leg-room, in the rear seat. ; v
f'Wide doors permit passengers
in! the fear seat getting in .and
oujt without requiring th 'riders
in j the front seat to leave their
seats. " The width of the doors is
36 - Inches. '
"The lines and big windows in
the side and-rear give to the ex
terior the beauty that makes this
new model the smartest coach on
the market. -The upper corners
of j the back , have a ball end: This
rounded smoothness fits in with
the radiator and hood design. A
final touch of artistry is given to
the design by a- belt holding,- here

TRAFFIC TALKS WL
MUST PLAN FOR CITY OF TOMORROW
When the pioneers of the West

cities they evidently profited by t
the mistakes made; in the East.
Western cities as I a whole . are
tnuch better planned than those
of the East. And they should be
because the builders had an op
portunity to profit I from the ex
perience of the older municipali
ties.' - , j -1
There are today hundreds ol
small towns which think they
have no traffic problem and con
sequently are making j no plans
for the future, lti is a mistake.
Most communities' have ambi
tions to grow and every live com

Plenty,. of' space should be allow

These same towns!-in laying
out new streets, should see that
they are plenty wide enough.
They can't be too wide. Look at
the number : of communities
which are planning! highway

Houses should be! set back

of lawn area if the ground is
available. .
Every community some day
will have, its' traffic problem.
Some small ones have, it today
because they have allowed state
highways to connect f with main
streets. State highways should
go around cities rather than
through them. To'bej Sure, there
