that the material is recognized in the

more the United States office of public

America Submits Work of
Committee.
YEAR AND A.HALF,sPENT
IN STUDYING SITUATION
Hoped Adoption Of Regulations Will
Help Many Cities to Recognize
Importance Of Movement.
BY HOWARD S. FISK.

A standard code of traffic regulations
is being distributed among state and
municipal officials having under their
jurisdiction the regulation of street
traffic, according to a statement issued
by Frederick H. Elliott, executive sec
retary of the Safety First Federation
of America.
Recognizing the need of such q code.
the street traffic committee of the fed
Grafton. comprising some of the fore
most experts in the United States and
Canada, has been studying the situa-
tion for the last year and a half, and
the results of the committees accom-
plishments have been a source of graft
fcation to the officials of the fedora
tion.
The code is comprehensive. 1t deals
with the carrying of a license, with,
the regulation of lights; 1t pro-
hibits the use of whistles. deals with
unnecessary noise and smoke and de-
fines the course to be taken in case of
accident.
Clauses Are Conservative.
It's clauses are conservative, but at
the same time comprehensive. For In
stance, in reference to speed 1t merely
states that no person shall operate q
motor vehicle in a reckless or careless
manner, and shall have proper: regard
Tor the width, traffic and use of the
thoroughfare, so as not to endanger the
life or limb or the property of any per-
son. No vehicle shall cross any street
or make any turn at a rate OF speed ex-
ceeding one-half of the legal rate OF
speed"
The code includes instructions about
the right of way, instructions to pedes-
trians, how to drive slow-moving We
hicles. the distance vehicle must keep
from a street car, and how to turn,
stop and back with no danger to traf-
fic. 1t includes regulations in parks,
deals with safety zones and parking,
and covers rules not only for motor
lists, but for bicycles, street car drivers,
pedestrians and drivers of other We
hicles.
For safety in street traffc there are
three essential requirements, according
to Secretary Elliott: First, the adoption
of proper and uniform regulations; sec
ond, the education Of the pa6iic. as well
as the drivers and5operators of all ve-
hicles, to the necessity OF conforming.
thereto, and third, the proper enforce
nent Of such regulations by the local
authorities.

generous space! Disappearing auxiliary seats that
really disappear Tonneau lights in the rear Of the
luxurious cushions that invite to relax and ride
blissuy free from all suggestion Of motoring fatigue.
LOOKING FORWARD the eye rests on the solid
mahogany instrument board,-a thing of beauty in
itself. There are big compartments for gloves and
personal effects. All instruments fastened from
beneath, leaving screws or other attachments to
mar the beauty of the board. On the steering wheel
all metal parts are Of aluminium. The windshield is
a work Of art.
But splendid as are the proportions Of this car
beautiful as are its body appointments-it is the
chassis that places the Westcott in class unique.
THE WHEEL BASE IS 1875 NCHEs-the length
which gives most complete riding comfort coupled
with greatest ease Of driving and turning. The frame
is of extra duty pressed steel in beam construction
tremendously strong for its weight. Eyery leaf of
every spring Is Of chrome panadun stee practically
unbreakable but luxuriousy resilient. The arles are

Character Of Headlights.

'"The headlights shall be so arranged
that no portion Of the beam of refiected
light, when measured seventy-f1ve feet
or more ahead Of the lamps. shall rise
above forty-two inches from the level
surface on which the vehicle stands
Such headlights shall also give sufficient
side illumination to indicate any per-
son, vehicle or substantial object ten
feet to the side Of said motor vehicle at
a point ten feet ahead Of the lamps. The
term beam Of reflected light as used
in the above provision, shall be con-
strued as meaning the approximately
parallel localized rays gathered and
projected by q reflector, lens or other
Fdeyice."
In the matter Of speed the committee
does not recommend any fixed maxi
mum, that being considered matter
for local decision. The section on
speed" in the code reads:
hicle in reckless or careless manner,
and shall have proper regard for the
width. traffic and use OF the thorough
fare, so as not to endanger the life or
limb or the property of any person. No
vehicle shall cross any street or make
any turn at a rate Of speed exceeding
one-han of the legal rate of speed"
The adoption of the standard code
with the view to securing uniformity
in traffic regulations will be Of much
help to the authorities in many cities
who have been slow to recognize the
Importance OF the safety first move
ment. and will bring to them the ex-
perience of the moro progressive mu-
inequalities.

|ONLY 262, 400 MILES
| OF ROAD SURFACED
Great Problem Is to Improve Re.
mainder Of 2,333, 900 Miles of
United States Highway.

There are 2,sss.ooo miles Of public
roads in the United States. of which
only 262,400 miles have any kind of
surfacing. In other words, nearly SO
per cent Of our roads are Of dirt. and
1t will be quarter OF century, prob
ably. before this percentage is reduced
to 75.
The great road problem Of the United
States is to grade, drain and maintain
these roads so as to make them of the
best practicable use at a minimum an
nual expense. Some progress along
these lines is evident, and in some Sec
tions very satisfactory earth roads
have been built and are maintained in
in spring, by intelligent dragging.
Another method of maintenance, orig
mating In California. is now being
tried with more or less success in a
number Of the central states. This is
oiling the roads. It's purpose is to sup
press dust. for in SO doing the road
surface will remain smooth longer than
when the road is dusty. and there Is
less mud formed in wet weather But
oflfng roads has to be done intelli-
gently or it will make conditions worse
instead of better. 1t is useless to oil
a dirt road which is not thoroughly
drained and properly graded. 1t is
waste of money to oil road which
does not have a smooth, hard surface
free from dust. If the surface is un-
even oil collects in shallow depressions
and softens the surface so that after
the first heavy rain the travel tends
to make mudholes at these places. If
there is dust on the road the oil COM
bines with the dust to form a sort Of
mat, which the travel over it quickly
breaks up into large fakes or scales.
Surface Is Bound.
If the road is in proper condition to
receive the oil. and the right kind of
oil is used. the oil percolates into the
pores Of the earth for depth of sew
eral inches, sealing them with an as
phaltic binding material which unites
the surface into a tougher mass than
the original surface. The oil cannot
make the road any harder. for only
stone or gravel will accomplish that,
but it viii prevent the displacement
of the earth particles under any loads
which an earth road Is adapted to
carry.
If the oiled surface Is Immediately
covered with a thin layer of clean, hard
sand. the travel will not disturb the
inconvenience. The right kind of oil
should be used, for there are some kinds
which act as lubricants and ruin a road
instead of improving it.
This kind of maintenance of earth
roads ts proving SO successful in the
central states that the Illinois state
highway commission has recently issued
for free distribution a p-ofusely illus
trated bulletin telling how to do 1t and
what things to avoid doing.

inequalities. The compilation Of this
code has been under the direct super
vision Of Police Commissioner John
GILLESPIE of Detroit, and the committee
has had the assistance not only of state
and city officials, but representatives OF
automobile clubs, transportation and
street railway companies. representing
sixty-five cities in the United States
and Canada.
The regulation for controlling head

of Automobile Engineers and indorsed
by the street traffic committee OF the
