ILLlTERATE DRIVERS HELD
ROAD MENACE BY A. A. A.
Many States Still Do Not Require
Proper Examine
TONS

Declaring that no one who Is unable
to understand highway warning and
direction signs In English should be al
lowed to drive q motor vehicle, the
American Automobile Association re-
vealed today that the great majority
Of the States have made no provision
TO protect the public against the dan
ger accruing from the presence Of
thousands Of complete illiterates on the
road.
In spite of the tremendous volume Of
motor vehicle laws, regulations and or
dinances confronting the car owners at
every turn, there are now IS States
with a registration of more than 49,
900 where drivers are not subject
to any examination as to their under
standing of danger and direction signs.
This is the high light of an ex-
haustive survey made by the national
motoring body, which, among other
things, disclosed that those States that
do not require the applicant for a per-
NIT to distinguish between stop" and
Go" have the highest average percent
age Of illiteracy.
"On the basis of our survey and Of
our analysis Of existing laws, there Is
no doubt whatever that the time has
come when In the interest Of national
safety on the highway this serious lax
ity in the requirements for driving
privileges must receive attention"
Thomas p. Henry of Detroit, Mich.
president Of the A. A. A., declared.

NEW TRAFFIC IDEAS
SLOW IN SPREADING
General Relief, However, Is
Coming, as Evidenced
by Detroit Area.

How fast does the world move? Sci
entists can determine the actual speed
Of the world quite accurately, but they
cannot calculate the speed Of progress.
Until recently q century or more was
required for q new idea, q new invention
or discovery to find It's way around the
civilized world. But with the transpor-
tation and communication equipment Of
today new things spread overnight, such
as midget golf
Striking Instance.
But even in this age improved meth
DDS frequently are slow in spreading. A
striking instance Of this is found In
motor transportation. While cities all
over the country have been struggling
In the throes of traffic congestion and
high cost, Implanted highway pro-
grams, Wayne County. In which Detroit
Is located, has virtually solved the traffic
problem.
Wayne County has a story and an
exhibit that warrants the attention Of
every community suffering from traffic
tits. On September / of this year
Wayne County had completed no less
than 624 miles of hard-surfaced roads.
But the AIMING feature Is that some
800 miles Of this pavement Is of q 40
foot width or greater.
35 Grade Separations.
In addition, Wayne County now has
IS grade separations, SO Of which are at
railroad intersections and at impor-
tant highway intersections. During the
year 81 miles of pavements were Wild
ened and 80 miles Of new pavements
were built.
And another outstanding thing on the
Wayne County program Is the continue
GUS acquisition of wider rights Of way.
These are being acquired at an average
rate Of about mile q week. Conse-
quently when money IS available for
wide pavements. and there is need for
them, Wayne County has place to put
them.
Wayne County Is looking at motor
transportation from the business end as
well as the pleasure. Well paved ar
teries leading out in all directions from
Detroit have tended to equalize real
estate values: they have made 1t pos
sible for city workers to live in spacious
and "countrifled" districts away from
the city; they are helping downtown
Detroit merchants and business men
retain their customers.
The accomplishment Of the Detroit
area has not taken place by mere

ADOPTS STANDARDS
Of THE bEAUX ARTS
Auto Industry Gives In
creasing Attention to
Appearance.

