Expenditures Profitable.

Expenditures on highways are
profitable now because of the
needs of the unemployed and the
low cost of accomplishing needed
road and street improvements, &C
cording to w. R. Smith, president
of the American Road Builders
Associa ton.
Road building readily absorbs
men engaged in all industries that
are temporarily inactive. No spe-
cial training is required for COM
mon labor on the roads and streets
and, therefore, highway building
is an ideal public work for the re-
lief OF unemployment. A man who
is given a job does not lose his
self-respect like one who is forced
to accept charity.
The recent statement of a rep
reSentativ0 of the American So
ciety Of Automotive Engineers that
within a decad5 road speeds of 100
miles an hour are to be expected
gives an idea of the additional
burdens that are continually be-
ing placed on the highways. We
may expect under such speed con-
dltionS express highways with
marginal roads for slow traffic,
much elimination of both highway
and railroad grade-crossings and
the relocation and widening of
many highways to fit them to
handle high-speed traffic. The
formula for highways, safe drivers
plus safe vehicles plus safe roads
equals safety, states the three ele-
ments that must be considered"

SCHOOL OPENINGS NECESSITATE
EXTRA CARE IN AUTO DRIVING
A. A. A. Calls u pom Motorists to Exercise
All Forms of Safety in Protecting
Little Ones.

With approximately 25,ooo,o00 chill
dren in all sections OF the country pre-
pairing to return to the school room
the American Automobile Association
today broadcast a warning to motorists
that the return Of these youngsters to
the streets will create new traffic
hazards and urged careful driving on
the part OF every car owner.
The national motoring body pointed
out that the prevention Of accidents
involving school children Is largely
within the province of the motorist and
the exercise OF added care will go far
in reducing the number OF deaths and
fatalities.
Nation Challenged.
While there has been a steady i'm
provement in the traffic fatality record
among children" said the statement,
the problem still challenges the Nation.
In eight years, while adult fatalities
were more than doubling, those Of chill
dren increased by less than IS per cent.
In 1922 children accounted for more
than % per cent of all traffic casualties.
but in 1880 accounted for less than 20
per cent.
This improvement is largely attri-
butable to safety education in the
schools and to the successful operation
Of schoolboy patrols in safeguarding
school. With the reopening of schools
some 100000 schoolboy patrolmen will
be at their posts in every section of
the country. and in addition, A. A., A.
motor clubs will sponsor the distribu-
ton Of close to 10000 900 safety lessons
and posters during the school year
ahead"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-09-13

In its appeal to car owners 10 aid
the cause of safety by careful driving,
the A. A. A. said in part:
In the vast army of children re-
turning to school will be little ones
of 4, and years of age, who for the
first time are leaving the protection
and safety of their homes to enter an
entirely new world There will be
problems enough without that of the
reckless driver
'All motorists are obligated to have
part in the great humanitarian work
OF preventing accidents, and they
should realize the enormous difference
their care and consideration would
mean in keeping these children safe
from physical harm as we'll as from
a fear that may mar the rest of their
lives. Such spirit on the part of car
owners will do more than anything else
to make for safety.
SchOolboy Patrols
"The reduction of accidents that is
traceable to the establishment OF
schoolboy patrols in hundreds of schools
throughout the country is evidence that
the courteous helpfulness Of motor car
drivers has been extended to these
youngsters, whose white belts and arm
bands identify them as safety crusaders
There is every reason to believe that
still greater cooperation will be given
during this school year.
Car owners have learned that when
the boy patrolman holds UP his hand
that 1t Is not an order but a plea for
assistance. Who could resist such a
plea when behind It Is the calm. conf
dent trust Of child?"

began shifting the air of easy
money. Bills for compulsory in
surance laws of various kinds
were introduced in the Legisla-
lures of q other States. Fortu-
nately automobile clubs and SINH
lar organizations were able to pre-
vent the passage of these measures.
The plea advanced for not putting
such laws on the statute books was
that it would be wise to wait and
see how Massachusetts, got along
with its pet measure. The Bay
State was to be sort of labora-
tory to test out compulsory inSur-
ance.
The laboratory is tired of func-
tioning in that wav and shortly
we shall hear it speak in no uncer-
tain terms"
Could anything be written more
fooliShly or more biased? If the
trade people could only get over
the false notion that such a law
means less cars sold they would
be hollering for it.

16 States Uniform.

While all States have some form
of rules of the road governing the
movement of motor vehicles, in
only 18 States are these rules uni
form, according to the District of
can Automobile Association.
The association declared uni
formity in the provisions covering
rules of the road, such as speed
limits, signs signals and markers,
passing street cars, overtaking and
passing other vehicles, etc. will go
far to assure an orderly movement
of the motor transport.
Absence of uniformity" it was
stated, with a large number of
contradictory practices in differ
ent jurisdictions, results in the ut
most confusion, failure to obey
regulations, hazards to all con-
cerned and delay in the actual
movement of traffic.
THE Importance of rules of the
road is now apparent in every
State, and the advantage of hav-
ing the basic principles uniform
throughout the country should be
equally SO.
1t was further pointed out that
uniform rules of the road are en-
bodied in act four of the Uniform
Motor Vehicle Code, drafted by
the National Conference on Street
and Highway Safety, of which the
American Automobile Association
is one of the sponsors.
The 18 States which have uni
form rules of the road are as fol-
lows:
Arizona, California, Colorado,
Delaware, Idaho, Louisiana, Mich
igan, North Carolina, North Da-
kota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South
Dakota, Utah, Virginia and Wis

Gasoline CONSUMPTION.

Motorists in the District of Co.
lumbia and visitors used 80, 538, 900
gallons of gasoline in 1880. as
compared to 71,884,000 in 1929.
For the country as a whole there
were 1871 100000 gallons of gaso-
line consumed by motorists in
1880. as compared with 1892
10000 gallons in 1929, an increase
of 5.3 per cent.
New York led the States in gas

second. with a total conSump-
ton of 1885 ,556,0OO gallons. Ne
vada motorists used a total of only
81 TAB, 900 gallons of gasoline.
1t is stated that the annual

NO GAS BOOTLEGGING
EXISTENT IN MARYLAND
None Worthy the Name, Says
j. o'C. McCusker, Baltimore
Official.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE. September 12.-There
Is no gas bootlegging worthy of the
name in Maryland, according to Joseph
OC. McCusker, chief deputy state
controller, who said Maryland collects
the gasoline tax on all the fluid that is
used in the State.
If there is any. it doesn't exceed
5000 to 10000 gallons annually which
he describes as "inf1nitesimal" compared
to the several hundred millions of GAL
Ions used annually.
1T is more difficult" said Mr.. Nc
Cusker, Ito bootleg gasoline in a State
where meme Is produced than it is to
bootleg 1t where 1t is produced None
Is produced in Maryland.
The only dealer in gasoline who
would have any chance to avoid paving
the tax would be some one on the bore
der OF the State who got gasoline from
outside the State. That would be diff
cult to do because his competitors. would
be anxious to see that he paid what they
had to pay.
I'VE have had complaints from time
to time that there was some bootleeging
OF gasoline going on through vessels
moving about the bay, but our investipa-
lions have not uncovered the bootleg
ging.
The motor vehicle commissioner CO.
operates with us in looking for such
things"

Follow other vehicles only as closely
as is reasonable and prudent and will
permit you to stop safely II an emer-

Obey speed regulations. They are de-

to stop in an emergency.
Avoid unusual speeds in passing other
