T OS ANGELES, May 23. Not un
til every person in the United
States owns a car will the laturatinn
point in automobile ownership be
reached, declares Earle C. Anthony,
one of the leading figures in the auto
world. He has just completed an ex
haustive tabulation to determine the
answer to this saturation question.
Anthony predicts amazing changes
for the automobiles tomorrow. Be
cause of our speed-like advancement,
he believes that the car of the next
few years will travel at a minimum
of HO miles per hour.
"Before the saturation point is
reached in America there will be a
radical change in our highway sys
tems," Anthony Bays. "The automo
bile is essentially an instrument of
speed.
"Any rules which hamper speed
and the more rapid transportation of
utilities and persons automatically
hamper national development and na
tional efficiency. I predict great
highway systems over, under and
around cities for the use of self
propelled vehicles.
"The automobile of the future, on
carefully guarded highways, most
likelv one-wny roods, will travel at
a minimum of 60 miles an-hour. Nat
urallv enoueh. there will be rules
that will insure the utmost safety.
"It is recognized that the self-propelled
vehicle offers the utmost in
transportation facilities, and more
and more the Illegitimate fly-by-night
motor car manufacturer is being eli
minated. "Competition, is so keen that only
manufacturers who have millions of
dollars invested and a tremendous
output can adjust their process to
give value received.
"In the matter of every American
citizen owning a motor car, we milst
first actually pave the way by new
and complete highway systems built
for the exclusive use of automobiles.
If this is not done the saturation
point in traffic will be reached be
fore the saturation point in automo
bile ownership."
SYSTEM ADVISED
By NEA Service
yASHINGTON, May 23. A un
iform system of numbering and
marking federal and state highways
throughout the country is to be de
vised, upon recommendation 'of the
joint board of state and federal high
way officials appointed by the secre
tary of agriculture.
Suggestions of this board tend to
ward the establishment of simplicity
and uniformity in marking the main
highways of the country. For this
purpose a definite design has been
suggested as highway marker for all
routes.
The design which is still tentative,
consists of a United States shield with
a white background and bearing in
black letters "U. S.,M the route num
ber in large numerals and the name
of the state.
Warning and direction signs nlso
will be uniform In design, if the sug
gestions of the bonrd nre adopted.
. Rnilrond crossing 'signs will be
round, danger of stop signs octago
nal, caution signs diamond shaped,
attention signs square, and informational-
signs rectangular,
Colors tentatively adopted for non-
luminous signs are yellow for warn'
ing and danger signs, and white for
route markers and directional signs.
Luminous signs will he red for dan
ger, yellow for caution, and green
to "go.
All signs will lie standardized also
as to sizes and type of lettering.

latest
record reported to the. Paige-Detroit
Motor Car company for ita new Jew-
!ett Sir.
The information was about to bo
filed away with a mass of other reo
ords held by the Jewett when further
down on the page was observed the
information that the record wa
made by two girls. Misses Jeanne
Kcbiuson and Catherine Narup. The
far is owned by Miss Robiuson.
The two girls left Spokane with
the avowed intention of breaking the
overland record and succeeded by sev
eral hours, according to the report
irom Los Angeles. Misi Robinson
was ill two days previous to the start
of the record-brwaking run and it was
unly against the advice of her phy
su'iim that she attempted the trip.
Miss Nitrun was going to California
anyway to recuperate from a strenu
ous winter devoted to music.
The start was made from Spokane
at S;H0 a. in., Monday, April 43th.
They had laid out a scehdule and
were considerably depressed when
they found themselves five hours late
in Portland, having been forced to
make two long unexpected detours en
route. Grimly determined to get back
on schedule the girls stopped only
an hour in Portland and at 2 a. in.,
Tuesday morning were away again.
eleven hours after entering the state
of Oregon they were crossing its
boundary line into California.
Reading, California, reached at 7:30
p. m., Tuesday. Bv this time both
of the girls were so exhausted that
they were driving only two hours at
a stretch, then changing places, one
sleeping and the other handling the
Jewett.
Sacramento was reached at 2:30 a.
m., Wednesday. Coffee helped them
brace up a bit here and they were
off , again in a few minutes.
Bakersfield was reached at noon
Wednesday. It took the girls from
1 o'clock that afternoon until 4:45
reaching the city limits of Los An
geles where th'ey were met by a guide
car which took them through the city
to the Western Union office where
the girls officially checked their time.
The total elapsed time was 57 hours
and 57 minutes. Twelve hours and
1 7 minutes were spent in changing
tires, replacing fuel and grabbing a
sandwich or two.
The girls reported that the Jewett
Six touring car used gallons of gas
oline on the trip, an average of better
than 20 miles to the gallon. Six
quarts of oil were placed in the
crankcase prior tothe start and no
mechanical trouble of any kind de;
veloped.
"Our only trouble, in fact, was traf

of them were kindly when wo told
them what we were up to, helped us
along the way. One efficient police
man near Grants I'sbs did mnko us

information on th subject of traffic.
In this work, up to the time of
the meeting, a ceiinux of traffic con-
discussion will concern the mainte
nance of special - roads for ; motor
traffic alone. In this discussion will
enter the matter of conditions that
ditions and problems will be made in justify construction of such roads.

is expected, a basic law will bo ap

in each participating country, so as
to bring it limit s more uniform regu

neighboring countries.
Development and planning of
towns will be another important con
sideration during the meeting. Re
ports will bo received on the sue
cesses or failures in planning locali
ties for the control of traffic, and on

will be attempted.
Another important question under
what authorities would be needed for
their initiation and construction, fi
nancial arrangements, contributions
from public funds, the matter of
tools, rules for traffic circulation and
exploitation, relationship and connec
tion between motor roads and other
highways in the interests of safety
and the continuity of traffic gener
ally. Highway construction and mainte
nance will be the other goueral sub
