1.-THE regular session Of the 35th
legislature passed a measure for
the regulation Of traffic on Tex
as roads which will become effective
July l Of this year.
It is confidently believed that the
new law. properly enforced, will de-
crease the number Of accidents from

It is surely to the interest OF the
general public that a stop be put to
auto accidents. But it is more to the
interest OF auto owners and auto
statesmen and supply houses. The
business of the latter depends upon
keeping the auto in popular favor
and il will surely lose its popularity
with the people If the present record
of death and destruction is not i'm
proved.

onstration before q board OF
military critics at the Rock

Col. Burr. commander OF the
arsenal; Mai Ramsey and Capt.

was to operate the tractor into a
deep clay pit. dragging a Al field
piece and carriages with it.
without pause it thrust its iron
beak up the opposite side and
waded into a deep swamp. Engine
and all went under water. The
machine plowed its way out
without losing any OF its train.
and the route was retraced. Some
trouble was experienced in negO-
tiating the bank after leaving the
water, but a couple Of railroad
ties were. dropped in the path,
giving the necessary footing. a
steep bank was assembled. A tree
six inches in diameter was cut Off
without retarding the progress
OF the machine. Permission was
granted by the war department
to film the exhibition, and the re-
production will give an idea of
