QSTS to ulSPOS6 Ol all AAOSOl zines having been contracted for; the hospitals use motor ambulances, motor hearses and motor cars are used in funeral processions, the horse-drawn police vans have given way to motor driven vehicles, and motor cars by the dozen are now at the disposal Of the Paris gendarmes 4n the event of an emergency calling for quick move.
 It is expected that the new ruling by the United States credit department, relating to automobilists crossing the Mexican and Canadian borders. the ef- feet of which is that there shall be no duty charged on the cars. the only re- quirement being that the machines must be inspected, will result in great increase in this class of travel into Mexico The new ruling fixes six months as the time limit set on this free return of t1he cars into the United States.
 Tho resistance offered by the air to the passage of a car is considerable, when the machine is travelling at any speed.

 The movement looking toward the
 opening, of the national parks to au- tomobiles is still going on, and if there is anything in perseverance, success should crown the efforts of the motor fists at last. Out in California the trade and owners are especially interested in the opening of the Yosemite national park; and they are lining up in an i'm posing concerted effort. The action is shortly to be concentrated upon Walter l.. Fisher, secretary of the de- partment of the interior, who is to re- turn from trip to Honolulu shortly. The new state registration law of Arizona is now in effect, Under it's provisions every owner. of motor ve- hicle must register each machine in the office of the secretary of state. A com plete description of each car, including the name of the maker, factory num- Der, style and motor power, must be given. The registration fee is $5 for a machine of 40 horse power or less, A L. A. M. rating. The motorcycle tax i is placed at $2 The law does away with city numbers, which have here tofore been the source of much con- fusion.
