CHICAGO TO REMEDY
ROAD CONGESTION

Traffic Highways.

One of the most far-reaching steps
in the clearing up OF traffic conges-
ton has been taken by Chicago and
its surrounding communities in unit
Ing in Joint plan for highway build
ing and control. according to Thomas
H. Macdonald, chief of the United
States Bureau of Public Roads.
One of the chief troubles of both
the city and rural traffic today" says
Mr.. Macdonald, lis the fact that there
is a No Mans Land in between the
two, which serves to choke up both.
That is, in the outlying districts Of
most metropolitan areas there are
villages or suburban cities which.
either through lack Of funds or for
political reasons, do not develop a
street system fit to handle the traffic.
There is such a borderland area in
Chicago where the traffic of Is streets
pours into three streets, causing con-
gestion to back up all along the line.
This is a typical case.
Around and In union with Chicago
there are SO jurisdictions which are
working together on centralized
traffic program whic his to be
developed as a unified system and all
put into effect at the same time.
without some such unifyIng OF
traffic, progress in all our large

very difficult, because as matters now

BARS DEAF AND DUMB
DRIVERS OF MOTORS
Maryland Commissioner Also De.
MES Licenses to One-Armed and
0ne-Legged Men.

BALTIMORE, December 27.-Re-
peating his declaration that he would
never issue automobile drivers IL
censes to deaf mutes unless ordered
to do so by the court. Commissioned
of Motor Vehicles Z. Austin Baugh-
man today pointed out that they arc
not the only class who are denied IL
censes due to physical defects.
The other classes denied licenses, he
enumerated. are those with poor eye
sight. persons who have lost their
arms or legs. epileptics, she'll shock
victims and understood persons.
NO licenses are issued TO unusually
small persons" the commissioner ex-
planned, unless the operating seat
and levers of the car are so placed
that they can be reached easily by the
small driver.
Persons who have lost one arm or
one leg are given drivers licenses
only when they show by actual test
that they can control their cars with
out danger.
This usually eliminates persons
who have an arm off at the shoulder
and those who have a leg off so high
near the thigh that they cannot use
an artificial leg with ease
Also, he stated, a person weighing
under 30 pounds would not be given
a license to operate a large motor
truck, since there would be danger
in his attempting to stop 1t.
Commissioner Baughman made this
explanation because of the fight which
Is being planned by deaf persons in
the city for the right to obtain auto
mobile drivers licenses.

Pity the Poor Car.

Automobiles, not their drivers, are
to blame for everything they are
driven into, IL we are to believe the
theory upon which a number of new
and radical safety ideas are predicated.
The proposed impounding law
whereby cars involved in accidents
would be held in a public pound for
a stipulated period of time is one in
stance of this. And hardly had the
motoring public swallowed this one
than an insurance company awarded
q prize to an advertising man for
proposing red license plates for cars
driven by reckless operators.
Agog. the public is waiting to be
told what any automobile could do
of It's own volition that would occa-
sion SO severe a punishment
What has a car to do with the
brainlessness of its driver? many are
asking.
Apparently the Nations safety adj
vocates are getting off into a side
road. but some have hopes of their
speedy return For one thing, IL is
widely reported that the impounding
law proposal hasn't a chance in a
million for general acceptance, and
the prize-winning suggestion regard
ing discrimination in colors of license
plates permitted car owners following
accidents Is being viewed as just an
other one of the many ideas" from
which motordom Is already thought
to be suffering severely.
Despite the great growth of the
automobile As a means of transporta-
ton, there still persists the old idea
that an automobile is one and the
same with the man who owns or
drives II, whereas any automobile
nowadays is likely to be operated by
a dozen or more people during the
year. thus rendering any restriction
on its use no assurance of restriction
upon the freedom OF the owner or
customary driver.

C0AST-T0.COAST BUS
LINE HELD SUCCESS
Three Modern Motor Coaches Garry
Passengers Cross Country in
80 Days.

