U The tourist, any one of the mil- lions away from home today, pulls over to the curb in the strange city. He has seen what looks like a friend- ly, intelligent native, "How," he asks, as the latter. looks up expectantly, "do you make left turns in this town?" "From centre of the street on the green light," comes the reply. "Through traffic waits." ; In the next town, the tourist re- peats the question. "From the left lane on the green light. - You have to wait for through traffic though." : In still another city, the question is put. Comes the answer. "Pull over to the right lane and wait for the green light in the other direction." Three cities--three different avays of making a left turn, It is the safhe with regard to right turns, speed limits, stop signs at boulevards parking, one-way = streets, and so many other aspects of traffic regula- tions. Each city with a different idea of what is right. The tourist is confused, delayed, discon- certed, irritated, and endangered. Local drivers, victims of the stran- ger's confusion, feel the same way about it. Both groups naturally begin to think not that there ought to be a law," but that there ought to be a uniform law. Invariably, it is tho summer season that focuses greatest , attention upon this idea which has been uppermost in motordom's mind for many years, It is summer when the millions of motorists "muddle through" their motor tours meeting more varieties of traffic practices than they ever thought to exist.

The person re- sponsible for it was a woman driver from the Middle West. In her home town the lights are located - high above the middle of the intersection, In the city which she visited the lights are located at each of the four corners. It was night and the dark- ness contributed to her confusion. She saw the red light ahead, thought it was a fire alarm box, and drove through. The cars involved in the crash suffered considerable damage, though their occupants escaped un- hurt, 5 That is but one case. According to those clamoring for uniformity throughout the whole traffic scheme of things, it is repeated scores of times daily. Sometimes when traffic is light, the result is harmless. At other times it is not. - A similar experience is recounted by tourists when they meet for the first time the policeman's semaphore which has only the 'arti' tha¢* bear the word "stop." The "go" is omit~ ted on the theory that unless he is told to do otherwise, the driver will go. But he does not, according to the admissions of many who have not. He is confused. It is some- thing different than that to which he is accustomed. He stops. He dis- rupts traffic and endangers the whole moving stream. Again he and all the others in the vicinity are impressed with the need for uniformity not only in traffic re- gulations but in traffic signs. It is not only in the cities that the need for uniformity is eternally and emphatically impressed upon the stranger. Especially does he notice it with respect to legal speeds on State highways. In the 48 States of the Union, the speed limit ranges from 20 miles an hour to no speed limit at all. Only one has the mini- mum figure, Massachusetts, Two however, have limits of 25 miles: six of 30: 22 of 35 miles an hour; 10 of 40 miles; four of 45, and three have removed the . arbitrary limit alto- gether in favor of a reckless driving clause, Some Must be Wrong Seven different ideas of what high- way speeds should be!

Take the six New England States for example, In| Maine, the limit is 35; Massachu- setts, 20; New Hampshire, 35; Ver- mont, 30; C icut, no ifi limit; and in Rhode Island, 35. There are other things, met every few minutes in either the municipal- ity or in the rural districts that cause the motorist to lift his voice in the cause of uniformity, traffic au- thorities point out. In some cities, for instance bright lights are forbid- den. In others, the shrill blast of the policeman's whistle greets the motor traveller who would innocently enough use his dimmers. Parking regulations vary from block to block without adequate signs in many cases to tell ithe stranger just the degree of variation, Unhappy as the situation is, one of the most prominent figures in the fight for uniform traffic regulations decvlares, it is happy to the extent that every blunder adds a recruit to the growing army of those demand- ing uniformity. "The touring move- ment," he says, "grows every year. It has been estimated that 30,000.000 will make distance motor trips dur- ing 1929. Next year, there will be more. "The final result of the mass of mis takes that these travelers make will be an irrestible demand for uniform- ity. The demand becomes more irre- sistible every day."

DESIGN NEW WING FOR AEROPLANES Inventor to Carry out Tests With New Device This Fall Chicago, Tlls., August 8.--A "flying wing" incorporating radical departures from the convcentional areoplane has been designed by Shift them onto us. | We are prepared to |B smooth the path on moving day at mod- erate cont. i coLENS LOCAL AND LONG DISTANCE | laf, Laurence J. Lesh, Chicago, who ex- pects to test a full-size plane this The plane, now only in the mod- el stage, is to be built on a theory Lesh developed. He calls it the "principle of similar proportional profiles," by which he means that the wing curve must govern the shape of the plane. Lesh, a pioneer glider flier and aeroplane pilot, is a member of the "Barly Birds" and one of 14 men whose research work was fathered by Octave Chanute. Lesh first flew in a glider in 1906. During the war he developed the windmill gen- erator used on aeroplanes to gener- ate power for radio operation. His plane design results in a wing shaped like the two-stick kite. The rear tip is hinged to provide a horizontal control surface, The plane, Lesh says, will de-- velop maximum lift efficiency, have great structural strength and be automatically stable. In extensive tests with both glid- ing and powered models the plane outstripped the usual models, he asserts. Its gliding ratio is about 20 to 1, compared with 10 to 1 for the ordinary model. It cannot be made to spin, and models have made 100-foot dives to the ground unharmed. With a full-size ship, Lesh believes it would be possible to make a vertical power dive with- out damaging it. In fact, one model he has design- ed is intended as an unarmed fight- er. The leading edge of the wing would be armored with steel to crush its adversaries. Because of its great structural strength, sta- bility, speed and efficiency, Lesh says, it could fight by diving on and disabling other planes. The test he expects to make this fall will be with a low powered plane to demonstrate the eficiency of his design. It will have a wing spread of 26 feet and a surface area of 300 square feet. The wing will have four cantilever beams and 24 ribs. The plane, Lesh says, derives its stability chiefly from wind vortices set up at the wing tips, which have a gyroscopic function. He discov- ered this while testing models in smoke. PREDICTS BULL FIGHTING IN. Fighting A Bull Gives Great- est Kick in Life, Says Bull Fighter Madrid, August 83--Bull fighting will be a popular sport in New York some day predicts Sydney. Franklin, Brooklyn's only bull fighter. Franklin who was once a com- mercial artist and took up bull nghting after becoming interested in it during a visit to Mexico City, says that bull fighting carries the "greatest kick in the world for him." "When you fight a bull, you get the greatest kick life has to offer." he said. '""That's why I fight bulls. Enjoy every minute of it. I only wish I could fight morning, noon and night." Franklin has fought three times in Seville and once at San Sebas- tian, He said he was hopeful that he would succeed in Madrid where for the bull fighter to triumph is usually the most severe test of the profession. 3 Franklin is a slim, blond, well- built youth with a boyish grin and looks more like a clerk than a bull fighter.
