nothing of capitalists OF all nntionaii-

splendid possibilities afforded there
for the automobile tourist.
Road building had been more or
less a negligible quantity for lie many
years OF Spanish dominion, but with
the advent OF the American occupancy
weli-detined scheme and connpre-
hensive scheme was mapped out and
started whereby the island would
have a network of good roads reach

Favorable action on the Federal
Registration Automobile bill at AZ
early date Is confidently expected ~
the automobilists Of tho country as tbs
result OF the presentation of the
merits Of the bill before the dele
gates in Washington at the recent
legislative convention of the American
Automobile Association. The encour'
aging feature in this respect Is dus
to the keen interest shown In the
reasonableness OF the bill by the mem
bers OF the COMMITTEES on Interstate
and Foreign Commerce. before whom
the hearing was held on the last day
Of the convention. Several of the
members expressed themselves al
heartily in favor of the provisions o.
the bill, recognizing It's justice towara
automobiles OF the country and tbs
benefits that ii would naturally con-
fer not only upon tourists but to the
industry Mt large.
While favorable action in Congress u
therefore reliably expected, another
beneficial result OF the legislative con-
vention will be the wider acceptance
BY various state Legislatures az the
Uniform state Motor Vehicle bill al
drafted by tn Legislative COMMITTEES

OF which have already been incor-
porated into the automobile laws OF
more than b dozen States.

AUTOMOBILE GOSSIP

Fostering the social career Of their

sight of a Newport mother with a
handsome daughter, there are Eev-
eral makers who intend that their
products shall not become the prop

perfectly willing to leave 1t to others
TO supply cars for the masses. In the
figurative sense, while they them
selves automatically devote strict at
tention to the classes To the un-
initiated a revelation Of what rigid
policies and far-sceing psychology

the NEST prominent manufacturers, IN

respects is remarkable.
