TEMPLAR TO BE. MADE.

Stockholders Of the Templar Mo-
tors Company of Cleveland, for which
a receiver was appointed several
months ago. pending a reorganiza-
ton, are forming an entirely new
corpor alton to acquire the assets con-
trolled by the Templar Syndicate and
again enter actively into the field Of
motor car manufacturing
Complete details of the reorganiza-
ton are being handled exclusively by
the Templar stockholders, who have
formed r. reorganization committee
composed of about twenty-five lead
ing stockholders. In their opinion
the general business conditions and
those in the automobile industry in
particular. are ripe at this time tc
insure the successful completion OF
their plans to restore the production
distribution and sale of Templar
cars to normal.

Directly upon the heels of the
movement toward uniformity of mo-
tor vehicle laws and regulations fol-
lows movement urging a continu-
alton of the present method of adopt
ing new ideas in regulation and en-
forcing them as necessity arises. One
group stands for progress of motor
ing through standardization of laws;
the other stands for similar progress
through change.
There are arguments in favor of
both, but certain facts which are just
coming to light are of particular
Importance in considering this new
movement against uniformity. 1t
narrows down to a question Of which
Is the more progressive: Standardiza-
cording to the latest and most ad-
vanced ideas of individual states,
provinces. cities and towns.
IL there is to be standar dization of
tau lights. for instance. what is to
he the standard and how long will
that standard be effective as a means
of safeguarding motor traffic?
Advocating uniformity is only part
Of the problem. If there is to be
uniformity motorists want 10 be as
based on the low standards preva-
lent throughout the country, or will
IL be based upon the latest standards
as SGT up for Massachusetts drivers
and all who use the roads of that
state:
Marks Important Difference.
This decision makes an important
adherence, because If the lower stand
ards are adopted the advantages of
Uniformity are offset by the disadvan-
lagos OF backward regulation in re.
spect to tail lights. and because If the
more advanced standards are adopted
rhe advantages of progressive regula-
ions are overShadowed by the reluc-
tance-perhaps. refusal-of the bulk OF
them.
There is as much danger in making
uniform these regulations. which
though common. are behind the times
IS in making uniform those regulations
which are too new for the majority OF
motorists. 1t is because of this situa-
ton that one motor vehicle expert has
declared uniformity TO be a f1ve-yeaI
job. and which encourages many to the
beliaf that complete uniformity of au-
tomobile laws and regulations would
retard progress and thus become a pos.
ftive handicap to motoring.
There Is proba biity. for example
that yellow tail lights will be adopted
IN British Columbia. Many traffic ex.
perts and engineers see positive
danger in the use of red for tail lights
owing to the constant risk of confusing
signals marking road excavations, de
tours and railroad crossings with the
tail lamps of moving automobiles.
Yellow in place of red for use on
automobiles would obviate the posi-
btlity of such confusion. Thus 1t Is
eeen that, presuminE this to he de-
f,rable step. if red were adopted as
