New legislation will be necessary and

cause of Numerous Accidents.

Paramount Park ,Philadelphiaj au-
'horities have issued an announcement
10 automobile owners that ON and after
November Il headlights on automobiles
must not b- lighted while going
through the park. Accidents due to
TIE binding glare OF hich-powcr head
lights resulted in this determination ON
the part OF the park commissioners. II
is possible that the use OF only dim
lights may cause even more accidents,
and the question may also be raised
as to the responsibility of motor
drivers in case of accident.
Another warning to it's members sent
out by the AUTOMOBILE CLUB of Phila-
delphia, is to observe the sign, BLOW
Horn, recently erected at the foot of
The OGontz hill on York road. a po-

Not until all supervisory road Off
Gals are appointed in accordance with
the recognized principles of the merit
system will America be sure of an ade-
adequate road SYSTEM says Richard
Henry Dana. president of the National
Civil Service Reform League. Mr.. Dana
calls attention to the fact that from l0o,-
900 to 10000 road officials now have
supervision of the annual expenditure
of well over S2oo.000.0o0 for road pur
poses in the United States. With COM
paratively few exceptions these men
are chosen without regard to their spe-
cial fitness for the work and largely
on account of their political afiilia-
lions.
| A session devoted exclusively to the
merit system in road administration
will be held under the auspices of the
| National Civil Service Reform League
at the fourth American road
congress at Atlanta. Ga. this week,
An earnest effort will be made

Indianapolis Motor Speedway Will
Continue Its Associations.

INDIANAPOLIS. November RE
ports to the effect that the Indianapo-
lis motor speedway contemplated
breaking with the American Automo-
bile Association. the governing body of
the sport, were decisively refuted to-
day by the announcement that the
speedway had arranged for official
sanction of its next 500-mile event by
the parent organization. the sanction
number being 200.
The fact that the speedway in the
future will conduct manufacturers
tests on it's own responsibility, which
gave rise to rumors of a possible dis
agreement, is declared to be well
founded on precedent, similar tests
having been conducted by the Chicago
Automobile Club without A. A. A. sane
ton. Nor, it is stated, is there any
animus manifested toward the A. A. A.
by the speedway in taking such &C
ton. Relations between the governing
association and the speedway are de-
scribed as being of the friendliest sort,
especially in view of the harmony
which, it is stated. should be preserved
to insure the success of the impending
contest season, now looming up most
favorably.
