FRANCE PARADISE FOR AUTO DRIVERS Trallic in Paris Is Hoavy Bat - Almost Undirected Louisville, Ky... June 28—Paris with its traffic practically undirected, may be an object lesson to American cities, according to Mra. Gordon R. Kinsey, wife of a Louisville attorney, who has just returned from abroad. Mrs. Kinsey was Miss Anne Viz- mer, sister of Marcel Vizner, attache of the French consulate in New York. Her story of how she drove an automobile in France and what experience she had with Paris tralfic may be of interest to those in Amer- iea who are trying to devise a safe | and speedy traffic system. Although she had driven a car in the United States for eight years, Mrs. Kinsey had to make a six- weeks' study of automobile mech- anics and pass a rigid examination before she was granted a driver's license or could even take her car out of the dealer's store where she purchased it. Car Waits Its Driver “After I arrived in France,” she says, “I bought a small car to fll- Al & ‘dream I had always had of touring Europe. I discovered that all I could do was to look at the ear, all shining and new, sitting in a Parisian garage tempting me for & month and half. T could not take it out. In fact, I had given my word to the dealer not to touch it until T had received my driver's license. “Here came the difficult part of my experience. Before I could even apply for the license T had to sign several certified papers, tax bills, and a certificate of residence. For days, after going through these formali- ties, I sat quietly at home studying every part of the automobile and its separate purpose. I had to memor- ize the road code and when I knew everything about the mechanism of the auto, or thought I did, I filed my application. ‘The test of driving did not wor- ry me much as I had driven a car in the United States for eight yéars. Yet I had been doing this while knowing practically nothing about earburetors, magnetos and other mechanical features of the motor. The driving test was conducted un- der the sharp eyes of a French en- gineer. Then I waited a week until T finally received notice that I had passed and could speed over the French roads.” In a Joyful Maze And that's the reason, Mrs. Kin- mey believes, why Paris is compara- tively safe in traffic, although there are no traffic lights and very little direction by the gendarmes. “I never enjoyed driving more than I did in Paris,” she remarks. “Paris is, T think, unique among the eities of the world for her tangled mass of vehicles, each moving noiselessly, finding its way through & maze of dark and bright streets.

Yet there are fewer accidents here than any other place because each driver is a driver.” FANS GET FIGHT RETURNS YIA HERALD MEGAPHONE Pack Church Street to Hear Details of Schmeling-Uzcudun Heavy- weight Battle About 2000 fight fans stood in front of the Herald officeslast night to hear the blow-by-blow account of the fight between Max Schmeling, the German, and Paulino Uzcudun, the battling Basque, in a fight to determine the winner's right te challenge Jack 8harkey for the heavyweight championship of the world, As early as 9:30—the fight wis not scheduled to start until 10—the crowd began to gather, and by the time that the first round was being announced, street cars and motor vehicles had : hard time to push their way through the crowd which completely filled the street.

Mt. Carmel, Utah, June 28 (®— Grandeurs now inaccessible to the tourist will be opened with the com- pletion at the end of the year of the Pine Creek canyon highway tunnel, Zion national park, in southern Utah. Cut through the face of a forbid- ding cliff, the tunnel, more than a mile in length, will open up the beautiful upper reaches of the park over a scenic winding road, leading [to Bryce canyon and Mt. Carmel. From the entrance of Zion na- |tional park, the road winds back and forth along the slopes of Pine Creek canyon, climbing upward 800 feet in four miles to the portal of the tunnel through the high sand- stone cliff. For 5600 feet the tunnel, 22 feet wide and 16 feet high, follows just inside the face of the cliff on a five per cent grade until, at the oppo- site end; it has climbed above the walls of the lower Pine Creek can- yon rom there the road leads |through sandstone ridges and across rocky plateaus to the eastern boun- |dary of the park, and then to the face of the clifts are shown by the white dotted line ahove, New Tunnel Opens Zion Park Grandeurs A mile-long tunnel through a high sandstone cliff in Zion national park will open the inaccessible up- The location of the west portal and the line of the tunnel inside the Grand canyon highway south of Mt Carmel. At half a dozen points the tunnel approaches close enough to the face of the cliff for galleries to be cut in its side, permitting views from on high of the winding canyon road, the lurr(’(c‘ crags of East Temple, and of the west canyon wall. Some of the galleries are large enough for sev- cral motorists to park their cars. | Construction of the tunnel and |route to Mt.
