sible combination Of common factors
npd has then been added to by ex-
J)sfience from time to time until u
final result Is had. That has been the
evolution of the law SO far as ! have
studied IL in every New England state.
In short, as soon as a problem becomes
acute enough to need law. that par
tjcular problem Is iegislated for.
Taking that principle, in which i
fully believe as basis. ] am con-
v.nccd that uniform motor vehicle
law for the United States or for ans
considerable portion thereof can never
be had except along the process of
evolution, and my notion Of making
such n law is to go Mt it just as we
now are through our organization of
commissioners. and take those common
problems which are before US and at
tempt to legislate alike in the various
States for them.
There is. after all, very little diff
ference In the laws of the States rep
resented in this conference and any
other administration on common sub
jccts. and we might even get down to
n proposition of n uniform working on
some of the subjects to start with.
The first effective step which I have
ever seen. as I now look at IL, is this
organization Of motor vehicle admins
traitors for the purpose of attempting
q uniform law within the limits of the
States represented" "

tending to cover all possible phases and
complications would not reach.
.,, Many Problems Common
There are, he admits. many problems
which arc common to al States. at least
in the East. aud these problems should
be the subject of uniform legislation.
Mr.. Stocckel outlined what he be-
i,lcvcs to be the essential factors IN the
campaign for uniformity. They arc
First. required uniform motor ve-
bicle operators license with the powers
Of revocation or suspension either in a
7 Commissioner or in the courts with APP
peal to the Commissioner. In using
the word COMMISSIONS" are included
all authorities having charge of the ad-
ministration Of motor vehicle laws.
Second. The right Of way. rules
meaning thereby the laws of operation
of n car. including especially such laws
as viii give the right of the way to n
car approaching at an intersection from
the right The law regarding passing
standing trolIy. cars, the pedestrian law
making reckless walking an offense. the
laws requiring lights and devices Oh
motor vehicles and all matters of equip
mcnt which can be standardized. in
cluding perhaps also highway signs,
flash lights. silent policemen and all
detective appliances and indications.
b. Speed Regulations . .
Third. To cover the regulation Of mo-
tor vehicle traffic as to speed. public
service motor vehicles, commercial mo-
tor vehicles as to their overloads, aud In
general such laws as will make the
supervision of traffic from its broad
standpoint uniform so that a car which
/, driving legally in ono State will not
be in danger of being found operating
legally in an adjoining or other state.
Fourth. Possibly n uniformity in the
issuance Of registrations for cars with
view to the betterment of conditions
regarding the marking of stolen cars
and so as to facilitate examination and
determination of the identity OF any
person or any car ut any time.
"Thcre are undoubtedly" he said.
"n number of other matters which can
be made the subject of uniform legis-
lation and without doubt will eventually
be- worked ia. II seems TO me that the
difficulty with any proposed uniform
motor vehicle law so far presented for
consideration is that the whole theory
Of legislation. upon which |. at least,
travel, Is transposed in this way. Any
uniform motor vehicle law which have
seen has been complete compilation
of what its proposcrs consider to be
the best ultimate solution Of every prob
lem in every State. The result has
been highly specialized and carefully
drawn document which does not fit re
uuiremcnts in all States alike. and no
commissioner. so far, asI know, has
ever been able to seriously consider such
Il law as a whole, although there might
be- parts of il to which he could sub
scribe readily.

Humanizing the Motor Car.
JANUARY 1922

A really fine motor car attracts an eager
and an appreciative market in America
as surely as magnet attracts steel.
Ut all the conveniences and commodi>
ties Of modern civilization, it is still the
one most desired.
But it must be truly fine, in the strict
and literal meaning of the woodland
that fneness is the fruit of combination
of elements rarely attained.
Engineering genius is not enough, nor
metallurgical skill, nor mastery of design. +.
nor scrupulous choice of materials, nor
fine manufacturing equipment. nor un>
limited financial strength.
After all these have been supplied, the
history of the past twenty-five years
has proven time and again that some
thing else, must be superadded which
spells the difference between the ordi>
nary and the exceptional.
That something else is almost like trans
mutation of the lifeless metals which
enter into the construction of the car.
It endows the completed product with
an entity as much its own as the per-
sonality Of human being,

Neither technical skill, nor scientific ac.

of them combined, necessarily confers
this peculiar identity upon motor car.
Motor cars are built for human beings.
who react to them continuously. in
brain and body, with every pulse of the
motor and every turn of the wheel.
1t is important, therefore, that engineer.
and designer, and metallurgist, and
manufacturer, alike, shall warm the cold
processes of theory and practise, with
constant remembrance offesh and blood.
When such Car is achieved, it is not
merely mobile in the highest sense ofthat
word. but instantly obedient to every
demand of human ease and enjoyment.
1t is only achieved when the individual
craftsman submerges the ego of his
genius and unites with his fellows in
harmonious group>action under intelli>
gent direction.
When such group>action and direction
are assured, and when the hard me.

sottened, and humanized-the and
only then, does motor car become

either. Inquiries made later in the
day failed to reveal any trace of either
of the missing persons, and the police
were asked to join in the search for
them. Even then Mills, groping dumb
ly for some solution of the mystery,
had no suspicion that his wife might
she left their home.
He scarcely could believe it yester-
day. All day he went about with a set,
meaningless smile on his face, such as
he employed when one of his wife's in
explicable whims struck her, trying
vainly to convince himself of the act-
uality of the situation.
Letters Reveal Affection
To others the letters found in Mr..
Halls pockets were illuminating proof
of the bond that had existed between
him and his sections wife. When De-
tective Totten reached the scene of the
murder the letters were scattered on
the grass, but he said he believed that
policemen who arrived before him had
taken them from the clergyman's 8
pocket in an effort to identify the body
and had dropped them there. Mills rec
ognized his wife's writing.
Dearest" one of them began:
There isn't a man living can make
me ever smile. As. you said to-day,
our hearts are true as steel; / am not
fretting. / know there are girls with
sanity bodies, but am not caring. I
have the greatest of all Blessings
noble mans deep, true, eternal love
and my heart is his, my life is his, all
have is his. Poor my body is,
scrawny my skin may be, but am his
forever"

other letter:
