I ' When you see a smile steal over
j the face of a man reading anewB-
paper in the street car and when
I you see the crinkles begin to ra
diate from the corners of his eyes,
lit may be that he is reading about
a drop in the price of gas.
More likely, howevef , he a ra
dio fan 'gloating overtheTtact that
"the price of all tubes has. gone
down to $3.00." ' .-

needing any new tubes for years

faction in receiving such a valen

"What are the coming problems in

what the A.A.A; is already doing
to prepare' for thelr-TSolution.

Important problems. Just , the In

would change . the whole pic-
. ture."; ... ; .. :
;v ifr.. Henry also gives special at
tention to the possibilities in mo
tor problems. " ;
; VOne of, the most serious prpr
blema anticipated fby the A.AJL"
he .says, ."is that of safeguarding
the 'motorist's health ; In congest
ed , driving. The problem of the
poisonous exhaust is m becoming
more 'and more serious, and with
.the ppming of vehicular tubes un
de? large water-ways, as well i as
thi ; development of underpasses
at prominent street intersections,
it is' going to-be a serious matter
to safeguard the people who do
not want their health impaired.
i "A problem of singular charac
ter Is that being created by the
growing uses of the automobile.
Thousands "of people are riding
more hours of the day than they
walk. Teaching the motorists to
walk safely will, therefore, be
part of an automobile club's ac
tivities. ;; ; -T " '
r "Prevention of misuse of safetr
features" is Just . ahead. People
are finding greater safety In more
powerful, brakes, gripping balloon
tires, flexible motors, better body
visibility' and many other safety
devices, but they are not learning
the importance of being just as
cautious as they were when these
devices and. improvements were
not available. , .

tinuing ta Te..cautioua .even after

: "The gasoline tax Is going to
become ; a; serious, problem before
long. 'lltia tfiV "easiesfway yet'
devised for "taxing , the motorist,
and therein lies the danger.-'
i ."The gas tax in most states will
probably go to. five cents a gallon
or more unless it is ' vigorously
checked. A number of the affil
iated AjA.A. clubs are preparing
for this fight by resisting tbe tax
altogether. ; . i ' '..V" ;f -'l-"Commercial

problem that will have to be met.
The roads are not adapted to both
types. One of the most difficult
problems in motoring is to break
down the old order; of things.
Passenger cars and trusks hate
always occupied , the same high
ways. - This fact will be the most
annoying obstacle in the work of
segregating the two. 1 " -
