Uniform motor code urged by national safety conference
Washington reports a national conference on street and highway safety has forwarded a three act model for a uniform motor code. The acts cover vehicle registration and title certificates, licensing of operators and chauffeurs, and a highway operation act. Provisions include drunken driving restrictions, speed limits, at grade crossing safety, vehicle weight and construction rules, penalties for theft or fraud, and driver age limits of 16 for operators and 48 for chauffeurs with stricter rules for school bus and public passenger vehicle drivers. The committee favors waiving exams for seasoned drivers and excludes habitual drug users from licensing.

A fragmentary list urges reckless driving practices such as speeding through alleys and near trains, ignoring rail crossings, and weaving around curves. It mocks safe habits and promotes risky behavior with tone that trivializes the dangers of high speed and poor judgment.
Fragmented civic advice on road courtesy and conduct
A fragmented excerpt urges pedestrians and drivers to act with courtesy. It mentions dry cleaners and a cut-out approach, advising against honking except for specific occasions. The text is garbled but centers on courteous behavior and avoiding road noise.
Six More Makes Added to Those Which Absorb Tax
Waterloo dealers in six additional cars have announced they will absorb the 2 per cent reduction in the excise tax of the federal tax measure before the date it becomes effective March 27. Although the reduction in car prices to consumers must be paid by factory or dealer on every car sold prior to March 27, the benefit goes to customers so none need be sold off on purchase until the tax is removed. Cars added to the list include Buick Chrysler Ford Overland Studebaker and Willys Knight.
