TRALERSONALTOS MUST HAVE PLATES Motor Vehicle Dept. Issues Warning to Gampers Hartford, July 6.—Summer camp- ers and tourists have their attention called to the Conpecticut' laws which reguire registration of motor vehicle trailers and the crating of animals carried on tfe running boards of au- tomobiles, in “A Little Manual for Motorists,” issued by the state mo- tor vehicle department. Many ‘“points worth knowing” concerning motor vehicle laws of the state are included in the pamphlet. In addition to supplying those on the regular mailing list of the depart- ment, additional copies are to be made available; upon request, to mo- torists, The manual discusses the new laws effective July 1, the pro- cedure incident to securing an opera- tor's license and vehicle registration necessary equipment and accessories, road regulations, and points of law often puzaling to car drivers and owners. Regarding motorized camping out- fits, the manual says that “with the coming of the camping season Wwe see many nondescript vehicles which are in eftect houses upon wheels and many vehicles which havé trail- ers attached. The house on wheels type is primarily a passenger carry- ing vehicle but secondarily it.is de- signed and used for carrying of merchandise, and the present prac- tice iy to register it under a ‘com- bination registration.’” The registration of a trailer, used exclusively in connection with camp- ing or any other recreatignal pur- poses, is secured upon regular appli- cation and the payment of a fee of two dollars. Fees for trallers used commercially are based upon carry- ing capacity. “If an enimal is carried outside of th hody of a motor vehicle,” the manual says “it must be confined in a crate. Any load outside of and to the left of the body of a motor vehi- cle shall not project beyend the edge of the running board.” The briet but forceful advice that “effective brakes are absolutely es- sential to safe operation,” is'given in a discussion of equipment. ‘“The law is that brakes shall-be of suffi. clent power to lock the wheels of the vehicle while it is {h niotion.” Occasionally the department hears of colored lights upon the front of automobiles. The manual points out that “no light which is visible from the front should be of any other color than white or amber tint, ex- cept in the case of jitneys, when a speelal permit may be gbtained.” Among other points brought to attention in the manual are the fol- lowing: i . “Fire apparatus and police pa- trols' may be equipped wjth siren horns, but no other vehicle can be 80 equipped excgpt by permit. “Driving durifig hours requiring artificial light with only one head- lamp lighted, is most reprehensible and a violation of law. To forestall such & condition spare bulbs should always be carried for emergency use. . “The law provides that no article shall be attached to any motor vehi- cle in such a manner as to obstruct the driver's view of the highway. “Any owner of a commercial vehicle who allows it to carry an overload may suffer revocation of the registration of that vehicle. “A motor vehicle with the engine running must- not stand upon any highway unless there is someone in the car capable of controlling it, or the brakes are set. “There is no law specifically pro- hibiting the riding of three persons on the front seat of a motor vehicle, but if such.a practice results in crowding the driver and preventing him from exercising full control, it is quite possible that he would be open to a charge of reckless driv- ing, in case of any accident occurred. “Many questions arise as to the right of motor vehicle owners on the highways jn regard to animals which are either being driven on the high- ways or have strayed into . them. There are, of course, many instances where injury done to animalg is. un- avoidable but in general the observ- ance of reasonable care on the part of the motorists will enable him to use the highways without becoming involved in any of the unpleasant incidents connected with the injur- ing of dogs and other small ani- mals. When the motorist meets ani- mals which are unaccompanied by anyone, regardless of any laws, it is obviously the duty of the operator to exercise foresight and considera- tion. “Ambulances answering a call or taking patients to a hospital and fire appartus on the way to fires have the ‘right of Way.' All other vehi- cles must immediately get as far as possible to the right hand side of the highway and stop.” Sunday Afternoon Films | motion pictures matinees were le- | galized here last night by the board Jof aldermen, but only after consid- |erable opposition had been voiced [by a small minority who sought to have the question disposed of by the public at a special referendum at the I next city election.

DISASTROUS FIRE AT ATLANTIC CITY $300,000 Loss—Six- §mall Hotels Razed by Flames Atlantic City, N. J., July 6 (P— A carelessly tossed cigarette today was believed responsible for a fire that yesterday ate its way unnoticed under this resort's famous board- walk and before it was extinguished leveled a block of buildings, includ- ing six small hotels, and caused a propenty loss estimated at $300,000. The fire started near the Scatter- good amusement parlor, opposite the Million Dollar Pler, and spread from Missouri to Arkansas avenues. More than 500 persons, many clad only in bathing suits, lost, all their belongings, three firemen were overcome and a policeman was in- Jjured. Every fire company in the city was summoned and, as the flames gained headway, reinforcements from Ventnor were required before the blaze Was brought under con- trol after a three hour fight. A building housing an exhibit of the Remington Arms company caught fire and some of the 30,000 rounds of ammunition.stored there exploded. As a protective measure police bolstered the storefront with heavy sheet iron casing. An incubator containing fourteen babies in glass covered cribs was in the path of the flames and the in- fants were removed by physicians and nurses. The building, however, was not burned. Garage spaces/at either end of the block of flame offered vantage points to firemen. Concentrating their ap- | paratus there they poured streams of water into the burning mass suc- | cessfully confining the blaze within that boundary. In addition to the Scattergood | place the razed structures were: Broadway hotel, Singer's orangeade stand, Bela Napoli hotel, Unfon bus terminal, Remington Arms building, Regent, eLonard and Lutz hotels and a dozen homes. The Million Dol- lar. pler was in danger for a time, but the front of the pier was kept saturated with water and the struc- ture escaped damage.

Chamberlin and Charles A. Levine flew to Germany, will be used by the same aviators, as soon as it is brought back from Europe, in an attempt to break the world's endurance record which it establish- ed last April, Joseph B. May, secre- tary to Levine, said today. May pointed out that the Colum- bia carried seventy mfore gallons of gasoline to Germany than it did when it flew with Chamberlin and Bert Acosta for more than 51 hours to establish the endurance record. He sald approximately fifteen more gallons could be carried in place of equipment required by the trans- Atlantic hop. The Columbia carried 385 gallons on its endurance flight and 456 to Germany. The increased fuel would raise the total to 470 gallons or| engugh to keep the plane aloft more than sixty hours.

He hopes, according to the paper, to !fly from New York to Oslo, the Nor- wegian capital, in the maximum tim, of 55 hours, flying in a plane of the America type and taking four men with him. The distance by the route he has mapped out over Ireland and Scotland is 4,300 miles.
