well illustrated as a result OF the recent
legislative convention held In this city
under the auspices of the American Auto
mobile Association. The strong plea made
at the hearing here before the committee
on interstate and foreign commerce,
which is now considering the federal au-
tomobile bill, has been productive of most
beneficial results I'm all Of the large state
associations and the more important clubs
affiliated with the American Automobile
Association.
A strenuous campaign has been In
augurated by many of the leading clubs.
and particularly throughout the state Of
Illinois, toward impressing upon the men,
bers Of the committee the great value Of
this national registration bill to the auto
mobile industry at large. While it Is
recognized that the benefits to tourists
travelling from one state to another will
be UNNECESSARILY improved by the adop-
ton of this bill In Congress. the fact Is
also admitted that 1t will directly and
indirectly aid every department of motor
ing. whether for business or pleasure.
The deep interest shown by the MEM
bers of the committee on interstate and
foreign commerce and their admission
that the broad principles of the bill were
just and reasonable have been a great
encouragement to the active motorists
who have been working for equable laws
on this basis during the last three years.
Some minor changes to the bill have been
deemed advisable and these are now be-

1t is the aim of the authorities to have
all the heavier vehicles keep as close TO
the curb as possible, 10 secure stopping
at the curbs with right wheels next
thereto. to lessen the cutting of corners
and 10 have drivers indicate by whip or
hand the direction they intend to turn.
With an enlarged traffic squad, much
progress in this direction could be made.
Another feature which is receiving its
share of attention is the restriction of
the business highways to the heavier
class of vehicles, thus giving way to the
lighter vehicles, much in tile interest of
the community. 1t is pointed out that
this is particularly true of Pennsylvania
avenue and + street, which thorough
fares at times become congested with
brick wagons. hay wagons and other
heavy vehicles. which restrict the free
use of these streets and jeopardiZe life,
limb and property. In several of the
other cities of the country certain thor
oughfares are designated for heavy
travel, which does not interfere with the
business districts. The introduction of
the motor vehicle has resulted in new
element for supervision under reasonable
restraint. and the police have been
charged with the enforcement of the
laws and regulations governing this class
of vehicles. 1t was the expression of
Congress that reasonable regulations
should be enacted for the government
and control OF all kinds OF vehicular traf-

1t has been the aim and desire OF Maj.
Sylvester that respectful. calm, cour-
teous demeanor should mark the atten-

cases, and an avoidance be had of any
thing having ths appearance Of persecu-
ton. In this respect it might be said
that from time to time he has issued
orders requesting that the same close at
