another circular letter to the members

could wish, IL is nevertheless very
much better than a more restrictive
one, and all automObilists should see
that Its provisions are observed Each
member of this club should use his
best endeavors toward upholding the
law by not alone personally observ-
club InfractiOnS at the hands of Others

know that many Eastern automobile
clubs are working toward framing a
universal automobile law-that is, one

framed which will meet with the ap-
prevail of all legislative bodies and be
satisfactory to the automobilists as
well.

be held between two runabouts. Ths
owners Of the cars are prominent mem
