LIONS HEAR BROOKS ON PARK SYSTEM
Chairman Tells Of Plans in North
 and South Ends of City

The regular weekly meeting Of the L'ons club was held at the Hotel Bur rit this noon with one of the largest attendance Of members of the year. Tn" speaker of the meeting was W. r.. Brooks. chairman of the board of park commissioners, who took for his tcplc Parks. Past, Present and Fu- tGrc." Mr. Brooks said that New Britain, as well as the ma ajority of cities throughout the country. is back ward in it's park departments and seems to feel that any money that is left over should be used for parks. He said that it is very difficult to get any board Of finance to appropriate money for parks as the pressure being exert cd for other needs ovcrrulcs the nee cssity for appropriating money for 'rarks.
 New Britain. the speaker said, is particularly unfortunate or fortunate ns yon may look at it in not having to the city for use as park within the last few years. Despite this han- dicap Mir. Brooks said that the ipeo- pls of New Britain should take more interest in their parks as they can loo'; on them. when completed. as work in which they have had a part.
 Speaking Of Willow Brook park. Ir Brooks said that when this park was being worked on. many of the rcoplc in the city felt that it would be a physical impossibility ever to make il into suitable park. Mir. Brooks said that the park while not Completc will be one of the best parks in the city when il is finished. The speaker said that the park commissioners hope to make the Stanley Quarter park into an mpsamcnt park and that al the present t'mc they arc working towards this end.
 In closing. he said that what the pC opc Of New Britain nc"d is some Che tu push the park end that with orlc who were enthusiastic and g, .u'd work for better sriss tho city ,' New Br;am would within a few .,ts hctc arstcm second to none.

2,OOO N. '. WOMEN

Flocks Seeking Waves Driving
 WaVers Crazy

New York. April S.-Concy Island and Brighton Beach still own a per- ranent wave, but in no other part of Brooklyn could such wave be used i' it existed, according 10 word spread by barbers Of the borough yesterday. IL is officially reported that women are bobbing their hair at the rate of :,000 day.
 Easter is close at hand and Easter bonnets are colorfully visible. Red predominates, but some are green, some are blue, some are orange and others are all four. Whatever the color, the'new hats are shaped 10 con tain one head and a minimum thick sss of hair. There is no room for coils, coiffures or curls. A hat will fit , onlAoa q bobbed hair head.
 Confronted. by the choice between new. hat with bobhed hair or last years Ina t win last years hair. the women of the borough could conceive of no real choice existing. It was the new lat, ,'of course. Accordingly, in enc dcaart:rent store alone IS bar lers ,hFe been booked up from morn ing fill night bobbing hair until Eas- ter tins.
 / Most of the women patrons of the t74 beauty bobbins shops of Brook yn are not fappers Of IS or IS.

There appears 70 pc ample eve
dence to support this declaration of
the motor clubs function : in this
connection. It has been shown, for
instance. that with the A. A. A..
clubs now linking up the motorists
Of the nation into one great organi-
zation with one goal In mind, uni
formity progresses as natural
consequence. Organized motorists
are thinking alike. and it Is only
q matter of acting alike If they
wish to enjoy the benefits OF q
national code Of traffic regulations
and motor laws.
It Is only within the past few
years that the motor vehicle au-
thorities Of some OF the States
have agreed to discuss their COM
mon problems jointly. But the motor
vehicle conferences do not embrace
all States. and the work they have
accomplished Is far cry from what
the motorist hopes for. He can
still cross from Pennsylvania into
New Jersey feeling guilty OF. having
violated some uncanny regulation.
Situation d Clubs.
The situation IL altogether differ
out with the automobile clubs. Auto
clubs are organized into State
The Washington times., 1924-10-01

groups. the latter being affiliated
with the American Automobile As
ISOLATION. Every motor club men,
Der OF an A. A. "A. club, therefore,
exerts a national influence upon
motoring, be It ever so slight.
Through the functioning Of the ma
t1onal organization the motorist OF
the Pacific comes to see that his
goal is identical with that OF the
motorist Of the Atlantic. It is q
relatively simple matter for them
% iron out sectional difficulties.
They are not prejudiced. They are
the motorists who travel, who work
Tor the bigger and better things In
motordom and who know that big
results are possible only through
true cooperation.
It should interest all motorists
to know that the traffic officials
OF Connecticut cities only recently
agreed to abide by a uniform set
OF traffic regulations, while the
automobile clubs OF all New Eng.
land States have long ago agreed
to a much broader form OF uni
formity. One hesitates to predict
the number OF years it would re-
Quire TO bring the traffic officials
Of all cities into an agreement on
the matter Of regulation, If they
were left to work out the problem
OF their own accord.
Influence Of Clubs.
The influence OF the automobile
clubs upon traffic officials il OBJ
vious. The automobile clubs are
reflecting the viewpoint Of the
national motorist. and that is the
type Of car owner the cities and
States must make up their minds
to cope with. Interstate motor
vehicle traffic cannot be handled
with any degree OF safety ana
sanity by regulations that are dan
Eerously localized. It is q national
problem. The national motorist de.
mands solution.
Naturally he IL seeking the ma.
tional means Of finding such a solu-
ton. Through his automobile club.
and thence through the nation
wide A. A. A., he aims to get the
other fellows viewpoint and reach
a common agreement. Through his
auto club he hopes to develop 8
thought Of such national import
that uniformity win deyelop a. 4
matter OF natural consequence.
Everywhere officials are coming
to see that organized motorists IRE
refusing to recognize dead-lines e.
tween cities and States.
