AUTO ASSOCIATION STARTS NATION WIDE
FIELD CREWS TO ARRANGE FOR
ROAD BUILDING, SIGN MARKING
AND CAMP SITES OVER COUNTRY

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Sept. 8. -
Activities of Importance to every
motorist in the country are encom-
passed in the new and forward-look
ing plans OF the American Automobile
Association. Since the recent meet
ing of the A. A. A. executive board. at
which time it was voted to widen the
scope of the organization activities
and to raise more revenue to carry
ON the work, the national headQuar-
tiers here in Washington have been
fairly popping with pep" and re-
sounding merrily to the hum and bus
tie of putting the boards decisions
into effect.
While the committee in charge of
the organization automobile insuf-
ance plans is combing the country
for all the data, information and ex-
perience necessary to establish such
an important bureau. Acting Execu-
tive Chairman ID. L. Morgan is MAX
ing every effort to get A. A. A. legal
counsel appointed in every section of
the country. At the same time other
members of the official staff are
working out and putting into effect
many new features designed to bene-
fit motorists generally, and A. A. A
members particularly.
In New York City and Washington,
where membership in the A "A A. is
individual and direct. nothing is to be
left undone, it is stated that could
be considered an aid to members. In
creased activities include free towing
free legal advice, special membership
theft protection, and renewed and
closer cooperation with police depart
ments and traffic squads in the hand
ling of traffic and the elimination of
speed maniacs, reckless operators,
and all persons whose driving is
menace to other users of the streets
and highways.
In Washington, branch stations of
the touring bureau are being estab-
lished with the idea of not only max
ing it more convenient for members
oObtain touring information but also
to make such information, available
earlier and later in the day than has
been the case heretofore at the main
offices. This plan probably will be
followed in New York City. Other
plans include a printed list of all the
camp sites in the country, together
with a resume of the conditions under
which they may be used; also a relia-
BILE and recommended hotel service
for touring motorists, and a national
string of guaranteed garages and re-

HEADLIGHT LAWS
ARE EXP A|NED
BY OFFICIAL
Secretary of State Declares
Plain Glass Lenses Are
Violation of Statute

I PHOENIX, Ariz., Sept. 8. - Auto
mobilists using plain glass in the
lenses of their headlights are violat-
ing the state motor vehicle law, en-
acted by the last legislature, in the
opinion of Ernest R. Hall, secretary
of state. Hall announced his opinion
after he had received an informal rul-
ing from the office of the attorney
general on the question
THE words dazzling rays as used
in this law" said the opinion from
the attorney generals office, have
reference to that direct and binding
ray which is reflected from the light
and does not refer to the other rays
not dazzling or binding.
Whether or not the rays are daz-
cling or binding, and whether or not
at point Is feet ahead of the ma.
chine. such ray rises above a point
AZ inches above the level surface on
which the car stands, is a question
of fact, and the question of whether
the ray is dazzling and whether or not
it rises more than AZ inches above ese
level ground, is matter that the Of
ficer must determine at the time ne
finds machine with Objectionable
Tights.
with reference to candle power,
assume that there are few machines
equipped with lights less than four
candlepower or greater than 80, and
that for the purposes of the officer.
it is sufficient to determine the can
die power with reference to the bulbs
used, most of which are marker with
reference to the candle power. 4
IF the officer determines, after in
spection, that the lights constitute a
violation of the law. it is his duty to

courts to decide"

pair shops.
Although it has been necessary to
explain in many instances why the
membership fee has been increased,
the percentage of renewals continues
high and the new membership cam
paign inaugurated recently is meet
ing with success everywhere. With a
large force of solicitors already en-
ployed in Washington and New York
CITY, more are being added each week
with a view to training and equipping
men for field service.
The men going into the field will
cover the entire country and they go
to promote membership in the A. A.
A., to encourage road building and
highways sign making, to arrange for
district legal counsel, and to appoint
official hotels and garages.
The first Of the field representa-
tives to take the road was l.. E. War

the New York offices of the A. A. A.
for several MONTHS and who is cross

fully equipped for night and day trav-
ell in every character OF, country, to-
getber with his "Motorbungalo," at
fracted wide interest as it passed
through the streets of the national
capital
Having the promotion of roads as
one of the chief objects of his trip,
Warford naturally called on Senator

gether with Senator Jones. of Wash
inston. Senator Phipps, of Colorado,
anA numerous other national legisla-
tors, came out in front of the Capitol
and viewed Warford's outfit and wish
ed him Godspeed.
While the A. A. A. field men will
stop at hotels wherever possible, they
go forth with trailers attached for use
in an emergency. Their camping out
fits are quite unique and bound to atr
tract lots of attention from the resi-
dents of the sections through which

present in some sections of Los An

there several years ago, growing near

reaches a diameter of six or eight
feet. 1t threw out runners, and each
runner bears burs which thrust out

the investment proposition. VIII the De

Answer-We do not consider COM
mon stock as good investment for
man whose capital consists wholly Of
savings from a moderate salary, and
would not, therefore, advise the pur-
chase, or holding, of Northern Pacific
common stock. Both the Westinghouse
z per cent notes and the Standard Oh
of New Jersey preferred we consider
good investments. We share YOUR
high opinion of De Laval Separator
Company's products. The notes are
not secured by a mortgage, but are
direct obligation Of the company and
the earnings in past years have been
ample to give the interest on the notes
large margin of safety. 1t would
appear that this note issue funds debts
that accumulated in the period of re-
adjustment of prices which we have
just been going through. The restric-
tions mentioned in the bond circular
add to the security of the notes. New
York Central debenture per cent
bonds, due 1885, selling at about 90
and which come in $500 denominations
as we'll as $1,000 denominations, are in
our opinion q good investment with Il
fairly high yield and by buying the
$500 bond you could avoid selling your
Standard Oil of New Jersey and switch
from the Northern Pacific stock into a
safe bond.
