WISH AUTO LIGHTS
SEEN FROM SIDES
Experts Ask Engineers Whether
Lack of Illumination Is
Dangerous.

Present automobile lighting systems
are now so constructed and installed
that it is possible to view the car from
he side without being able to see the
light from the lamps at all. This is
particularly true when the head-lampS
are dimmed and when the weather con-
ditionS are bad This situation has
aroused so much interest on the part of
many who are concerned with safety
work that Col Barber of the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States has
called the attention of the Society of
Automotive Engineers to it and spe-
cial subcommittee has been authorized
by the society to consider the matter.
1t is possible that recommendation
will be made to the National Confer
ence on Street and Highway Safety for'
a requirement that motor vehicle lamps
be constructed so that their light shall
be visible from all angles when viewing
the car. The chief engineers of motor
car companies have been asked by the
society whether the lack Of side
illumination is a real source of danger,
what construction they would recon-
mend to make the light visible from
all angles, and what action they would
recommend should be taken. With
reference to the last question, the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber of Com
merce has asked for the advice of the
S. A. E. before taking a position itself
in the matter.

TOURISTS DRAWN
TO NEW BRUNSWICK
Canadian Authorities Report
Increase in Auto Travel
From U. S.

Tourist travel to New Brunswick,
Canada, shows a sustained increase of
more than 80 per cent. according to sta
tistics gathered by the New Brunswick
Government Bureau of Information and
Tourist Travel covering the 1923 sea-
son up to August 81.
Permits issued for tourists automo-
biles from the United States at Cana
dian customs houses at international
boundary points in this province for
stays of longer periods than "a hours
totaled 2l.368 up to August 81 for the
present season, as compared with 17019
for the corresponding period of last
year, an increase of Is per cent, and 1t
is estimated that touring parties at
tracted to New Brunswick from On
tario and Quebec and the other mari
time provinces this year have been twice
as numerous as last year, making the
gross increase in tourists coming to
New Brunswick more than 80 per cent
over last year.
The figures showing the number OF
U1ited States touring parties entering
New Brunswick are supplied by the Fed
eral national revenue department and
are official These show that 228,869
United States owned automobiles enter
ed New Brunswick this season up to
August 81 through the % ports of entry
in this province along the international
boundary. Of this number 1858 cars
with touring parties were granted per-
mits for stays of periods up to so days,
as compared with 1909 similar permits
issued up to the corresponding date of
last year. In other words. these 21,368
cars carried touring parties coming into
New Brunswick for periods longer than
"a hours and brought genuine tourists
into this province for vacations up to
as long as 60 days.
The returns which are made public
show August as the banner month for
tourist travel from the United States.

commodations for about 40 people each
night at the former place and for about
16 people at the latter. Also meals will
be obtainable at these points.
In view of road reconstruction Under
way in the park the east entrance from
Sylvan Pass to Lake Yellowstone will
be closed to traffic after September 25,
while the road through Gibbon Canyon
between Norris junction and Madison
Junction will be kept open to traffic
only about or 4 days each week.
More than 100000 people will have
passed through the portals of the park
and viewed and enjoyed its wonders be-
fore that final curtain is rung down for
the 1923 season. which constitutes an
increase of about 10000 over the past
year. Thus, new record for travel will
be hung up for the Yellowstone.

ITALY PERFECTS
SPEED ROAD PLAN
Grade Level intersections to
Be Eliminated in New
Highway System.

Well paved roads connecting all prin-
cipal Italian cities, and without road
level intersections is the highway flu
ture assured motorists in Italy, accord
ing to E. E. Duffy, highway educational
writer. This system Of "autostrada,"
as they are called. is not a dream to
be Consummated just before the arrival
of the millennium, for good portion has
already been built and other links are
under construction.
The autostrada are high-speed roads.
The elimination of intersections by
means of underpasses and overpasseS
has made fast travel over them safe.
Where branch roads connect with the
high-speed highway, drivers desiring to
travel on the latter can only do so
when a Waterman permits them to en-
ter through swinging gate.
1858 Miles.
"Il Duce" recently signed a measure
creating an autonomous body which
already has assumed full charge of the
autostrada system. This autonomous
body will supervise, the. construction of
Is, 900 kilometers ll5,538 miles, OF
highways. most of which will be per-
manently paved. 1t is the plan to con-
meet all of Italy's important cities, max
ing travel to the capital city of Rome
especially easy and desirable. At first
all main arteries leading away from the
larger cities will be paved for dis
lance of SO kilometefs
Something new in the way of high
way financing has been. introduced by
Italy in constructing the autostrada.
The highways are actually built by pri-
vate corporations with the aid of the
government, the government finally as
Stunning full ownership.
For example, the concrete Bergamo-
Milano road was built at a cost of IA
100000 Ira for the 1873 kilometers.
Stock was distributed to the private
company and bonds were sold to pri-
vate investors to got sufficient capital.
The government is contributing 1,000,-
600 Ira yearly for Is years, and at the
end of that time the highway will be-
come government property. The pri-
vate company is reimbursed through
| the collection of reasonable tolls. which
pay fair margin of profit and make
| first-class maintenance possible.
Through this toll system and method
of semi-private control Italy is getting
highway benefits that could be attained
| in no other way. The Italian highway
requirement is so great. as it is in other
countries, that private capital was nee
essarily called into play.

ton was made in October, 1925, with
397, 1882 such vehicles. The motor
truck production for August was
slightly under the highest previous
months production recorded, but the
combined total of passenger cars and
trucks was far in excess of previous
outputs.
For the year to date, including
August, auto production has reached a
total of 3.0Sl, 220 cars, which compared
with an output of 2,642,285 during

Secretary Whiting of the Commerce
Department declared that the situation
in the automobile industry has wide
bearings on business conditions and
general economic welfare" He added
that the August marks were "remarka-
BILE" because the month usually is not
so heavy as the Spring months.
