conditions" says Bruce Emerson. of EN-
erson & Orme, local agents for the Regal.
Durability of construction, accessible

terested in"
Washington's lack Of adequate traffic
regulations as we'll as ignorance OF the
law Of the road by drivers, is no better
demonstrated than at two Of the most
crowded crossings in the city where the
streets are at present torn up. Though
1t is necessary to make a slight deviation
from the accustomed path to avoid the
torn-up portion that can hardly be con-
strued to mean a man can deliberately
drive to the wrong side OF the street and
then turn close to the curb opposite to
the side of the street he is supposed to
use according to traffic regulations of
other cities. A few minutes before yes
terday's storm when every one was seek
ing a place Of safety, several collisions
were narrowly averted. Policemen had
their hands full looking out for pedes-
trians. Cars and teams all turned the
near corner and as a result there was
a grand mixup for a few moments. A
set Of traffic regulations properly en-
forced would soon cause all to become
familiar with them and avoid much con-
fusion.
Lack Of interest is giYen as the reason
for the postponement of the Baltimore
hill climb which was scheduled to be
held Saturday.
NJ. A weisssenburger, district sales
for the Regal, was in the city

ing of trade conditions in this section,

what of a falling OF at this time of
year, but 1t must not be forgotten that
this is the fag end Of the present sea-
son. Next years models will soon be
out, but Just what we will have am
not at liberty to say now, but It is some
thing entirely distinctive at the price"
