In Motor Travel.


AS field for automobile touring China
leaves much to be desired in fact. with
the exception of the interest invariably
ers in other lands and of the peculiar
architecture and scenery of the country
China possesses few of the qualifications
usually regarded as essential to a sue
cessful automobile tour. The use of the
automobile as a means of travel does
not extend at present much beyond the
limits of some OF the principal cities and
their suburbs owing to the fact that out
side these localities no roads suitable for
motor traffic exist
Through the courtesy of MIR. Thomas
Sammons, American Consul General al
Shanghai. and the Automobile Club
OF America 1t Is possible to furnish SUN
readers with some interesting and au-
thentic data concerning motoring condi-
tons in the grand republic of the Far
East.
Motoring in China Is sufficiently es-
tnblished to require the mothering care
Of an automobile club, which, under the
title of the Automobile Club of China, is
located in Shanghai, with NJ. G.. Beck as
its secretary, and while it cannot be
said that automobiling has yet assumed
large proportions in Shanghai, the num-
Der OF cars and motor trucks in use is
slowly, but surely forging ahead.
AS indicating the growth of motoring,
Mr.. Sammons mentions one interesting
phase of the work undertaken by Chinese
motoring organizations with the obiec,
OF fostering the movement and of meet

must carry number plates, which are
issued by the municipal authorities OF
the International or French settlements.
The fees payable quarterly for regis
tration OF private cars are ten taels; for
trade cars and commercial vehicles OF
the lighter kind FIVE taels, and for vans
and trucks fifteen to thirty-five taels
according to classification. At the pres
emit time the value of the Chinese tHe1
is about S1.10 in United States money
though in normal times its average
value is from GO to 6S cents
When driving an automobile in China
the rule of the road to be observed is
the opposite from that in vogue in the
United States The Shanghai Municipal
Council traffic regulations require thai
drivers OF motor vehicles keep to the
left SIDE of the road and, when passing
other vehicles Except surface cars)
travelling in the same direction, must
pass or the right. In the case OF sur
face cars, whether moving or station
airy, drivers must always pass them and
overtake them on the left
Owners of high powered cars con-
templating visit to China will note with
satisfaction that there does not appear
to be any established speed limit for
automobiles, though n possible reason
for this apparent immunity may lie in
tIle IdCI t1dI tne average TOdu COnui-
tions render definite legislation along
these lines superfiuous. Traffic regula.
lions require that no driver shall drive
his vehicle 'furiously' or in such a
manner as to endanger life or limb of
any person. The municipal authorities
have recently issued a request that
motor cars be driven carefully and
slowly in certain parts Of the more con-
gested streets, especially near school
buildings, with a notification to the
effect that this request" will be en-
bodied in a regulation" in the event of
its not being complied with.
Hotel accommodations appear to be
up to date and garage service satisfac-
tory in Shanghai and other cities in
China where automobiles are used to
any extent, while gasolene and lubri-
eating oils are, as a rule, readily obtain
able at reasonable rates. Such firms as
the Standard Oil Company of New York.
the Vacuum Oil Company and the Texas
OIL Company maintain agencies in most
Of the principal cities throughout China,
and standard makes OF tires may usually
be obtained through the established
automobile agencies.
A certain amount Of road building
and reconstruction is already in prog
ress to meet the requirements of auto
mobile traffic, a notable example being
the road to Woosung, now nearly COM
pleted. This is a forty foot highway
being surfaced with six inches of Gin
ders, and the forerunner, II Is hoped, Of
many other roads radiating from Shang-
mai, particularly the long talked Of road
out to the Zosai Hills.
