Motor Travel Fell
 Off Some In 1881.
Approximately $2,75O 100000 Spent for Motor vaca-
 tions, A Drop of Fifteen Per Cent

Washington, D. C., Oct 30.-Es- timating that approximately $2,- 50.000. 900 was spent for vacauon motor travel within the Unitru States during the present year, the American Automobile association declared today that while the to- tai of travel expenditures was off about 15 per cent as compared with last year, the decline was not nearly as great as in other lines of business and industry.
 The A. A. A. statement was is- sued over the signature of W. C.. Bryant of Detroit. chairman of Its national touring board, at the con- clusion of a two-day meeting of the boards advisory committee held in Washington.
 Pointing out that the drop in travel expenditures was largely due to the desire of motorists to econ omize by taking shorter vacation trips and limiting expenses, MT Bryant said that the importance of this great industry may be more readily appreciated when the de- crease in the travel bill is com pared with the decline of from 30 to 35 per cent in business and industry generally.
 The chairman of the A. A. A. na- tional touring board in summarizing the highlights of the year in the field of travel said:
 Travel to Europe was off about 20 per cent and thousands of Americans who ordinarily go abroad spent their vacations in the play areas at home. Under the stim- | ulus of this travel and the pat ronage of the millions who annually turn to the outdoor playgrounds. | the national parks enjoyed an ex- cellent year. The number of visitors passed the three million mark for | the first time and broke previous records by IA per cent.
 While motorists generally were not inclinded to take long trips and there was decrease in transcon- ! tinental travel, the number of mo- ; torists taking short trips and week end journeys was not far short o. peak years in the past. This lis evidenced by the fact that gasoline consumption. good yardstick for | measuring the flow of travel. will show an increase for the year of about 10 per cent, as compared With 193O.
 MT Bryant called particular at- tention to some of the road condi- tions that continue to prove detri- | ment to pleasurable touring in the United States. He said:
 "In spite of the fact that a uni | form motor vehicle code and uni | form municipal traffic code have been developed. the millions of mo- torists who take their vacation along the highways are still con. fronted with veritable nightmare of different traffic laws and traffic regulations. This bewildering sdi.
 versity oftentimes destroys tho mental poise of the driver and fl
 turn serves to increase our acciden and fatality toll. It is clear tha
 road laws and regulations must h.
 made and administered on the ba
 sis of state and regional plans an,
 that the municipality of agencie
 that now have a hand in creatin,
 our traffic potpourri must get ou of the picture.
 "One of the most annoying ele ments confronting the motorist to.
 day is the large number of un.
 necessary traffic lights that have | been erected in thousands of cross road villages. Some states have de-
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-10-30

veloped a standard for the erec- tion of such lights with a view to safety and the facilitatinn of traf'tc. But it is clear that the problem requires attention on nations wide basis.
 "Congestion, in our urban areas Is intensified apparently from year to year. Many of our large cities have not as yet developed arterial highways to take care of through travel or constructed belt lines that will enable the touring cara van to avoid the congestion. Even where such through highways and belt lines exist. they are in many instances poorly marked. The re- suit is more congestion, more bot tle-necks, more loss of time. more i'll will and frayed temper at the wheel.
 Little progress has as yet been made toward the reconciliation of commerce and beauty along the highways built largely at the ex- pense of the car owners. Apart from aesthetic considerations, many ad- vertising signs deliberately immi- tate warning and discertion signs
  verges on the criminal and Is some thing that every state can control under it's existing laws without any new legislation.
 "Detours. of course. are a neces- sary evil. It should be remember CT. however. that the motorist mak- ing a trip is out to tour not to detour. It Is true that state high way authorities fin recent years have adopted a higher standard for de- | tours, but there is still plenty of room for improvement, since in many instances. detours are neither as we'll kept up nor as well marked with signs as they should be. Nor do the authorities always give in- | formation sufficiently in advance as ] to the opening and closing dstes of certain stretches of road. "'In this same connection. I might refer to the nuisance of and ynrop- erty damage resulting from being compelled to drive on freshly oiled roads. A considerable number os states have adoupted the practice
 of handling one shoulder of the road at a time. making quite cer- tain tha 1t Is compeltely dry be- fore opening 1t to the motor car : van. This ought to be possible with out inconvenience to traffic. '.In some communities. back ward advertisers are still indulging in the habit of employing young
 boys to distribute literature to fast-n' owing vehicles. Every state should have law prohibiting this
 practice. since apart from its being
 a nuisance. it constitutes a safety hazard. The windshield sticker
 should be universally placed in the same category"

TRADE SURVEY OF MANUFACTURERS
 VERY HOPEFUL
Industrial Recovery Is Under Way and Good Reasons for Report Are Given

New York. Oct 30.-(UP)-In- dustrial recovery is under way, ac- cording to the annual trade survey of the National Association of Manufacturers W hich covers 800 replies to a questionnaire.
 The survey was made public by J. Lewis Benton, general secretary. during its anual meeting yester- day.
 Labor stabilization and unem . ployment relief were discussed dur ing a conference held in connec- tion with the association meeting
 The industrial survey covered more than score of industries and revealed:
 1.-Inventories are at lowest point in years with only per cent reporting overstocked as compared with 17 per cent last year. Depict ed stocks reported by A per cent against 26 per cent in 1890.
 2.-Wages maintained or im- proved by 54 per cent; others cut on average of 15 per cent. De- creases in sales, prices and produc- tion averaged 40 per cent, about three times the wage cuts.
 3.-Employment cut less this year than last, GA per cent reduc- ing payrolls against 6S per cent in 1890.
 4.-Business improved over last fall for per cent against per cent in 1880, 74 per cent reported business decreased against so per cent last year.
 Present trade was reported flair to excellent" by 48 per cent of those replying to the questionnaire. Prospects for next winter were considered, fair. good or excellent by 58 per cent of industries covered in survey.
 Among the larger improvements in trade reported were: Automobile accessories, IA per cent; chemical, II; electrical, IS; leather. 27; paper and pulp, IA; rubber. 25; stationery and printing, 9; textiles. IT per cent.
 The opinion that industrial re- covery was under way was based not on a general increase in all business, but on the fact that more industries were showing increases and fewer were showing losses.
 Methods used In nine commun- ities, scattered in various sections of the north eastern and north cen- tral regions of the United States, to relieve unemployment. were out lined by the association's employ ment relations committee. w. R. Webster, Bridgeport, Conn, chair | man.
