Show Points to Big
Business, HOupt Says

Although the New York show has
always been more remarkable for pro
ducing live prospects than FOR actual
retail sales made during It's run, some
remarkably good records were MADE
this year. Harry $. Houpt, who
handles the Mitchell line in Southern
New York. Western Connecticut and
four other Eastern states. reports hsv-
ing closed twenty-five retail sales, in
addition 10 big business with his
sub-agents. He believes that the show
opened what will prove 10 be the great
est selling season in the history OF the
industry.
The distribution Of sales between
"fours" and skies al the Mitchell
booth during the show indicates that
public favor Is about equally divided
between the two types, since the sales
were nearly equal.
I'm many ways, but especially in the
fact that this years crowd was the
most prosperous looking J have seen
in my long experience IN New York,
consider the 1915 display 70 have been
the most successful IN the history OF
shows mere" Mr.. Houpt says.

MOTORISTS FAVOR
ONE-LICENSE BILL
A.A.A. Will Urge Congress
to Pass Representative
AdamSOn's Measure.
CALLS FOR ONLY A
HOME REGISTRATION
Supreme Court Decision. Hos;-
ever. in Maryland Case
Makes State Law Supreme.

Congress now viii be asked by q vas.
number Of motor car users 20 pass the
Adamson measure. The American Auto
mobile Association mas taken the mat
ter in hand. and John A. Wilson. presi-
dent Of the organization, viii confer
m Washington with Representative
William {. Adamsou. % Georgia, chair
man Of the Committee on Interstate
and Foreign Commerce, and the author
Of measure cOncisely set forth IN the
following extract:
NO person who shall have qualified
by complying with the laws and regu-
latOns OF the state. territory or dis
trict Of his res deuce 20 use and oper-
ate such vehicle or vehicles shall be
required in any other state or territory
o. district into which he may 60 for
business or pleasure 10 make any add
tlonal registration or take out any
additional license in order 10 use and
operate any such machine"
For some time the Adamson measure
has rested IN committee awaiting 4
decision by the United States Supreme
Court on what has been known as the
Maryland case" wherein resident
OF the District Of Columbia contendsd
that he had the same right as any other
vehicle owner to the use OF Maryland
roads as long as he had provided him
self with an identification number from
ms home district. and thus made u
possible TO apprehend him in case he
violated any Of the highway laws Of
the commonwealth.
In the decision rendered by the
highest court in the land, written By
Justice McReynolds and concurred in
by all the justices. j, u held that in
the absence Of 2 national law state
has perfect right 20 enact whatever
laws II may see M In relation 20 the
automobile.
Furthermore. Justice McReynolds
holds that "the movement OF motor
vehicles over the highways is attended
by constant and serious danger 20 tho
public, and is also abnormaliy destruc-
tive 10 the highway itself" Further on
the justice states: I'm the absence OF
national legislation covering the sub
jet. state may rightfully prescribe
uniform regulations necessary for
public safety and order IN respect 20
the operation upon It's highways OF all
motor vehicles those moving in in
terstate commerce as well as othors."
The president of the American Au-
tomOblIe Association. commenting
upon the situation, SAYS: "The infer
ence OF the highest court that there
should be a national law covering the
subject should prompt our immediate
attention TO the matter. for 10 is GER
tslnly most unusual situation when
citizen OF the United States is not
, free to travel IN any section OF the
country after ne has provided him self
with an identification number from his
home state"
