NAosT persons concerned with road transport mainIvitain that there is already a surfeit of regulations, hut, the highways committee of Westminster City Council has requested the Minister of Transport to consider making further regulations prescribing a standard design of illuminated guard posts, with a view to securing uniformity of practice in the interests both of road users and economy. There is certainly an urgent demand for uniformity in road signs and regulations to that end will not be regarded with disfavour.

• IT is said that the salesman is born, not made, but lit might prove advantageous for some so-called salesmen to be reborn. At a vehicle demonstration held not long ago, Mr. B. B. Jones, the Director of Public Cleansing at Manchester, approached an attendant and ask some questions about a certain vehicle. After explaining certain points, the attendant said: "Do you understand me?" Mr. Jones replied in the affirmative, whereupon the salesman remarked: "Yes, it is so simple that any fool could understand it." Mr. Jones's comment was: "Then, hat do you think I am, a lunatic?" " ATHER a curious aspect of the new speed limit, according to Mr. A. F. D. Knight, manager of the ear radio division of Philco, is that it 'promises to cause an increased demand for radio equipment to obviate the tedium of processional driving and traffic blocks. Incidentally, Delco-Remy and Hyatt, Ltd., 111, Grosvenor Road, London, S.W.1, has been appointed the concession_naire to the motor trade for this make of apparatus.

FROM complaints that have reached the R.H.A. in more than one area it is obvious that the Law's gift to farmers, in permitting them to carry their neighbour's goods without all the formalities that are the lot of the ordinary haulier, is causing a considerable degree of uneasiness to numerous members of the industry. It must be agreed that some concession to the farmer in remote parts where haulage facilities are restricted is desirable. The question that is agitating quite a numher of people at the moment is what proportion the acres and the cows should bear to the wagons. Again, how many miles must separate two men before they cease to be neighbours?
