INTRODUCES UNIFORM
TRAFFIC CODE BILL
SENATOR'S BILL HAS SAFE
TY COUNCILS APPROVAL

Mississippi took the first step
toward lining itself up with the
rest Of the nation this week in
the matter Of highway safety
when Senators j. Stewart, Lex.
ington, and G.. B. Herring intro.
duced Senate Bill 1872 providing
for a uniform traffic code on
State highways
Approximately IS pages in
length, the bill is patterned after
the model uniform traffic act OF
the National Safety Council. and
has the sponsorship Of Mississip.
PTS own "Safety Council" recent
ly organized at the call Of Gov
ernor White.
The bill defines and makes un.
form on all Mississippi highways
the driving practices used by good
drivers everywhere. Some Of the
"rules Of the road" outlined in
the bill cover such points as traf-
fic signs, what to do in case OF
accidents, driving signals. right
of way, standard equipment, etc.
In the words of Mr.. Louis r
Morony, field representative Of
the National Safety Council. the
bill "seeks to give out-of-state
drivers the assurance that they
will find the same good driving
practices observed in Mississippi
as elsewhere"
The bill is now in the hands
Of the Road, Ferries and Bridges
committee of the senate. 1t is ex-
pected that early action will be
taken on the measure.

The Mississippi Press Associa-
ton in session Saturday in Jack
son adopted a resolution of ap-
prevail and commentator upon
the outstanding work done by the
Mississippi Advertising Commits
sion during the past year.
The resolution stated that Mis-
sissippi newspapers alone have
contributed $11S,O 900 in free space
to the advertising program with
out any charge whatever and be-
lieve that the Legislature should
make a further appropriation to
make possible a continuance Of
the program which has made such
wonderful progress in its first
year.
In adopting this resolution we
feel sure the Press Association
was expressing the enthusiasm of
every community in the state
that has felt the results OF the
Advertising Commission pro-
gram.
Personally we don't believe
that anything except the sales
tax and good roads have con,ri-
buted more to the progress ana
well-being of this state than has
the Advertising Commission s pro
gram and it's execution.
The increased loyalty and pa
triotism on the part of Mississippi
plans and the creation Of so mucn
good will for Mississippi outside
this state have been results Of the
Commissions work. The Legisla-
ture will in all probability place
its stamp Of approval on the work
OF the group as it should.
If the Advertising Commission
in IFS second wear a achieve as
much as it did in the first, then
we will have come out into the
holiness of dav. so to sneak.
1t will take some more good
work by the Advertising Commits
sion to convince other sections Of

If all the club women over the

such a program of learning what
the state manufacturers produce

Philip Morris Rises to

BY ESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Oct. 4 G.N.S0
The stock market eased fractional
ly today as profit-taking was at
tracted by the sharp recovery in
values on European peace.
Lowest prices were reached in
the first hour, after which slow
recovery got underway. This
reduced losses to a minimum
throughout pivotal groups, and
listed several representative issues
above their previous closing levels.
STEELS COME BACK
Steels came back quickly after
showing losses of almost a point
in Bethlehem and U. S. Steel.
Both of these wiped out their de
clineS, with Bethlehem moving a
shade above last nights final
quotation. The group was helped
by the gain in steel operations
reported yesterday and Wall
Street estimates that production
may exceed go per cent of capa.
city before the end of the year.
Chrysler and General Motors
held slightly under previous clos.
ings. Allied Chemical and Johns,
Manville among the higher priced
issues slipped more than point
at their lows, but recovered par.
italy later in the forenoon.

Fractional declines were shown
