al investigation of trafflc regulations in all the cities visited. and found that much progress had been made n the handling of street traffic in many municipalities throughout the Middles West.
 The safety ones on the pavement. opposite the point where street cars stop have been inaugurated in various localities. In Detroit. MT. Elliott con-. ferred with Police Commissi oner John Gillespie, who has put into effect many new and practical traffic regulations the most of important of which is the one providingt hat pedestrians shall cross at the street intersections and prohibiting crossing the street inter- sections diagonally, or in the middle of a block.
 A compilation of statistics covering street accidents in Chicago. which were supplied by Capt. C. c. Healy of the traffic squad. shows that 75, per cent of the accidents occur in the middle of the block.
 It has been MT. Ealiott's experience that drivers of thousands of small cars are not competent to operate them when the ears are first deliy- cred, as these people are not familiar with the cars mechanism or the rules of thesroad. Thousands of cars are sold second hand to persons who have never driven automobiles or received instructions, as 10 now to operate them andt hese are not acquainted with the rules of the road Officials in several cities were of the opinion that the equipment of autom obiles, such as brakes, steering gears, horns lights, etc, should be examined periodical Iy, also that there should be a limit to the sic and weight of motor trucks
 The grade crossing situation was investigated in many of the cities vis- ited and in Chicago it was aseertained d that about fifty per cent of the grade crossing accidents were caused by -sta11ing of the motor. The Public Safety Confusion and Coroner Peter Hoffman of Cook County conducted many investigations. and whereupon it was found that the approaches to the railroad crossings were very rough. and that the blanks between the rails were unever, prohibiting the crossing of the tracks at a fair rate of speed.
 In several cities the officials are planning to secure regulations elim- mating the steps on the rear of ice wagons and other vehicles, making it compulsory to equip horse drawn ve- hicles used for delivery purp oses with brakes, requiring that the att tendants of filling stations shall not fill gasoline tanks of automobiles un- less the Inotr has been stopped and at night the lights are thrown off and no one is permitted to light matches or smoke within given distance of fill l ing stations.

Wholesome of the managers of so- called Sped Kings and automobile race chaTnpions' are making some surprising claims for their progEess
 who stack up as great champions on paper, a glance at the American Au- to1nbi1e Association Contest Board records for a, number of years proves conclusive1y that the automobile road race champion is Ralph De Palma. The records show that De Palma. has won more big road races than any dri- yer in the world in the history of au- tombile racing. having nine victories to his credit in big road events, in cluding two Vanderbilt Cup races and five wins at EIgin. His nearest com
 petitor is Earl Cooper. who has six road races to his credit. Teddy Tetz- 1aff, Harvey Herrick and the late Lew is Strang are credited with four: Ralph Mulford. three Hugh Hughes, three: George Robertson, three. and Harry Grant and Edie PulIen two. In contract. the famous foreign drivers

 The most severe. test an engine can be given to determine it's cooling and reliability, is a low gear run of suhi- cient duration to show it's ability along the above lines. One hundred miles on low gear, at an average of ten miles an hour, especially if the roads are heavy; will show more of the rug gednes and ability to withstand the most severe service, than any test known today. and anybody can make the test

MOTORCYCLE ARTILLERY.

Armory Sergeant H. R. Northover, is the designer of the rapid firing guns mounted on motorcycles which are now being used by the Ninetieth reg iment of the Canadian Militia, now stationed at Fort Osborne Barracks Winpipeg. This regiment is widely known through the Dominion for it's fighting record since it's organization, and it is therefore fitting that it should be the first to use the fnatorcycle mounted artillery This outfit can travel at four miles an hour, the us- ual infantry pace. or when dis patched to distant points, can attain speed of forty miles an hour.
 The motorcycle artillery can be driy- en through. ploughed fields and over the toughest kind of ground. It doesn't require the care that a horse does in the field. and Iessens, to a. great extent the problem of sanitation on the battlefield, as it requires many men to follow the army and dispose of the bodies of horses which ave fallen in battle The chief advan- tages, however, oft he motorcycle gun is it's superior speed. compared with other artillery and the. rapidity with which it can be mobilized where needed for effective action

DOOM OF EUROPEAN CAVALRY
 HORSE.

HOE&SEE.
 Gasoline is destined to replace the cavalry horse in war; says Fred w. IIaines. Over. in Europe they are slaughtering horses faster than the rest of the world can produce them, Buyers for the countries at war have circulated all through the United States and other neutral countries purchasing horses whenever and Wherever they could get >thern at all most, any price the owners cared to ask. The available horse supply of the world is rapidly growing smaller. The only agent that is available to take the place of the horse is the gaso- hne-p propelled automobile. and herein lies one of the biggest factors in the automobile business. For war pur- poses there seems to be no question that the automoaai1e is better than the horse because history shows no cavalry charge has ever succeeded against the old-fashioned hollow square used by the British army for generations, The military formation of the hollow square is indicated by a square in three rows. The first row kneels with bayonets set ,|the butt of the sun resting on sthe ground, the bayonet extending at an angle of 45 degrees, The second row stands firing over the shoulders of the first. The LI1rQ TOW Is a reserve to take the places of those killed in front. - Cav airy charges invariably break and scatter in disorder when set against a hollow square,, which holds its for nation whereas a charge of armored automobiles with machine guns would smash up any sort of infantry fafrna- ton that has yet been designed and the lightly armored light ear seems 1 best suited for this purpose. For commanding officers and staff officers, light cars are best suited, as they are much sWifter than the horse and en- | able the commanding officer to trax- erse extended lines from end to end lin an incredibly short time. The fuel to run a motor car is very cas- | fly handled. as it has small bulk, whereas prowender for horses takes up a tremendous amount of space and is hard to transport Imagine a reg fnent of men opposed to a. charging phalanx of armored motor cars mounting machine guns. or an officer furiously driving his racing car with orders to reinforce a hard pressed 1 section of batatle line. The horse is a ! fine, intelligent animal, but his use 1 as a charger in war is past-he looks | we'll in statues, but we may expect. the A1exanders, Hanniba1s, and Caesars o1 the future modelled in bronze or stone 1 xnad1y driving their battle cars.''
