Roads system of roads in Germany may ultimately be higher than on the railways. Safety will be ensured by proper design rather than by the enforcement of rigid time tables. It is considered that accurately compiled censuses of traffic will be essential, and the valee would be increased by separate classification of long-distance and local traffics.
The Type of Member IF he collects and delivers Associations WelI goods as rapidly as he joined the C.M.U.A., a certain Lancashire haulier should quickly make a success of his business.

D14 come ANY users of motor vehicles have been anxious for an opportunity of testing Coalene, the new motor spirit which is produced from coal by Low Temperature Carbonization, Ltd. This fuel is now available from the pump, and is being marketed by Carless, Cape! and Leonard as Carless-Coalene mixture.

AT a meeting of the C.M.U.A. at Wakefield, where S.T.R. gave an address On the important question of costs and haulage rates, one member complained that he had received no notice of the meeting. There was a discussion as to the wisdom of persuading local papers to publish announcements of this' kind:, and someone asked the member how he came to be present. He said that he read the notice in a London paper, and to the question " What London paper? " replied: "The Commercial Motor, of course.", .
An Incident During an S.T.R. Lecture in Yorkshire . .
Good Cheap Motor IT is reported that motor spirit Spirit from Australian I is being produced from shale Shale in Australia at a cost which
will enable it to be sold at a maximum price of 9d. per gallon. Shale is abundant in that country, and 200 retorts are already under construction. It has been found that one ton of shale produces about 60 gallons of white spirit.
Railway Halts Versus I T has been said that had the Limited Bus Stopping motorbus been available to Places earlier generations a great pro
portion of the existing stations would never have come into existence. From this it might seem to follow that there are good reasons for the railways not increasing the number, of their stopping-places. In certain areas, however, whole batches of halts—inexpensive to establish and maintain—have sprung into being. Scores of years passed before the railways discovered that a compulsory daily hike was not too well appreciated by country people. After having educated the people up to the usefulness of handy stopping-places it is rather hard for bus concerns to come up against this competition, sometimes coupled with low fares, and to have restrictions placed upon the manner in which they should face it. Mr. G. P. Dunne IN speaking at the Exide Refers to the Value A annual Motor Show luncheon of Conferences. . . on the opening day, Mr.
D. P. Dunne, the chairman, referred to the value of conferences, particularly in matters unrelated to the questions of prices and sales, but which concerned all members of an industry and where members should take action independently.
Some Disadvantages QTRANGE as it may seem,
Caused By Lowering the public in many country Bus Fares . districts has yet to understand
that with the lowering of fares over the past few years the passenger's last state may well be worse than his first. Buses bought a number of years ago are requiring replacement, a serious thing to operators with only one or two vehicles Originally acquired when fares were high, the machines were easily paid for, but competition and control have rendered it difficult for many a small operator to provide for depreciation. The man who is refused permission to reduce his fares so as to compete with the railways, and so loses traffic, is one difficult case. How long cheap railway tickets will continue if the bus services cease is a matter that some sections of the public may be compelled to consider in the quite near future.
