But despite this interest, the document sticks to its main
theme which is that high-speed motoring throws an undue
strain on the pocketbook.
Automobile operating costs may be roughly divided into
the cost of gasoline, oil, tires and repairs and all four are given
factual treatment.
Tests on 13 different makes of cars costing less than
$1,000 show that a car which does 20 miles per gallon at 20
miles per hour drops to 16.5 miles per gallon at 45 miles per
hour and to less than 11 miles per gallon at 70. Thus gasoline
costs nearly double at high speeds.
The figures on oil consumption are even worse. "More
than 600,000 calculations, involving 13 makes of cars, running
9,000 miles each over a period of 24 days showed that, on the
average, you can expect to use nearly seven times as much
oil at 55 miles per hour as at 30."
In discussing the cost of repairs, the booklet comments:
"Haste also makes carbon. This is due to the excessive suc
tion of oil into the cylinders. Speed burns oil but it leaves
carbon in the cylinders. This explains why the extra cost of
repairs starts at 41/2 cents per mile at 40 miles per hour and
gradually increases to 5i/2 cents per mile at 70 miles per hour."
Turning to tires, the experts assert that the tire spend
thrift pays two penalties. One is higher cost and the other is
the sacrifice of safety. Tests made on 30 cars of the same make
and model and using the same make of tire showed that five
high-speed drivers used up their tires in from 7,500 to 9,400
miles. The winning five turned in mileages running from
20,700 to 27,600.
The real answer to tire saving is to avoid quick stops as
well as high speeds. Both wear out tire treads and excessive
speed often makes it necessary to throw a strain On the tires
to stop in time to avoid trouble.
One stop, if the situation is desperate enough, may prac
tically ruin any tire, the booklet observing that after a recent
accident it was found that a 200-foot slide on a gritty road
had removed two-thirds of the treads on all four tires on the
car.
The moral is contained in the single sentence: "Even if it
were safe, speed costs more than it ever could be worth in terms
of seconds saved."
And everyone knows that it isn't safe.
Consumer May Benefit
Railroads, granted a small rate increase by the Interstate
Commerce commission and expecting another, are jubilant and
foresee a sharp increase in their expenditures for 1938.
Higher freight tariffs have bolstered railroad securities
and will make it possible for the big carriers to obtain new cap
ital on favorable terms. The outlook now, according to leaders
in the field, is for an upturn in freight volume early in 1938
and this will be a further help to them.
It is sincerely to be hoped that any additional money spent
by the railroads will have, as a long-time objective, reduction
of the very freight rates which will make these expenditures
possible. One of the difficulties with American business is
the high cost of overland transportation.
This year, for example, there were bumper crops of apples,
grapefruit, pears, orangeB, melons and potatoes. The result
has been a glut of the market in the areas where these items
are produced, with attendant ruinous prices to the grower. At
the same time prices have been plenty high to the consumers
in other sections of the country and high freight rates have
played an important role in creating the difference between
what the producer gets and what the consumer pays.
The means for reducing the cost of transportation are at
hand if the railroads can find opportunity to apply them. In
addition to such things as improving grades and making freight
cars of lighter and stronger materials, the ordinary bearings
now in common use will be replaced with roller bearings which
will make it easier for engines to start and keep in motion much
longer trains than now are in use.
If it seems undesirable to have longer trains—or if re
strictive bills are passed to halt this development—smaller
engines can be used to do the same work.
The tendency has been toward better use of the equipment
available and higher speeds for freight trains. This will be
accelerated by new equipment.
Thus, if the railroads use their new resources to improve
their service and reduce operating costs the result will be, in
the end, a benefit to the consuming public which now must pay
these heavier freight bills.

The Auto Speed Tax
One of the most interesting little documents to reach the
public in recent weeks is issued by an insurance company ant
titled, "Are You Paying a Speed Tax?"
It discusses, for the benefit of all interested—and that
should include every motorist—the additional costs created by
the operation of automobiles above certain low speeds.
The main object of the booklet, of course, is to reduce
speed on the highways and thus cut the death rate from motor
accidents, although that isn't stressed in the document. The
reason for the insurance company's interest is obvious. I:
fewer persons are killed the company will have to pay fewer
death claims and more policy holders will be left to pay
premiums.

Three times in the last month,
treasury officials said Thursday,
some banks have loaned the gov

The amounts have been small, but
the opportunity almost unpreced
ented. Officials attributed It to
the more than 91,000,000,000 of
lendable money accumulated in
the banks. Rather than spend
money to store and protect Idle
funds, some banks are willing to
lend them to the government for
short periods for nothing.

NO ODDER HOUSE
Mid-West reader cant see how a large family could exist without a dill*
ing room. When he builds his home he will plan it so that bedroom window
will not face the head of the bed. He believes there should be a law prohibit
ing white or cream colored or semi-translucent window shades opposite beds.
Some years ago he noticed a small hard spot on the eyeball. A doctor wtoo
examined him said it should be cut out. But about that time he found it Im
possible to sleep In a room where light came through the windows upon his
eyes. He began wearing a dark mask over his eyes, and that enabled him to
sleep well. The spot on the eyeball disappeared too. CS. S.)
Why not give more space to the living room, and in one end of the large
room have a table large enough for all the family? The table would serve as
a library table, or maybe a billiard table or a tennis table nine-tenths of the
time when it is not in use for dining. A dining room in a modern house is as
essential as a whip socket in an automobile.
Eastern reader proposes a roof that slides or rolls back to provide a space
at least 8 by 8 feet open to the sky, for sun bathng in the privacy of the home.
Now that, I think, Is an excellent idea. If more people could enjoy more ex
posure of the naked body to sunshine there would be a great deal less trouble
from deficiency of vitamin D. (G. A. B.)
Another reader would have air-conditioning and all the modern electrioit'
appllanceain her home, but thinks a house with a ramp or incline Instead Of
stairs would not be Odd House but Queer House. She says it would be as hard
or harder to climb a ramp or Incline than it is to climb stairs. If Mrs. W. J.
W. who proposes the ramp finds stair climbing too difficult she should build
an elevator in her house or have one installed—it can be done more readily
than a ramp could be built or installed in place of stairs, for the ramp would
require twice the ground space a flight of stairs requires. (Mrs. R. L. R.)
Western reader points out that just so much energy is expended lifting a
given weight twelve feet, up a ramp or scale a ladder. He informs us that the
watch towers in old French chateaux had inclines, but the cleats to prevent
slipping made them practically stairs with low risers. (D. O. B.)
Another Eastern reader begs that we have some consideration for friends,
visiting firemen and possibly the police. This implies that Odd House should
have an electrical house number, that is, one with illuminated figures, so
that a wandering stranger may find it without arousing the entire neighbor*
hood or getting himself shot as a prowler. He says hospitality, if not simple
courtesy, demands it, and such a device is readily attached to the door bell
circuit, or to the house mainline. (A. M.)
