduced by car manu
facturers." Mr. Ralston explains that only a
very small percentage of serious acci
dents have been traced by police of
ficials to mechanical failure of ve
hicles, whereas a larger number have
been directly traceable to driver neg
ligence, either at the time of an ac
cident or in not keeping his car in
the best possible running order.

are of no use to a driver unless he
applies those brakes in time," Mr.
Ralston admonishes, "Likewise those
brakes are of no use to the driver if
he allowed them to become unequal
or otherwise out of adjustment or
repair."
Good braking facilities often are
Impaired by worn tires or worn brake
linings. Likewise a burned out head
lamp often is the cause of a collision.
A windshield wiper that worked when
the car left the factory Is no good If
it is allowed to fall Into disuse
through negligence. Car windows de
signed for increased visibility are no
good if cluttered with stickers or mud
and grease spots. A safe steering
mechanism improperly adjusted ' or
not properly tightened becomes less
safe.
Manufacturers have done and are
doing all in their power to provide
the public with safe transportation
facilities, Mr. Ralston concludes. Un
less safe and conscientious motorists
mske the proper use of these modern
vehicles, however, the manufacturer's
efforts will be' largely wasted.
"Now la the time of the year for
every car owner to look to his car,
to see that It is in the best possible
running condition. Nat only will this
provide him a safer automobile but
it will in many Instances save lives
and future hospital and repair bills."

WASHINGTON, July 24. (AP) A
senate outlook weakened today for
the passing crop control legislation
before congress adjourns.
Chairman Smith (D., 8. C.) of the
senate agriculture commtttee said:
"I don't anticipate any general
farm legislation at this session. I've
been In the senate 80 years, and
we have passed some legislation for
the farmer every year and we all
know what It has amounted to."
