By J. C. ROYLE (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, Aug. 30. > The United States, with nearly 15 mil- lion automobiles in operation, has become a nation on wheels, and there has been a marked profit to those communities which have ~in- vested money in bu'lding and main- tenance of roads on which those wheels must run. The tourist busi- ness has become’ one of the really big industries of the country and reports from var'ous scenic centers in the last few weeks show beyond question that the public is using ‘ts cars for sightseeing purposes. Wealth in quantities {is spent where tour nd such traffic 8 a spot cash business, runn'ng into » hundreds of millions of dollars nnvally. It 1s increasing in direct yportion to the improvement of highways.- This is con- shown jn the case of Call- a, which laid out a far-sighted |plan years ago to attract tourist traffic from other states and hold !t. Prior to the San Diego and San Francisco expositions, the state la'd a great network of concrete boule-| vards, 15 feet wide and four inches} thick. The state engineers knew this roadbed was not heavy enough to hold future traffic, so they called these roads a “base,” planning later to put on a top surfacing. In 1915, tNe state has completed 575 miles the heavy surfaced roads and has 3500 miles of permanent > highw! six to elght |inches ‘thick and 20 feet wide in many sections. there were 300,000 mo- in California in 1923, accord’ng to the State Automobi'e Association, who spent an average of $10 a day apiece for an average stay of 30 days. ‘That put about $90,000,000 from other states in cir- culation in California and experts confidently expect this summer will grow to over $100,000,000 for the current year. The state of Washington, with over 1,000 miles of concrete roads, s coming in for its fujl share of such traffic. The Seattle chamber of commerce states that in one month this summer 150,000 automobiles from ‘other states, Alaska and Ha- wail entered the state alone on the way to British Columbia. In 1923, some 63,000 cars entered British Co- lumbia from the United States and dominion officials place the value of tourist traffic to Canada at $136,- 000,000 annually. In Colorado there were 643,015 campers cared for in the automobile camps of that state last year and with favorable weather that total will undoubtedly be surpassed this season. Towa has over As a resul tor tourists 200 tourist camps seattered within its borders, each Governor Louis F. Hart extending an official welcome to the Transcontinental Ten Millionth Ford car at the state line, Interstate Bridge, near Vancouver, Washington. Congressman Elton representing the people of Oregon, also was present to extend Oregon's Big Industries of Country Now Count Tourist Traffic Among Their Number With In- crease in Motor Traveling. So valuable hag tourist travel be- come to Wisconsin that- some sec- tions of highway are patrolled by boy scouts who act as gu'des to the travelers. ‘The 2,500 miles of concrete high- ways in New York have béen the drawing card which has pulled mo- torists from every section of the land. And it is estimated that more than half a million tourists will pass through the Finger Lakes reg- fon alone this year, spending an average of $10 a day each. Eng!- neers say this is a direct return from the $15,000,000 hard surface roads program of the state in se- curing which the thirty chambers f commerce in the Finger Lakes association were prominent. The government !s showing a dl- rect profit from-its roa parks, altho nof*benefiting from the ordinary day to day expenditures. S'nce 1916 $1,466,000 in federal funds have been used on roads in the parks and in the same period $1,511,233 has been collected in fees from automobiles using these roads. It is expected between 300,000 and 400,000 automobiles will visit the arks this: year and an appropria- |tion of $7,500,000 has been made for within their Hm-} road construct‘on its in the next three years. From hgnd to mouth may be all right, for a quet tab'e, but when appligd to buying, ‘it is, bitterly op- sosed by the 2,000 delegates to the Nat'onal Council of Traveling Men's Association, which met here today. They declare this policy on the part of retailers is entailing higher costs on consumers, ‘They admit, how- ever that retailers are as firm in favoring this pol'cy as they are in opposing it.

Sapulpa, Okla., says: “()) Hand and arm held upward to indicate a turn to the right; (2) hand and arm held downward to in- dicate a turn to the left; (3) hand and arm extended horizontally to in- dicate a stop. New Rochelle, N. Y., says: “To stop—arm extended from left side of car and pointed upward. “To turn left—arm extended from left side of car and held horizontally. “To turn right-arm extended from left side of car, hand to be moved in circle to the front.” Why should the two cities have different hand signals? Wouldn't it be better to have them standardized in all parts of tho United States.

These profits have been tangible in -that they came through largely increased business, according to reports received by the Paige-Detroit Motor Car com- pany from dealers through that sec- tion.
