MOTOR TERMINAL PLAN URGED
TO SOLVE TRAFFIC ROBBINS
Structures Built Into Office Buildings Is
Recommended for the Crowded Bust
ness Districts In Large Cities.

Motor terminals built into Office
structures offer solution of the traf-
fic problem in the business districts OF
cities, DR.. Miller McClintock, director OF
the Erskine Bureau for Street TRAFFIC
Research Of Harvard University, de-
clares in report to the American In
stitute of Architects. This tendency, he
asserts, is so logical as to be inevitable.
"Vehicular traffic is increasing in i'm
portance," says DR.. McClintock. THE
25,000,00 registration point Of auto
mobilists has just been passed in sthe
United States. The next rs or 80 years
of automobiles in use in the United
States. Assuredly, If our present condi-
ton Of prosperity continues, that Is not
an unreasonable expectation.
Conditions in Typical Cities.
".In typical cities motor cars carry
into central districts from Is to rs pei
cent Of the entire number OF people who
come into the downtown area. The abil-
ity, therefore, of the Office building
structure to provide an attraction and
an accessibility for the use of those who
demand that their transportation be by
motor cars Is an important one.
Parking facilities are quite as i'm
portant as are thoroughfares. The cen.
trail district garage offers a solution
There appears to be deflnite antipathy
on the part OF coming officials, on the
part of many builders and on the part
Of many merchants who own properties
in central districts against the garage
In other words, many of them think oil
the garage as the converted livery stable
which was, Of course, an undesirable
neighbor.

in such a way that it is not only a very

MORE ROADS NEEDED
FOR DRIVING SAFETY
Doubling Of Mileage Required to
Equal Security of Ten Years
Ago, Says Research Bulletin.

CHICAGO, September 21.-The Unit
ed States would have to double its
mileage Of good roads Immediately II
1t cared to 60 back to the safety and
driving convenience Of 10 years ago,
according to a bulletin issued here by
the American Research Foundation.
This country now has an average of
80 motor vehicles to every mile of hard
surfaced roads," says the bulletin. "In
1918 the average was 20 cars to the
mile of hard-surfaced roads. The fig
ures show that in 1918 there were
6, 146, 900 motor cars running over 300,-
600 miles of surfaced roads, while in
1928 there were 24,493,000 motor cars
operating. on 625, 900 miles of surfaced
highways. This shows that it would
require 1,250,000 miles Of good roads
at the present moment to bring the
average back to 20 motor cars per mile.
THE problem of sufficient highway
space for the increasing number of mo-
tor cars is national in scope" says the
bulletin. 1.-THE Nations investment In
automobiles is more than $40, 1000 .000,-
600, and extensive touring of the mil
lions of units of this vast investment
makes all American roads one glorified
highway.
1.-THE steam engine almost wiped out
highways, but the automobile brought
them back and made them one of the
important factors in American pros
perity. The service Of great oil COM
panies like Standard and Sinclair in
gathering and refining petroleum and
purveying the finished product through
thousands of service stations along all
Highways, where motor fuel and lubri-
cants are always available for the au-
tomobilist, is just as large a factor in
the economic importance Of the high
way as the mass production of cars"

SENATE ACTION SEEN
AID TO AUTO TRADE
Approval Of League Ruling on I'm
port and Export Restrictions
Held Benefit to Industry.

The United States Senate has ratified
its second League of Nations Conven-
ton, For the Abolition of Import and
Export Prohibitions and Restrictions. I"
One Of the greatest benefits to the
United States from this treaty will be
to widen the markets in Europe for
the American automobile industry.
This convention was dug out of COM
mittee files by Senator Vandenberg of
Michigan, whose State is the center of
automobile manufacture. The Senator
said yesterday that the ratification of
this treaty and lifting of present import
restrictions by certain foreign countries
will open the markets for thousands
more American-made automobiles in
Europe"
The terms Of the convention make it
necessary that II nations shall have
ratified 1t by September 80. 1929, in
order that the convention shall go into
force. Therefore the United States
ratification has been mailed post haste
to Geneva, where 1t will arrive just in
time to be deposited at the secretariat
by September 80.
President Hoover. when he was Sec
rotary Of Commerce, Is said to have de-
clared q year ago In recommending this
League convention, that the United
States 'lnas nothing 70 lose and con-
siderable to gain" by its ratification.

on the same level he often finds them
protected by flashing and moving signs
and ringing bells.
Old-time Dust Hazard Removed.
ION dirt roads he finds that treat
ment by oils has removed the old-time
dust hazard. On both dirt and paved
roads he finds the trend Is toward
smoother, safer surfaces. Once dan
gerouS one-way bridges and traffic bot
tie necks are rapidly disappearing and
thousands Of dollars have been ex-
pended to build safety into new bridges
and approaches.
He finds the highway maintenance
forces and the State highway patrol
men enthusiastic in the cause of high
way safety and doing all they can to
encourage careful driving. He notices
other drivers paying careful attention
to traffic signals, using caution in en-
tering on q through roadway, giving
signals when turning out in traffic
slowing down or stopping at intersec-
tions or school zones, giving considera-
ton to fellow travellers.
There's only one conclusion that q
thinking niotorist can reach under
these conditions. That Is to put a.
much safety into his driving as he finds
built into his automobile and the Ma
tons roads"