Line, form, symmetry and proportion,
major factors In the creation Of beauty
In art, have been accepted by the auto
mobile industry and general adoption Of
beaux arts standards In the design Of
cars Is expected to follow, r. H. Faulk-
ner, vice president in the automobile
industry, says.
Since the automobile first became an
important factor in public life around
1912 we have heard much about beauty
Of design, eye appeal and art standards"
says Faulkner. THE truth Of the mat
ter Is many automobile designs have
been atrocities from . point Of art.
Engineers Sought Utility.
1.-THE reason primarily for this Is that
In many cases engineers interested In
have been in charge of design and have
had the final word Their chief problem
first was to get automobiles to run.
Later. after fairly reliable cars had been
designed, their chief problem was to
improve these cars mechanically. APP
pearance of automobiles was secondary
and Of little moment to them.
Most of us will recall that the de-
velopment Of the automobile has been
chiefly a mechanical development. The
self-starter made its first appearance
along about 1911. AS soon as it had
proved its worth the industry rushed to
adopt 1t, concentrating O great amount
OF energy and attention on this one fea-
ture. Then came closed cars, four
wheel brakes. straight EIGHT engines and
hundreds Of minor improvements.
Briefly, the industry has been so inter-
ested in building cars that would get
from here to there with the least dim
Guilty and at the least possible cost that
the appearance Of the car has often
been relegated to the background.
Progress Through Years.
ANY one looking at an automobile of
the 1914 or even the 1918 vintage win
at once become aware Of the imperfec-
tons Of automobile designing. Even
many OF the preSent-day cars are sadly
lacking In the fundamentals Of good
design.
For instance, the length Of the hood
OF an automobile should be proportion
ate to the length Of the body. The
height Of the car, likewise, must be
comparable to It's length and the size
OF the wheels and tires to the general
size OF the car. Scores Of other fac.
tors contribute 10 the whole to pro-
duce . thing Of beauty as well as
utility.
ITO create q beautiful automobile
BODY curves must be symmetrical and
the lines Of the tenders and contour of
the top must conform"

PARAGUAY ECONOMICS
AIDED BY AUTOMOBILE
Trade Commissioner Declares That
Republic Needs Tronsporta.
ton Facilities.

That the automobile will prove 70
be one Of the most important factors
in the economic development Of the
South American Republic Of Paraguay
II the opinion Of American Trade Com
missioner Howard H. Tewksbury. In o
trade bulletin released by the Depart
ment Of Commerce, Mr.. Tewksbury
points out that the outstanding han
dicap to Paraguayis progress Is the
lack Of adequate transportation facili-
ties. There are but few hard-surfaced
roads In the whole country ct the
present time. One Of these Is o granite
highway running from Asuncion, the
roads were begun between Paraguay
and Bolivia but no work has been done
on these since the early part Of last
year, and little progress can be ex-
pected until the boundary dispute be-
tween the two countries is settled.
At the beginning Of 1880 there were
registered in Paraguay 865 passenger
automobiles and 772 trucks and buses,
Of which SO per cent were Of American
make. While the country Is relatively
small market for automobiles, imports
have shown q marked increase during
the last five years. Ten years ago. &C
cording to Mr.. Tewksbury's report.
there were only 30 motor vehicles In
the country.
During the calendar year 1929 United
States exports of automotive products
to Paraguay were valued at something
more than 100000, including passen-
ger cars valued at $4,000 and trucks
worth $4,000.
The trade bulletin just issued Is one
of a series of studies on the automotive
markets of South America, being made
by the Commerce Department. 1t will
be followed within "a short time by
similar studies on Brazil and Chile.

LOWER COSTS OF DISTRIBUTION
ATTRIBUTED TO TRUCK STUDY
Impartial Survey Undertaken to Ascertain
Problems and Methods of Indi-
vidual Vacations.

firms operating only O truck or two,
aS well as heads Of the nations busi-
nesses, we are now constantly receiving
letters commencing these vocational
surveys on the basis that they have
led directly to lower distributive costs,
and predicting widespread RESULTS as
the reports are more and more utilized
by truck operators IN the vacations so
studied.
Thousands Of successful business
firms have been and are cooperating
with us Fundamentally and unselfishly
In the interests of better, faster and
cheaper distribution.
These reports are based on surveys
by trained Investigators who have main
tanned and are maintaining close con-
tact with representative companies To-
Gated throughout the country. Their
findings embrace the operation Of trucks
Of all makes.
Hence no direct benefit accrues to
our company which Is not shared by
the entire truck industry. But it Is one
OF our principles to contribute In the
fullest measure to more economical and
more efncient truck operation. This,
we feel, Is one Of the responsibilities of
leadership Of commercial transporta-
ton.
These vocational studies deal with
all factors which are directly or in
directly affected by truck operation.
