Survey Shows Motorists
Break Law With Impunity
WASHINGTON. D. C, Oct. 13
(Special) An average of one out
of five motorists in the metropoll
tan. areas Is charged with viola
tions of the traffic laws each year
This statement was issued by
national headquarters of the
American Automobile Association
today, based on a questionnaire
addressed by its safety depart
ment to police authorities of 50
cities, ranging In population from
50,000 to over 8,000,000. Com
plete returns were receired from
18 and partial returns from oth
ers. Following are some of the
striking facts developed by the
survey of the national motoring
body:
1. Th nnmber of persona charred
with riolatlons of the traffic lw in
eighteen metropolitan centers in 1927
wii Bl,2H2 as compared to 77,940 ten
years ao A
t. While ear registration in these eft- I
tea increased only 826 Der cent itt the
same period, there was a rain tit 688
per cent ia the ebarres of traffic vio
lations. 8. Only, six cities, namely. El Paso,
Teaas, Los A'ageles, Calif., Minneapolis,
Minn.. Worcester, Mass.. Caicafo. 111.,
and Denver, Colo., showed a percentage
of increase in car registrations greater
than the gain ia traffic violations.
4. Baltimore, Hi., showed the great
est increase in violation of the traffic
law with a' gain of 2075 per cent in
the ten year period, while car registrar
flona increased only 374 per cent.
5. Los Angeles, Calif., reported the
greatest increase in tear registrations,
with 1280 per cent, while the nnmber of
traffic violations gained 897 per cent.
"It is apparent from this sur
vey," said the A. A.A., "that the
multiplicity of traffic laws and
regulations has resulted in a gain
in the number charged with vio
lation of the law far greater than
lesthe increase in number of mo.
tor vehicles. It shows in a defin
ite w"ay the need for uniformity
w the basic rules for eoverninr
kraffic, in order that the car own
er may be free from the annoy
ance of arrest, which in many in
stances is based upon misunder
standing otfg! different regula
tions inv many cities."
Uniform Ordinance
The national motoring body
pointed euf that the uniform mu
nicipal traffic ordinance recently
prepared by eleven national asso
ciations concerned with traffic
Lpul safety, is specifically de
signed to remedy such a condi
tion. ."There is no more striking
Bvidence needed to show the mer
its of this plan than the condi
tions revealed in this survey" the
statement said.
"The number of traffic charg
es now facing police authorities
t nthe metropolitan areas Is great
ly hampering thework of hand
ling more serious violations of the
law and Is in addition a great
source of annoyance to car wn-
ers.
"This condition is murtber
complicated by the fact that hun
dreds upon hundreds of carving
traffic, rules, -anjd regulations
adopted by municipalities have
bewildered the motorist to the ex
tent that he is baffled In meeting
the changing conditions.
"Only through some degree of
'uniformity, such as is proposed in
tne Uniform Municipal Traffic Or
dinance, can it be hoped to regu
late traffic euocessfully and with
maximum cooperation from mo
torists ot the nation."

Its Popularity
Sparklinglines, bright colors
and dashing appearance, combined
with much, special equipment and
considerable design improvements
over those .or "touring cars as
ey were built and. known sever
al years ago, are features Chrysler
believes will win,- for the phaeton
it is announcing today as an ad
dition to its "7,5" body styles, a
popularity similar to that which
the company achieved with its
roadster when Chrysler -began re
creating "the vogue of the road
ster" four years ago.
The new ear has a custom body
of fire passenger capacity, with
distinctive design . that' instantly
attracts and holds attention. One
for seven, also on the "75" chas
sis, is to accompany it soon, j
"The design of the car is so
pleasing In its appeal to the eye
that it wilUattract immediate at
tention," says F. E. Sherwin, lo
cal Chrysler dealer (distributor.)
"Many of our regular roadster patrons-will
be among its first pur
chasers. It will also be bought by
many whose second car heretofore
has been a coupe or two-door se
dan. Objections Overcome
"Objections to the types of five
and seven passenger open cars,
as they were known several years
ago, were due to the air currents
Mhat proved bothersome to rear
seat passengers at steady highway i
driving speeds, and to the inade
quacy of the side curtains. Both
these difficulties, apparent in the
earlier days of the industry, have
been overcome by Chrysler's mod
ern design methods. Raising and
lowering of the top of old style
open care, also difficult, can be
easily as with any of the Chrysler
done with this new phaeton as
roadsters."
Changed tonneau construction
includes rear doors and rear body
lines higher, with windshield and
integral folding cowl for the rear
compartment offered as special
equipment. Both this and the
front windshield are of non-shat-terable
glass.
Flashing Color Scheme
The standard, color combination
is Mexican Turquoise blue, with
mouldings in Sarasota blue, strip
ed with Ivory. Both-blues are of
light shade and, in combination,
present a flashing appearance.
This same distinctive combination
of colorings is carried throughout
the car, including wheel spokes',
hub, felloe and brake drums, fen
ders, splash guards, radiator
shutters, gas tank and cover, an 1
other chassis parts. Tan-colored
Colonial grain hand-buffed leath
er is used for seat cushions, side
arms and arm rests.
Top is of special construction
and folds down completely when
lowered. It is finished in tan, the
fabrie being thoroughly dyed,
shrunk and waterproofed. All

curtain are removable, with space

.Four important advantage result from the
cooling system on the Ponriac Six and the"
Oakland All-American Sixa , system
which includes the famous crosnW radi
ator. And all of these advantages contribute
directly to improved cold weather performance,
although some of them are equally valuable in;
climates where higher than ordinary tempera
tures prevail In summer. .
The cross-flow radiator reduces to a minimum
losses of water andalcohol through boiling, one
'.of the common annoyances of winter driving.
' And it also reduces possibility of damage if the
water supply becomes low. The automatic ther

water circulation until the engine reaches correct ,
operating temperature. A a consequence the '
engine warms up quickly even though-it has

consequence, less choking is needed and less
dilution of crankcase oil occurs.
Because of the protection the cross-flow radiator
provides against losses of water and alcohol, the
Pontiac Six and the All-American Six require less
attention in winter than cars not similarly equip
ped. .Also, because they have the advantage of
thermostatic water control, these two cars reveal
" tar better performance than other cars In their
fields when the temperature is low
The cross-flow radiator is available only on the
