he need never hesitate regarding the proper thing to do under the crcum- stances, nor be left to wonder what ,he other fellow could be expected to do.
 After a certain amount of driving a man comes to do certain things au- ;omatically without conscious thought and in sudden emergency he is like ly to follow the rule he is most ac- customed to. This fact works two ways. It tends to increase the danger where there is more than one rule for a certain condition and on the other hand it adds to the value of the uni versal rule, in time making it almost second nature to do the right thing.
 It would not be necessary to have Federal act to secure this result. Automobile associations, working in cooperation in the different states, could undoubtedly bring about uni form regulations and it is a matter which should not be postponed.

RENO GETS FINE
 OF $50 AND COSTS

In breaking up a brawl between five men at the corner of Water after midnight last night, aPtrolman Thomas Weller arrested Lorenzo Reno, of 146 Center street, on charges of breach of the peace. drunkenness and carrying concealed weapons.
 During the hearing in the City Court today, it was brought out that Rene had quarreled with a man in a Harra1 avenue poolroom earlier in the evening. The fight was contin- ued at Water street and Fairfield ave nue, but Reno, after being ordered to move along by aPtrolman Weller re- turned and declared that he was will ing to renew the fracas. The off, cer grabbed him, and as he did so a large carving knife dropped out of Reno's pocket. Judge Wilder imposed fine of $50 and costs.

X NEEDED REFORM

A N ACCIDENT in New York the A other day in which at least one person was fatally hurt, and more than a score injured, calls attention to the need of more uniform rules for automobile traffic in the different States.
 A Fifth Avenue bus and a five-ton Jersey City coal truck moving at right angles to each other, and each driver thinking he had the right of way resulted in the overturning of the bus.
 Both drivers were right. One ac- cording to the New Jersey rules and the other according to the New York rules.
 In these days of extensive automo- bile travel there should be one uni form set of rules for all states. A driver should not be obliged to learn a different set of rules for each state he enters. Oftentimes state boun- daries pass through towns and will Iages. Conflicting regulations make the rules of the road different on the two ends of the same street.
 What would not be considered very much of a journey by automobile frequently takes one into several states. It is a senseless and danger ous task to be required to keep prop erly seperated in the mind that num- Der of conflicting rules. It is no un- common thing, especially in the sum- mer, to see on the Post Road marx CTS from six or eight different states in as many minutes, many of them from the Far West and South Imagine the annoyance, to say the least, to those people in being ob1ig ed to master a different set of re uuirements every time a state boun dary was crossed.
 There should be one simple set O driving rules for the whole. United States so that no matter what parti cular spot a man happened to be in whether it was in the most crowded city or on the most lonely prairie

The principal speech of the morn ing session of the housing conference was that of Robert Tappan, New York architect, who said in opening:
 "We have acquired a lot of splen- did clues to this housing problem, but we haven't located the criminal. Wood isn't as much advertised as some of the newer materials, but 99 out of 100 houses are made of it and will continue to be so I have taken an examination of that factor as the most promising clue"

 "It has been said that it requires the services of 100000 different of any one individual. I feel that this is an understatement.

TO LEAD FIGHT

(Continued from Page One) told that MT. Lavery would appear before the commission on Tuesday to represent the league. MT. Lavery confirmed this statement but .cou1d not be coaxed into saying anything more in regard to the league or it's arr h tions.
 The league claims the 50-cent charge is unreasonable and unjust, and will do everything in it's power to have il done away with. Capilo says "A housekeeper who is using s3 worth of gas a month is paying a much larger per cent. to have a meter read than a restaurant keeper who is using some $30 worth of gas. A circular letter was sent to all the fraternal and labor organizations in .ra eity by a committee of the league.
 Copilo claims that over 100 replies endorsing the movement have been received. It is the plan of those who are promoting the league to or
 7r'@5 branches in every district in the city.
 The league was originally conceiv- ed by James Fahey, who with the as i sistance of Fred Brewer and Charles Freedman, has promoted it to its present point. These three will com prise the committee to go to art ford on Tuesday.

 "The same may be said to be true of taxation costs.
 Very few practicing attorneys even pretend to have the subject of the taxation and costs at their finger ends.

 These taxes are:
