lice departments and traffic
squads in the haadllng of traffic
and the eKmination of speed
maniacs, reckHss operators, and
all persons whose driving is a
menace to other users of the
streets and highways.
Branches Established
In Washington, branch stations
of the touring bureau are being
established with the idea o' not
only making it more convenient
for members to obtain touring In
formation but 3so to make such
information available earlier and
later in the day than has been
the case lieretofoic at the ma n
offices. This plan probably will
be follbwed in New York City.
Other plans incluil; a printed Ha
of all the campsites in the country
together with a resume of the con
ditions under which they may be
used: also a reliable and recom
mended hotel service for touring
motorists, and a national string of
guaranteed garages and repair
shops.
Renewal Incrrav
Although it haf been necessary
to explain in many instances why
the membership fee has been In
creased.1 the percentage of renew
als continues high and the new
membership campaign inaugurat
ed recently it meeting with suc
cess everywhere. With a lafse
force of solicitors already em
ployed" in Washington and, New
York City, more are being" aaaea
each week with n view to tratntn
and equipping men for field service.
The men solng Into the field
will cover the entire country and
they will go to trotnote member
