Maryland Officials Consider
Means of Coping With In
creased Traffic.

Maryland traffic authorities, State
and municipal, are confronted with
serious problem Of policing and regu-
lation within the cities and smaller
towns as weather conditions bring In
creased use of State highways. With
the opening of Spring this question
calls imperatively for solution. r..
Austin Baughman, motor vehicle COM
missioner, says.
The State police and the automo-
bile commissioner department have
in the past gladly co-operated with the
town and small city authorities and
will so continue" says Mr.. Baughman,
''bu; the type of assistance must un-
dergo change. We cannot loan
State police officers to take care Of
traffic conditions within the municipal
limits for whole days at a time. The

ton to this contribution to the Ma

is worth noting that the State will
complete this year half her system of
7.640 miles of secondary and primary
roads.
''In addition to work in Missouri.
there has been a great deal of devel-
opment in Iowa and as far north as
the Dakotas, also on the Yellowstone

new stretches Of transcontinental

MORE ROADS READY
FOR TOURIST RUSH
Heavy Increase in Auto
Traffic This Season Pre-
dicted by A. A. A.

A tremendous increase in transcon-
tinental touring during the 1926 sea
son is forecast by officials of the
American Automobile Association.
The opening of several new, long
stretches of hard-surfaced roads on
the East to West lanes of travel will
be the largest factor in swelling the
volume of cross country motoring, the
A. A. A. believes.
Taking stock of the through roads
used for heavy motor travel, the A.
A. A. finds that great developments
have taken place since the closing OF
the 1925 touring season. Particular
attention was called to the opening
on January ! of the new TRANSMITS
souri, highway Federal highway No
40. from ST Louis to Kansas City
which gives the motorist an additional
PCS miles of hard surfaced road.
Long Stretch Now Ready.
With the opening of the new Mis-
souri, highway. there is now available
1.152 miles of what is practically
through pavement from the zero
milestone in Washington, to Topeka,
kans., and 1886 miles of all-weather
road from Boston to Topeka. Other
new stretches opened recently will
practically close the girdle of pave
ment binding the Atlantic seaboard
to the heart of the continent.
"Of the highway links recently
opened or about to be opened, the one
to which the motoring public has
looked forward with the keenest in
terest is unquestionably the new high
wav across the State of Missouri, '
Thomas p Henry, president of the
American Automobile Association, de
clared He continued
Right on the line of travel, Mis-
souri, has for many years been boSie
to the motor tourist. The State was
almost as well known for the muddy
and often impa sSable condition of her

But the Missouri mud bogie has been
laid to rest and need never trouble
motorists again. unless it he the

Keep These in Mind.

After the clutch has been adjusted
(even if there has been merely an ad-
justment of the pedal position) shift
ing into second from high should be
done with great caution. A driver
who has his shifting down pat is
very likely to slam the gears into sec
ond-or try tO-without taking into
considera ton the fact that the change
in the clutch adjustment may neces-
state his learning all over again the
best position for shifting.

Door locks receive a lot of wear and

FACTORY BUSINESS
GAINS IN FEBRUARY
364,618 Cars and Trucks
Put Out, IS Per Cent Gain
Over January.

New gains in factory business were
recorded by the automobile industry
during February. with an output of
cars and trucks estimated at 364,61S
on the basis of re 1orts to the National
Automobile Chan Der of Commerce.
This represents a gain of Is per cent
over the mark of Ja nuary and 81 per
cent over that of February. 1925.
While heavy snow slowed up sales
in some localities. the active snow re-
moval in the various States made this
much less of a factor in most parts of
the country than has been the case
in the past.
A large amount of Southern touring
recorded in all sections south of the
Mason and Dixon line has been an
other element in maintaining Win
ter demand The Florida sales have
not played a very large part In tire
Southern total. but registrations in
all the Dixie States in the aggregate
are increasing more rapidly than in
any other part of the country. Gains
are particularly strong at this time

With indications that before the
approaching SUMMER is over nearly
100. 900 more Maryland cars will be.
travelling over the States highways.
to say nothing of like proportion of
increase in the out of-State cars over
last year and with the open country
mileage of improved highways that
must be patrolled by the State police
growing greater at an average rate
of $50 miles season, something
should be done to meet the situation.
Every available highway officer

the open roads. If the reckless
driver. the 'hit-and-run" criminal,
the potential speed king and the
drunken drivers who make the coun-
try roads dangerous to all their
users are to be kept in check. the
policy of allowing State police to do
sustained periods of duty within the
towns must stop.
Duty of Cities and Towns.
Unless the cities and towns,
through their representatives in the
next legislature will get behind and
help support appropriations for a
larger State police force, they are
going TO be compelled TO provide out
Of their own taxes for their own

comprehensive and modern manner.

This will mean increased motor trat-

Foreign Demand Growth.
"A strengthening factor in the mo-
tor business is the rapid growth In
foreign demand. Exports amounted To
$50 900 vehicles in 1928, an increase of
A. per cent over the year before.
Within three years this trade will
reach 900 900 cars and trucks an
nually.
From the earliest days of the au-
tomobile business there have always
been casual observers who wondered
how so many motor vehicles could be
sold. To those we'll informed on the
industry and on human nature. the
answer is simple. People want to
travel. They must travel in their
business and they want to travel for
recreation. Motor transport Is a major
industry supplying this demand.

Kill decided after several years of
married life that there was no
such thing as happiness together.
So they agreed to separate. A

another woman and suggested to
his wife that she consent to his
marriage. She consented on com
dition that he would not complain
if she married another man. So
both took new mates and all would
have been serene had the police
not learned of the situation and
arrested both couples. Both Won
Lerkil and his wife have been sent
