ABOARD THE RODES FAMILY TOURIST SPECIAL, , Aug. 1,—Charles G. Rodes isn't sorry so far that he proposed this 6,000 mile pleasure trip of his relatives, for which he is footing the bill. He's enjoying it immensely, Some overnight millionaii skyscrapers to their memo} ers give public playgrounds to their city; still others lose their wealth in gamble, but it has fallen to Rodes to develop the latest thing in family reunions. STATE TOCURR AUTO SPEEDING (Continued From Page One) with an easy hand and take into con- sideration the conditions under which the breach of the limit is made. For instance, a car with an open road before it, making 40 or 45 miles per hour is generally allowed to go on its way without reprimand. It is in dangerous spots and heavy traffic such as the oil field roads, and parts of the highway which lead through small unincorporated towns that the officer is instructed to exercise his authority. . Cases brought to justice by th state police will be heard before a jus- tice of the peace, as the offense is one committed against the laws of the state and therefore cannot be sheard before city officials. Mr. Bowman wishes to assure the motorists of this section that the establishment of the new patrol is meant in no way to antagonize, bit simply. to place some official. con- trol over the open road as well as the cities, for more than 50 per cent of the avoidable accidents in which motor cars play the stellar roles are open road affairs. ee RECEPTION GIVEN NEW MOON CARS CALLS FOR SPEEDING PRODUCTION The enthusiastic public reception given the new Moon cars for 1926 which were announced last week lowed by an unusually large number of orders from distributors and deal- ers throughout the country, has made necess 2 drast upward in the present Moon S duction schedule cording to Fr erick H. Re General Sale Manager of the Moon Motor Car company. Rengers further sald “This un- precedented demand for the new Moon,cars for 1926 is unequalled by any prévious record of this organi- vation and it means day and night work at our plant.at full capacity in order to take care of the rush of orders on the new Moon 1926 mod- os. We-are daily receiving by wire, phone and mail urgent requests from our distributors and dealers ail over the country to have thell dera filled, many of them that their stocks on hand hausted even now one week after the introduction of the new Moon cars for 1925, Many of our dealers in anticipation of the big demand for the new Moon cars for 1926 had previously stocked extra these new models but in”a number of cases this preca’ failed to take care of the deman#. During the past week we have had at the plant an unusually large num- ber of dealers, nearly all of whom urgently ‘requested us to fill thelr orders #0 that they could drive the cars out at once.

Party Members Insured It is to be doubted, however, if the new style family reunion will come Into general usage, as this lit- tle affair-is costing Mr, Rodes, a multi-millionaire, a trifle more than $40,000. Part of this expense is for $5,000 insurance policies he took out for each member of the group. The Rodes special started from his home in Fort Lauderdale, with only a few members of the family. As the special wound its way through the south it increased the size of + family and when it reached Kanas City the family had grown to 42. At Emporia, Kansas, seven more Aboarded the train, at Clovis, N. My still more, “Just a few of the folks,” is the way Rodes introduces his relatives whenever the train aroused the cu- riosity of newspapermen. .‘Some of ‘the family hadn't seen other members’ for many years,” he explains, “and it occurred to me this way we could all. get in touch again, and at the same time learn a great’ deal by traveling over the country together. So I eee iaerere mee — Cw CH The Rodes tourists as the y appeared in Kansas City, | invited them to join in, and here we are.” | In the party are three brothers and four sisters of Mr. Rodes, ‘The other members of the party are un- married nieces and nephews. The Rodes family physician and his wife are along to guard the health of the entire family. Left Some Behind “I had to draw a line semewhere,” Mr. Redes said apologetically. “Oth- erwise we would have had to have several special trains to take us all. So I am only taking the unmarried nephews and nieces. There are no uncles and aunts along, either, this trip.” ‘The ages in the group range from 2 years to 54 years, Rodes went to Florida from West Virginia in 1909. Two years ago he sold the seed store hé operated here and began developing and selling real estate. Fortune came to him quickly, as it has to many others in the selling end of the “Florida real estate. game,” as it is referred to cown here. Wealth didn’t make him forget his “poor relations.”” The route of the expedition lies across the country from Fort Lau- deréale to California, and into M co, and back to Oak Hill, W. Auguste Braggeman, _profcs- seurs a I'Instiut d’Urbanisme de V'Universite de Paris, is quoted as saying that “the present vital problem of traffic in every mod- ern town is largely the result of an inadequate or insufficient street plan. The methodical re- search made by city planners of traffic experts to improve the actual conditions of street cir- culation, as well as the various temporary remedies for conges- tion, show that no definite solu- tion is.to be found in police reg- ulation, which only gives an ap- parent relief, in spite of the fav- orable results obtained from their application.” What Professor Bruggeman points out is the experience of every community large enough to have a real trafic problem. Police control of traffic is only part of the solution. Those who planned omr cities years ago knew nothing about motor cars. If. they had been WALTER P. CHRYSLER’S TRAFFIC TALKS Che Casper Sunday Cribune gifted with vision our cities would look much different today. The problem of city builders is to anticipate the trafic problems of ten, twenty and thirty years from now. Our trafic problems become more serious as the nurn- ber of motor cars increase, as the number of tall buildings in- crease, and as our cities grow. The wise city is the city which plans its future. That city will begin now to anticipate its prob- lems. ; F\ where a two-day celebration will be held. ‘Th aany members of the Rodes family live | UX Dy) UU (tt “Some-aré wise and some are otherwise” Have you noticed the rapid increase in the number of motorists who use Michelin Tires?
