No two cities in the United States,
these experts observe, have exactly
the same set OF rules and system OF
markings to aid movement of traf-
fic in safety. Their plan is to urge
Ell cities to join in the adoption OF
a uniform system, which all motor
lists can readily understand and
obey. The code, drawn up as the
result Of the two year study, soon
will be placed in the hands Of city
traffic officials, engineers and
manufacturers Throughout the coun-
try.
re the code II adopted nationally,
motorists driving from coast TO
coast would be guided by signs and
signals Of uniform size and OF the
same color combinations. They
would know that a red signal would

Of A~fghanistan as involving a battle

His followers were stated by the

surrounded kabul.
They were planning TO drive from
the throne H~ubibullah Khan, who
forced Amanullah's brother 10 alb
dicate. The minister expressed con-
fidence that Amanullah would soon
be back in control.
Another tribal leader was stated
in a dispatch from Peshawar, In
dis, to have joined in the fighting.
He was Mslik Ghauseddin, leader Of
the Ghilzsi tribes in an expedition
against royal troops. His followers
claimed he had supreme power in
knost province.
Sir Austen. Chamberlain, British
foreign secretary. speaking in the
house of commons. said Amanullah
had formally announced his abdi-
cation to the British government.
Consequently until il was clear that

British government would be unable
to regard Amanullah's government
