In order to test the popularity of mo-

in conventions, the motoring organt-
cation offered both Shriners and Elks
free maps, road data and information
should they decide to attend the con-
vention by automobile. The response
from the Shriners, who met here in
June, was generous, but indications are
that the Elks will establish new rec
ord.
It developed that when convention
delegates found they could bring their
wives and families without using any
more gas or oil than needed to carry o
single person in the car, friend wife

band that she should accompany him
More wives and families attended the
Shriners' convention than at any time

Scores of inquiries are coming daily
from Elks in the East who intend to
motor to the annual gathering OF the

that the families are to be taken Tor

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Everybody in the United States can
take an automobile ride at the same
time II an average of Sc persons can
crowd into each available passenger car.
And II any one should be left behind
there are 3,113,999 trucks and 92,325
buses to transport the overflow.
These figures have been compiled by
the Department of Commerce, which
said that on January the United
States had 24,629,9 21 of the 32,028 ,584
motor vehicles. including buses and
trucks, in the world.
England was second with 1,l28,200,
France third, with 1895, 900, and Can
ada fourth, with 1,061 $50.
Bermuda had only one passenger car,
the Commerce Department said, law
passed in 1908 forbidding the use of
motor-propelled vehicles on the public
roads there. The single car was be-
lieyed to be one used for demonstra-
ton purposes in an engineering school.
The United States had 1853 per cent
Of the world supply of automobiles, in
GLIDING buses and trucks, and 1882
per cent of the passenger cars. While
there was one passenger car for every
Sc persons in the United States, the
world average was one car for every
20 persons.

traffic arteries must be built. and GER
tainly there must be some directing
agency to see that they are built and
built where there is the most need.
Not all, of course, but most communi-
ties, are growing with fair rapidity.
Many are growing at a fast pace, as
Miami, for example, whose population
has Increased 1913 per cent since 1925.
In days gone by cities and towns grew
without intelligent direction. Streets
for the most part were confined to that
age-old 4-rod width. Without proper
guidance, growing communities will find
themselves still laying out the same old
narrow routes which became inadequate
about the time blacksmiths began giving
up the anvil for automobile tools.
The city or regional planning COM
mission is usually placed under direc-
ton of an expert who Is conversant
with all the problems that go with
community growth. He co-operates
with all of the several local governing
bodies to be found in any community.
Through his suggestion and leadership
a good look Is taken at the future and
then preparations are made for 1t.
This may seem somewhat as luxury
to the citizen and taxpayer, but the at
tainments Of planning commissions In
dicate that through early consideration
Of inevitable problems the citizen will
be saved money and be enabled to live
in a better and more comfortable city.

TIME LOST BY DRIVERS .
IN TRAFFIC DISCUSSED

How much of the time that the aver
age driver loses in trafflc Is due to his
own mistakes?
Asking this question, Oscar Coolican,
local automobile distributor, declares
that II two drivers are placed in exactly
the same trafic conditions and one
makes better progress than the other it
stands to reason that heavy traffic" is
not the only reason for lost time.
Certainly" says Mr.. Coolican, "traf-
fic congestion does retard the average
driver. If, however, some are retarded
more than others, it must seem OBJ
vious that some know better how to
handle their cars under conditions of
congestion. BY this Is not meant that
some take desperate chances and get
ahead while others, more cautious, fall
behind
"Quite the reverse is most often the
case. The conspicuous chance-taker
in traflc is the driver who weaves from
one lane to another. It is just this
weaving that is costly in time spent
weaving driver is not the one who
knows how best to get through traffic"
The driver who does know, according
to Mr.. Coolican, is the one who always
is in his proper place.
IF he is making right turn, for
instance, he is over in the right lane,
or left turn at an uncontrolled inter-
section, In the left lane. In other
words, he is not forced to grope his
way over where he belongs, but gets
there sufficiently far In advance that
he loses no time when he reaches the
intersection at which he intends to
turn. # he is going straight ahead,
the good trafic driver sees to it that
he is not blocked by others who intend
to turn.
"In trafic It Is largely a, matter of
keeping or the move, not squirting this
man who keeps moving is the enc who
Is in the proper position. It is one
certain mark of a good driver"

CITIES ELIMINATE
PAINS OF GROWTH
Planning Reduces Cost of
Government and In
CreaSeS Comforts.

Teaching a community how to grow
is one of the businesses that have evolved
from this machine age.
Towns and cities are no longer as
self-contained as they were: their pros
perity and development depend to
large degree on the prosperity OF an en-
tire area.
This has brought about the wide.
spread application of city planning anc
its big brother, regional planning. Gov
ernmental agencies authorized or quail
fed to do the work for city and It's
environs rarely exist. Whatever is to
be accomplished must come through the
activities of the citizens themselves, who
can be most effective through the medi-
UNI of the city or regional planning
body.
or all the problems that the COM
munity today has to face that of the
automobile and its attendant demand:
is of most concern. The travel fluidity
of the car has caused the suburb and
outlying districts to blossom. Adequate

PROPER TYPE SPARK PLUG
NEEDED FOR EFFICIENCY
All Driving Conditions Met by
Manufacturers in Adoption Of
Safe Engine Helpers.

To maintain efficient engine perform
ance in cars, buses or trC ks it is
essential that the proper type spark
plug be used, according to engineers.
The same type spark plug will not
meet all driving conditions, and all
reputable manufacturers include in
their lines many different types of spark
plugs to meet different operating con-
ditions. Attention to the matter of the
proper selection of spark plugs for par
ticular service will go a long way to-
ward inSuring trouble-free performance.
An illustration Of this point is cited
in the case of a bus that had been
operated with complete satisfaction on
q level route, but when it was trans
ferred to q different route where prac-
tically all of the highway was through
hilly country the engine developed pre-
ignition. The diflculty was immedi-
ately corrected with the installation Of
spark plugs Of q cooler type especially
designed to overcome pre-igrition.

BOOTLEG" ST|CKER
SELLER PENAL|zED
Garage Operator Caught in
Aiding Automobile Owners
to Evade State Law.

BALTIMORE, July GA warning to
garage owners who have been desig-
mated as inspectors In the save a life
campaign against "bootlegging' stickers
for the windshields of automobiles that
failed to pass the rigid inspection test
required by the law was issued this
week by E. Austin Baughman, commits
Sioner of motor vehicles.
According to Mr.. Baughman, an
operator Of one of the inspection sta
lions was caught "red-handed' in the
act Of selling sticker for a car that
was unable to pass the test.
A number of people have testified
that they bought stickers from this man
for so cents each to save the expense
of having their machines repaired.
Police Raid Garage.
State police raided the garage and
seized all Of the paraphernalia used in
the inspection as well as the inspection
Stickers.
In addition to disseminating the sta
tons, the department notified the owner
of the garage that should a further
investigation reveal that automobiles
Illegally passed upon had faulty brakes
or steering gears his license would be
revoked and the license of the indi-
vidual cars discontinued.
Mr.. Baughman asserted that the real
aim of the campaign is to reach the
automobiles which are being operated
with faulty equipment and that with
out the cooperation Of the garage
owners serving as inspectors the cam
paign would be failure.
Campaign TO Close July IS.
The campaign opened June Is and
will close July Is. Only about one-half
the automobiles in the State have been
inspected and a rush similar to the
license plate jam between Christmas
and New Year is expected, as more
than 100000 automobile owners will
attempt to have their cars inspected
within the last few days of the cam
paign.
