' HARRISBURG STAR-INDEPENDENT, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 16, 1915. OF INTEREST TO MOTORISTS AUTfIISTS WAN! CONGRESS TO PASS THE ADAMSON BILL Measure Would Not Require Taking Out of An Additional License When Machine Is Operated in An An other State Congress now will be asUed by a mil lion and a lialf of motor car users to pass the Adamson measure. Tho American Automobile Association, lias taken the matter in hand, and Presi dent John A. Wilson will confer in Washington with Representative Wil liam C. Adamson. of Georgia, chairman of the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce, and the author of a commonsense measure concisely set forth in the following extract: "No person who shall have qualified by complying with the laws and regula tions of the state, territory or district of his residence to use and operate such vehicle or vehicles shall be required in any other state or territory or district into which he may go for business or pleasure to make any additional reg istration or take out any additional license in order to use and operate any such machine." For some time the Adamson measure has rested in committee awaiting a de cision by the United States Supreme Court on what has been known as the "Maryland Case," wherein » resident of the District of Columbia contended that he had the same right as any other vehicle owner to the use of Mary land roads as long as he had provided himself with au identification number from his home district, and thus made it possible to apprehend him in case he violated any of the highway laws of the commonwealth. But in the decision rendered bv the highest court in the land, written by Justice Mcßeynolds and concurred in by all the justices, it is held that in We extend you a most hearty invitation to visit The New Home of The Haynes Car America's Greatest Light Six now sold and distributed by Roberts & Hoin Salesroom: No. 334-Chestnut Street Don't Throw Away Your Old Tires Bring thorn to us for repair.

Auto Transportation Machine Shop No. .5 North Cameron St., Harrisburg, Pa. **— j the absence of a national law a state luis a perfect right to enact whatever laws it may see fit in relation to tho automobile. Furthermore Justice Mc- Revnolds holds that "the movement of motor vehicles over the highways is attended by constant and serious danger to the public, and is also ab normally destructive to the highway itself." Further on the Justice states: "In the absence of national legislation covering the subject, a state may right fully proscribe uniform regulations necessary for public safety and order in respect to the operation upon its highways of all motor vehicles—those moving in interstate commerce as well as others." President Wilson, of the A. A. A., commentirg upon the situation, says: "The inference of the highest court that there should be a national law covering the subject should prompt our immediate attention to the matter, for it is certainly a most unusual situa tion when a citizen of tho United States is not free to travel in any sec tion of the country after he has pro vided himself with an identification number from his home state. The Euro pean countries, with different, lan guages and different customs, have agreed upon an international plate of identity, and also an international triptyque relating to customs duties. For instance, a motorist of France after having obtained a home number — which incidentally allows him to op erate a car ju any part of France— then obtains "in his own country an international plate which is acceptable in practically every other country in Europe, and he can cross and re-cross international boundary lines without i any trouble whatever. Surely if Kuro j pean countries can agree in a matter j of this sort, it does not seem reason able that the several states of the t'nion and the Capital district of the , country should bo unable to provide | for free and uninterrupted roads travel. It is now generally recognized that a j state must provide sturdier rond con struction because of the multiplying of i a taster and more economical road ve hicle. With a logical plan of federal participation with the several states a large percentage ot highways expense of an interstate character properly i would be transferred to the national | government."—Adv.* Calls on Auto Accessory Dealers ( .

"The most practical method ot\ I maintaining the proper motor tempera ture is to use some sort of temperature : indicating device in tho radiator and. then cover up a part of the radiator ; accordingly.
