They have Playles call for their car and return it all washed, greased and ready for miles of driving. WASHINGTON, 1. f. Molor- 'dotti'a most strious ailment, name Jly. the dUVrsity of traffic regula tions, Is yielding to treatment und there are definite indications thut a movement toward traffic uni rormily on a national scale lias set in. This far-reaching announcement to the country's car owners mine from national headquarters of tho gUiici-lcan Automobile association today. It was made under the signature of Thos. 1. Henry, presi dent of Mhe national motoring body, who has completed a survey of what the organised motorists are doing to evolve !hc4r own na tional traffic code. "The agreement readied at Orand lEuplds Tor an ordinance for Michigan," said' Mr. Henry, "may be regarded as tho launching of tho uniformity movement in earn est. What Michigan has dona will eventually be. done by every stulo In Die union, and tho consumma tion of tho process will mean the ,end of the quack remedies that we have been applying to our traffic problems." Tlfo uniformity movement, Mr. Henry said, has been to a largo extent fostered and promoted hy the motor clubs affiliated with the A. A. A. Michigan's ordinance, on which legislative uetton will be postponed until after the next meeting of the Hoover conference, was initiated by the Detroit Auto mobile club which Becured tho uni form co-operation of state and city officials to bring it to a successful conclusion. Club Plays Trailing Role. "It is not only In Michigan," de clarvd Mr. Henry, "that tho or ganised motorists are making head way toward tho xniform traffic code needed by the country. In the. state of Washington tho Auto mobile club of Washington played a leading role In getting tho vari ous official, trade and civic, bodies to agree on a uniform state motor vehicle law which stands a splen did chance of being adopted by the stale, legislature when It meeta In a few weeks. "The Cleveland Automobile club performed a similar service In solving tho traffic problem of that city, while, many other A. A. A. clubs throughout thocot"Hry are engaged In similar work, thus; eliminating local differences und paving the way for national uni formity. "It is to bo expected' that the Hoover conference will find the work that has been done l- thu clubs a splendid basis on which to work. ' What Oils means is that the organized motorist himself Is evolving his own traffic code, that he will popularizo It and glvo it a measure of support that would be Imposslblo 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 traf fic codes It w ill be, found that tin y are virtually uniform with each other. 'nr Owner's Welfare Involved. "Tho A. A. A. clubs havo I ho national viewpoint on traffic con trol because they represent tho na tional car owner and must con sider his safety and welfare. Sec tionalism Is rapidly vanishing as a consequence. What Ihc Michigan A. A. A. Clubs have done can be done in California, In Florida or In Maine. f "This new plan -of safety through abolition of confusion In merely the process of building by starting with tho foundations. Heretofore there has been too much effort directed toward the im possible. Nationwide, abolition iof confusing motor laws In not pos sible tint 11 an automobllist can drive through his own state with out flndli g H necessary to con duet himself differently In each cltv and town. I'nlfonn codes In any state ll serve to convert the people of That state to the great need Tor standardization. It should be only a short step between that and nation-wide uniformity. State codes will be compromises and our experience bus been thut such compromises are universal. The people of Maine will find that they pre f i r. on the avernge, the same regulations os the people of Cali fornia, and vice versa."
