No part Of the motor car is

With a view toward improve

STANDARD Plates
''The usefulness Of the standard
license plate in traffic control and
regulation can be greatly enhanced
by study and the cooperative ac-
ton Of all concerned" Hudson said.
1T Is obvious that as the impor-
lance Of the license number is ac-
centuated or emphasized, 1t will
have a definite effect on many
would-be reckless drivers. When it
becomes easier to get the number,
and there is less possibility Of error,
many a chance.taker will drive
more Sanely."
''The motorist gains to the ex-
tent to which such uniformity
makes motoring safer for him. -
Hudson continued. For the pedes.
triani means he can make surer
mental note of the reckless driver
who almost got him."
Size OF Plates
License plates, it was pointed
out, range in dimensions from eight
to twenty inches long and from
four to six inches wide. with
punchings which in but two-thirds
Of the States tit the slots provid-
ed. They offer no uniformity in
the size Of number, the spacing Of
digits nor the position and location
of State initials, nor Of the year
Of ISSUE"
AS to color coordination, it was
advocated that combinations must
be chosen with regard to those Of
neighboring States. Hudson said
that If the color combinations con-
tinue to play such an important
part in car Identification, traffic
officers must have eye-tests for
color values.
