The Spanish Sun Porch.
BY ELIZABETH STETS0N,

We class our italian and Spanish

The Italian and Spanish styles OF
architecture at this period have much

hard-moided platter walls on the in

HIGH SPEED LIMITS
HELD TRAFFIC AIDS
Head of Auto Company Urges Lift
ing Low Mileage to
Get Relief.

Higher speed limits in all sections
of the United States are essential In
the reduction Of traffic hazards and
the relief of congestion on the high
ways. Legislative bodies in the vari-
Gus States must recognize this fact
and act accordingly.
Such is the opinion of e. L. Cord,
president of the Auburn Automobile
Co.. who says:
Greater speed is inevitable 1t is
just as essential that speed limits be
advanced as it was that railroads
adapt themselves to changed condi.
tons and build motive equipment
capable of greater speed.
"Stagnation becomes a party to sat
isfaction. Business that fails to
progress no longer remains, business.
The order Of the present day is
greater speed, and the sooner we real
lie this fact the sooner we will adapt
ourselves to the new order.
"The automobile industry was the
first to recognize this change. Cars
capable of IS miles per hour were re-
designed into models capable of twice
that speed. The older cars were built
slower, heavier and with less braking
capacity than those Of the present day.
Cars travelling 80 miles per hour,
equipped with two wheel brakes, took
as much road space to bring to stop
as present models travelling 60 miles
an hour and equipped with four-wheel
brakes. Danger in automobile travel
has been reduced TO a minimum
through mechanical projections.
"Of course, there should be linita-
tons imposed. I would have all driv.
ers entering highways from side
streets stop. Those cautious persons
who wish to drive slowly should re-
main close to the roadside"

FARM CROP METER

With the use of an automobile TO

The meter consists of a number
of counting registers. like bicycle

ence to the speedometer drive shaft
of an automobile that any one of
them may be engaged or disengaged
at will. When engaged they measure

I'm addition to these instances, we

many similar gestures on the part of
other older manufacturing concerns.
1t means simply that every motor car

ing that it has become necessary to

great significance, Mr.. Jose believes.
1t involves much more than that. he
says. The whole question Of trans

NEW AUTO CODES
FAVOR MOTORISTS
Regulations Now in Effect
Remove Hardships
for Tourists.

Motorists touring the United States
this season will find more lust and
equitable traffic codes prevailing in
most of the towns and villages
throughout the country as a result of
the movement toward uniform traffic
regulations. Especially will the mo-
torist notice the absence of the reac.
lonary and restrictive local codes, &C.
cording to a statement by the Ameri-
can Automobile Association.
Removal of the once ubiquitous
"Speed-limit 15-miles-an-hour'' sign
from the entrances to towns and viii
lagos is one of the results of this
movement, says Thomas p. Henry,
president of the association, in the
statement.
'An excellent measure of success
has marked these efforts in hundreds
of communities, and in this officials
OF the national motoring body see a
f1ne stimulus to touring created" he
says,
Perspective Improved.
THE circumscribed views on motor
vehicle movement held by local au-
thorities in many parts of the country
have been supplanted by a much bet
ter perspective. The narrow, distorted
vision of traffic that every tourist has
found at one time or another in both
small and large centers rapidly is CIV
ing way to broad, sane policy as the
automobile club presents motordom' s
case to the local legislators.
ITO the credit of the municipal Off.
Gals generally. they not only have
revealed a willingness to listen but to
learn and to be as fair and just as the
most sanguine could hope. When
they were told, as in many cases they
were. that the local regulations were
Feactionary and successful chiefly in
driving away business, they usually
gave their close attention to the clubs
spokesman or committee. This same
attitude was manifest in many mu-
inequalities adjacent to the cities in
which the club headquarters were To-
cated''
Among the advantages which have
come to the motorist as result of
this campaign by the motor clubs are
less rigid and restrictive speed regu-
lations reflected in the disappearance
of hundreds Of signs specifying Speed
limit Is miles an hour" more reason
able parking regulations, fewer con.
fusing bans on driving practices that
are generally approved, a broader ten
dency to warn instead of arrest the
traveller and general trend toward
leniency where violation of the regu-
lation palpably was caused by ignor-
ance.
Probably the most welcome i'm.
provement wrought is that which has
brought to many communities more
liberal speed limit law" Mr.. Henry
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1927-06-12

Motor car manufacturers have seen
the handwriting on the wall and are
getting ready for the not far-distant
day when millions of families will add
a second car to their transportation
equipment. More than 100000 fanli-
lies already have taken this step, and
the current months are seeing thou
sands Of others doing likewise.
The fact that car makers see gen
eral two-car ownership just around the
corner is evidenced in their haste to
supplement their older lines with a
new car, either in a higher or lower
price class, although In most cases 1t
is the latter.
These points are made by Rudolph
Jose, veteran of % years in local auto
motive trade circles, who declares that
the o-the-family trend has
made the old saturation point DOGGY
less potent than it has been at any
time in the last 10 years" The auto
mobile, he adds, has passed so com.
pletely from the status of a luxury
to that of an absolute necessary that
millions are finding themselves I'M
necessarily handicapped and restricted
until a second car Is added to their
transportation facilities.
Many New Cars Announced.
1.-THE current season has been
marked by the announcement OF more
new cars than any similar period In
the last decade" says Mr.. Jose. I'm
most cases it will be found that these
new cars are companion products to
of established reputation
and not newcomers to the field. 1t
finds its reflection in all parts of the
industry--in the lower price field and
in the higher.
I'm the past few weeks we have
seen the maker OF one of the most
popular four-cylinder cars turn to a
secondary cara six--selling in a
higher price class. This instance is
unique, for usually the supplemental
car ID in q lower cost tier. However,
it lends emphasis to the clear recogni-
ton the industry has that the two'car
era is Just around the corner.
