Roaas are better, cara are easier to atart and o Derate, and people hare adopted the automobile aa a year round method of transportation, when ten rears ago the average driver stored Ills car throughout' the win ter months. . 'The greater mileage In July and s August Is accounted for : by the fact that most persons are on vacation In these months, and do more driving than at other times in the year. Miller figures Indi cate that 10 per cent of the year's driving is done in-each ' of .those two months. January appears as the month when least driving. Is done, taking the country as a, .whole..

LEGISLATORS ASKED FOB IFSi CODE (Continued from Page 11) complicated the situation in many instances. As the horizon of the automo bile moved beyond local bounds. It became apparent that the "pro pitious time for formulation of a uniform code was at hand. Where motor traffic had been largely In trastate, boundary lines were rapidly disappearing and a whol ly" unnecessary "confusion 'was be lne . caused - by the aniamlllarits of. drivers -with what was expected! of them when they went beyond their home localities. dagger ing statistics 'of the economic losses -chargeable to unscientific and Inadequate regulation of traf fic startled the country, a cofser- vatlve estimate placing the figure at l2,000,00o,000:a year; Twenty thousand people, were being killed each year and half a 'million in lured The' realization that some thine must V dnna arre'w and ont of this emerged the first "national effort to find a solution. Vehicle Code" Evolved . Committees were, appoin ted to delve Into every vital phase of the traffic problem, including statistics, traffic control, con struction and engineering, city planning and zoning. Insurance, the motor vehicle, education and public relations. Their findings, were reviewed by the first con ference. During the two years intervening before the second conference was held committees continued hard at work on addi tional questions of enforcement causes- of accidents and metro polita traffic facilities, while a, special committee on uniformity of laws and regulations. In coop, oration with' the national confer ence of commissioners on uniform state laws and the American bait association, evolved the frame work of a uniform vehicle code. This contribution, embodying numerous features of existing state laws, underwent the closest scrutiny of every authority and interest which could contribute to its perfection and in its final form was considered in detail by the second conference, in which nearly a thousand delegates from every state In the union. Including official representatives appointed by the governors of forty-three states, participated, - Divided in to four individual acts, the train ers draft was aprored and reeom" mended to the legislatures, of the states. :... . . Fifteen States. Adopt It has never been contended that the code should be adopted by. every state without the cros sing of a "Tt or the dotting of an "I". but It Is laid down as a con structively helpful guide for traf- fie. laws improvement embodying as it does the thought of the most profound students . of the problem 'and 'the experience of the whole country.' T Its" use as the basis of their legislations for unl form regulation of traffic for the: protection, of Ufe and I property and the orderly movement of commerce has been, widely ap proved. Subsequently there., was, drawn up a model municipal traf fic ordinance which, in complete harmony with the uniform vehicle code, provides "for "the' regulation of traffic in Its local aspects. ; Amonga states which have al ready "a'do'lted the' advanced rules of the road based on the uniform cbde, or have revised their laws to secure closer conformity there with. are: Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, North" Carolina, North Dakota, Idaho, Michigan, Minnesota, Arkansas, Louisiana Arizona, Washington, New Hamp shire, California and Oregon, 'Pennsylvania repealed its various laws and adopted practically the, complete code, while North Caro-j Una, North Dakota and Idaho adopted all save the licensing act. The action of the New Hampshire, California and Oregon was in the nature of the revision of existing laws. The states most recently acting were Louisiana and New Jersey, the latter's action ' being directed toward uniformity of municipal ordinances as well as of state laws. Deductions for Car Owners Under Internal Revenue is Made Plain by A ssociation Deductions from, the gross In come allowed car owners under the regulations of the Bureau of In ternal Revenue on account of au tomobile ownership and operation were outlined in a recent state ment by the American Automobile association today.
