A. A. A. to Move
For a Federal
Auto Road Law
Organization Will Intro.
duce Proposed Uniform
Measure in Congress

WASHINGTON, Nay 27-Becauso of
the enormous increase of motor truck
transportation and passenger car travel
on account of war conditions, the d.
rectors of the american Automobile
Association, in the annual meeting in
Atlantic City, decided to urge Congress
to pass O Federal uniform traffic law
which will harmonic the regulations of
the several states, particularly in ref
erence to weight Of loads, registra-
ton of vehicles and operators, and
miles per hour limitations. A measure
now being drafted will be introduced in
Congress, and undoubtedly will be re-
ferred to the committees of the two
branches having to dc with interstate
commerce.
In recognition of the acute govern
mental need for skilled automobile op-
orators and mechanics, a resolution
passed calls upon the motoring public
generally to drive their own cars, as
far as practicable, and to equip their
vehicles with necessary supplies, that
they may reduce their emergency
needs to a minimum, thereby cooper
ating with the automobile trade in re-
ducing night and Sunday service. Fur
thcrmore, the automobile clubs are
asked to formulate plans and assist in
the training of motor mechanics
through the maintenance Of schools for
this specific purpose.
Reference was made to the somewhat
astounding lack of official recognition
of the true Importance of travelable
roads at this time, and the War Indus
tries Board was earnestly called upon
to place roads materials and machinery
on priority lists, and the capital is
sues committee waj importuned to ap-
prove bond issues in connection with
the construction of main arteries of
communication.
Motor vehicle thievery, which has
become a great evil, was thoroughly
discussed, and plans made to cooperate
with both Federal and state police Of
fcials.
David Jameson, of Pennsylvania, was
elected to the presidency, succeeding
DR.. H. M. Rowe, of Maryland. Mr..
Jameson is we'll known figure not
only in his own state but throughout
the country, because of his activity in
good roads matters. The vice-presiden-
tial list is made up of Ralph w. Smith,
of Colorado; P. J. Walker, of Cali
fornia; H. ]. Clark, of Minnesota; Cliff
ford Ireland. of Illinois; DR.. John H.
Quayle. of Ohio; Dr. R. R. Elmore. of
Kentucky, and Preston Belvin. of Vir-
GINA. H. A. Bonnell, of New Jersey,
was elected treasurer for the tenth
consecutive time, while John NJ Brooks,
of Connecticut, continues as secretary
and A.. G: Batchelder, of Washington,
as executive chairman.
This suggestion will be made to the
committee on the uniform traffic law:
A simple way to end automobile
thievery could be incorporated in
that law, or in any states present
law. Just require that each. car IL
censed me inspected either by the IL
cense officials or the police the first
time n license is issued for it. In
spcction and recording of the motor
and car numbers would prevent
thieves from being able to sell or
use stolen cars. The inspection would
be scarcely more trouble than the

Don't Kill Your
Chicken This Way

Homer Webb, ex-president of the
Medina IN. W Automobile Club,
calls attention to the quantities of
poultry killed by automobiles in
New York State each year. He sug
gests that all autoists be more care
full and thus contribute "bit" to
the war. He points out that the
average is at least one chicken
killed for each automobile in
year, and that this slaughter de-
prives the market Of approximately
100000 pounds of food yearly in
New York State alone. ="