Garage Placed Near Big Hotel.
"The largest capacity garage In the
United States is located in the heart of
the exclusive Park Square district in
Boston, and indeed it is q next-door
neighbor to one of the city's best hotels.
Assuredly no one conducting business
or any one interested in the preservation
OF the beauty of the city could object to
such structure, either from the stand
point OF its appearance or from the
standpoint Of the operations that are
carried on within it.
Yet many of our 1oninZ regula-
tions-many building laws-are such
that 1t Is financially impossible or
legally impossible at the present time
to construct adequate garage facilities
in the central parts of our cities. In
fact, one not unoccasionally finds q

illustrated to a far greater degree in

so far ahead of the rest Of the world in
motorizing highway transportation, the
cars built in Great Britain, France, Ger
many and other overseas countries have,
with some notable exceptions, small
chance Of being marketed on this side Of
the ocean, so few are sent here for pub
lie exhibition.
Have Added Incentive.
The American builders this year have
an added incentive to exhibit their
models abroad because they see in flu
;ure world trade development the highest
opportunity the automotive industry has
ever had.
How fast 1t is approaching is seen
by the recent National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce summary Of for
eign operations for the first six months
Of this year, which showed the automo-
bile to be the volume leader among the
exports of America for the first time
on record.
Exports Of automobiles parts and ac-
:esSories for the first half of 1929 totaled
1888, so, 900, an increase Of SO per cent
over the same period year ago. With
ports Of raw cotton, which had consti-
tuted the largest item in our foreign
trade, and which fell OF Is per cent.
Fifth Of Output Exported.
In approximate volume the automo-
tive exports now comprise one-fifth of
the total American production Of cars,
which Is expected to exceed 5,000,0 900 for
the present year.
The growing number Of companies
| that manufacture the bodies for the
cars they build has received an addition
in Packard. which recently has put in
| work. The equipment includes a fac
tory building for body assembly, stamp
ing machines and presses, and arc weld
ing machines.
The presses stamp back panels and
rear quarter panels out OF single sheets
| OF metal at one operation The Packard
| method calls for back and rear panels
| to be welded together, and then the
side panels of the roof with the front
cross piece of the roof.
Strengthening Joints.
Welding Is done by huge machines
which fuse the two metal sheets to-
gether by an electric flash more thsn
one yard long. The joint thus formed
Is stronger than the metal itself.
Welding processes now used in body
building, 1t is said are giving motor
car bodies an element of strength they
never had before.
For silence and the deadeninR OF
| sound one improvement now used Is
rubber lining cemented to the chassis
frame, upon which the body Is mounted
and which gives cushioning effect.

about to construct a shackle that

ADVANCING THE LEGISLATIVE DATE.

Under the Territorial Organic Act the Alaska Legislature meets every odd numbered year on the first Monday in March. Senator Dimond has intro duced a memorial that asks Congress to amend the present organic law by providing that the Legislature meet the third Monday in January Communica- tions have improved very materially since 1912 when Congress fixed the time for converting the Territorys lawmaking body There few radio stations in Alaska and the telegraph lines did not touch the more remote districts. The airplane still in a more or less experimental stage and anyone who had predicted that it would be commonly used mode of travel conveyance in the few short years that have passed since would have been the object of either pity or derision.
 As Senator Dlnond's memorial points out Janu ary is more convenient time for the legislative sessions than March. In the latter month prepara- tions are begun for the seasonal occupations which form so large part of Alaskan industry. Men are busy getting ready for the rush months Too often those who would make excellent Legislators have refused to become candidates for that very reason For these and other the Dimond memorial should be passed by the Legislature and fayoraby acted upon by Congress
 And while Congress is being asked to act in this matter, local Legislators might give study to the uusualy long interval of time that elapses between the primary and general election in the Territory This is a period of than six months from the latter part of April to the first week in November.

Good Policies for Alaska.
Seattle Times.)

Aaskas Governor, in his message to the ninth session of the Terrtorys Legislature, assembled at Juneau sponsors policies that merit approval of the lawmakers and that promise to effect further development of the Northland. Governor Parks em- phaszes the need of continued aid to prospectors, of moderate taxation and of cooperation with the Federal authorities in road construction.
 While the law to encourage prospecting hos been operative only few years it has proved it's eff cacy. The enactment may require changes, but the tendency should be liberal instead of re- strictve
 taxation program providing lower leves, as advocated by the Governor, not only will prompt extension of established business but also will in- duce the entry of enterprises. Decreased taxes would not impair government administration as slightly than $1,O0o0OO year would still be available for that purpose.
 Road improvements by the Territory, supple menta1y to the S80000O in annual work authorized by the recent Congress, would assure desired ad- ditions to existing highways, well as take care of their maintenance. Road facilities surpass in importance almost everything else. Without them search for minerals cannot be prosecuted with much success and investing capital will be reluctant to at tempt exploitation of other resources.

As Generalissmo of all the Allied armies the western front in the World War he became familiar figure to the entire world his name household word in America as well as in France.

 To him more than to any other leader military experts credit the eventual defeat of Germany and her allies From August 1914 to the end of the war it could be truly said of him that he never knew when he was defeated and not for a single instant did he lose confidence in eventual victory great spirit one that diversity could not down.

MT Dimond to introduce his memorial operative, should be. in cutting down the time between the two elections. It is longer than is required for a campaign for any office. Three months would be ample for all purposes Actually the Territory prob ably would be benefited if the primary could be held two months later say in June and the general election advanced month to the first part Of October More voters would be able to take part in both elections than is practicable under existing conditions, and the campaign would be shortened to about 90 days.
