0swaIt Warns of
Traffic Danger

Traffic accidents frequently re-
suit when one vehicle follows an
other too closely, Captain Frank
Oswalt said Tuesday in urging
greater care on the part of motor
lists in Imperial county.
"A sudden stop by a vehicle
ahead and failure of the car follow
ing it TO come to a halt" he de-
clared, results in serious crashes
frequently ending in fatal injury
to persons in both cars"
The motor vehicle code has a
rule that trucks must be 300 feet
apart except for passing or getting
into position to pass, OSwalt said,
and urged that all others maintain
a similar spacing.

proposed for the relief of congestion
on through streets in cities-are said
to be only a partial and, by them
selves, a not very effective remedy.
They are recommended around the
smaller towns and a new type Of
belt-llne distribution road around
cities is proposed. For maximum
effectiveness, both the bypass and
distribution highways must be free
OF cross traffic, parked vehicles and
developments Immediately adjacent,
to preserve their initial advantage
against the encroaching growth OF
the urban community, which other
wise soon converts them into ordi-
nary local streets.
Outside of city limits on the main
highways the report shows there is
need OF modernization of the exist
ing roads to ease curvature, reduce
gradients and extend sight distance
in order more safely to serve fast
moving traffic. Near the cities, also,
steadily increasing mileage Of
four-lane divided highways is be-
heved to be required.
According to the report, such i'm
provements are required on most
of the mileage of the Federal-aid
and State highway systems, espe-
cially those parts built before the
recent considerable increase in the
travel speed of motor vehicles. For
tho nonct thaVy i,o,,
local changes in the existing roads.
By such changes the bulk of the
highway traffic that moves between
adjacent cities will be amply served.
The report sketches the general
outlines of master plan for the
improvement of roads and streets to
meet the real needs of highway
transportation. In addition to the
several classes Of Improvements
previously mentioned, the plan in
cludes improvement of a carefully
selected mileage of secondary and
feeder roads to give direct service to
a larger number of rural dwellers.
The selection would be made from
among the 2.650000 miles of roads
outside of the State and Federal-aid
systems. Constituting about 78 per
cent of the countrys total road and
street mileage, these lesser roads
serve at present only about 10 per
cent of the total vehicle mileage Of
traffic. Located on them. however,
are the homes and working places
OF about rs per cent of the rural
population. The purpose of the i'm
provement of an additional mileage
of these roads. therefore. is shown
TO be that of affording better access
to rural property rather than the
service of a large increment of
traffic. The choice of the roads to
be improved should be made in
close conformity with a program
looking to the promotion of eco
nomically and socially beneficial
land use.

Wives might not inspire such
things as fishing trips, except in a
negative fashion. but feminine
Americans are said to have their
way in determining more than 60
per cent of the destinations chosen
by the family for recreational ira
vel Women buy the travel is
the broad way the tourism industry
sums up its surveys, perhaps mind
full that the 60-plus figure might
represent an understatement OF
women's beguiling benin d-the-
scenes role in vacations. 1t may be
that the data was supposed to be
kept secret, but certainly the effect
on transportation and travel objec-
ives is not. To adapt a phrase,
women have made the world a bet
ter place in which to travel.
The Golden Gate Exposition is a
case in point. Were the fair to be
stag spectacle, emphasis might be
placed on massive and ultilitarian
lines. But women demand beauty,
a recognition of their own particu-
lar interests, the wine of social
activity, and, quite practically, a
place to park the children. Thus it
is natural that the exposition should
have them all.
Women's activities will center at
the Yerba Buena clubhouse. over
which Elsa Maxwell, a member OF
the exposition's Hospitality Commit
tee, will preside with a ready dis
position to stage parties of the brand
that have made her famous. Set
amid gardens and flanked by foun-
tains, the clubhouse is a striking
structure of glass. A woman, Fran
ces Adler Elkins, designed the in
terror decorations.
While most of the features of the
exposition are being created to ap-
peal to all visitors, women are ex-
pected to gravitate to the Palace OF
Elegance, where fashions of Europe
and America will be displayed; to
the exhibit of household appliances,
amazing in their diversity; to the
Palace of Fine and Liberal Arts
with its display OF old masters
loaned by the Italian government;
to the exhibits of education and
recreation, and, yes, to thrilling
night clubs. Two entertaining places
are being developed to interest
younger travelers-the Children's
Village and the California Recrea-
ton Building.
