WILMETTE LIFE. FRIDAY, MAY 2, 1924 MOTORISTS HELP MAKE SANE LAWS Tourists Urged to Report Traffic Rules c. ~f otor tourists will have a new duty to perform as they travel to and fro ac ross the land from now on if they are willing to aid a plan evolved by the American Automobile association to promote uniformity of traffic regulations and provide better motoring laws generally. It appears that a main difficulty in the way of effective uniformity of traffic regulations and motor vehicle laws is the unfamiliarity of one section of the country with conditions prevailing in another, and it is the opinion of A. A. A. officials that uniformity would he several steps nearer a reality if automobilists would familiarize themselves with the conditions under which other folk operate their cars. According to President Thos. P . "EXPECT GREAT THINGS" Henry, of the A. A. A., heads of traf"Expect Great Things," the slogan fic bureaus in many prominent cities are with which the Cadillac V-63 was annm1· studying conditions in other cities nounced, has been adopte!i by leading with a view to determining whether editors and special writers on business or not they themselves are on the wrong and social conditions as the keynote for track. If motor tourists would make a 1924. It reflects the attitude both of si milar effort to study conditions as they ·he automotive industry and of general finrl them in various parts of the country husiness as it enters the new year. and make recommendations for improvements accordingly, the main stumbling hlnck to uniformity, Mr. Henry points out. would be eliminated. "'\Vith respect to uniformity," says ~r r. Henry, "the country is faced with a problem of first eliminating the sort of situation which makes the people of one city ignorant of the motor regulations in force in another. When we have removed this feature it should he a si mple· matter to do away with the unnecessary regulations because everyh·)dy in every section of the country "ill know what regulations are neces<.ary. "As matters stand, uniformity is virtually blocked by reason of the fact that the motorist from California thinks his regulations are the best that can be provided for him. Likewise the man in New York. Neither may suspect that somewhere jn between their respective states there may be methods of regulation superior to those in the west or the east. "But how are the bulk of the nation's motorists to know what is going on in other sections of the land unless the tourists themselves who have intimate touch with the subject make their observation known? "Traffic officials are making some important discoveries in their tours of investigation, but the motor tourist could do even more for the nation's motoring. "The motorist is the person who knows whether the laws are working properly, and when he tours he has an unique opportunity to get an entirely new viewpoint on the whole subject. When he returns from a trip on which he has discovered important improvements in traffic regulation, he should report the facts to ltis local automobile club immediately. The information would then be tabulated and forwarded to A. A. A. headquarters in Washington. "I am of the opinion that useless or even dangerous laws and regulations exist in many parts of the country without the local public being fully aware of it, and that sane ideas which should be standardized have not been brought to the fore. "\Vith the opening of the travel season it is hoped that automobile tourists will assist the A. A. A. in the work of 'clearing' these facts by studying traffic conditions as they find them and b7 speaking up." ut the buses and cars of two other Th national parks, Yosemite and Grand ese Are p eraona Who · Canyon as well.

Addition of sixty new ten-passenger buses this year brings the Yellowstone fleet total up to 224 motor vehicles. This included 24 seven-passenger cars as well as the ten-passenger buses. Introduction of motor buses as a mode of park transportation began in 1917 when the sound of the creaking leather springs of the old stage coaches in use up to that time was replaced by the motor's exhaust echoing along the rocky roadways of the scenic wonderland. An average total tire mileage for a park season from June to Septemher reaches 2,750,000 and because much of the road surfacing is of volcanic origin composed of rough, sharp substances, tires are put to a severe wearing test. Selection of the Goodyear AllWeather Tread tire is due, park officials say, not only to the tire's wearing qualities but to its ability to deliver positive traction under at1 road and weather tonditions. Goodyear not only supplies the tire nee<ls of the Yellowstone Park fleet.
