- A change in Marylands motor ve-

Legislature by John \. Mackalf. chair
{ mar of the State Roads Commission.
At conference with F.. Austin

hicles. and officials Of the Automobile
Club Of Maryland and Automobile
Trade Association. Mr.. Mackall out
lined tentative plans for state roads
to he transformed into boulevards. en-
cept at certain designated points.
BENEFITS Outlined.
], Under this system. 1t was pointed
out, traffic would he Speeded up and
the number of accidents caused by au.
tomobiles claiming right of way when
entering main highways from obscure
roads would be reduced
Many motorists in Maryla nd fail to
realize that they do not always have
the right Of way while on the State
roads" Mr.. Mackail asserted "Eatu-
rally they speed by the small county
roads without Stacking pace, and often
accidents occur when another autOmo-
bile. which has the right of way be-
cause it is coming from the right,
enerses upon the state highway from
the small road.
Fatal Accidents Cited.
= Last year there were a number of
fatal accidents and numerous less seri-
Gus ones from this very cause. No
one expects the driver of an automo-
bile tn know Of every small road adj
joining the State roads. Many of the
roads are hidden by trees and brush
and it is Impossible to see the inter
sections.
'tol these rea sons it would seem
to be an advantage to have machines
coming out upon the State roads stop
and see that the way is clear before
proceeding"
BY giving motorists on State high
ways the right of way. the boulevard
system throughout the state would
he an innovation in this section of the
country. it is said.

WINTER AUTO SALES
KEEP HOST AT WORK
Thousands of Employees Active
Now Throughout Year, Where
Once Winter Meant Idleness.

Automobiles will he delivered to
thousa nds of American homes as
Christmas presents this year, where
but four years ago car sales at this
sea son were not pushed by even the
most aggressive of companies.
In this fact there is something much
more than tribute to the genius of
the engineers who produced the closed
growth in the Nations economic life,
according to oscar Coolican, local
Packard dealer
'"The present Winter will prove
more cOnvincingly than ever that the
automobile industry has ceased to be
seasonal" Mr.. Coolican declares.
plants everywhere are active, al
though some of them are working on
shorter schedule This means that
thous;i upon thousands of work
men who once were forced out tside of
their regular work in order to Inain-
tain their families i'm Winter, nuw are
able TO continue on The job throughout
the year.
This means that there is no break
ing up of home life and there is no
disruption to the school work of thou
sands of children. 1t has become 50
that the skilled worker the man who
establishes his home In any of the
great automobile production centers
can de- SO with the knowledge that
he can remain there.
Naturally, there Is Il slight falling
off in employment at most of the
plants. This, however, involves a
relatively transient element that is
willing to move on to something new
and to whom moving is no hardship.
What is true Of the production side
of the industry is true also of the re-
tail end. Statesmen who once were
forced to live on their income made
during the Spring, Summer and Fall
have learned that 1t is possible to
scatter their earning capacity through
out the II months of the year"

The day of the piston with four

But now that crankcaSe ventila-
