NEW YORK, Dec. "a (I.N.S, THE
bugaboo of Congressional tinkering
with the Federal reserve act in such
a way as to choke off the money
supply from the stock market loomed
large in Wall Streets vision as the.
market started its fifth big week to,

left. and the downward move IN
prices, which started on Saturday.
continued in every, sections pf the
market, with losses la the first hour
ranging from 2.6 points.
Time to get out and take profits,
said the polls, which have furnished
the clrief ballyhoo of the Hoover bull
market.
1t Was no secret in Wall Street
that the bulls are afraid of the
money situation. There is plenty
Of money in this country, but it has
been drawn on so heavily to keep
the speculative pot boiling that the
purse strings are tightening up. The
big corporations which have loaned
their money at fancy interest rates
are calling funds TomeWard for
their own use. Money will be,
needed in December for the holiday
trade and the bond market,
. A Big selling wave broke over,
the market, carrying the bulk .of
the favoritcs downward. The
bulge" in Yellow Cab collapsed,
bringing the stock back to around

Strict Enforcement of Headlight
Laws Declared Urgent Traffic Need

The experience of States and munich
palities which have put into effect and
insisted on strict enforcement OF ap-
proved and efficient headlight laws
proves conciusively that it Is quite
within the power Of motordom to re-
move the glare evil from the high
ways, according TO the research and
legislative division OF the American
Automobile Association
The observation OF the national mo-
toring body is based on comparison
of the 'encouragingly small" percent
age Of maladjusted automobile lights IN
communities where enforcement OF
headlight laws Is rigidly insisted on. as
compared with the "deplorable situa-
ton where both the law and enforce
ment Is lax Says the statement
Cars involved in % 800 accidents IN
New York State were examined by
traffic experts and only twenty-four
had glaring headlamps, Forty~elght
other machines had either one or both
lights miSsing--old cars. TWO dozen
other automobiles had tail lights OBJ
scured or out of service.
In Connecticut during a recent year
a total of 1900 automobile accidents
occurred. Only 35 per cent OF these
smash-ups and collisions resulted from
defective equipment Less than one
half Of one per cent had their origin in
binding headlamps.

MORE MOTOR SERVICE
ASKED FOR MAIL LINES
Improved Roads Have Brought De-
mand for Rural Extensions,
Says Auto Group.

Improved highways have created
such demand for the extension of
mai. deliveries that the Post Office De-
partment is asking Congress TO change
existing legislation 20 enable IL to meet
the rapidly changing conditions in the
motor vehicle service
The extent to which the highways
are used III this basic part of the
Nations economic life justifies what
motor6om has long predicted would be
the ultimate result of the Improvement
program. largely through the impetus
OF Federal aid
motoring body. has brought the rufal
resident in closer touch with the things
that affect his welfare and the natural
result has been a gigantic increase in
the need for better postal service. II
is estimated that II per cent of all
mail originating in the United States
is ultimately delivered TO patrons on
rural routes Latest figures of the
postal service show that 44.730 rural
routes are serving about 7.252.000 fam
lilies. or about 24475,000 persons
Periodic additions to the Post ONCE
Departments motor feet, through pur-
chase and contract. has made possible
,he consolidation of routes, which has
& cilitated service without materially
ID hanging the delivery to patrons. This
mas been largely accomplished by
changes as improved highways are
extended.
Public preference for motor carriers
has resulted in railroads taking OF a
number of local trains and the depart
ment is now asking Congress TO pass
legislation TO provide for transportation

To improve service"
