WEEK END TRIPS GAIN FAVOR
ASAUTO OPENS COUNTRY LANES
Horse-and-Buggy Ride on Sunday After

All Who Weren't Wealthy.

as they please. Most Of the favorite
bathing beaches are crowded with peo-
pie during the Summer week ends prac-
tically all Of them having been con-
veyed thither by automobiles. Espe-
cially on Sundays are these places
crowded. This is also true Of the many
parks and Fairgrounds which are under
supervision of counties, States ana the
Nation.
City, Church Attendance Falls.
Some people have raised the question
as to whether or not this week end
habit Is not undermining the purposes
for which Sunday was set aside as the
day Of rest. There IS no doubt that
week ends may be tending to reduce
the attendance at some OF the city
evidence to confirm the idea that houses
of worship in rural sections are bene-
fitting by this week end practice. The
evidence Is to be seen In the consider
able number of automobiles that are
usually lined up In front Of such
churches during the time Of the Sun
day service. Many Of the motorists
who go away from their own parish on
week end automobile trips undoubtedly
use their automobiles to take them to
some church on Sunday.
Not only Is the week end O hot
weather institution, but 1t is also rap
idly growing as method Of having
good time during the cold weather sea-
SON. The fact that the automobile has
arrived at the stage where 1t Is now
disable vehicle all the year around,
and due to the fact that Saturdays and
Sundays come just as frequently dur
ing the cold weather as during the
Summer, there is really no reason for
this week end habit to hibernate. Just
as long as there are plenty Of automo-
biles and plenty of people to drive them
and plenty Of roads over which to
travel, 1t can be taken for granted that
the week enc will become more popu-
lar as the years 60 by.

NEW BOULEVARD LAW
HELD SATISFACTORY
Provisions of New Maryland High
way Regulations Are Explained
for Motorists.
ial Dispatch to The Star

Sr-rial Dispatch to The Star
BALTIMORE, June 22.-The new
boulevard law, which went into effect
last Saturday, is working well, accord
ing to officials of the motor vehicle
commissioners office.
Officials charged with its enforce
ment today explained some Of the pro-
visions of the law which are likely to
escape the attention of motorists.
According to the explanation, no signs
are necessary to make an improved
road function as a boulevard as far as
unimproved crossroads are concerned.
Motorists entering any improved OF
hard-surfaced road from an unpaved
thoroughfare are required to come to
full stop. This does not mean, 1t was
pointed out, mere slackening OF speed
or shifting into low gear. Motorists
using the improved roads have the
right Of way over those on the unim-
proved lateral roads. just as II they
were using a highway designated by
boulevard stop signs.
When two highways designated as
boulevards intersect, the law provides
that all vehicles shall have the right
of way over other vehicles on the in
tersecting highway approaching from
the left and shall give right of way to
those approaching on the right" It
was explained that motorists on an i'm
proved road approaching highway
marked by stop signs shall come to Q
full stop and give right Of, way to all
boulevard traffic.
The boulevard law does not apply,
1t was pointed out, when traff1c In
tersection is controlled by trafnc signals
or officers.
Penalties of IS to $50 are provided
for violations.

NORTH BECK0NS TRADE.

The Importance Of the three Scandi-
navian countries and Finland as mar
kets for American motor vehicles Is
revealed in a comprehensive study OF
those areas which the Department Of
Commerce has just issued. According
to H. G. Schuette, assistant automotive
trade commissioner for Europe, who
made the investigation, automobile
registration has been increasing pro-
gressively In Sweden, Norway, DEN
mark and Finland.
Registrations In the last-named
country In 1927 were AZ per cent
greater than during the preceding year;
Sweden showed an increase Of Is per
cent, Norway, II per cent, and Den
mark, Is per cent. The combined
registrations Of the four countries at
the beginning of 1928 numbered more
than 26o, 900. Of which 195.000 were
passenger cars. About 80 per cent Of
the passenger cars and 81 per cent OF
the trucks in use In these countries
are Of American origin.

Sweden Offers Market.

Sweden, because Of its relatively large
population, its high purchasing power
and the progress being made in road
construction, offers the greatest posi-
bilities for expansion in its motor We

Denmark has developed one of the finest
