OF INTEREST TO MOTORISTS
AUTfIISTS WAN! CONGRESS
TO PASS THE ADAMSON BILL
Measure Would Not Require Taking
Out of An Additional License When
Machine Is Operated in An An
other State
Congress now will be asUed by a mil
lion and a lialf of motor car users to
pass the Adamson measure. Tho
American Automobile Association, lias
taken the matter in hand, and Presi
dent John A. Wilson will confer in
Washington with Representative Wil
liam C. Adamson. of Georgia, chairman
of the Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce, and the author of a
commonsense measure concisely set
forth in the following extract:
"No person who shall have qualified
by complying with the laws and regula
tions of the state, territory or district
of his residence to use and operate such
vehicle or vehicles shall be required in
any other state or territory or district
into which he may go for business or
pleasure to make any additional reg
istration or take out any additional
license in order to use and operate
any such machine."
For some time the Adamson measure
has rested in committee awaiting a de
cision by the United States Supreme
Court on what has been known as the
"Maryland Case," wherein » resident
of the District of Columbia contended
that he had the same right as any
other vehicle owner to the use of Mary
land roads as long as he had provided
himself with au identification number
from his home district, and thus made
it possible to apprehend him in case he
violated any of the highway laws of
the commonwealth.
But in the decision rendered bv the
highest court in the land, written by
Justice Mcßeynolds and concurred in
by all the justices, it is held that in

**— j
the absence of a national law a state
luis a perfect right to enact whatever
laws it may see fit in relation to tho
automobile. Furthermore Justice Mc-
Revnolds holds that "the movement of
motor vehicles over the highways is
attended by constant and serious
danger to the public, and is also ab
normally destructive to the highway
itself." Further on the Justice states:
"In the absence of national legislation
covering the subject, a state may right
fully proscribe uniform regulations
necessary for public safety and order
in respect to the operation upon its
highways of all motor vehicles—those
moving in interstate commerce as well
as others."
President Wilson, of the A. A. A.,
commentirg upon the situation, says:
"The inference of the highest court
that there should be a national law
covering the subject should prompt our
immediate attention to the matter, for
it is certainly a most unusual situa
tion when a citizen of tho United
States is not free to travel in any sec
tion of the country after he has pro
vided himself with an identification
number from his home state. The Euro
pean countries, with different, lan
guages and different customs, have
agreed upon an international plate of
identity, and also an international
triptyque relating to customs duties.
For instance, a motorist of France after
having obtained a home number —
which incidentally allows him to op
erate a car ju any part of France—
then obtains "in his own country an
international plate which is acceptable
in practically every other country in
Europe, and he can cross and re-cross
international boundary lines without
i any trouble whatever. Surely if Kuro
j pean countries can agree in a matter
j of this sort, it does not seem reason
able that the several states of the
t'nion and the Capital district of the
, country should bo unable to provide
| for free and uninterrupted roads travel.
It is now generally recognized that a
j state must provide sturdier rond con
struction because of the multiplying of
i a taster and more economical road ve
hicle. With a logical plan of federal
participation with the several states a
large percentage ot highways expense
of an interstate character properly
i would be transferred to the national
| government."—Adv.*

"The temperature of tho water with-! i

' and 170 degrees, if the engine is to ]
give tho best results," declares George (
U. McFarlnnd, president and general,,
1 maoiager of tho Hurris'burg Automobile ;
| Company.
: "Any great deviation from this tem
perature ranige will produce a very
I marked effect the gasoline con
sunn>tion as well as the power of the;
: engine. Tho proper degree of heat is
as essential in the economic operation
! of a gas engine as it is in the produc
tion of steam for a steam engine. The I
\ gasoline now beingftold will not evapo
; rate at temperatures lower than live,
; degrees above zero unless heat is ap
plied, and if tho prosper temperature is i
\ not maintained in the cylinders, the j
j comtoustion of the fuel is incomplete,
j The grades of gasoline have gradually
j 'become lowor, ajid tjie proiblonn of maiu
j taiuing the best workinig temperature
! has increased correspondingly.
I "The effect of a low motor tempera-
I ture is 'best demonstrated on a steep
| hill. With the moter temperature down
I to about 90 degrees, it is very prv>b
[ alble that tho hill c-annot be taken on 1
, high gear, though if the temperature is
: brought up to at least 150 degrees, the
hill eouM bo taken on high with ease.!
The radiator or cooling surface must
fee designed to take care of the most
extreme conditions in hot weather, to!
eliminate any possibility of overheat- f
ing. There is an atmospheric tempera !
i ture range of from 70 decrees in the
! Sknith to 1 40 degrees in the North and j
] west sections of the country, so that <
J iK is not reasonable to expect the cool
\ ing system to retain the desired heat at!
■ j the other extreme of zero temperature.!
"The most practical method ot\
I maintaining the proper motor tempera
ture is to use some sort of temperature
: indicating device in tho radiator and.
then cover up a part of the radiator ;
accordingly. This is a very simple ex
pedient and effects ■wonderful results. I
The water will remain at a much high :
or temperature, and more power will be \
developed. As a matter of fact, a ther- j
I moineter placed in the radiator of most!
| cars when operating in a temperature]
near zero will indicate less than 90 de
-1 grees. Tho gasoline engine is a heat
| engine, and its power depends upon the
expansion of the gases formed during
the combustion of the mixture of
line and air."—Adv.*

gallons of oil at a cost of $2.40 making
a total cost for fuel of $13.34. His
repair bill for the year amounted to
$2.2-5. This makes Vliet's total expense
for the 3,399 miles, $15.59. or at an
