DOINCS IN THE AUTO WORLD

1 left in meeting anyone in order that he might have his adversary, if such he proved to be. on the free or right side.
 In this country horseback was the first general mode of travel because of the almost impossible roads. A horseman in meeting an adversary, kept to the right in order to have the enemy on the protected side, the , horses body and neck forming a shield and his own body protecting his gun arm.
 Traffic custom did not become defi- nitely crystallized until the advent of the automobile, and then in Europe the driver sat on the right side, and in the United States he sat on the left side. In Europe, the arrangement was all right because with the reverse traffic regulations. the driver was the closest to the vehicles he was pass ing. The greater safety of this ar engagement forced the adoption of the left-hand drive in this country.
 Connecticut will continue to be ex- ceilently represented in the American Automobile association. and it will be made up in part of the membership of the present state association" said President John A. Wilson of Penn sylvania. on Tuesday at A. A. A. Ma tional headquarters, 4S7 Fifth avenue. New York
 The machinery Of the present state body has fallen into the hands of it's secretary, who in the recent election accumulated three positions. the sec retaryship and the chairmanship of two important committees, which add to the income he obtains for his ser vices. year ago at Chicago, and again in December last at Richmond, the nominating committee of the A.

Rowe of Maryland, first vice pres ident of the association and temporary head during the absence in Europe of President Wilson, who sailed Wednes- day. Hence it is not surprising that the Cincinnati club, which unsuccess- fully sought at Richmond to elect one Of it's members to the national presi- dency, has withdrawn from state and national bodies because of an alleged Al1odAI IO LIlS CluD luTOuBn recent aC- tion of the A. A. A. executive board in dropping Dr. A. B. Heyl from the national board of directors as director at-large from Ohio. Over a year ago at Chicago the president of the Gin cinnati club was not renominated as a vice president. though there was opportunity of presenting his name from the floor; and a substantial del egation was present from Ohio. The same chance presented itself at the Richmond meeting for nominating Charles M. Robinson of Connecticut to membership on the executive board l have always believed that the ma jority should rule. and the majority did rule both at Chicago and Rich mond. Since the A. A.
