UNIFORM Al I D
LAW IS COAL

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 16.-Senti-
ment for a uniform traffic ordin-
ance Is sweeping the cities and
towns Of the South like wildfire, &C.
cordinR TO letters from city and
county attorneys reaching the Auto
mobile Club of Southern California.
/ It seems probable that this section
viii be the first in the United
States to have city laws governing
motor vehicles conform approx
mately to a single standard.
To introduce the proposed plan
throughout Southern California the
legal department OF the automobile
club recently SEN to the attorneys
for more than 200 towns and cities
copies Of an ordinance prepared
with q view to general adoption.
These attorneys were asked to give
any assistance they could in bring
Ing the law to perfection for
presentation to the lawmaking
bodies OF the communities.
Replies received so far from the
attorneys are highly favorable and
many contain pertinent suggestions
indicating keen interest on the part
Of communities and desire to
make their local laws conform with
those Of other communities.
The proposed ordinance Is the
result Of joint labors on the part
Of the public safety and legal de-
partments Of the Automobile Club
Of southern California, aided by
DIR. Miller McClintock, director Of
the bureau Of traffic research OF
the University Of California, south
ern branch. It is believed a uni
form law is more important in this
section than any other of the
country in view OF the enormous
number Of motor vehicles owned
here and the large number Of tour
ing motorists from all sections of
the country.
It has long been held a bad stu
alton to have the laws governing
motor vehicles changed with the
passing Of the limits Of different
communities. as this contributes to
unintentional lawbreaking and the
incidental conflict with the authori-
ties.
Should the proposed uniform traf.
fic law be generally adopted, as
now seems probable, the n1otor.st
VIII have only one set of traffic
rules to memorize and visiting
tourists may travel freely through
Out southern California in the
knowledge that they will be gov
erned by the same law in one
town as In another.

There Is q lot OF sound reason

Many accidents are the direct

Safety for individual motorists will

BIG MUSICAL COMEDY TO
BE GIVEN FOR BENEFIT
OF DELTA'S CITY PARK

A musical comedy which for costly
and beautiful settings, elaborate
scenery and novel lighting effects
promises to eclipse anything ever
heretofore shown in this city, will be
presented at the high school audi
torium Monday and Tuesday. Nav 4
and 5.
Seventy-five characters, all local
people, will be employed and the play
is TO be directed by Harrison Adams,
who is rated among Americas fore
most amateur theatrical managers.
The managers carry an almost un-
limited amount of scenery, draperies,
costumes and electrical fixtures with
which to make the entertainment
more effective, and all that is left is
for Delta to provide the actors.
Everyone agrees that Delta is es-
pecially fortunate in having fine tim
ber so there is nothing lift to worry
about. Hark back to the magnificent
productions of a few short years ago
THE Garden of the Shah" and The
Gypsy Rover" and then you will

a real honest-to-goodness entertain
ment.
Oh yes, we almost forgot to say
that the proceeds from this show are
to be added to the Park fund which
is assuming definite proportions and
which will be used to build a swim
ming pool, a wading pool, purchase
playground equipment, and every
thing necessary to make a real city
park.
Read what the Boston Globe" saws
of THE Cameo Girl: THE production
was elaborately staged and beauti-
fully costumed. 1t abounded in catchy
songs, lively music, clever dancing
and sparkling comedy"

La Toilette IS
INDEPENDENT

Senator Robert M. La Toilette,
jr., OF Wisconsin, today announced
himself as an independent Repub-
lican and renewed an oath of al
legiance othe Progressive plat
form of his late father, in q letter
to the Republican committee on
committees.
If the Republicans Of the Senate
desire him in their fold under these
circumstances, La Toilette said, he
would be glad to accept the major
ity committee assignments given
him by Administration leaders.
The assignment of La Toilette as
a Republican member of the Com
mittee on Manufactures, Indian
Affairs and Mining committees was
later confirmed by the Senate Itself,
without debate, along with other
new Republican assignments.
La Toilette sent his declaration
of independence to Senator James
K, Watson (Rep), of Indiana, chair
man of the Committee on Com.
mittees. The. letter read as fol.
lows:
MY Dear Senator Watson,
IT am informed through the
newspapers of this morning that the
committee OH committees has voted
to report my committee assign
ments to the Senate. Before this
formal action is taken by the com
mittee, it seems important. that
there should be no misunderstood
