UNIFORMITY IN TRAFFIC LAWS GAINS HEADWAY Jl/lotor Club Manager Tells 1 of Work Done by States. Motordom’s most serious ailment, the diversity of traffic regulations, is yielding: to treatment and there are definite indications that a movement towar dtrafflc uniformity on a national scale has set in, according to Todd Stoops, secretary-manager of the Hoosler Motor Club. This announcement came as a remit of a survey made by Thomas P. Henry, president of the American Automobile Association, who has completed a study of what the organised motorists are doing to envolve their own national traffic coda “The agreement reached at Grand Baplds for an ordinance for Michigan,” said Stoops, “may be regarded as the launching of the uniformity movement in earnest. What Michigan. has done eventually will be done by every state, and the consummation of the process will mean the end of the quack remedies that we have been applying, to our traffic problems.” The uniformity movement,. Stoops said, has been to a large extent fostered and promoted by the motor dubs affiliated with the A. A. A. Michigan’s ordinance, on which legislative action will be postponed until after the next meeting of the Hoover conference, was initiated by the Detroit Automobile Club, which secured the uniform cooperation of state and city officials to bring it to a successful conclusion. Other States “It Is not only in Michigan,” declared Stoops, "that the organized motorists are making headway toward the unifprm traffic code so badly needed by the country. In the State of Washington the Automobile Club of Washington played a leading role In getting the various official, trade and civic bodies to agree on a uniform State motor vehicle law which stands a splendid chance of being adopted by the Legislature when it meets in a few weeks. “The Cleveland Automobile Club performed a similar service in solving the traffic problem of that city, while many other A. A. A. clubs throughout the country are engaged in similar work, thus eliminating local differences and paving the way for national uniformity. "It is to be expected that the Hoover Conference will find the work that has been done by the clubs a splendid basis on which to work. " “What this means is that the organized motorist himself Is evolving his own traffic code, that he will popularize it and give it a measure of support that would be impossible if It were forced upon him. “The way to get Nation-wide uniformity In motor laws and regulations Is to start with State wide uniform laws first. If this policy is followed, it should be not long before motorists can feel at home, and safe, In any traffic they happen to find themselves. When all the States adopt their own traffic codes it will be found that they are virtually uniform.

National Viewpoint “The A. A. A. clubs have the national viewpoint on traffic control because they represent the national car owner and must consider his safety and welfare. Sectionalism rapidly is vanishing as a consequence. What the Michigan A. A. clubs have done can be done in California, in Florida or in Indiana. “This new plan of safety through abolition of confusion is merely the process of building by startiifg with the foundations. Heretofore there has been too much effort directed toward the impossible, Nation-wide abolition of confusing motor laws is not possible until an automobilist can drive through his own State •without finding it necessary to conduct himself differently in each city and town. “Uniform codes In any* State will serve to convert the people of that State to the great need for standardization. It should be only a short step between that and Nation-wide uniformity. State codes will be compromises, and our experience has been that such compromises are universal. The peqple of Maine will find that they prefer, on the average, the same regulations as the people of California, and vice versa.”

SALE OF MOTOR PARTS IS HEAVY Total for 1925 May Reach $700,000,000. II n NR A Service DETROIT, Mich., Dec. 25—The auto parts replacement business, excluding any outlay for tires, tire gas, oil and such supplies, is expected to reach a total of *700,000,000 for 1925. The 1924 figures showed that auto parts replacement overaged $62 per car. At the same figure, with the increased registration of automobiles the total expenditures will total at least the huge estimated amount. “This sum,” says T. R. Walton, sales manager for a Detroit auto parts concern, “can b©\conceived if one stops to think how easy it is to buy parts today. “Service stations everywhere make it difficult to get more than twentyfour hours away from replacement parts, regardless of where the mo-, torist drives. “Also, the auto owner is driving his car farther and harder than he used to, and he is driving it the year around, no matter what the weather happens to be.” THE BEE'S AGE The quantity of nectar gathered. by a colony of honeybees does not depend merely on the number of bees in the colony during the honey flow, says the U. S. Department of Agriculture. It depends, rather, upon the number of bees that are of the proper age to serve as nectar gatherers when the honey How

Youth Professes to Scorn Life Imprisonment to • Death. By Leon M. Siler VEA Service Writer P 1” OTTSVILLE, Pa., Dec. 25. A 15-year-old boy who at 14 i__J savagely murdered his grandmother waits with Idullard unconcern In the county jail here for the State’s Anal decision as to whether he shall be electrocuted. The boy prisoner is Willie Cavalie. Battling to save his life are his mother, Mrs. Ruth De Angelo, and two young attorneys. Their last hope is pinned In an appeal to the State board of pardons and the Governor’s office. Commutation of the sentence to life Imprisonment Is sought. The board of pardons will hear this plea In January.

Whatever reoommendatlon the board makes may be acted on favorably or unfavorably by the Governor. Meanwhile, execution of the youth has been for the week of Feb. 1, in the State Prison at Rockview. Capital punishment is reserved for adults in most states. But in Pennnsylvania, the electric chair Is for child and adult alike. Youth and age are meted the grimmest of equalities. Every member of the Schuylkill County Jury which convicted the youth, Attorney Charles W. Staudenmeler has been Informed, will sign the appeal for commutation. At the county Jail, In abrupt, jorky monotones, the boy prisoner says: “Oh, I’m all right. “I don’t care what they do," This 15-year-old nominee for the death chamber Is blond, tall slender, shallow-eyed, furtive-looking.

Eliminate Plowing to Save Labor Bv If El Service LIND. Wash.. Dec. 25. Farmers In the northwest have tried for many years to reduce the labor of field cultivation by reducing the amount of plowing by cutting shallower Into the ground. But farmers in this district have taken the ultimate step and have dene away with plowing. This *fundamontal farm operation is being avoided by merely disking and then proceeding with the summer fallow as though It had been plowed. The farmers admit that this may cause reduction of yields but It enables them to take care of twice as much ground without increasing lar bor costs.

viously is of subnormal Intelligence. “I don’t care anything about the pardon board,” he told me. “Might as well die as stay In Jail all your life.” His mother is a once-a-week visitor to Cavalier’s cell. But he greets her with little more warmth than he does any one else. Cavalier shot his grandmother, Catherine Cavalier, to death to get money to go to the movies, the State’s evidence Indicated. ’“Never Had Chance” Mrs. Emma Delbert was one of the jurors. "With some of the men on the panel, she said afterward that the jury misunderstood the Instructions of the Judge. They thought, she said, that even In a first degree murder conviction, the death penalty would not be obligatory. Cavalier went to school In Pottsville for a few years, and then had odd jobs around the railroad shops. But he didn’t hold any of h's Jobs long. Os his relatives by blood or marriage, only his mother the daughter of the murder victimsought to aid and comfort him after he was placed under arrest. “He never had a chance,” th mother told me. “Nobody ever was kind to him.” There was three-cornered trouble between the mother, the husband, and Willie’s grandparents after the boy’s birth, and Willie was left largely to shiftjor himself. Bo now he Is In the county Jail awaiting his trip to the chair—and professing to scorn the alternative of life Imprisonment which the lawyers’ appeal to the board of pardons makes possible.
