Uniform Motor Traffic Laws.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-Simplifica-
ton is to be the keynote of the new
uniform motor vehicle and traffic law
which will be promulgated in a short
time by the legislative board of the
A. A, A. The motor vehicle laws now
on the statute books of most Of the
states are unnecessarily long and cum
bersome. Duplication and further
confusion exists where state has a
separate motor vehicle and traffic
laws on its books.
Highway traffic in its final analy-
sis is but a single problem" says
Chairman o. /. Yellott, whether it
relates to motor lcars, horse-drawn
vehicles. traction engines, or pedestri-
ans. Traffic should be handled as one
problem by one general set of laws,
so that the rules governing one par
ticular kind of traffic may fit into and
be consistent with those governing all
other kinds of traffic.
"The details of the uniform law TO
be framed by the A. A. \. board have
not yet been fully worked out, but it
may be stated in a general way that

But the motorist doesn't do this. He
is deceived by the speed of the train,
which does not seem to be coming
very fast after all-and he gets into
trouble. And the remarkable part OF
it is that these fellows who get hurt
seldom have any real reason to be in
a hurry. In most cases they are driv-
ing along with their families or friends
with all the time in the world to
spare-and yet this fascination of
beating the train over gets them"
Mr.. Stapleton's advice of play it
safe" is worth serious inward diges-
ton by all who drive cars. and par
ticularly by the motorist in his driving
infancy.
"If you ever get stalled on a railroad
crossing" says Mr.. Stapleton, "and
your motor won't start, you can fall
back upon your starting system TO
pull you over. Just throw her in high,
let the clutch in,-step on your start
ing system to pull you over. Just
throw her in high, let the clutch in,
step on your starter hard, and keep
your foot right on it until you are
in safety on the other side. A thor
oughly dependable starting system
like the Westinghouse, which is on
the bort, is worth while having in a
pinch like this"
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1916-11-19
Accidents Result from MiscaIcuIation.

always play it safe" is the advice
of Earl NJ. Stapleton, bort distributor
and manager of the Stapleton Motor
Sales company of Oklahoma City,
Okla, to the new motorist. Accord
ing to Mr.. Stapleton, most accidents
are the results of miscalCulation on
the drivers part. The inexperienced
motorist is the fellow who usually
goes in the ditch because he has not
acquired the instinct or knack of
knowing just the moment to swerve
his steering wheel or apply his brakes.
Obviously dangerous as railroad
crossings are, there seems to be
fatal fascination in them for the new
driver. Newspaper accounts of motor
ing accidents on railroad crossings are
of almost daily occurrence. The story
is practically always the same-the
occupants killed or seriously injured
because the driver miscalculated.
If the motorist would bear in mind
that train travelling so miles an
hour is really moving about 80 feet
a second, and that in the five seconds
that It wSl take him to cross the
tracks, the train will have moved
about two city blocks, he would not
be so quick to rush his car over ahead.

| the first subdivision will deal with
general provisions relating to the ap-
plicability of the law and definitions of
terms used therein. The second sub
division will deal with the appoint
ment, powers, and duties of a state
traffic commissioner, who will have
general supervision Of traffic of all
kinds on the public highways. The
third subdivision will deal with the
registration of motor vehicles and op-
orators. The fourth viii deal with
the operation of vehicles of all kinds
on the public highways, as Well as
with the conduct of pedestrians there
on. The fifth will dea, with the en-
forcement of the preceding provisions.
Thus each subdivision of the pro
posed law will be almost wholly self
contained, thereby doing away with
a great deal of the confusion which
now exists in as many state laws by
reason of different kinds of provisions
being intermingled. But the idea of
simpifcation will be carried still fur
ther. The provisions relating to the
traffic commissioner will be made
quite brief and very simple. One sec
tion will define his duties; another,
his powers; both in like general terms.
Broad provisions will be used to ex-
tend these duties and powers as far
as may be necessary to accomplish
the general objects of his appointment.
The courts, as a rule, may safely be
trusted to amplify provisions of this
kind with much more satisfactory re-
suits than where the lawmaker him

the question of gasoline economy, how
many miles per gallon he can get out
of his motor, and figures out from that
how much per mile for fuel it is going

possible to conserve the gasoline. He
looks for the most economical speed
