MOTORISTS AT PANAMA
HAVE MANY TROUBLES
Only Twenty-Six Miles of Travelable
Highway in Entire
Canal Zone.

Latest to join the 600-odd state and
local organizations included in the
American Automobile Association is
the Panama Automobile Club, with a
m embership of 80 and a representative
list. which includes men who have lived
and motored in all parts of the United
States.
Though there are only twenty-six
miles of travelable highway in the
Canal Zone, and even less in the re-
public of Panama, with restrictive
laws sadly out of date. the Panama mo-
torists hnd elf-propelled vehicles a
pleasure bic necessity which approache s
a luxury because of registration taxes
averaging $50 per car.
DIR. W. B. Pierce is the president of
the club, with Capt. w V. Pratt. L. S.
N. serving as first vice president: Mai
j. B. Mitchell of Fort Grant, treasurer
and John r. Bingaman of Balboa in
secretarial charge. Raoul Espinosa of
Panama City is the chairman of the
good roads committee; Capt. c. II. Pat
terson Of Ancon fills the Legislative
Craftsmanship; willing Spencer and DR..
Forrest Evans. respectively. serve as
chairmen of the public safety and mem
bership committees. Brig. Gen. G. r.
Edwards Is among the many notables
embraced in the membership.
President Pierce Of the Panama club
Is spending a period in the National
Capital. and. in cooperation with the
A. A. A. officials, he is seeking d modi :
fication of the motoring restrictions of
the Canal Zone. The old limit of eight
miles an hour in the city and the ex-
cessive registration taxes particularly
call for attention, and II is contended
that since the Canal Zone conditions
are not dissimilar to the District OF
Columbia, there should be as much as
possible duplication of the automo-
bile regulations. Dr. Pierce is of the
opinion that ultimately a first class
road will practically parallel the canal
though at present its building is quite
indefinite.

at the present time is the only produc-

most stimulated by the European con-

Motorist Gives Experience.

The experience of one motorist who
made the return trip from the Pacific
coast over the Lincoln highway in the
late fall of 1915 is decidedly in point in
this connection He says:
With the knowledge gained during
this trip. most of the annoying situa :
tons could be entirely avoided on d
