The national motor ing body points out that highway ex- perts, jurists and traffic authorities throughout the country are coming to realize. after careful investigation, that crowded conditions caused by slow-moving traffic contribute more to the appalling number of accidents on the highways than the efficiently han dled motor car moving at a fair rate of speed.

A survey by the Organization shows that within the | last three years twenty-three states have eliminated obsolete speed limits. | Aviation Permits Aviation enthusiasts of Putnam who aspire to learn to fly may now procure student aviator permit in the course of twenty-four hours under a new sys- tenn being established by the aeronau- tics branch of the Departmel.t of Com merce, where under the old system de- { lays of one month were occasioned in many cases
