nation that may come to you as to
experience with the burning of head
lights or other means for identifying
funeral professions"
The problem of distinguishing motor
cars which form a part of a process
sion long has been a vexatious one to
traffic officers, as well as to motorists
and pedestrians. A funeral cortege
has the right of way in most cities;
and now, when the majority OF the
cars of such a procession are prf-
vately owned, 1t is impossible to dis
tinguish them from other cars in the
street unless some distinctive mark
of Identification is carried. At first
windshield stickers were tried. but
motorists objected to these.
However, the burning OF both head
lights, as suggested by Mr.. Gawler
and as tried out successfully in a
number of other cities, makes all cars
which are members of the procession
easily distinguishable by traffic OFF,
GERS. as we'll as others. and the pro
cession then can go forward undis-
turbed. This plan has received the
approval Of traffic authorities, as Well
as motorists, In all cities where it has
been utilized. according to Mr.. Gawler.

HOLDS USE OF HAND SIGNALS
AID TO TRAFFIC EFFICIENCY
COORDINATION in Washington While Driv-
ing in Proper Lane Essential, Is View
of Automobile Distributor.

Coordination Of hand signals with
driving in the proper lane VIII bring
about a sharp increase in traffic eff
cheney in Washington. such syn
Chrouization is essential 10 the deri-
walton of fullest benefit from the
city's traffic regulations. Failure TO
follow such coordination is materially
slowing up the movement OF vehicles
in the National Capital
That the need for obedience to and
enforcement Of these vital provisions
of the traffic code has become abso-
utely imperative is the opinion of
Oscar Cooncan. local Packard distrib-
utor, who contributes these obserya-
tons on the movement of motor cars
in Washington.
lie points out that the giving of
signals and proper lane driving are
basic principles OF traffic movement.
Until they are practiCed and under
stood by every motor vehicle operator,
he says, the system of traffic control
and safe speed inevitably must fail.
Adoption of the single signal-the
extended arm--for every change in
traffic movement has made it abso-
lutely imperative that every driver
know in which lane he should be trav-
cling when he intends TO make a
right or left turn. proceed straight
ahead or stop" says Mr.. Coolican.
THE signal now used in Washington
is that recommended by the Hoover
Conference ON Street and Highway
Safety and il unquestionahiy has its
advantages if used properly. ncor-
rectly used, as it is by thousands of
drivers, it is worse than no signal"
Mr.. Cooican suggests the following
formula faI, 1t.iX
For right turns-Get in the traffic
lane nearest the curb. Stay there and
give a signal in plenty of time and
long enough for every other driver
to be apprised Of ones intention to
turn right. 1t it is necessary to keep
an arm extended for a whole block,
do so.
For left turns-Cfet in the lane near
est the center of the street Extend
the arm far enough for it to he seen
and continue the signal until the
turn has been started,
For proceeding straight ahead~-If
the street is wide enough, get in the
lane between the traffic lines that are
turning right and left

ACTION IS PLEDGED
ON FUNERAL MARK
Trainers of Uniform Traffic
Code TO Study Plan to
Burn Lights.

The question of burning headlights
as a means of identifying automobiles
which form an integral part of a
funeral procession, thus assuring
them the right of way and permitting
them to proceed without delay, will
be taken up by the National Confer
ence on Street and Highway Safety
when that body begins study of
uniform traffic ordinances. This in
formation is contained in a letter
from Col A. r. Barber, director Of
the National Conference on Street
and Highway Safety, to Walter A.
Gawler, Washington mortician, who
has urged this means of identification
for such professions.
Mr.. Gawler called the attention of
Secretary Of Commerce Herbert
Hoover, chairman Of the safety CON
ferences. to this method of distin-
gushing funeral corteges. Mr.. Cav
ler's letter to Secretary Hoover was
turned over by the latter to Col Bar
Der. who is in daily touch with de-
tailed traffic problems and safety
measures Notification that the ma
tional conference would take up the
matter was contained in Il letter from
Col. Barber to Mr.. Gawler.
The letter reads. in part:
1.-THE National Conference on Street
and Highway Safety has not at the
present time any committee working
on matters Of this character. 1t is
possible, however, that a study may
be undertaken of the subject of uni
form traffic ordinances, in which case
the important question raised by your
letter will be brought up.
"In the meantime l should be
grateful if you would let me have,
from time to time, any further intor-

APPEALS AGAINST
! RECKLESSDR|v
Auto Association Head Urges
Motorists to Show no
LenienCy.

Reckless driving is a much dis
cussed subject at this time and it is
utterly lacking in defenders. Precise
definition of what constitutes this kind
of car operation would go far toward
detecting it and stamping it out IN the
opinion of Ernest n. Smith, general
5nanager of the American Automobile
Association.
"a great deal of driving that is reck-
less beyond legal doubt is lost to
sight because too many motorists look
upon IL as a violation Of some SpeClhc
regulation that is entirely too minor 10
fit the case. When. for instance, u
man is seen driving 80 miles an hour
within q city's limits, it is custom
airy to regard his action as a violation
of the speed regulations There's a
speeder.' we say. More accurately and
more in the interest of safety we
should say There's a reckless driver
We might be lenient with safe
speeder. 1t is not fair to be lenient
with a reckless driver.
Here is. / believe, d good definition
of recklessness:
Driving any vehicle when not legal
ly qualified.
Driving while intoxicated
Driving any vehicle when it is not
under practical control, especially at
cross walks
Failing to exercise due care in
crossing or entering the traffic of an
other highway bearing in mind that
one must not interrupt the traffic on
the more travelled thoroughfare.
Driving any motor vehicle across
or into q safety zone.
Exceeding a reasonable, considerate
and safe speed under existing con-
ditions or the speed rate established
by law.
violating any of the regulations so
as to cause danger, or failing TO take
every reasonable precaution for safety.
IF d driver never does any of these
things, he never will be reckless and
he will not be primarily to blame in
b possible accident.
The American Automobile AssoCi-
alton stresses this last point in its con-
tinuing campaign for safety"

of highway development in that State.
AS at present contemplated, most of
these funds viii be spent in widening.
strengthening and improving existing
roads rather than in building new
roads, according to the motor club.
since II has been demonstrated in the
past that roads do not develop travel.
but that travel develops roads.
While the estimates made are
general, il is believed that they are
fairly accurate. In round numbers.
1t is expected that the State taxes on
motor vehicles will bring about SEA.
100000 during the present year. The
highway bill, which is expected to
pass the Legislature. will bring an
additional 100000 in State funds.
Federal appropriation for forest roads
and Federal aid of State roads will
approximate $500 900. making a
total turned into the State of
S37 500 900.
Half of the gasoline tax collected

absolute experimentation OF signaling
and correct position
At present traffic is greatly delayed
because drivers make right turns from
any position, Mr. Coolican points out.
This unquestionably is the worst
faul1 of Washington traffic, and COM
pletely nullifies the opportunity pre-
sented by the arterial highways and
increasingly high speed limits for a
far more rapid yet safe movement Of
motor vehicles. ne SAYS.
