ASK FOR UNIFORM
AUTOMOBILE LAWS

Washington, Feb. 17-Uniformity in
state automobile laws was the principal
topic of discussion at session here of
the American Automobile association.
Among the speakers were Senators De-
pew of New York and Taylor of Ten
nessee, Representative Cocks of New
York and Burke of Pennsylvania.
Speaking of the advantages of auto
mobiles, Mr.. Cocks, author of the fed
eraI registration bill now before the
house committee on foreign and inter-
state commerce, declared that auto
mobiles will become common carriers
and will beat the interstate commerce
commission in regulating the freight
rates" He expressed the opinion that
| Speaker Cannon would be with them
in their fight to get the bill through
declaring incidentally that "Uncle joe
/ is a much abused man and blamed
for great many things others are re-
| sponsible for.
Senator Depew dwelt on the history
and the development of the automobile
which. he said lis more like a no.
nance than one OF enormous invest
ment of capital and employment Of
labor"
Representative Burke said he favored
uniform state automobile laws, while
Senator Taylor said that being $;
states rights democrat, he could no
say how far he could go on the fed
eral registration idea," although he wa
for good roads.
Other speakers were Walter
Schultz of Connecticut; William d
Schier of Boston; Allen M. Fletcher o
Vermont; Arthur Fifoot of Connect
cut; L. w. Page of the bureau of goo
roads, department of agriculture, an

MADE APPEN DIX.
Yale Football Man Sets an Anatomical
Record.

Record.
New Haven, Conn, Feb. 17.-An an
atomical record which is supposed to be
due to football has been made by
George Goss, one of Yales best all
around athletes of several years ago.
Goss has just undergone an operation
for appendicitis. with the esut that
his vermiform appendix when removed
measured six inches in length. The
ordinary appendix is from two to two
and one-half inches long. Medical men
here say that Goss' is the longest which
has ever been measured. He was four
wears guard on the Yale football eleven
and was intercollegiate champion i'm the
summer through for four years. He
was graduated i'm the class of 1908
When he was i'm college he tried t.
break the college record as strong
man and strained his back so badly
| that an operation was performed by
/ a New York specialist. Goss is a soI
/ of a Waterbury millionaire manufact
urer. He was stricken with appendi
citis when on a business trip and thu
operation was performed at DIR. Mayoi
sanitarium. Rochester, Mimi. The ex
treme length of the appendix is believed
| TO have been due to either his football
! career or his strength test strain.