Successfully completing the first
transconttnental motor bus tour in
the history of this newer form of pas
senger transportation, three modern
motor coaches. carrying 25 passen-
gers and their baggage, rolled into
Los Angeles a few days ago. 80 days
out of New York
II was the first coast-to-coast effort
of the motor bus transportation in
terests, and fixed schedule was kept
all the way from the Atlantic to the
| Pacific.
| Commenting on the first cross-con-
| tinent motor bus journey, r. r.. Sib-
| ley. president of the company pro-
| noting the new transportation line,
said:
I'VE have seen America and have
| Travelled In comfort and luxury every
mile of the way We held right TO

| mechanical troubles. We had only
one tire puncture throughout the en-
tire 1000 mile journey.
! Although our schedule called for
! 80 days of touring, including stop
| overs and side trips, our actual run
ming time was surprisingly short. Our
coaches averaged 80 miles an hour,
| despite the fact that we ran through
all kinds Of weather and negotiated
all kinds of roads. In some stretches
! we broke trails through deep snow
| drifts. The famous Ration Pass and
other equally stiff climbs gave US no
! trouble at all. In spite of unusually
difficult driving conditions. our big
coaches averaged seven miles per gal

The busses used on the tour were

coaches, equipped with l0G-horse-
power, six-cylinder engines -Four
vehicles actually made the trip. three

gers. and one TO act as pathfinder
and to carry luggage.
Motor coach touring is rapidly be-
coming one of the most popular meth
DDS of mentioning" said Mr.. SibIey
| But our transcontinental was the
most ambitious one ever attempted.
Its success. we believe, marks only
the beginning of an intensive deyel-
opment of this form of touring. for Il

In reality, this new method is only
a revival of the old days, when stage
coaches rolled from inn to inn In

Second Edition Trouble.

Psychology plays queer prank on
the car owner who Is overanxious to
avoid a second edition of some trou-
BILE that he has worked hard to get
rid of. 1t seems that as soon as he
takes the wheel of the new car he
commences looking for the sort of
trouble he had with the old one. and
he very shortly begins to find 1t, for
the unique reason that he starts to
do the things that develop the partic-
ular trouble.
In other words, in trying to see
whether the particular unit OF the
car has the particular failing he
makes certain tests which, in them
selves. are nothing more nor less
than trouble breeders.
Suppose his old trouble has been
that the engine raped whenever he
accelerated quickly. Along comes the
new car, and he is naturally interest
ed to know whether it will do the
same. To his way OF thinking there
only one way TO find out. Thus he
steps on the accelerator at most IL
logical moments, and listens. The
chances are ten to one that nothing
will happen. He tries 1t again the

is why progressive dealers EMPLOY

is why the progressive dealer does

than plaything for him to do with

These important changes in the
dealers attitude should be carefully
considered by all motorists for

influence the car owner toward in

The process of closing UP all the
louvres OF the hood as a means Of
keeping the engines heat from
warming the universe instead Of the
drivers feet is advisable provided
freproof material is used. Some

usually get by with 1t, the element
OF danger is not worth risking.

Throwing Lights

Big Help in Fog

When you meet with q fog so
dense that tho glare OF the head
lights reflects back like a white
blanket and the dinmed lights
alone are not enough to show the
edge of the road. a slight improve
ment can be made by throwing
the headlight bulbs slightly out
of focus.
Instead OF concentrating the
beams to attain a sharp penetrat-
ing light, adjust to obtain a shall
low, fiaring, spreading beam which
will show up the side of the road
and do away with much of the
glare back from the impenetrat-
able fog bank.

And other drivers must take into con-
sioeration the fact that all motorists do
not see. hear or grasp things AS quickly
as they. 1t is clearly a matter of en-
ploying little common sense In con
sidertng the danger of variable sensi-
bility.
1t requires some drivers much longer
to recognize danger as such. Some
see normally but a portion Of the road.
Some cannot even feel the presence
