Compari~g the six months' production of this year with the same period last year, the association's figures show a total gain in 1928 of 42,906 units, th~ production of the first six months of this year being 2,201,880 units of which 1,965,727 were passenger cars and 236,153 were trucks. Illinois ranks first among the states in development of playgrounds during 1927, nearly $8,500,000 having been spent for thi s improvement and community recreation facilities. Overhead Roads Speed Up Traffic, . Cut Motor Costs Automobiles are taking to the air at highway intersections, at least in effect. Elevated crossings, wherein one street is bridged over the intersecting highway, are now actualities. There are ' probably two dozen street or rural highway grade separations in the United States and more are being · planned or built. \Vayne County, Michigan, is at present building the most elaborate raised intersection in the world. This structure, costing in the neighborhood of one million dollars, will pay for itself in a comparatively short time, it is estimated, through the saving of tim~ · and the elimination of accidents it will bring about. The structure consists of two bridges, each 168 feet long and each carrying a 40-foot roadway and 10-foot walk. Carefully arranged driveways and approaches will p·ermit traffic to pass from one highway to the other without interruption. In estimating the value of separated highway intersections, highway authorities have determined that a delay of one minute costs the passenger car owner at least three cents. This is considering the year around overhead of the automobile and the operator's time. Since this sum does not include the cost of the time of passengers and such items as gasoline and oil, the 1 three-cent-a-minute valuation is conservative. So two intersecting streets, with a daily traffic volume of 24,000 cars in all four directions, cost motorists $1,080 a day or nearly $400,000 yearly. This is estimating that half of the cars using the intersection will be delayed three minutes.

Accidents to Children Often Due to Car Doors Sev~ral serious accidents have been reported during the first six months of the year involving case'!: where children have fallen out of machines due to extreme carelessness on the part of the motorist, according to President Mayer of The Automobile Club of Illinois. A child should not be allowed to sit next to the door of an automobile, nor extended such privileges as closing or opening the doors for passengers. In this wise many doors, which would otherwise seem securely fastened have merely been closed without the doublesnap lock taking hold.
