At a meeting of the Professional
Chauffeurs' Association. in the new
headquarters of the organization, 1107
14th street northwest, a few evenings
ago, traffic conditions in the District

upon by Albert S. Hands. recalling the
fact that the crossing men are not en-
titled to pensions or other relief in the
event Of accident death. as is the
case of members of the regular police

make a donation to the fund created
since the accident and at the conclusion
of his remarks the sum of $40 was
voted unanimously.

traffic regulations relating to pedes-
trians, calling attention to the fact that
many pedestrians walk zigzag across
the streets and avenue of the National
Capital while reading newspapers
and books. He pleaded for some sort
of action that would tend to educate
the pedestrian into giving vehicles a
small amount of consideration. George

vious.
The automobile industry will appoint
representatives to work on national
plan to be developed in detail. Ways
and means must be had to form units
of procurable machines and materials
The automobile industry will, in the
last analysis. have to supply the men
to man the trucks as well as the trucks
themselves. The number Of trucks
needed would depend on the length Of
haul rather than the number of men
or the amount of supplies OF be hauled.
1t is estimated that there is nearly a
I3O per cent saving operating trucks
thirty miles a day as compared with
horse haulage.
The good roads authorities are hope
full that with the existing methods of
state aid in forty different states and
the proposed federal aid there will be
in short time four or five roads across
the United States in an east and west
direction and the same number north
and south.
There is good assurance that an ade-
quate military transportation system
will be established and maintained in
this country, inasmuch as the govern
ment officials and the civilian author
