raises the question as to what per cent

out by Thomas j. Keefe, general man.
ager of the American Motorists Asso-
citation.
National figures are not available to
answer this question" Mr.. Keefe states.
"A close approximate, however may be
obtained from an analysis of the aIpli-
cations for automobile license permits in
the State of New Jersey. The figures
show that during 1927 there were 49,
494 persons examined for permits, and
of this number 28,877, or 1913 per cent,
were found to be unfit to operate an
automobile commensurate with safety,
and were therefore rejected. OF the
number found unfit 1903 were dis
qualified because of their inability to
ten test.
Accepting the approximate figure of
1913 per cent in New Jersey as being
unfit out of 145,49 applicants, by the
same standards this would mean that
there are hundreds of thousands Of au-
tomobile operators in the States where
permits are not required that are an
actual menace to others on the high
ways" Generel Manager Keefe declares.
The association points out further
that in numerous States the courts have
accepted the so-called dangerous in
strument act" holding that an automo-
bile is a dangerous instrument.
I'm the light of the courts decision,
thus defining an automobile, 1t would
seem to follow that the operator of an
automobile should be properly licensed"

SEEN In AIRPLANE
Executive Cites Coordination as
Important Transportation
Step.

The automobile has not and perhaps
will never entirely replace the railroad
train, according to Russell E.; Gardner.
jr.. president in the automobile indus
try. 1t has not yet entirely replaced horse
drawn vehicles, and probably will not
for many years to come. Progress means
transportation, or rather the thorough
utilization of every available method of
transportation. Each of these methods
has it's distinct place in the personal.
business and industrial activities Of the
Nation, he said. In the coordination
of the several major methods lies the
solution of the transportation problem
in this country, Mr.. Gardner continued.
"The airplane and aerial navigation
are today proven facts, both having
long since graduated from the expert
mental stage into an actuality, with the
means of sky trafflc for both passengers
and freight" he added.
Transportation has ever been. and
will always be. the very life blood of bus
mess and industry, so there comes at
regular intervals in the march of prog
ress, a need for increased transportation
facilities of an entirely new and differ
ent type. Inc alrplane Is To-Day meeting
this requirement, not, however, In any
sense of replacing the automobile or
any major method of transportation, but
as a vitality important addition with
which to supplement efficiently the sew
eral other transportation methods now
in use.
1.-The railroads, as well as the auto
mobile industry, are benefiting and will
continue to benefit from the airplane
industry in many ways as this industry
requires the transportation of machin-
cry, building materials and numerous
other commodities that go into the
manufacture of airplanes and into the
construction of airports. The airpIane
by reason of the type of transportation
in which it is the chief factor, will not
supplant the automobile for generations
to come, If ever. One is today the chief
and most universal method of ground
transportation ever devised and the
other Is the chief method of aerial trans
portation in which greater strides have
been made in the past five of ten years
than in all the history of aviation. The
progress already made in both automo-
bile and airplane design and manufac-
ture, as well as in both ground and
aerial transportation, is small compared
to the strides that will undoubtedly be
made in the next decade"
