This is in line with a recent state ment made before a convention of salesmen by a representative of this Firestone Ship-by-Truck Bureau. This expert pointed out that as a matter of fact the Important part of a highway was its roadbed. As an illustration he referred to the won derful Roman roads still e.xlstent In parts of England.

Speed Law Opponents Suggest Minimum Rate as Single Limit

The speed laws are all wrong. If there Is any kind of a "speed law It should be one establishing a min mum rate of travel on certain High ways. That is, a motorist going five miles an hour at a certain point wpuld be liable to arrest. These are some of the points brought out by opponents of speed leg.slation who have made consid erable noise in various parts of the country. It isn't the speeder who is dangerous, they say. It 1s the reckless driver. And. they emphasize, speed Isn't necessarily a component part of reckless driving On a clear, wide highway what danger is there in opening >r up? But in a crowded section of the city the motorist who decides suddenly to stroll along at five miles an hour ought to be an-ested for reckless driving. The driver behind might run into him. Or a pedestrian might believe bo was stopping. Plan in England This move against the speed laws has gone quite far in England. There, the Automobile Association of Great Britain has collected a mass of evidence on the subject and presented it to the ministry of transport and to Parliament. Part of the report reads: “The main proposal the commit mittee on road regulations made waa tbat the speed limit should be abolished. The danger is not on account of speed, but It is on account of the conditions of the traffic on the roads. A speed higher than twenty miles an hour may be perfectly safe on a wide, open road, and a spaed of five miles

Sales Represent 275 Per Cent Gain Over Previous High Water Mark. FARM DEMAND SLACKENS Outlook for Better Business Appears Bright, With Hope for Improvement. The Moon Motor Car Company of St. Louis reports that July was the biggest month In Its history. Sales were 275 per cent greater than sales for July of 1921 and 29 per cent greater than eales for June of 1922, which was the previous record month. Unfilled orders on hand Aug. 1 were of such volume to Insure capacity production until at least October. The factory at present is building fifty cars a day and every effort is being made to Increase this number. Demand has slowed up In one or two sections of the country, but it is hardly noticeable, as practically every distributor in the metropolitan centers is crying for cars and this demand in New Tork reached the point where, during July, twenty-five carloads of automobiles were shipped to New York by express Big business from the farmer as yet has not been felt. If nothing unforseen happens, the farmer should be in the market for new cars in the next thirty or forty days. The demand for closed cars is upsetting all calculations and for the next three months, at least, sales of closed cars will equal, if not exceed, sales of open models. The outlook for continued record business Is very' satisfactory, and peak production is expected to be CArried on into the winter.
