WBrfllUaSBHS THE EUGENE Q D ABU STOP LIS, NOT SPEED LIS, TO Hy I SRAL'I. KLKIN f NKA Service Writer) With the new tendency to discard peed limits as an unsatisfactory way of rontmlHng traffic, chines an even newer plan for the safetv of the road.

He explains mitted. it in the May issue of the Scientific ' "One of the principal values of such American. a system is that it- would take into Aecord'ng to Slnuson. speed Itmitn- I consideration, absolutely .and auto tion is too arbitrary. Conditions vary mark-ally, all conditions then prevail to such an extent, even in the snme;jn(( which would affect the stopping territory that motorists must be lim- ! ability of the car or of the driver ited in a more stable and a more def- i m question." mite manner, Whnt we reallv intend to do when , we enact fpeed laws," siys Slauson. j "8 to insure that the ('river will hnve the car under control at nil times." Weather Changes Thirty miles an hour may be a safe enough sored on a certain highway , under definite condition. Hut if the ; road is wet and M'ppery. a driver j going at that speed could not stop I hi car half so easily 'as he could on 1 a drv surface. j "Therefore,'' suggests Slausnn, in effect, "let's discard speed laws and ' nnct stop laws. Let's set definite iJMnnres at which drivers nrght he compelled to stop under emergencies and reouire motorists to run along nt n speed at which they could stop their cars within thp specified d! lai.ee." Thus one driver, w'th good hrskes. a light car. and alert in mind, may be able to drive faster than another driver less alert, with a heavier car and per Imps poorer brakes, so louff p hot It stop w:i bin A required dis tance.

Then, no matter what the condition of the road, orof the motorist's car. this rule will apply at all times. Distance Unchanged On a clear day, with good brakes land n light car a motorist may go ' 20 miles nn hour and be able to stop within 15 feet. But on a rainy day, that same car may have to be driven !nt about 10 miles an hour to stp i in the same distance. That is the essentia! point the short, emergency atop, Slauson ' stresses. "So long as it is the inability to stop in time which is the cause of I most accidents," he says, 'Met us go i directly to the source of the trouble, i Let us require that every car shall be driven only at such a rate that ( it may be brought to a complete l standstill within specified distances; Insurance Goes Down Competition among insurance com panies for automobile business in To ronto has brought rates down 20 per cent.
