Coolidge, in his address to the assem-
bled delegates, said:
During the entire nineteenth CEN
fury intercourse between the Pam
American Republics was exceedingly
difficult, and this isolation proved a
serious obstacle to closer understand
ing. The twentieth century, however.
and especially the last 10 years. have
witnessed astonishing changes in this
respect. Transportation by water has
become rapid, comfortable and rela-
lively inexpensive Shipping facilities
from the United States have been
largely improved Moreover, our Gov
eminent is keenly interested in tncreaS-
ing their efficiency. Railroad lines have
been extended so that it will soon be
possible to travel with practically no
interruption from the northern border
of the United States to the southern
border of Ell Salvador. and IN South
America from Peru to Patagonia.
During very recent years every gov
eminent of this hemisphere has been
giving special attention to the building
of highways, partly with view to es-
tablishing feeder lines to railroad sys-
TENS, but also to provide greater ar
teries of inter American communication
for motor transport and passenger We
hicles. On the wall of my private Of
fee hangs map showing proposed
highways connecting the principal
points of our two continents.
II shall ask the Congress of the
United States to authorize sending en-
gineers and technical advisers, the same
as we send military and naval advis-
ers when requested by other countries
| plemented by the establishment of avia-

republics a channel of interchange

TRAFFIC OFFICERS
WORK INCREASES
A. A. A. Urges Adoption of
Uniform Ordinance
as Remedy.

Another argument for the immediate
adoption of the uniform municipal traf-
fc ordinance was advanced today by
the American Automobile Association
in making public preliminary figures of
Nationwide survey of traffic-control
conditions
Following are some OF the striking
facts developed by the survey of the
national motoring body
l. There are on the average 1000
automobiles to every traffic officer in
the metropolitan areas of the country,
as compared with 500 per officer 10
years ago.
2. Car registration in the cities COW
cred by the survey increased 326 per
cent, as compared with an increase OF
33 per cent in the number of traffic
officers in the 10-year period.
| g. Only five cities. namely, Boston
Louisville, Worcester. Cleveland and Du-
| luth showed percentage of increase in
traffic-control personnel equal to the
| gain in car registration.
| 4. In the case of two cities, Chicago
and Toledo. with an increase of more
than 200 per cent in motor vehicle reg
istration, the number of traffic officers
has been actually decreased in the 10.
year period.
5. Los Angeles showed the greatest
/ increase in both registration and traffic.
control personnel, with 1880 per cent fol
the former and ATS per cent for the
| latter.
The survey is based on a question.
naire addressed by the safety depart
ment of the A. A. A. to the police de.
partments of so cities. ranging in pop.
ulation from $4,000 to over 5000, 900
from 20 of which detailed returns were
secured,
"One conclusion" said the natiora
motoring body, stands out. 1t is per.
fectly apparent that the responsible,
of the average traffic officer has great,
increased in recent years. 1t is true
of course, that mechanical control ha:
to some extent acted as a substitute fol
personnel, but this has been largely of.
set by the increased completely of traf
fic regulations.
Most traffic personnel may be neces
sary in the interest of law enforcement
but what Is needed above all is the sim
plif1cation of driving conditions. Thi!
can be accomplished through the uni.
versal adoption of the uniform munich
pal trafic ordinance"

CARBON MONOX|DE
DANGERS FOUGHT
Research Planned to Elm.
mate Peril and Warn
Public.

For the purpose of furnishing thu
public with authentic information con-
corning the subject of automobile ex-
Elaust gases and the danger or lack of
danger resulting from the pollution of
the atmosphere with such gases a Joint
committee has been formed to encourage
research and investigation toward the re-
duction of the amount of carbon mo-
noxide formed in automobile operation
and to attempt to eliminate this entirely
il possible.
This committee is constituted of dele
gates from the American Automobile
Association. American Chemical Society,
American Medical Association, American
Petroleum Institute, American Public
Health Association. Motor Truck Asso-
citation of America. National Association
Of Taxicab Owners. National Safety
Council. Society of Automotive Engi-
neers. United States Bureau Of Mines,
and United States Public Health Serv-
ice
From information at hand regarding
the amount of carbon monoxide TO
which the public Is exposed and the
probable effects of such amounts. the
committee is led to believe that no
alarming condition exists in the thor
oughfares. However. in confined places,
such as some cab stands. inclosed drive
ways and commercial garages. the car
bon monoxide health hazard is more
pronounced. The educational efforts of
the committee will be directed particu-
larry to correcting conditions that are
wrong in such places.
Evidence that the subject of carbon
monoxide research is being watched
| with attention is the interest shown In
an article on THE Automotive Phases Of
Carbon Monoxide Research" that was
published in the S. A. E. Journal for
May. 1923. Requests for reprints of this
have represented interest abroad as we'll
as In this country, and have come from
Government and State bureaus. uni
versities. associations. and commercial
organizations.
