Qaieral J^ianager London â€" Abolition of the speed limit for private motorcars and niuror- cycles, and a maxiniu.-n limit of 35 miles an h. ur for public chars-ar bancs and omnibustjs fitted «itii pneu- ma'ic t:r€s. are among the maay al terations in existing motorru i'l'-vs recommended by too Royii Commis- sion on Transport 'liaiing with 'con- tril traffic on roaia" in at lirst ro- pert recently Issued. Penalties for dangerous driving, the Commis.«ion says, should be con- siderably Increased; fines should be raised to the maximum of $250 In the case of the first offense, and $500 fi r with imprisonment as an alternative In either case. Upon a second or subsequent con- viction the license should be aut'i- matlcally suspended for not less than six months, the Commission main- tains. The qualifying age for an ap pllcant for a license to drive a motor- cycle shmld be raised from 14 to 16 years. In the case of commercial vehicles which exceeds 2'2 tons un- laden or of a public service velicle, a license to drive should not be ef- fective, continues the Commission un- less the holder tf such a license is 23 years old. Other recommendations are that the Jlinister o Transport shou.a com- pile comprehensive statistics on the causes of all road accidents; further- mi re. that he should also be empower- ed to order an injuiry into the cause of any accident in which motor vehi- cles are involved; but such an in- quiry should be obligatory in case any accident to a public service vehi- cle involves a fatality. ".Any persi n found driving or at- tempting to drive a mechanically pro pelled vehicle wh?n he is found to be under the Influence of drink or drugs as to be Incapable of having a proper control of such vehicle," says the repi rt. "shall be liable to a fine not exceeding $250, or imprisonment not exceeding four months, or both.j with a suspension of the license for at least 12 months." ' The rep rt continues: "Any per- son taking part in or conniving at motor racing or speed trials on a pub-; lie road should be declared guilty of! an indictable offense punishable by imprisonment, w'thfut option of fine, and by disqualification for holding or; obtaining a driver's license.' t Then comes this reminder: "Six i thousand deaths in one year wi;h aj prospect of n still greater death roll; each succeeding year until we reach, what has been called 'the saturatu n | point" as regard t!:e number of motor; vericles. is a very heavy price to pay i for modern transport." In conclu- sion the commission declares: "Legis-i latUn on the subject of general con-' trol of traffic on roads is long over-j due and should be enacted without | delay." | The eommi.^.^ion Is headed by Sir; .Arthur GrifBth-Boscawen. who was I appcinted last .\ugust by Sir William' Joynson-Hicks, then Home Secretary.

I becan taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and it was not long before I noticed a big im- provement; and soon I was in the best of health.
