BALE.M. Aug. 9. (P) It ill not the desire of Secretary of State! Hubs Hoss, cx-offlclo hcud of the atato traffic department, or T. A. Haffety, chief state truffle inspec tor, thut officers In thn emiilnv of the trafic department ' shall j "sneak up" on motorists In the hopes of multiplying- the- number or arrests for truffle violations. That 1g one reason why auto mobiles and motorcycles used by the department are ta be painted distinctive colors. When this Is dune the presence of officers on the roads may he more easily de tected by motorists with the re fill! traffic regulations may be complied with without personal contact between officer and trav eler. From Secretary Moss the order has ono to Chief Haffety to have' the automobiles of tho officers re painted, with white bodies and black tups, also with tlu Insignia of the department stamped on doors. Motorcycles are to bo painted all white. Distinctive colors for' traffic cars and eyelet? have been adopted in a number of other states. Secre tary Hoss said and tho policy is a success. The Oregon traffic department has a fleet of 44 automobiles and l!i motorcycles. Tho cycles are used for light, quick work and I'linoi t entirely on paved high ways. Experience, has proved that motorcycles are not practical on any but paved roads and it has been found that the maintenance cost of the .automobiles, many of Ihem or tho small and cheaper makes, - Is hot - ntuuh TmoW than tho expense of'' keoplng up the cycles. Another advantage over cycles is that the automobilCB pro tent the. officers from weather and other hazards. The number of carp owned by the department. Chief Raffety said. Is necessary because of the various' duties of the officers. Their service Is not confined en tirely tu traffic. They travel tho byways and country roads of the state, correcting errors of license applicant, mistakes In title regis trations and other things that sometimes cannot ho done by mail. It is not known just how "tioun the cars will appear In their new dress. The paint has to be done with a minimum loss of men nn duty. ANTWERP. Belgium.
