 FORCED INSURANCE
Not in Favor Of Compulsory Law
 for Motorists

Washington, Mar. g. ---- Following arc tho reasons given by the Amer lean Automobile association for ops posing the enactment of a com pulsory insurance law for motorists:
 T. The weight of informed opin- lon is overwhelmingly on the side of those who contend that compul- sory insurance would not prevent accidents.
 "2. Adoption of the principle would be first step leading to state insurance.
 "S. As safety measure compul- sory insurance was voted down by the Hoover conference on street and highway safety,
 "4. Insurance experts claim it will tend to increase accidents, pro- mote development of irresponsible companies and multiply frivolous and excessive claims, all of which would result in advance of insur- ance rates.
 "5. It is impossible to ascertain how many owners and drivers of automobiles are irresponsible or what the amount Of uncompcnsated damages are. But the toll that com pulsory insurance would levy on all motorists is out of all propor. ton to uncompensated losses. To guarantee this loss of something like s50,0O0,0Oo, compulsory in. surance scheme would make the motorists of the country pay addi,

 Experts for some time have feared famine In auto fuel Motor ve- hicles and gasoline power machinery together with the converting oi coal burning engines Into oil burners, is rapidly depicting the ou reserves.
 Facing Problem
 The situation brings the motor vehicle industry face to face with the problem of obtaining more ef- fcient results from the fuel used.
 It is known that but I5 per cent of the power in gas Is utilized in the present method Of operation.
 "A gallon of gas contains enough energy to run a car 450 miles on level paved road, if 1t were pos- sible to utilize all of the energy in the gas" according to T. A. Boyd, Dayton, O., an authority on fuel.

 Another solution lies in the in- creased efficiency of engines in which gasoline is used.

HUDSON co. AGAIN SCORES WITH COACH
Designers Still Leading Field
 With New Ideas

In developing the coach type of body and seeing 1t through to gen. ' eral adoption by the industry, the Hudson Motor Car Co. has scored the third similar success of lis hls- tory, according to NJ. D, Honeyman, Hudson Essex distributor.
 NJ. D. Honeyman declared that Hudson had built and named the first sedan the motor world ever knew. the first speedster type of touring car and now the greatest success of all, the coach. Hudson built the first coach in November 1891.
 When We sec thousands of sedpns on the streets today" said M D. lIoneyman, 1t Is difficult to believe that the first one ever built was constructed i2 years ago by the Hudson Motor Car Go. Then as now, the Hudson management was greatly Interested in enclosed cars at a moderate price.
 Up to that time, it was thought that only the very wealthy would buy enclosed cars. They were built 10 be chauffeur driven. The Hudson management believed that closed cars could be built with g single compartment. and that the owner would be glad to drive it himself. That belief was the basis for the Hudson sedan. It had a lot of opposition at first and jt was a considerable period before sedans became general.
 "Hudson's second great success in bodies was the passenger sports type Of touring car. The first of these--the Hudson speeds introduced in 1916 along with the first super-six type Of motor Low and graceful, with sweeping stream. lines. this car caught the public's eye instantly, It was the first of literally scores of similar models.
 But the greatest of all was the development of the coach. Behind fhis was truly fundamental idea the idea of an enclosed cat at an open car price. To develop that idea Hudson had 10 ovcrturn the indhstry's whole habits of closed car consTuctton-applying 10 them for the hrts time all the economies known to simpltied manufacture.
 For three years, Hudson Essex had this market to itself, while makers of open cars vainly resorted 10 one device after another to stimu- late sales. But the public wanted closed cars at open car prices-and now the industry has stempeded to coaches But for a long time 10 come the man who thinks of coaches will think of Hudson Essex"

Two outstanding problems con front motordom today. They con cer1---
 1. Traffic.
 ?. The motor bus.
 Auto improvements, fuel supply costs used cars, all are practically lost within the shadow of these two sticklers. Important as they are in themselves, they do not approach the significance that authorities place on the traffic and motor bus questions.
 Every city in the country. with hardly an exception, is .tryihg to make driving and walking safer. Every state and municipality has the passenger-carrying problem to tackle.
 So important are these matters that national conference has been going on at Washington, under the direction of Secretary of Com merce Hoover, in an attempt to alleviate them.
 Street railways, railroads, taxi q cab companies, transportation com panies of all kinds are trying to find a way out of a difficulty that, in way. makes both the traffic and .he motor bus situations one com bined puzzle.
 Many Angles
 The traffic tangle presents itself in numerous ways. Narrow streets, poorly designed cities, lack of sys- fem, old-fashloned traffic laws, bad roads, are only a few of the sub jects that come under this head. It has brought together safety, busi- ness and social organizations in an effort to s4ve 1t.
 Tests have been conducted with all sorts of devices. new systems and any other ideas that seem prac- ticable. Laws have been passed first 10 slow down traffic in congested districts, then to speed 1t Up every- where, 10 as high rate as safety will permit,
 All in an effort to dissolve con- gestion, especially in downtown dis tricts.
 Ideas for subwayH and overhead roads have been formulated. Streets have been widened at enormous cost to cities. Trafic towers have been put Up, more and wider streets created, and boulevard stop laws passed. Yet the trafic accidents go on and engineers continue to search for the ideal system.
 Relief by Bus
 The motor bus is coming in faster than ever, in an effort 10 help solve this difficulty, rather than compete with the street railways, interur- bans and steam roads. In fact, 1t is contended, the motor bus is not be- ing introduced to replace the street car. It is intended as a supplement tary means of transportation.
 For the relief of traffic conges- ton, the motor bus helps in bring ing down town men and women who otherwise would drive to work. That keeps some potential motor- ists from increasing the auto density in the business area
 Several railroads and street rail. way systems have already adopted the motor bus to gain this class Of
